i play with semi-auto guns recently and from my point of view having 30bullets only to fight is really short.
Even with ammo box available. (i play agressive but without arty )
I known about about ammo pouch but i’m more interested by a smal back pack.
I would say having 50 ammos at start would be perfect.
Basically, the bolt action rifles are also have not too much ammo per soldeirs. I think its enough for them, cause if these soldiers are could run with tons of ammunation (without ammo pack) that could make palyers to shot more, and incraease survival chance.
Semi-auto rifles are have higher rate, thate cause they eat much more ammo via mouse button click-click and when you not hit target.
Beside, with that low amount of ammo, we gotta focus on not wasting ammo, and spend time to refill somehow/ or swap soldier.
Squads are not survive too long, so sometimes they not need much ammo. We kill as many enemies we can and die, and live again
It happened that I found myself without ammunition with bolt but rarely. here rate of fire is 4-5 faster than a bolt.
i’m agree with you concerning not having tons of ammo but historical loadout of a WW2 soldier would be great for example.
I also agree that it should be made historical. If they carried that many, then give them that many.
On other side Germans historically have less ammo in the belt. 6x5 for Kar98 and 4x10 for Gw43. Some of them did carry additional ammo OFC, but I am talking about the belt pouches.
Someone would say this is not balanced. But game should not be symmetrical in every way.
For example, German hand grenades could and should be thrown further. Hmm, is this implemented? Never checked.
It’s all in the gameplay style and performance.
You are aggressive and go full Rambo for kills ammo pouches are the way.
You are more passive, backpacks with grenades or heath packs.
Besides tankers, I rock full huge ammo pouches on everyone
i don’t go full rambo with troopers. MG and MP guns are better for that.
i like to go sneaky do some kills fall back and repeat this after with troopers
it’s more passive/agressive game play i would say
