More Bolt-Actions

[GiltBurrito7238]

I love Bolt-actions! They were the most common and mass produced weapon of all countries during the war (except America) and were the backbone of every army. Bolt-actions are often shafted and neglected in this game because everybody loves the shiny semi-autos, auto rifles, and assault rifles. Just like every other weapon type we should receive new Bolt-actions. New research tree, event rewards, gold orders, and even as Premium/event squads. Variety is nice. I can’t list every single bolt-action ever, these are just some of many that I think should be added

Liao Type 13 is also very important rifle for Japan

[GiltBurrito7238]

You know when everyone thought we were getting the Manchurian campaign I expected that we’d get a fitting Premium/ event squad to go along with the update as we usually do, and I thought we’d get a Kwantung Army squad.

Perhaps this rifle could be implemented for a Kwantung squad, or added in general

Regardless I personally feel we should receive a special Kwantung squad, and the unique equipment produced in China for the Japanese should be added as well

@Life_burns

Liao Type 13

Ohh yes we are taking all the Chinese equipment

[coldestwinter]

I reckon Japan will also get plenty of swiss equipment as well, given that Germany has so much other content not yet in the game.

Japan loves Swiss equipment gib more SIG KE 7 50 round and Mengjiang SIG Model 1930 they fit perfectly and the Chinese SIG KE7 20 rounds at the end of the rifles tech tree BR V considering how much more Swiss equipment Japan has they fit nicely to the tech tree

@GiltBurrito7238

M1903 Extended Mag, M1903 with 25 round magazines designed for air crews in WW1

This was a unique CBT item.

But overall. Yes more boltactions!
And more breachloaders!

@GiltBurrito7238

Type 38 Trench Magazine, a Type 38 with an LMG mag

This definitely should be added to the game tbh they still don’t have high capacity bolt action

[Luvs2spooge]

I hate Bolt action, but I am all in favor of giving the people new weapons.

[GiltBurrito7238]

@Luvs2spooge

I hate Bolt action

You should learn to love them. They’re probably the most important weapon of war in the early 20th century. There are so many of them and let’s be honest eventually they will run out of assault rifles to add to the game.

[Life_burns]

Another interesting rifle for Japan can be Type 81 carbine

[Luvs2spooge]

I do have a real Japanese model 99 WW2 rifle used in WW2 that one of my bosses gave me years ago. I have since gave it to my oldest son since I moved to the Philippines and I don’t think they would have been happy for me to bring my gun collection here.
