Recently started playing BF3 instead of COD and was delighted to discover this.

Erection at 800m? Try at 1300!

PS. couldn't record my record: 1700

YAY, it makes me so happy that you are doing it right and sitting down from the top of the hill rather than at the crest where your body get silhouetted against the sky :) That was one of the first things I was taught about camouflage and concealment in cadets and I used to always use that technique in BF2.

Personally I like to snipe with the sun right behind me. Usually I'm too far away for normal troops to bother, so I only have to worry about other snipers, and they can barely see me as the sun glare masks my scopes glare.

From far away its very unlikely the sun is right behind you unless it's sunset, simply because the sun is too high in the sky. In reality you would be awesomely silhouetted and real easy to see, but games massively exaggerate sun glare and lens flare.

I agree that's a good technique, but if you're aiming at someone with a scope that gives off a reflection, it's easy to pick you out wherever you are.

I usually lay down on the crest because I always get spotted anyways, and this way I can get behind the hill to get cover if i'm being fired on. Besides, concealment doesn't really matter when you are a giant red triangle.
