I’ve noticed most of the blatant hackers rarely use Vassili. I guess it’s because of the way most hacks work. Most hackers I’ve seen use Rhino with no spread on the minigun along with aimbot, etc. Actually, I rarely see hackers on any other merc… most of them are Rhino, and it’s obvious when they’re hacking, you “feel” it and hear the difference when it hits you.
I’ve seen one hacking Vassili in 350 hours of gameplay, and he was obvious because he didn’t scope in. I think since the sniper rifles use a scope, it’s a little harder to hack with them, since it’s much more obvious. Nailing headshots without being scoped in isn’t as sneaky as an smg or something.
Chances are, he wasn’t hacking. He was just good. My sniper partner gets hackusated a lot, and people go to spec him, and then accuse him of more BS like this when they see wow! He actually misses a lot!
Also worth mentioning… I’ve noticed with snipers that if your FOV is different from their FOV when you spectate, it can make their aim look totally off. Guess it’s a bug.
