Hello. I'm here to report that sniping in game is in very unpleasant state. Technically I wouldn'y call it sniping, more like entry marksmaning. Distances that you can get a poerson on in Dayz are very limited (low) to call it sniping. Most powerful calibers in the game are not capable to do any significan't damage to players on distances greater than ~500m (by significant I mean kill with 1 bullet to the body or at least knock out). Therefore greater distances like 600, 700, 800m and more are unchreacheble at all. We hase scope with enough of magnification for them (hunting one), but the only think it is good for is just spectating. Mosin rifle, SVD, new SV98 are not good for long range sniping (partly because of the scope but mostly because low damage on 7.62x54 on that distances). Tundra and Savanna has hunting scope but .308 still critically is not enough for that distances. I don't talk about other rifles, 'cause they use even smaller calibers (ssg 5.45x39, SG with 7.62x39, Scout enev has best bullet speed multiplier of 1.21 but still is on thee 5.56x45). It's obvious that just crancing up stats for existing calibers will break ecosystem for other weapons that uses it, that is why the best solution would be adding higher caliber for sniper rifles (.338 / .408 / 50BMG). If not a oneshot to the body, at least give the option to be able to knowck player down on 700m. Stop ignoring it, it is a problem and pretty sagnificant. And the fact that you used teaser screenshot for 1.25 exp dev stream that kinda says "you will be able to use SV98 on 700m distance", and the distance you can tell by measuring it from that rooftop of a shed to helicrash / or that big yellow truck near Nadbor plant. But the fact that you used it like that says either you don't take this as a problem, or just keeping ignoring it. Another part that you used word "exotic" for standard military sniper rifle which mostly caused all this, 'cause if it wasn't about the "exotic" nobody wouldn't even start to think about higher calibers. This is my opinion, but in tearms of a long range damage releasing SV98 mafe zero changes. I want to repeat that this is not a feedback, this is problem (bug). Start treat it like a bug. If you don't understant it like it is, here's a comparison : it's like trying to kill a a person with .22 LLR that is 250m away from you. Yes, you can hit her, but any sagnificant damage.... don't think so.
