With bolt actions being a lot better now and semi autos only had lower damage to differentiate them from BAs, I believe semi autos should receive a damage buff. They should be buff to posses the old damage values of bolt actions of their respective self (Springfield old damage for M1 Garand)
K98 old damage for G41/G43 etc.)
The damage can be tweaked but this is to reduce the white hitmarkers semi autos get.
I don’t think it’s a good idea to buff damage from bolt action to semi-auto guns. If you make a mistake, there is a risk that there will be many users who only sniper from behind the base.
Camping and slowly moving up are 2 different things. Zurg rushing has been the only method in this and has been annoyingly so, now it’s slowed down a bit but still quick paced.
I’m even getting sniped with PPDs still, trust me automatics are not gone as everyone keeps thinking they are.
But can’t there be users who go camping? Not everyone rushes to the base slowly, right? Can you guarantee that buffing the semi-auto gun won’t create users who only camp behind the base?
If someone is using sniper class people bitch about that. You can snipe without camping.
Camping would be sitting still and launching artillery every 30 seconds, greyzone camping in a tank, camping with AA against infantry, spamming mortars until all 2 engineers run out of ammo boxs etc.
Camping isn’t just “shooting from afar with guns”, as people only seem to think.
Don’t be angry and calm down.
So, to reiterate my opinion, do you guarantee that buffing the semi-auto gun won’t increase the number of villains who don’t charge from behind the base, and only fire meaningless guns from behind?
As long as there killing the enemy there helping to win the fight.
I think those that are often accused or demonized for camping are simply working the daily challenge or are more patient players, most of the players dont have the temperament to do anything other than rush the point and tend to view any other in game activity as contemptable.
If it were not for the Few that do “camping” type activity’s there would be a huge tick loss rate team wide as most players have a negative K/D ratio, basically campers pay for that rock and roll life stye the CQB lovers enjoy so much.
I dont see an issue with buffing the Semi Auto’s like the G 41 and the Rifle is still better imo for shooting at range as the Semi Autos are far less accurate, if I am camping, I will take a rifle any day over a semi Auto.
IRL, the semi auto function of the gun would make them less stable platforms and less accurate at range, not short or medium ranges.
But they would have the same effect on hitting the target, that is to say that given the same round type, the effect on the target would basically be the same from a M1 grand or a Springfield, the Springfield would just be more accurate at longer ranges, on average, as an example
However, in Enlisted, semi-automatic snipers are much more effective in situations where many enemies are charging, and most are camping between 70 and 150 m.
More. At this distance, there is not much difference in accuracy between a normal bolt action rifle and a semi-auto rifle.
It a mutually beneficial relationship, the Camper’s attrit the enemy forces on the point by killing them as they try and get to the point, or on the point.
This makes it easier for the CQB guys to take the point, as they have less to kill there.
Both are necessary elements to the game, but again, imo, most of the player base is focused on the point, so most of them will attempt to capture it, so in general few actually camp, but act as support for the bulk that does.
Probably depends a lot on player skill at that range and the gun there using and if it’s been buffed by upgrading it.
My personal experience is that the Rifle was generally better, as many of the semi auto shots are not hits, but as the range comes down, to the point that the target is so big you cant help but not hit it then yes the semi auto is better.
