Hello guys.
Recently had 2 fight on Sakhal, had Blaze on me with a scope.

1st fight was within 200m, the guy had plate carrier. It took 2 bullets in torso to knock him down and 3rt to finish.

2nd fight was within ~300m. Landed 1st bullet in the torso and 2nd in the leg. Then again 3rd and 4th in the torso (I can tell 'cause it was seen very clearly). After 4th bullet I became to think the guy is a cheater, 'cause it is insane how he could tank all that from ~300m. But he wasn't. Some other guy finished him from the back, and after dealing with that guy I found my "tank". He had a plate carrier on him. Maybe he had some blood or saline bags, but I doubt that, he was't geared a lot, only had a plate carrier, and all fight took something like 3 minutes, not more, he couldn'd regenerate so fast, even with meds.

That is not normal that people are able to "tank" that hard with a plate carrier. I don't know why, but it seems like you're trying to exlude sniping from the game on purpouse, leaving only "hunt" sniping and shooting zombies from distance. 2nd event was within ~300m only, now project this case on 600m+ and target with a plate carrier and helmet : you won't be able to even drop him unconscious with 1st bullet, only with the 2nd (or 3rd, or even 4th). Because after 1st shot target hides or start moving and that becomes mostly lucky shot and not precision sniping. Before Blaze nerf at least it was an option for double shot, and it was very cool that it had that unique feature, with 2 bullets you had better chances to drop target with a 1st shot if it had plate carrier, and even to kill with 1st shot if no armor. But with current accurasy bullets doesn't hit the target, 1 bullet goes elsewhere. All that left is to "tag" targets from distance. My latest was 771m, and even though it was only a hit (because you can't even drop from that distance with a single shot, not to talk about the kill, the guys was without any armour btw), it still felt good.

The game needs larger caliber, or at least some changes with .308Win. Something like bleze with double shot mod but with equal precision for both barrels. Or new high caliber sniper rifle.

I asked Marks on the stream what he thinks about this, he said he doesn't care much 'cause he don't snipe often. And that is normal. I don't build bases so I don't care much about changes connected to it. But this does not mean that there's no problem. Please do something about it. This is not my 1st ticked about this, and you know it, better of all. I'm with Dayz from the very beginning. It hurts to see current state of sniping compared with what you had in the mod, and what you could do, what distances you could conquer. I really do hope you do something about it.

With all that said I like that you keep supporting the game, it means a lot. New 10x scopes for railed weapons won't solve the problem, but still this is a very big step in right direction for sniping. Have a nice day.
