T24 also couldnt fire that well irl yet it is much better than browning m1919a6
That thing had 2 prototypes IIRC after first round it jammed and they scrapped the second one so they could use it as extra part for the first one
Well, it’s basically a naming convention, an abbreviation describing the gun. Like, SVT is basically “Tokarev’s Self-loading Rifle”, while SKS is “Simonov’s Self-loading Carbine”. I thought that because SKS-30 uses the full-size cartridge, it would be a “rifle” hence SVS, instead of a “carbine”.

Dear Sir,
I noticed that I am able to write here, while I am unable to do so on the other side of this wonderful forum. I must say - this was a rather nice little event with some unusual weapons. Thank you and keep up the good work throughout the new year.
Best regards, Decard

From what I remember, it was because the military higher ups didn’t trust mags, they didn’t trust semi-auto’s either which is why they wanted the garand to be able to be single loaded an made to be able to switch to bolt action too.
All of his is correct. That being said, we were looking at an en bloc system since roughly WWI/just after
Ah that’s there the V comes from. Got it. I was trying to find another example of an SVS and it doesn’t exist. Lol. But yeah no, carbines were length, not cartridge
This gun sucks

This rifle was supposed to have a bayonet.

Anyone keeping A running list of every weapon with a missing bayonet?

That’s the SKS-31:
But it does look like the bayonet setup is the same on the SKS-30:
(ignore the missing cleaning rod)

But it shouldn’t reload like that.

Now a question for the developers, is it okay with you that this rifle not only has the animation of the M1 Garand, but also loads incorrectly?
You already have a weapon that reloaded like this, have you really lost the technology over the years?
BTW! I hope the money saved from developing this rifle will go towards a VERY NEEDED new rap CGI video for War Thunder

If that’s the case, tell them to lower it to br2 to compensate

Compensate for what? There is not a single semi-automatic with a 10-round magazine and a one-shot in survivability perk on br 2.

I got the SKS, one thing seems wrong - I don’t see the clip springing out after spending all 10 bullets, it only appears on part-spent ammo reload
This reminds me of that video of a guy reloading a Mosin from the bottom side:
Looks quite absurd. Does it work? Technically, yes, but is less elegant, and in combat conditions you could catch dirt into the magazine much easier.
With that mentioned - let’s not push for absurdities. In the case of SKS, I believe the quicker reload should stay in the game (the current one, loading from the top - Garand-style).
It’s not historical. in real life, the SCS 31 was charged from below
