Shouldn’t they make the reload time slower by making it reloadable with stripper clips only, like all the other “big mag modifications” made by other countries on some of their rifles ?
I also saw some people complain that it didn’t have a bayonet, but I want to reassure them that this is completely normal, the rifle in question didn’t have a bayonet lug:
And yes, it was a rifle, a short rifle to be more precise, not a carbine. You can find a bit more explanations here :
That might not be necessary, as Arisaka rifles had a magazine release lever inside of the trigger guard, which perhaps could still work even with bigger Type 96 MG magazine.

shorter barrel compared to the rifle version so rof is higher
Also will be fixed in one of the next updates
Which faction is everyone playing more lately? Personally I’m enjoying the ruthlessness of enduring BR III Soviets. But I don’t like our version of Manchuria map. The current one is getting tired very quickly. But Moscow. Even thought it’s much older I don’t get tired of playing the same maps.
I “play any” but I’m BR1 on everyone except Deutsch, aka, i play BR2 for everyone except Germans where I play BR3.
Probably because the old maps are genuinely fun.
If you look at the new maps, they’re basically just pieced together from old map assets.
Longtime players like us can easily tell which parts are reused content.
Not to mention Manchuria—it doesn’t reference real geography at all.
I’ve been maining Germany lately too.
All the good Soviet gear gets dumped straight into BR4, it’s just boring. Only the US gets all the good picks—they put basically the same top-tier stuff at BR2 or BR3 instead.
Can we expect that the Type 38 Carbine will have it’s RoF buffed to be above that of the Type 38 Rifle…?
We need this kind of armor for russians
Steam Punk xD Maybe the bear hunting armor also xD
So is the Kretz rifle, a semi auto rifle doing bolt action damage is nuts and everybody just forgot its a BR2 weapon
I have it and it’s definitely br 3 material
Well, then you should take a better look.
Here are some examples:
Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk I (T)
M1903 with grenade launcher
SMLE Mk III with Cup GL
Kar98k with GGP/40
Kar98k with grenade launcher
Type 99 with Type 2 GL
Type 38 with Type 100 GL
Mosin with Diakonov
Mosin M91/30 VPGS
There are many BAs on BR3.
They’re also worse, even more so once Type gets a buff.
I have for some time toyed with the idea of making some bolt-action rifles BR III with some modest buffs, like some used to be… this would be on top of a universal increase in BA reserve ammo to be on the same level as automatic rifles…
I don’t know if the recent buff to this thing strengthens that case (“now it has to be done”), or weakens it (“if this thing can be BR II, then so could most anything else”)…
To be fair, those bolt actions are BR3 because of the grenade launcher, not because of their bolt action stats
I’m surprised that those who so often use the “new players” line of argumentation are now completely fine with the fact that potential Seal Clubbers at BR2 would run with 76 ROF BA with 30 mag capacity at BR2 facing poor BR1 newbies. Like it’s not a big deal.
Huh? And does it seem to you like this weapon has anything in common with the average BR2 tech tree BAs?
76 rof on BA is extremely deadly, anyone who played Mannlicher for example, is well aware of it.
And with this weapon, you won’t have to stop for 3.4 seconds after every 5 shots.
The combination of such a rate of fire and a 30-round magazine is way more deadly than GLs, imho.
I have a question for you. What would you rather pick? This new BP weapon with its planned buff or Type 4 semi?
Playing BR II Commonwealth is so disgustingly good that I self-nerf by playing BR III.
To be fair - there are quite some semis out there that are generally worse than the top meta BR2 bolt actions. Doesn’t mean those semis should get buffed.
You can still mag dump bad semis which makes them fit better into CQC style squads.
When my assaulters in CQC die and all of the sudden I have to rewire my mind into bolt action gameplay, because my remaining soldier is a pioneer - I most of the time dont use that remaining bolt actions full potential. BR2 semis have their advantages no matter how bad they are.
Well during the sale I got mayself another slot so I can use the British assault squad, now that I have gotten the Lewis 303 (Should’ve been TT)
1), Should have been tech tree, 2), shouldn’t have that name…
Still waiting for the Mk I* to be added to the tech tree and rectify this grave injustice… also hope that they’ll fix the sights at some point…
