More important advice than that; there actually is bullet drop, at least for the sniper rifles.
It's not much, but definately enough to make you miss a prone target and the heads.
However SVD is useless piece of crap compared to M24, unless you get a damn good spot close to your enemy and somehow avoid getting return fire.
Snipers job just isn't to be close enough to get shot himself by assault rifles...
Doesn't always have to move after shooting though, if you hide after each shot.
Also distraction helps - if theres friendlies crawling around the corners, the enemy most likely wont react to some sniper shooting their heads from behind, above or side.
Yesterday got 14 kills from top of the crane (the mid base, which is below the crane, was under enemy control), just by mostly shooting targets right below, who were almost constantly harrassed by attacks.
After 1-3 kills I hid from the view, then took a peek and did the same again.
All head shots, so they dont get any kind of warning of the direction they were shot from or hear the sound of the rifle.
Only problem was that the round was too fast to get more than 14 kills, even though I rushed to the crane as fast as possible
