Use the breathing to your advantage. Aim for the head on the target at the top of the breath, and fire at the bottom of the breath. You have about 1.5 Breaths for each target, so Make them Count. Also, go into it just to practice, and get really really good at one position or the other. (Prone is the easiest, IMO) Then try and requalify, do your best in the standing position, and make up the difference in the prone position. You'll be doing all your sniper training in the prone supported position anyways.... <p><div align="center"><embed width="250" height="200" src="http://www.theta_mercenaries.homestead.com/files/sphat.swf"></div><p align=center><font color=#ff0000>Why Do I Always Die?!?!?!?!</font></p></p><i></i>

Not really.<br><br>Just scan your zone. When you see a target pop up, move to it, and look through the sights. Aim for center of mass (just about shoulder level on the target), and fire. If you do it quickly enough, the breathing doesn't affect your aim. BUT, you have to be careful of the times when you hit the target, yet the hit does not register. It happens in real life too.<br><br> <p><br><img src=http://www.xmenclan.org/avatars/ashaman2.jpg width=150 align=left><br><left><a href=http://www.dragontalonmercs.com>Dragon Talon Mercenary</a><br><a href=http://www.xmenclan.org>Member of the XMEN</a><br>Have a Nice Day!<br><br>"Politics, war, martial arts;<br>these are tools to bend the <br>universe to your will."</left><br><br><br><p><i>Edited by: <a href=http://pub3.ezboard.com/uxmengambit.sho ... ge=EN>XMEN Gambit</a> <img src=http://www.xmenclan.org/images/x.gif> at: 7/14/02 8:16:26 pm</i></p></p><i></i>

actually, if I aim with the bar adjacent to the target... top at 1/3 from bottom... it'll hit (with three of them) with the rest I just aim with the top-right corner of the bar, again 1/3 up... I read somewhere that the point of impact varies from computer to computer... because with some people it does shoot dead on... *shrug* I dunno<br><br>*edit* fully qualified <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p>I'll fire aimlessly if you don't come out!</p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub141.ezboard.com/ublackrider.s ... ckRider</A> at: 9/23/02 9:31:54 am<br></i>

Those who still, or will again, play this game: you peeps want try to play as an organized group? A clan may be a lot of work... I dunno. This game would rock with clan play. Maybe just something as small as a squad (2 fireteams of 2) to go pubbing together... could try to fill out 10+ if we can get enough interest... because this is by far the best free game I've ever played, why not make gameplay better with a bit of organization? <p>I'll fire aimlessly if you don't come out!</p><i></i>

That is a good idea.... BUt I won't have America's Army until I get the CD, or when my friend returns the disc with my copy of it on there.... I don't feel like downloading 500 20Mb patches.... <p><div align="center"><embed width="250" height="200" src="http://www.theta_mercenaries.homestead.com/files/sphat.swf"></div><p align=center><font color=#ff0000>Why Do I Always Die?!?!?!?!</font></p></p><i></i>
