There is something so genuine about your videos. You are simply making videos out of interest, not wanting to make tonnes of money. Thank you for helping me and many others with this. So cool that you got the voice actor to do your intro

[@timmy3822]

I have no idea how he managed to get him to voice it. Super cool, a "I'm Karl Fairburne and this is my favourite store on the citadel" kind of vibe to it lol.

[@jashimali]

Top guide friend.👏🏾 im decent at the game but your on another level. Now i need a guide to teach me how to visualise them heads.😀

[@Agent47-RR]

People are different some are good at visualizing while others aren’t if you are having trouble just keep practicing and soon you will get better

[@Paulo74Rio]

This is absolutely brilliant, genius, great wind tutorial mate, absolutely spot on, massive LIKE from me 👍🏻👍🏻

[@DusanPavlicek78]

This is by far the best video on the subject I found. Awesome job! 😁

[@miotokusa3383]

Thank you for spreading this god-like knowledge, now i can master my skills on SE4

[@SteveTheGhazaRooster]

Nice work, the way you explained it helped a lot. Can't wait to play on authentic!

[@TheTheunamedhero]

Great data. You have turned me from sniper recruit to sniper elite. Many thanks.

[@silverpuma7386]

Great piece of work and very helpful. Thank you! I love this game, a few days ago I eventually managed to complete the 'better than the best" challenge on authentic +, i:e no saves, one life.....but I was on try # 20+ on the Allegra fortress so still lots of practice needed...lol. looking forward to your next video. I appreciate your thoughtful content and all the time and effort these type of videos take.

Nice video and tutorial, can see a lot of work has gone into this. I'm just about to start my authentic plus playthrough after finishing on sniper elite difficulty and this will come in handy. Only negative I have is the audio is very, very quiet, so I had to turn my volume almost up to max and when an advert appeared it nearly blew my speakers! 😆

[@konrad11kw29]

Thank you so much I was so confused at first but now it makes sense, also luckily I use the Springfield so I can just screenshot your worksheet haha 👍🏻

Thanks very much for the guide and for the printable wind compensation chart. I'll be using the Springfield as my main throughout the game, but as I only started SE4 last night, it'll take some getting used to.

You have a great channel mate. You're awesome.

[@Dr.Acula787]

This is awesome! Especially the wind chart. I am at 7:30 now in this video (and just saw the 100+ tipps) and learned more about the game than in over 100 hours of playing SE 4 (and lots of hours in SE 1, 2 and 3). Thanks a lot, man! I owe you a beer! :-)

[@bazaks447]

Still use this as a referance years later. SE4 is so good. Stay brutal Bara.

[@AnazHilmy]

Thank God for this. I kept wondering the math behind SE4 authentic aiming. SE5 authentic aiming is a walk in the park.

[@BrutalBarracuda]

Yup SE5 sniping is easy mode 🤣

[@harits3183]

Just bought this game for 90% discount! I think this game is more realistic than i thought, can't wait to play this game!

Superbe. Merci professeur.

[@hamedh9968]

nice job

[@3lttlbirds]

Nice wind tuto Brutal 👍 well i play with Springfield in Authentic i had some much love for the CarcanoM91 and play with it too in Authentic. I like the LeeEnfield too but its muzzle are very slow and get some a lot of difficulty to get a good shot. (90% of shots are missed with it).

[@jimsagubigula7337]

I'll play again with Lee, I did some training with it, made a ballistics table. I am pretty certain 80% of my shots will be hits.

You know it’s a SIM type game when you have to create a literal DOPE chart!

[@marcsugi]

So, this is the theory behind it. Thanks. I've used to use imaginary vertical lines for Springfield from the wind indicator LOL.

[@lanslater]

Very helpful Liked subbed &c

[@time_lapse9296]

I'm starting elite 4 on authentic hardcore and the shooting range became a good freind

[@ABOUD_G95]

my physics teacher been real silent since this video dropped

[@nymnyr4565]

good job ...if you want shooting with great wind try the hardcore setup on mp....get rid of the red dot on options and ask a friend to play the victim in a private lobby...

[@drawnairbrush9232]

Great tutorial. Really helpful. Would definitely try this game now without the aim assist. Thank you for stopping by my channel.

[@eLLim]

you are like a real sniper

[@animapura]

I'm currently trying to complete it on Authentic Plus. I couldn't figure out if the effect is linear, great, great video.

[@BrutalBarracuda]

Thanks!

[@splork8016]

To me the most exciting moment of these games is the time between firing and hitting, when you hope you did your mind math right. I wish there was an option to show the brutal kill cam AFTER hit confirmation. When you fire and you see the animation immediately start, you know you hit, takes a bit of that tension away

[@canadiantennispro]

i like the swedish mauser but nice info on the wind sniping

[@budlikycz2445]

Hot damn the thing with the imaginary heads is so fucking good!

[@Pyrocumulous]

This is the documentation that should have been included into Sniper Elite VR tutorial. Instead, there's just a white bar at the top of the reticle in Authentic with no indication of WTF it means. Of course, 1 notch of wind is about 6-heads at 100 yards with Carcano, which is roughly the equivalent ballistic coefficient of a ping pong ball.

[@yjfnfgy]

I need this thanks

[@MedalOfPedal22]

Good video

[@ivokoimecs]

What if we could convert your "heads" to a MIL/MOA on the scope reticle, it would be much easier to visualize the large holdover, than counting "heads".

[@vincentvincent5079]

[@MARWANRAJA1]

Hello thanks a lot for your help . But how do you get that range adjustment icon I’m trying to max my rifle with the 25 adjustment range . Thanks

[@segestesbluddel2961]

Great work , thanks for the video. I just finished Sniper Elite 5 in authentic -and tried to Play Sniper Elite 4 on authentic, and did Not get a clue, how I can hit enemies on longer distance. The system between these two games is complete different

[@sebastiang7412]

Im level 46 now but ive always used aim assist but i stoped using it for about 2 days ago, and im feeling like im back to start😅, but hey practice and training makes wonders, but i got better and better for each hour

[@dallassukerkin6878]

That is stellar work, good sir. My sincere compliments! Now the big question - given the overall wonderfulness of the game and that they allow us to (somewhat) compensate for drop by zeroing the scope, why the heck can we not adjust for windage? I shoot the rifles of this vintage for leisure and even WWII optics have the adjustments you would expect. It's not like it would be hard to code for so it can only be a deliberate design choice and a very confusing one. Of course, actual policy for the Springfield in the war was to set the rifle for 250 or 300 yards and then just aim off from there - that was because the military scope clicks were not distinct enough and you could lose track of where you were too easily. Mind you, the numbers were embossed on the turrets so why you wouldn't just look is another, smaller, mystery. EDIT: Did a little more digging and that set the zero and leave it approach was the US Army way, the USMC used scopes with bigger more definite turrets. Different philosophies at work :).

[@BrutalBarracuda]

Maybe SE5 will let us adjust for wind. A fair few people ask for it so you never know.

[@AbdallahAhmed-qz6uu]

Since wind is like probably the most important part of any sniping game, I doubt they will ever let us easily compensate for wind

[@rabenklang7]

very well explained; but at 11:35 you state to put the dot in the middle; but imagine you had 100m and 300m worked out and would now deduce 200m and put the line in the middle, you would be off. I don't know if 1/3 - 2/3 would be a good rule of thumb?

[@garethhooper3658]

How are you measuring the heads isit one hit of the joystick equals one head?

[@cyberneticgeneral6037]

Thanks for this video. :) Do you think these principles will also apply to Sniper Elite 5? If not, do you plan to create a new tutorial after the game's release?

[@BrutalBarracuda]

If it doesnt apply then yes i'll be doing a new tutorial in the future 👍

[@cyberneticgeneral6037]

@@BrutalBarracuda Very cool, thanks. As a side-note, it's my personal hope that they add a hardcore mode with a save-on-exit and permadeath feature - it would add so much tension to the missions. :)

[@dreadGodshand]

It's still kind of hard for me to understand. But I have a question: What does the "range adjustment" on your scope do? Does it affect gameplay at all? Or is it just to help remind you how far the target it? Like if I keep the range adjustment at 0, will I have issues hitting a target at 100m, 200m, and so on?

[@BrutalBarracuda]

@@dreadGodshand kzbin.info/www/bejne/iarbm5WnmZlrZqM

[@BrettOssman]

This is great. I'm a noob, and it seemed like I was guessing at compensation. Now I know there are "formulas", which I was hoping for in the game. Also, IF you change a rifle, go to the range for a bit to get a feel for any new compensation parameters. Correct?

[@BrutalBarracuda]

You dont have to but its certainly a good idea to learn the muzzle velocity of whichever rifle you are using 👍

[@kulfonito]

Cool guide and I really appreciate it! However, I have one question - how do you actually visualize the heads during actual gamplay? :D

[@BrutalBarracuda]

Practise lol

[@Prodigz93]

Wow. This is incredible. I don't think I'll ever be able to try the game without aim assist tho haha.

[@BrutalBarracuda]

You can do it!

[@AnthonyJRobotics]

Thanks for the tutorial. It is quite difficult toget the head counts correct but here's the equation derived based on your theory: HeadCount = ( 0.000125*D^2 - 0.0175*D + 1.5 ) * W, where D is distance and W is wind notch.

[@BrutalBarracuda]

😂 Far too complicated for me! 😂

[@AnthonyJRobotics]

@@BrutalBarracuda Yes, so now I know I only need to aim 0.44 head away to take out an enemy that is 112 m away when wind is at 0.4 notch 🤣🤣

[@admiral_xanadu]

Interesting, you assumed that at a fixed Windage, the Headcount and Distance exhibit a quadratic relationship, and there is indeed a perfect fit. However, at distances below 100 m, particularly below 70 m, this formula does not work. It makes sense that the shorter the distance, the smaller the Headcount, but the minima of the quadratic function is located at 70 m. This means that as the distance decreases below 70 m, the Headcount increases according to this formula.

[@AnthonyJRobotics]

@@admiral_xanadu a good spot! Perhaps it is because the headcount theory is an approximation itself and the "perfect fit" is only perfect to the approximation.

[@conapp9612]

This may sound like a stupid question, but how do you get the wind to change on the shooting range? No matter what difficulty I put it on and what wind strength it just stays static slightly to the right of centre line

[@BrutalBarracuda]

There is a seperate option for wind in there.

[@rx1834]

Same problem here. Maybe it's a new bug.

[@MarriboinaAnish]

I own the deluxe sniper elite 4 and i bought it from steam

[@Thomasnmi]

Is there a type of scope crosshairs that can help

[@letccplay105]

[@jimsagubigula7337]

Note: The wind affects the bullet differently on Sniper Elite difficulty and authentic and authentic + difficulty.
