Battlefield 2 - sniper's guide
SVD Dragunov/Type-88 Rifle Tactics The SVD Dragunov and the Type-88 rifle is mostly the same rifle. People argue
over which one is minutely better at short/medium/long range. My personal
feeling is that they pretty much perform the same. As far as I'm going to go It is this author's humble opinion that these rifles should not be used as
sniper weapons if the target in question is smaller than roughly an inch tall
when viewed through your sniper scope. If you can achieve good accuracy with
it at longer ranges then kudos to you, write in and tell me how you do it
without using a whole clip on one person. This means that while you aren't If you insist on the traditional sniper's role of firing from an undetected position I would give you these recommendations: Get close enough that you can hit 9 out of 10 times. When you are ready to fire snap off three quick rounds, if you didn't take out
the guy then don't get greedy. Bide your time for at least fifteen seconds
before firing again. This is to prevent your acquisition by the gun's report or
by an observant grunt that spins around and sees your muzzle flash. The not The above rule doesn't count if it's only two or three lone guys and you're relatively sure you're not under sniper observation. When attacking squads, take out medics first, squad leaders, then other snipers. If someone is running for an open vehicle (transport chopper pilots if you have
a line of sight into the cockpit, or wait for gunners to come up, also note it
won't work through glass with this rifle) wait until he gets in. Then you have
a pretty good idea of where his head's going to be, if you don't get a headshot If you sight a big squad coming down the road, lay an ambush and mop up the
lucky folks that didn't hit by your claymores. I find the best mine placement
is one on the road that's sure to go off, then one near cover or trees the
squad is likely to jump behind. If it's a squad with FAV backup, two claymores Anyways, if you want to be adventurous and slough off that sniper role I
recommend close squad support. You do great in the role of close range combat
because you can get off three quick shots in the time it takes full auto to
fire 4-6 bullets or one burst from an M16. However, your three shots can easily The first thing you want to do is find a squad that's working together. Snipers don’t' do well in partial squads or squads that kind of come together when the leader calls for an attack, it should be a close squad that travels together and fights alongside each other. It should be noted that the no-rooftops rule is still a good idea here, but can be broken, mainly because the best spots for close squad support snipers are the MEC cities/towns with lots of corners and the best fire position may not be street level with the squad. It's interesting to note that the SVD Dragunov was not actually designed for the long range sniper application. It was created to add significant long range fire potential for the standard infantry squad. Since it and the Type-88 behave nearly the same in BF2 they both work perfectly as infantry support. There are a few situations that you'll find yourself in; attacking down a street, attacking around a corner, attacking over open terrain, defending down a street, defending around a corner, and defending over open terrain. When attacking down a street you should typically be to the rear of the
formation because your gun will be marginally less effective where an a
non-sniper usually has to use iron sights and is probably more effective the
closer they are due to features like full auto. At any rate, the only class
without body armor that might want to hang back would be anti-tank, but a lot
of them have the DAO-12 shotgun so many anti-tank want to be right up there in
the thick of it. You should try to take a position in any concealment you can
find no matter how little it can be; in the heat of a firefight just a little
might be all you need. You don't have any useful abilities in this situation If you are attacking around a corner you should pretty much act like you would
if you were attacking down a street. Try activating your scope and crouching or
crawling around the corner and taking them down as they come into view. At any If you are attacking across open terrain you are probably your squad's most valuable asset. Especially if you are engaging at medium range you should be able to take out a few enemies at least. With all your squad mate’s rapid firing you should be able to dodge most of the heat thrown at you, leaving you free to make good shots. Find a patch of grass if you can, go prone and open up. This kind of assault is dangerous though, so be aware if your squaddies start to rout. Defending in either of those situations is the same as attacking except for one difference. If you are falling back as you go feel free to drop a mine or two to break up the enemy advance. Just be sure to notify your squad if the battle turns and you run back towards unexploded mines. You might even martyr yourself on one so your squad doesn't have to circumvent them. It's important to note that defending over open terrain makes it easy to spot the squad leader. If there is one, take him out. It's important not to underestimate these rifles at point blank range. If the man in your scope takes up your entire scope you should just center him and let off three as fast as you can. One time I engaged eight enemy soldiers successfully (one squad, two respawns) with a little bit of cover for myself because they came around a corner in file and they were so close to me I took three down easy, ducked, reloaded, took the next three down, reloaded and finished them off. You can also use either of these rifles at point blank from the hip. If you get jumped but your clip is full it's very possible you can get a guy just by firing all ten of your rounds as fast as you can. If you are literally right next to the guy then it's probably more effective than your pistol. (Of course, you have ten fewer headshots you can make, but oh well) Table of contents
