really nice but is not printer friendly :(

Thanks for the kind words and glad you are enjoying it! We found it to be continually useful to reference back and re-read depending on the situations we were facing.

@Vikingo - Does this mean a color-printed and bound manual should be made...? xD

Great manual. I've reccomended everyone in the Land Force of USEC to read it. And if a printable version was to be made then all the sweeter!

Thanks again!

btw guys isnt distance between each mil-dot 100m not 50m thats what ive always been told.

  2010-10-14 18:56   Posted by VIPER[CWW]

added.

So for example you have a target that is 650m and you zero for 700, you would aim 1 mil higher than your target. This will give you the extra 50m needed to impact him where you want. You can adjust your weapons zero by using the default keys (“Page Up”) to increase zero and (“Pg Down”) to decrease zero. Adjustments are in increments of 100m.

What a great work! It's far ahead whatever have been wrote until today.

Now, Dslyecxi's TT & P have a companion!


That said, a printer friendly (without coloured bacground) would be lovely.

@Viper [CWW] , Your correct the distance between each mil-dot is usually 100m except in the case of the M24. From what we where able to determine it is the only weapon system that is 50m between mil's. Of course though we are constantly testing and refining these number's so we'll be testing the weapons again to make sure that is the correct numbers. Your also correct about what you had posted about the 650 zero for 700 remark. This example should have been in reference to the M24 and it doesn't quite look clear. So we'll reword and fix the typing error thanks for pointing that out it will be fixed.

@Kawa, Yes we will be working on a printer friendly version soon. So watch for updates.

Also keep an eye out for future updates to include a section dedicated to specific tactics to PvP game modes, personal defensive measures, and camouflaging techniques.

An updated version is in the works and should have a release time of January depending on the holidays. The new version will have a few new topics and some fresh ballistic data hopefully. It will also be PRINTER FRIENDLY :)

Thank you all for writing in all the great suggestions and feedback.

We have been real busy as of late but I wanted to communicate that a revision is already on the table and should be released within this month. We would ask that you contact us (via email) with any last minute feedback or suggestions so we can do our best to fit them in and make this manual work for you!

Also, feel free to post your interest in a professionally printed and bound edition, we will try to set something up at the lowest cost we can make happen (ie. $ = materials + ship, we receive no profit). We figure some guys (ourselves included) might love to have it as a convenient reference on their desks when playing.

...Stay on the lookout here and on Armaholic's homepage for the latest as we head into a hot season to be wearing a ghillie suit ;)

Happy shooting,
-Felix

The SOM is still getting a facelift with such changes as the following: graphics and consistency across tactical info, more subject matter such as night shooting, camouflaging techniques, A.C.E., and finally some extensive BALLISTIC DATA.

As most of you well know, the sniper role is one very near the capabilities of a Special Forces unit who, at certain times, must be very self reliant with very little support. Perhaps we are biting off more that we can chew ;) but when the new revision drops this summer we know you won't be disappointed. Thank you for your continued patience.

Everyone has been incredibly patient during the revision of the Sniper Operations Manual. I am glad to see that it's still being talked about and receiving love and praise.

I can tell you it's shaping up and looking pretty good. Though, when I was nearly a week away from releasing the new version, it was brought to my attention the ballistic data I had spent many hours factoring would be erroneous due to impending changes coming with the 1.60 patch that BIS will soon be moving out of beta. One of the largest areas which will change is the damage that rounds do over distance for all sorts of weapons. I have undertaken the task of re-testing all of the values in an effort to provide functioning numbers you guys/gals can rely on.

Thanks again for the support. I plan to have SOM v2.0 under your trees before Christmas!!

Getting closer to publishing v2.0. Real life has had to take priority the past few months.

I'm currently left with having re-investigate weapon value changes (again) due to the 1.62 patch, as reported here: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?137694-ARMA-2-Operation-Arrowhead-Combined-Operations-Reinforcements-update-1-62&p=2195950&viewfull=1#post2195950
