Currently the Solothurn doesn’t have it’s unique scope that it can be seen with in many pictures:
My solution to this
•Don’t make a separate version of the gun with a scope instead give the current version it’s scope, therefore the prone mechanic would make more sense because it’s not about the weight anymore it’s because of the soilder not being able to use the scope properly when stood up.
•make the new PTRS-41 scoped also be required to go prone to ads
The benefits of this solution:
•it opens up the opportunity for a tech tree Solothurn without a scope therefore Germany won’t have a tech tree scoped AT gun
Germany’s 2 current AT rifles are single shot guns that are both terrible. Not to mention they’re the ONLY br1 option for German AT.
Scoped AT weapons can 1 shot at any distance, have really fast muzzle velocity so leading shots is easy, also they have low shot deviation making them very accurate, not to mention the 2 at rifles which could have a scope (PTRS-41 and Solothurn) are semi auto allowing players to stay scoped in and fire faster.
It would be more annoying but it would mean that standard snipers would be more versatile than scoped AT rifles and it’d stop noobs from setting up anywhere as now they’d need to position the AT gun wisely.
