Battlefield 1 M1903 Sniper

The optics/zoom for the sight were set to 8x and the bayonet was removed. Otherwise the rest is stock or as is when the weapon is unlocked.
While I do prefer this weapon because the sweet spot is so far out it makes it difficult to abuse I still wish the sweet spot mechanic or one hit to the chest capability was removed from the game for all sniper rifles. This is mainly because the weapons are so close to hitscan it doesn't take much effort to land body shot after body shot.
My possible suggestions to DICE:
Remove the sweet spot or "one body hit" mechanic for all normal sniper rifles. Or reduce that maximum damage of the sweet spot greatly so it's not doing 100 damage. Possible leave the Gewehr M.95 as is it's just the Scout class's version of a long range shotgun so it's not like they are going for headshots with that rifle to begin with. Then as a compromise leave the one hit capability on the Martini-Henry so the iron sight fanboys can have a slightly more rewarding experience.
An alternative suggestion would be to slow down the muzzle velocity ( bullet speed ) of the sniper rifles to where they actually require you to lead and account for drop because right now it's mostly point and click like the AWP from CS with the ranges you encounter on Battlefield 1 maps and that isn't exactly balanced when compared to the other class's weapons and their muzzle velocities vs infantry movement/strafe speed.
As much as I hate suppression in Battlefield one of the above changes would be required before DICE could make changes to the suppression mechanic itself.

If that was sloppy then my aim is AIDS

[@DerlChur]

You should've done that months ago peasant lol

[@yeater5000]

Gaming For Wartune yeah lol I'm sorry I just found this video

[@billbillington9028]

More than your mechanical ability, the situation awareness you have is always stellar. Been using bolt actions in the bf3 beta to bf4 now. Landed a #2 in my prime with the JNG. 1.56 kpm. 49% accuracy. 3.7 k/d. Your culmination of skills is out of this world. I still suffer from excitement when I get a momentum swing going. Your poise is soooooo good. Since I play with controller you're obviously on another tier. But god I wish I could cross play with a showmatch! Much love Ravic, keep polishing that diamond.

[@alicevik6050]

if ravic isn't the best battlefield player,i'll eat a frickin refrigerator

[@GrumpyStormtrooper]

There are many players that are good with one thing, like sniping, tanking etc.. But Ravioli is good all around, he can do everything pretty well, and that's why he's the best player.

[@alicevik6050]

Grumpy Stormtrooper ravioli xD

[@GrumpyStormtrooper]

Ali Cevik Yeah, it's it's a nickname that a guy gave him some time ago while making a funny comment, so I started using it too

[@TRU_Lunchy]

Agreed. I'd say Ravic is the best overall player in BF4. Best sniper in BF4? Nova Betrayed takes that one.

[@BasedWindex]

Grumpy Stormtrooper Ravioli has the BF formuoli

[@saintjimmy_ajh]

Seriously, this is like god tier sniping, if I where to land even half of these shots I'd be cheering

[@justinmcbride4497]

1:44 - 2:09 "Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight. My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust." Basically the sniper from saving private ryan.

[@casualstoner4004]

That time difference tho

[@DerlChur]

Making a good decision

[@Ash_Vulpine]

NSide Your saying 6:00 AM like it's late.

[@MartialistKS]

Completely agree with your comments in the description, Ravic. People complain about how severe suppression is but with how much stronger sniper rifles became in BF1 you need something to put them in check. I really don't like the sweet spot mechanic either, at least not with it going up to 100 damage. Part of the fun and rewarding challenge of sniping in BF games has been getting to the point where you can hit those headshots with increasing success and the sweet spot mechanic takes away from that. On the receiving end if you get dropped from full health by a sniper who headshot you from a good distance while you were running sideways to him you don't feel like you got robbed cus they made such a skillful shot. I can't say I feel the same way when I get one-shot to the body, especially when things were already made easier compared to BF4 with the increasing bullet speed.

[@job_97]

Jesus even im getting sweaty watching this, good clips Ravic

[@TBAG]

Ravic, I don't give a fuck about what you said last video, you are still the best bf player I've ever seen

[@MrLoewe23]

Ravic you're OP. Great vdeo as always man.

[@Foostini]

I like your new editing style, man. Simple and clean, but with a nice flair to it. 10/10

[@ezperson0131]

Anyone else like to see a 1v1 with Ravic and Stodeh?

[@bernardoblanchetramirez6032]

If my best shooting was your sloppy shooting I'll never stop recording my gameplay...

[@ECarmyEC]

this is my favorite sniper to use, I use to love the 1845 Russian sniper but the m1903 is just a tad better way more accurate

[@Ze_Medic]

sloppy shooting me: "is he... like... out in the open that's sloppy?.... or....?"

[@manos2729]

Ravic headshoting everything that breathes=music to my ears

[@topshot_fmw2538]

Hey Ravic you are the best BF4 and BF1 player in battlefield and also BF3 reason why because you understand the game and you listen for enemy movement. Anyway man nice job and I hope you are enjoying the game.

[@mamaluigi2064]

I loved this gun both in game and in real life When it comes to sniping I love to be a really long range sniper and this gun was THE best at long range sniping in the game

[@SogenOkami]

Whoop, Ravic video right before I go to bed. GG M8

[@Rifleman917]

this video is a Christmas present in of itself

[@_ace_defective_]

For sniper rifles, I like the higher velocities because it reinforces the role of the sniper rifle as a weapon for long range, but at the same time it'd be nice to see a bit of exaggerated drop as well so there's a bit more compensation for bullet drop required to get accurate shots. Combine that with a reduction to the sweetspot mechanic and the sniper rifles would require accuracy to do their job well, but in return would still be effective at their job. Have it be a bit like BF2 sniping, I guess.

[@_ace_defective_]

Also are those the default hitmarkers? They sort of remind me of prepatch BF4 hitmarkers, at least the kill confirmed hitmarkers.

[@jonnalgars2327]

That quad head point stack was sick dude

[@Pestiliance]

The way ravic took down the guys from the baloon. Imagine whole team full of ravics lel

[@felipelopes-cu5jj]

Its 2am and i'm watching your vídeo,thats how much i love you (no homo)

[@turtlediabetes5391]

Anyone else agree? -- lord Ravic u are one of the greatest players on the FUCKING earth and I honestly haven't seen better. Lord ravic this is not just gameplay, this is fucking art.

[@unfriendlyface3647]

Cough stodeh

[@Jblank1016]

Sexy bolt animation, useless sweet spot. Oh how I wish I could love the 1903.

[@rambojr6429]

justin blank it's my favourite rifle, I can use it for 20-100 metres because of the tremendous muzzle velocity and I just enjoy its performance. It's my L115, not the best, but for me it feels amazing.

[@Advection357]

It's a good rifle for longer range engagements.

[@mre1995]

Gewehr 98 has a faster muzzle velocity close range but it doesn't last long, the m1903 has the least bullet drag so it holds it's velocity much better than the others.

[@Jblank1016]

mre1995 Huh, that's useful to know, thanks for telling me.

[@mre1995]

justin blank Yup, it's the most important stat on the rifle and most people don't even realise it has it lmao.

[@Enlightenment99]

I don't think they need to do anything with snipers its just the fact that you're using the 2nd highest muzzle velocity sniper

[@RGV2300]

Dem Dicks which is the first?

[@rambojr6429]

Rodrigo Godoy Valenzuela martini obviously. It's the gewher 98, probably butchered that. It has a muzzle velocity of 880fps, but the Springfield has 820fps.

[@Advection357]

meters per second... not feet. More or less the same as real life bullets... so 2500 - 3000 feet per second

[@zfite3446]

it's m/s not fps

[@rambojr6429]

Just got notified, so used to saying feet for real life circumstances that I put it here. The fact is the same, the gewher is 880mps, tremendously fast and probably the best rifle for engaging outwith 100 metres

[@giangiuarz]

The most interesting part of this videos is actually when he miss a shot..headshot is a routine. GG Ravic

[@Hunter-lv6ms]

ravic: wat do u mean air ship? gun beats baloon! you're head is also baloon!

[@dam22mad52]

Hey man you re a beast!!!! I enjoy very mutch these video, i play on ps4 and i love snipers but what you do with them is realy asome...

[@Radvous]

Did they have JackFrags do some of the character sounds? Some of the characters sound like him.

[@tblynch]

An exemplar of the class. Wow.

[@bryanfadlon9954]

Gosh, every time you landed a headshot it gave me the chills, seriously. I really enjoyed that pilot kill at the last few minutes of the video. Oh and I would be very interested in seeing how you play with mouse and keyboard, I mean, a video footage of your hands on mouse and keyboard playing BF 1 or BF 4. Nice video, keep it up ;)

[@deanwall7522]

Hey ravic, do you use a button other than shift to steady your scope? You always seem to have it steadied so quickly after you scope in, it always takes like a second for me

[@fourstarbrazil]

How about you just use the key that you feel is the most comfortble, its not like Ravic uses some magic key haha

[@deanwall7522]

fourstarbrazil Yeah i was just asking for his advice cause hes pro and im noob

[@garretcannon3224]

if wars were settled by fps like battle field all we would need is Ravic, to win.

[@BocaJrs211]

Just got this game on the 24th fell in love with it.

[@eristiles]

There is literally no way dude your too good 😎

[@bobfrode]

if Ravic had played in ESL pro league on a different PC and still being that good it would silence the "aimbot crowd" imho.

[@eristiles]

bob frode pretty much

[@kanenumera3096]

His videos are some interesting Idk why 😂 he doesn't really talk but he just destroys everyone

[@AKA_Anthonii]

Great video, blackmesatech!

[@Ashfielder]

Your better shooting is me with the aimbot cranked all the way up.

[@gl3618]

Sniping in BF has always been about taking shots most others won't because they worry about accuracy stats for some reason. Take more shots, get more better, get more kills. And find who has ammo.

[@hiuwanglam1641]

It's a best sniper action screen in Battlefield 1

[@xxtoxicsudzxxgaming1451]

phenomenal aim sniping at its best

[@jaku8513]

God the origin pictures they display at the end of rounds are hilarious, "Tight Blonde Teen" with that girl from porn advertisements. Priceless.

[@teomaky]

the guy is like a fucking super hero moving around the battlefield xD

[@SniffJohnson]

Ravic, has DICE ever actually taken any of your balancing suggestions into account? I always read your descriptions and wonder since they usually make perfect sense.

[@Jblank1016]

Otis I wish they would take his instead of the "holy trinity" of DICE balance decisions (Jackfrags, Matimi0, and Levelcap)

[@realm0dev515]

His suggestion are kind of stupid to me. We cant just have to remove the sweet spot i mean i dont wanna use the k bullet all the time(if they even do extra damage) just to single shot at the body. Each sniper has an effective range and i think the sweet spot makes it more realistic. The most stupid part of his suggestion to dice is “leave the sweet spot for the gewerh m95 and martini henry” dude wth that makes the game more unfair. Im fine with snipers killing me alll time after all 75% of my killers are sniper

[@imezekiel4299]

I love watching your videos Ravic

[@CerebralhHh]

Hey Ravic. What Zeroing Distance do you prefer in BF1? I saw when you switch between weapons/gadgets it's on 75m. Thanks and great vid as always man!

[@songoten9101]

2:08 "singing I shot ravic and he killed me anyways"

[@dennispremoli7950]

Well, there should be an achievement for that

[@rilesmattix5217]

my favorite thing to do in battlefeild 1 is snipe people by spotting them with binoculars and slowly and finally shooting them and moving to a different location.

[@Kissislove17]

nice description, awesome gameplay too!

YOU'RE A BEAST RAVIC!!!!!!

[@DroneFeed]

I heard if you go into your bathroom at 3am and whisper ravic three times into the mirror with the lights off you got sniped through your house from a mile away

[@merwinpique]

Damn son. You can game.

[@TheCoolj1212]

I don't really like the sweet spot mechanic either but I think it adds an element of realism as well. Considering as an actual sniper it would only take one shot to kill an enemy from any range.

[@Ravic]

That would certainly make sense in a game based on realism like a milsim but Battlefield has always been an arcade shooter.

[@ZomgRAWR93]

You killed that GHOST_DOG_0 (4:05) in a BF4 Chat Reactions video I was watching just earlier today as well.

[@wyrmlight7446]

Your 'sloppy' shooting is about Normal for me lol. I've actually said something similar to you about the Sweet Spot for a while now as well, one hit kills that don't take a lot of skill are just annoying both when I do them and receive them.

[@realm0dev515]

I’ve called an ambulance because you and ravic don’t have a brain

[@Zipotricks]

I should be named "M1903 Sniper Rifle" but not even the devolper put enough effort to realise that a sniper is the operator of a sniper rifle, or any other gun.

[@BFViking]

Well ravic. ..that sloppy shooting is my 2kd :(

[@brandonhendrix6515]

I kinda wanna see him use the sentry pick up, we see him all the time run out of ammo or come close to it, I get the feeling the feeling he will use 500 rounds rather quickly tho

Hey man, I know you don't usually respond to a lot of these comments, but can I ask a legitimate question? and if so, can you please answer it? Most 1% never answer my questions. Probably because the question is obvious, if I looked hah! But, so, Do you zoom in with optics only after you see a target, or do you zoom in then look for a target, perhaps a combo of both?

[@Moose6340]

I rarely get killed by snipers with M1903s. They're all using Lee-Enfields, or more rarely, Gewehr 98s. Don't see many M1903s at all.
