Sniper version of the Mannlicher M1895 for BR2

The Mannlicher M1895 had scoped versions in real life with units made from a mix of M1895 rifles and carbines during WW1 in decent numbers, and it could serve as a fun new sniper rifle for BR2. Either the long or carbine version could be added, but seeing as the model in game is the shorter carbine version, this could be cool to see. I recommend watching the attached video for more in depth information about the gun if you want to know more.

I feel like the Devs ignore adding more ā€œfiller contentā€ for lower tiers, sure we got the br2 fedrov rifle but that was something the soviets were owed, I want to see more low tier weapons for the sake of diversity but most updates have lots of higher tier stuff instead.

Most likely cause they think the majority of the community play BR 5

It appears they don’t know their community

I’m pretty sure they don’t care at rimes unless the community is really, REALLY pissed off about something

Perfect for Hungarian tech tree . . .

Do you want to make the other German bolt-action snipers obsolete? Don’t be selfish, haha. It’s a good idea.

I’m not aware of any sniper variant of the Mannlicher existing during WW2, even if it is hypothetically not impossible.

couls be a good event weapon,yes

Would work nicely as an event reward. The allies could get the Ross rifle with Warner & Swasey scope as a counterpart.

Events and battle passes still exist tho - scoped Mannlicher is definitely an interesting possibility for sure, even if not on Axis TT.

I appreciate event and BP weapons, but I’d prefer if the Devs didn’t drip feed us a limited amount of low br weapons through events because then if you miss the event then you have to wait for ever to see the gun return and in the case of BP weapons they might never return😄

Its sort of sad, some sidegrades would be nice, especially with snipers since a lot of nations only get few choices.
We get some strange additions sometimes though. Maybe they should be engaging more with players to understand what they want.
(So maybe not sniper, but at least something people want, so no M2 sawn of nonsence but an AR for japs for instance)
