Aiming
The most basic skill of
Battlefield Live is to
learn how to aim effectively.
The first thing to realize
is that you have to hit
the sensors to make hits,
therefore you should aim
at the sensors (either
on the head or the gun).
Even if you can see the
players head or part of
the gun, you should in
most cases hold fire until
you can actually see the
sensor. Remember that
shooting gives away your
position and wastes ammunition
so you only want to shoot
in when your confident
of making a hit. The exception
to this is when you serve
as a supporting class,
and lay down suppressive
fire to allow your riflemen
to maneuver.
When you do start firing,
especially if your weapon
has a large magazine capacity,
its possible to create
an area effect on the
enemy. By firing in fully
automatic mode and creating
a tight circle with your
weapon. Simply move your
rifle aim around the target
area. |

The result is that
even if your target
moves he/she is
still likely to be
hit.
If you are using a
telescopic scope,
the scope is mounted
such as it is
between 10-15cm above
the actual barrel.
Each week we zero
the scopes in to
make sure that that
scope and the lens
assembly are in
parallel so the
sight is correct out
to any distance.
With telescopic
scopes, one needs to
keep your eye steady
and around 6cm (varies
from scope to scope)
back from the back
of the scope to see
through it clearly.

Too close or too far away
and the vision will be black
or very narrow. Using
telescopic scopes
effectively takes practice
however they do allow very
accurate fire at range. With
Red Dot scopes, typically
found on Spitfires,
Berserker Mark II’s and
Commando’s you should make
sure you can see the red dot
in the scope and keep the
red dot near the centre. You
then put the red dot 5-10cm above the
targets sensor. |
