Change the cycling animation for bold action rifles

Every time I shoot and cycle another round when aiming, the rifle is brought down to the hip. Can we change this for all rifles? It gets annoying when it is automatically brought down, causing severe disruption in the line of sight.

Examples of rifles being pulled down to the hip mid-cycle:

I believe it would be best to change the animation so that the rifle is still braced against the shoulder when cycling and the camera is still looking down the sights, allowing as minimal disruption as possible. This would be like Squad 44 or what HLL has going on for their cycling animation (more Squad 44, though). This will provide smoother cycling animation and more accurate sustained fire for all players using bolt action rifles when aiming, thus improving gameplay.

Enlisted weapons animation is one of the worst I’ve seen in an FPS game. The guns feel weightless, the reload animation is floaty and too much of the gun is out of the frame during reload.

Some weapon animation is just completely wrong, for example reloading the Panzerfaust instead of throwing away the used tube and pull a fresh one out over the shoulder.

I completely agree; I wish they would fix this in QOL updates.
