Another fun killing experince....i am all for rifles, m1, mauser, and any sniper. At destroyed village i was using the springfield..now thats one sniper that i am not good at all with. i was sniping under the ruble thing and some axis caught me and had an stg. the guy was firing like crazy and i was struggling to get up and when i finally did another stg guy came to help his nazi pal. now i suck with sniper close range so i just kept circling both of them while they shot like madmen at me. i took them both out one in the head the other in the upper torso and i didnt even get hurt. i felt sorry for the little buggas. does any one else have fun picking on noobs other than me biggrin: . i enjoy a challenge way more though.
im in a sniper only clan and we play sniper only matches against other clans. but i often just get into a game to play vs non snipers. itll boost up your close combat a lot. close combat vs a good sniper can be hard. but close combat vs a pretty good mg or smg-er is harder. and i just love to shoot a smg-er with one shot up close and leave them with the thought "what the hell just happened?"
just stick to corners up close, make them run after u.. that way its easy to set up a shot and watch them walk into it. just have to rely on your ability to calculate when to pull the trigger, from waht angle, etc. etc.
I can never hit shit with the thompson. I usually go with a trusty M1 or Springfield rifle on allies. You're right, nothing's sweeter than a close quarters kill with a sniper rifle IMO.
