Is it me, or are the simpliest bolt action sniper rifles are the actual best Sniper class weapon? Semi automatic and full automatic versions seem to have lesser zoom
Basically unironically best sniper waepons from experience are:
- Bolt action rifles
- PTRS
Should add better sniper rifles to both sides, so that they feel like actual upgrade as SNIPER weapon - so that they remain power of bolt rifle on disance, but maybe get better handling and zoom.
I know game about realism, but them at least add Sniper scope to PTRS, or add better zoom scope to automatic sniper rifles, so with their lover damage you could actually target enemy head precisely. Since atm switching from bolt rifle is downgrade for sniper.
Instantly best sniper in game, no contest.

Its good, and it was used as anti-sniper weapon too. But ingame versions have no optical scope, while snipers used it with scope.
The sniper Garand is an exception, I’d say it’s the best semi-automatic sniper in the whole game. When it isn’t upgraded it ain’t so good because you need two shots to kill most enemies from afar, however, when upgraded it’s as good as a bolt-action but with higher fire rate.
AVS 36 has too much recoil
AVT 40 is a peashooter
PTRS sights are awful and needs a scope
PPSh reload takes too long
M2 Carbine is unusable at ranges above 5m
Thompson cannot hit shit
M1919 takes too long to reload
Bazooka cannot pen shit
PIAT is unreliable
FG 42 cannot spray and clear rooms
MP 43/1/MkB 42 (H) fires too slowly
Panzerfaust keeps bouncing off of tanks
P-47 flies like a brick
Ju 188 is unusable because it is defenseless
Bf 110 cannot hit shit with it’s rockets or cannon
P-38 rockets are too weak
Panther cannot reverse away from CAS
Tiger is a det pack magnet
Jumbo gun shitty
T-50 HE is garbage
Stuka too slow
IL-2 payload is too small
Pz III AP cannot pen anything
Pz IV Machine gun sucks
Grant too tall
Sherman Mk II weakpoints are too big
T-34 gun depression forces it to fight in the open against tanks in cover
Explosive pack cannot kill tanks
Weapons are crappy, pls buff snail and stop player suffering.
If you flag my post, you are admitting you believe this bullshit and that you suffer skill issue.
Edit: Apparently one of you skill issued soft skinned yellow bellied fucks flagged the post, so this is the edit to unflag the post.

Well, depends on what you mean.
For sniper class weapons, bolts are the least effective, with semi-auto DMRs being in the middle and full autos (AVS, MKb) being insanely powerful.
As for long range, yes, bolts are the best.
But the thing is that camping with a BA sniper 300m away from the cap means being useless to your team and ultimately just not doing much.
For distance beow 300m you dont need a sniper rifle since you can litterally cap enemies normally with bolt rifle, PTRS or even single shot of machine gun. Also, on medium distances submachine guns work even better in small bursts. You also dont stand in window and unload whole cartrige, but shot, hide, move, shot.
A simple illustration being non sniper having pretty much same chances in duel against sniper if he notice sniper first/first shot missed. Its not about who has beter gun even if enemy looks like 4 pixels at distance, but aiming quickly at those few pixels. (mind you playing Stalingrad so keep balance changes in mind)
Snipers should have clear range role and advantage. And they have it. Bolt sniper rifle - it allows to kill from a far and reliably. It works. The issue is - theres no upgrade for them. All i suggest is imrpving their experience. LIke getting them better scopes, so that they could kill pilots in approaching airplanes for fun. The 3 point automatic sniper rifle is not upgrade compared to basic 1 point bolts - unless you intend to use it for noscope snapshooting enemies in melee during building fights, but there any class would be better than sniper anyway.
The bigger issue theres not so much choice of stock issued sniper rifles to pick from historically, but on other hand - snipers were always units equipped carefully by hand by whatever personlized best gear available.
Also, if thats not an option one could go other way - add modified huntiing rifles as weapon option for snipers. We have great toublebarrel gun, but is reticle make it hard to aim - just add some single barrel hunting rifle buckshot slugs.
You have to admit that if every weapon was flawless, the game would be broken.
All gun fights would be down to who shoots first and player skill would be less relevant.
Think about it
Mate, that was just a copypasta I use whenever someone says a halway decent weapon needs a buff.
