Hello. I know you already sick of it (so do I). I myself have at least 5 tickets about this situation.

Short version: long range sniping isn't rewarding at all.

Longer "oh cry about it, don't like - don't play" version down here:

What happened:
Vanilla Livonia server, mid to low populated. I'm in Topolin on western block of multiple storey buildings. I have mosin with the scope (which is 3x magnification). I see somebody on the other block of multiple storey buildings on top of one of them (Eastern entrance to the city, near gas station). The distance is 700m (I had range finder). I managed to land a shot (don't know even how with 3x magnif scope), maybe even headshot, but I can't tell for sure. I went to check the guy. What I found is NOTHING. Either he logged out or run away.

What's the problem:
Shot was great, boosted my morale for sure, but the aftermath... What was the reason to make this shot in first place besides the screenshot of a longest hit? I don't know.
LONG RANGE SNIPING IS NOT REWARDING AT ALL.
.308 / 7.62x54 are too weak for such distances.
This is not the problem of scopes, this is a problem of weak calibers. You can give "zoom to the moon" scope but it won't make any difference without stronger caliber.

How many more tickets do you need to understand that something is wrong, that something is need to be done with this.

One of the best survival games on the market, almost standard for other games, and not having long range sniping - I think it's a major flaw here.

I know you may have other vison, you may think that current sniping is long range (I disagree, more like long range wasting of ammo).

.308 / 7.62x54 perfectly covers mid range shots, especially with SVD, especially with DMR. But long range strugles hard.

I know view distance allows to spot a player within 1100m, but that doesn't mean he has to be in a godmod on the range that is not covered by .308 / 7.62x54

I know this is not Sakhal connected, and I'm not famous streamer/youtuber/server owner that can ask his audience to go and leave few dozens of comments to back up the ticket. And somehow it's only me pointing this out, I don't know why people don't create more tickets about this (maybe because modded servers had this problem fixed from the start). Anyway, I'm just a simple guy that likes to play Dayz. And most likely this will go down the drain like all my previous tickets about this problem. But I promise, this is the last one. I'm sure you've seen at least one of them, so you know about its existance, and if you don't do anything about it than nobody can't convince you in the opposite.
