Improve Your Aim - Part 1: Wind - Sniper Elite 4 - Tutorial

[@manflabs5209]

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.

[@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!

[@D3ST72]

This was actually very useful and well explained, Using your charts to map the Delise Carbine. Thank you very much for your work and sharing your charts with us. :)

[@BrutalBarracuda]

Glad it was helpful! 👍

[@Paulo74Rio]

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

[@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

[@LuisGaming-oh8od]

I know this video is a year ago but this guide helped me so much thank you man.

[@BrutalBarracuda]

Glad to see its still helping people 👍

[@LuisGaming-oh8od]

@@BrutalBarracuda thank you again man

[@TheTheunamedhero]

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

[@djsmileyoflasvegas]

I love this game just finished on hard for the trophy cant wait till SE5 rolls out

[@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! :-)

[@TandemGoose733]

This was so confusing for me, as I thought I had to line the wind indicator notch up with the head in order to hit! thanks!

[@DeathMountainDragonaut]

I was way too intimidated to attempt this, until you clearly explained it. You do your research, and it shows! Keep up the great work! I love Sniper Elite! Lol

[@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

[@heavyrain5949]

You're doing the Universe's work lol Even though I fancy myself a good aim on A+, this work sheet of yours is gonna be a huge help, thanks!

[@themarchinggoblin8294]

Really good guide. I can't believe how good you are! Gonna watch the gravity vid next

[@micahlee2191]

I put this game off for years & thanks to your guide I'm enjoying it more!

[@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.

[@bazaks447]

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

[@dingoniner5528]

What a great video. As of today, I'm playing 100% authentic/hardcore, no more breath hints. This video changed the way I play for the better. Thanks!

[@KF-hf4nt]

Wow, this is the best guide I've seen, really explains a lot of things I've been struggling with

[@uchihafanboy363]

Damn you are so precise that you even hit the snipers scope. I currently only use the gravity but not the wind but hopefully after that video I am going to learn how to do that too

[@gregmooney94]

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.

[@BrutalBarracuda]

Nice, welcome aboard sniper! 👍

[@Deadvalley200]

Another good tip is that aiming for center mass is often a better option than aiming for the head, since it’s a bigger target with lots of vital organs such as the heart and lungs which are usually a guaranteed kill shot

[@Lucas61616]

I'll add to this by saying that lung shots are arguably far more reliable. Center mass is good, but one should ideally aim for the lungs/sides of the chest more than the true center, because heart shots feel extremely finnicky to me in comparison. A good lung shot is by comparison easy to get even by complete accident, so they're a very nice way to execute panicked enemies running around rather than trying to get a more difficult headshot.

[@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!

[@alexlockout]

Bravo, this is very useful and clear.

[@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

[@cameronnovy3718]

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

[@SteveTheGhazaRooster]

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

[@alexs3646]

What a phenomenal video, thanks for the detailed instructions/tips.

[@marcsugi]

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

[@ihsanulusoy16]

Wow this was an awesome tutorial. Very well done.

[@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?

[@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 👍

[@English_Speaking_Fox]

Outstanding effort. Works perfectly.

[@ViikramSiingh777]

Such a nice video and beautiful explanation. Thanks a lot for the help. You wont find such a genuine and awesome tutorial anywhere on youtube.

[@dakinoytc986]

Thank you sir i gonna love every one of yours tuto and get good at the game in authentic

[@Agent47-RR]

Amazing video with great tips! And it is simple 😁 Keep up the work

[@time_lapse9296]

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

[@robysword12]

You're blowing my mind mate, well done

[@DarkMartiin]

The best chanel bro! Xd

[@karlfairbourne7929]

Definitely

[@LoneGuyOnTheStreet]

This man is a real sniper

[@jimsagubigula7337]

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

[@ABOUD_G95]

my physics teacher been real silent since this video dropped

[@eLLim]

you are like a real sniper

[@ippivonlarha9900]

Right. With assistant the game can't be entertaining. Longshots are rewarding, on regular or plus.

[@arkham0078]

Yes, on cadet a 400+ meter shot is rewarding when a little red dot shows you exactly where to aim, which would he right on the cross hair. You can't tell me an S rank long shot with the delisle on authentic plus, achieved on the first shot fired is just as rewarding as one on cadet with the aim assist.

[@jad2290]

​​@@arkham0078 It is, but why cadet? Just the sniper elite (Hard), you cannot have fun completing a level without the diamond assist

[@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".

[@Ikaros1973]

Excellent explanations! Thanks!!!

[@taufikramdhani4514]

This is masterpiece, your videos really helps me a lot

[@Spectans1]

Briliant and very useful, thank you!

[@awktiub]

thanks a lot mate...your guide and tips really help

[@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

[@normanw.5725]

This one was enormously helpful. Thank you very much

[@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.

[@SAFeCRACKeR09]

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! 😆

[@TheEternalOuroboros]

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

[@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

[@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 👍🏻

[@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.

[@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...

[@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

[@xuxixuia]

Excelente video a explicar o vento e a interferência que faz nas munições. Muito prático os desenhos a explicar de forma muito simples como funciona a mecânica do jogo. Muito Obrigado! Thank you very much. Excelent video 💯

[@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. :)

[@jeremyblackburn5740]

Awesome guide buddy!

[@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

[@Sweatedsiren895]

3:41 if this is the case, I can only use SVT-38 And Springfield

[@admiral_xanadu]

This is brilliant. Just one thing, for the chart at the 11:39 minute mark, you suggested putting the green dot (250 m) in between the cyan (200 m) and orange (300 m) dots. This is not exactly correct, since the left side of the half should be smaller than the right, which is evident by the distance between the red dot and cyan dot (100 m to 200 m) being significantly smaller than the distance between the cyan dot and the orange dot (200 m to 300 m). With that being said, the green dot should be shifted slightly to the left, rendering the compensation closer to 5 heads. It appeared that you made about 5.3 heads of compensation during the test, which likely explains why you hit his right eye instead of between his eyes.

[@snoopdogg_tg]

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

[@budlikycz2445]

[@pj21-ITA]

[@superleipoman]

I hope the 5th game will have a wind dail for your scope to make it slightly easier. The wind is too hard to predict and I keep hitting targets non-lethally which is way too frustrating!

[@yorkshirepud6676]

Very Good!

[@johndouglas9473]

Great guide.

[@NGMTwitch]

the math does indeed check out but trying to imagine aiming 11 heads to the side while timing both the wind at the right notch, a sound mask and the movement of the enemy sounds still absolutely impossible

[@michaelcioce3227]

I bet real snipers carry around this guy's cheat sheet for reference in the field

[@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.

[@Scoupe400]

12:15 cannot be true as you’ve proven it’s not a linear change through distance.
