FIX SHOTGUNS (and other guns)

[ClemCRZ]

One big issue I have with shotguns is that partial reloads adds an unnecessary step. The soldier rechamber a round at the end of the reload despite already being chambered.

Guns that are concerned are:
The Winchester M1912, US Browning Auto 5, japanese FN Browning Auto-5, and Ithaca 37.
Also the Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk1 (T) has this problem too.

Ithaca 37 should also have the capacity of 4+1 shells
Same goes for the Winchester M1912 were we should be able to have 6+1 shells

Other flawed reloads:
-M1917 Enfield, When there is 1 bullet left the soldier puts 5 bullets individually despite having the possibility of using an ammo clip since the capacity of the gun is 5+1.
-PTRD-41, The firing of the gun should automaticaly open the breach and eject the cassing.

We should be able to use the third barell of the M30 luftwaffe “drilling” as a secondary firing mode similarly to grenade launchers.

I already made a post on this topic some time ago if you want to see more detail about this subject (note that the issue with the Sten MKIII as been resolved):

Fix and improvements on reloads

In this post I will list a bunch of issues I have with the reloading of some weapons in the game going from the most important to the least. Note that I dont have every single weapons in the game so its probable I am missing some. Also my knowlegde on guns isn’t very extensive so if I make mistakes please notify me. Bad reloads The weapons concerned are the Sten MK3, the Winchester M1912 and the Browning Auto 5. The Auto 5 and M1912 both have the same issue, they have respectively a capacity …

There may be other issues that I am not aware of, please put them under this post.

i love how he says: THREE ROUNDS IN HERE … TREE ROUNDS … TREE …

[Naohmcete]

and he show HOW it work the trigger for change the mode, coding it would not be really difficult, since it would be recycling the code for automatic and semi-automatic modes of the weapons or if we get into something more complex, the code for the types of ammunition of a tank and I remind you that some tanks have up to 5 different types of ammunition to choose from, so “it’s just difficult” is not an excuse, if they could do it with tanks, they can with a shotgun…and I will tell you, it can have a scope… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANdKiodm5W0

@Naohmcete

I think it’s closer to rifle grenade launchers. It would also be cool to add a switch to slug ammo.

This would be great, I do enjoy the FN Browning 5 on my guerillas quite a bit, but that annoying round chambering on every reload is so unnecessary and it really makes it feel sort of janky. Not to mention the logic of chambering out a perfectly good shell for no reason lol

4 years ago, Moscow Campaign. I would argument with, Soviets gets double Barrel Shotgun and Germany get Drilling with 3 Barrels would be unfair. The current State of Game shows more and more the Allies Bias.

I am just trying give all shotguns unique concepts, that’s why I suggested that for toz-b and the drilling
