Ammo and Change in sniper rifles

  1. Implement the possibility of picking up ammo from dead players’ bodies without the need to go after an ammo box;
  2. Add zeroing to the snipers to avoid having to compensate for the distance, including the possibility of cocking the bolt of the rifle manually to be able to follow the trajectory of the projectile instead of immediately cocking it alone without being able to see where the shot hit.

You can already pick up ammo from dead people by picking up whatever weapon they have, and running around and picking up more weapons that use same ammunition. See a Type 38 on the ground? Pick it up and have 5 bullets, go around picking up more Type 38’s and now you have like 20 bullets.

yes there is, i wish infantry tropers could carry backpack with ammo, just like the medic uses the supply box without the need to have an engineer around, but that’s asking too much

that would be actually very usefull, even as a squad upgrade from the tech tree

to my knowledge, you can actually do this in the game right now by just holding left click.

Yeah just hold left click to watch your shots.

You can also ask a squad member for some ammo.

The best thing about doing this is that they never run out of ammo. So, so long as they have the same weapon as you, you can continually request them to give you ammo.

Usually they dont stay alive long enough :grinning:

It doesn’t even matter what weapon the bots have, they will always give you ammo for your gun. All you need is one living bot in your team and you can keep asking for ammo

It’s called the large ammo pouch 50 rounds should be enough for any sniper

You know there’s not only squad mode, right? many players just didn’t abandon the game because of lone fighter

regardless of whether it’s for sniper, rifle, machine, submachine gun, if you have the possibility to equip grenades or medical kit why would I choose a backpack that will give me ammo since there would be other ways to get ammo, for squad mode players it’s easy to say take a gun and die running like crazy to capture the point

LOL can relate but, you can get them to live just a tad bit longer though, by commanding them to hold a safe and hidden point and setting them to passive. This is what I usually do especially with my flamethrower squad

I finally went back to verify that and I can definitely request ammo for my BAR from a soldier with a garand, or any weapon. You must have had too much ammo when you tried to ask.

True. I will delete my stupid post.

But what about the handguns…
Yesterday I tried to refill ammo for my revolver but that didnt work.

Well, I tried again but it doesnt always work for sure.
I got one reload from my squad but later no more reload, not from any soldier at all.
Weird.

No option to reload:

No option to reload from 3 (!) squad members.

Ya that is wierd, i wonder what the requirements are for it to work? I can’t honestly say I pay enough attention on the times I do use it.

Maybe only some types of soldiers can give ammo for different guns, like riflemen but not assaulters?

For anyone else commenting, the issue of not cocking the weapon is just keeping the trigger pressed, as for ammunition only in allied or enemy ammunition boxes depending on the weapon, my only issue remains is having the possibility of changing the shooting distance on the sniper. How do I delete the post? has become irrelevant.
