Not like I need any training with this but if everything goes according to plan I'll be there. =P I can do both sides of the system if you know what I mean wink

I surely need some marksman training... Constant role of automatic rifleman has dramatically twisted my perception of accurate and ammo conserving shots.

Question is not really what you can do, but which role you want to learn/practice. I know there are some people around who are not really into sniping but might want to learn how to support a sniping teammate.

I would like some more practice as a spotter/sniper. Put me down as Luis' or Aras' spotter.

Note: I am not 100% sure if I am available that day

Sorry Captain, but due to the limited number of slots this training is for members only. (Though I might open it for non-members next week if there are not enough sign-ups from members.)

*bump*

Training opened for non-members.

Btw: we won't use fixed Sniper-Spotter teams and I can take a role as well if need be, so we don't need the same amount of Spotters and Snipers for this training

I can only join for one hour and 20 minutes. If that's a problem don't sign me up, if not #6.
