Jams on… ba rifles?! Now that’s a strange concept, it almost never happens for the simple fact there’s no simpler mechanism than bolt action… I might understand now why people were reticent about it, especially if magazine using firearms didn’t…

Well, it was more of a longer reload than a proper jam. Soldier was struggling with stucked stripperclip. (Gamebraking I know.)
I guess it was only on one type of weapon because they were testing it. But I have no clue why they’ve chosen BA rifles.

They most certainly can jam. Mud/snow/sand can make feeding (they still use a magazine its just internal) and chamber almost impossible, ejectors can be packed with dirt where they no longer eject. There are many myths around bolt actions and one is that they dont malfunction

But compared to drums, smgs and machine guns (especially if you do not burst with them but just press and forget) and shooting with a MG without magazin while moving?
Oh absolutely those jam more. Im simply saying that bolt actions can and do jam

While we are at it, shameless selfpromotion strikes again.
Yay for aggressive marketing!

Yes I mean, like anything. But I expressed myself poorly and wanted to say I found it odd a reliable mechanism gets prone to jamming while semis and automatics did not 
I loved the RO1 reload animation of ba rifles. The soldier was visibly struggling to reload his clip and sometimes even cussed. THAT was realistic and immersive, unlike some artificial rof nerfs…

With the exception of my Boat Oar…I mean my tent pole…I mean my Mosin Nagant. Or my Carano when the enbloc likes to get stuck.
Sadly the extractor at times on some rifles can be a royal PITA because of their design.
All that said and done, I dont really want jams in game right now. There is already enough flames on this forum without having more ( SVT Jams more than FG42 please nerf threads following the regular ones lol).

Ah yes. For whatever reason they chose bolt actions and not semi autos or MGs. Very strange choice I agree

Yeah I know… I wouldn’t push for such a feature being added, it’s not a good time. Many things must be corrected first
(I’d still LOVE it if it were to be added eventually however!)

Of that I agree. I can only try and put out so many flames at once without having to deal with another needless mechanic in game.
There are better uses for the company resources than that IMO.

Theyll probably introduce jams to semi autos only to make BAs more viable but of course auto rifles wouldnt jam either because ummmm historical reasons I guess!

Same as all smgs and lmgs. Those never ever jammed, it’s a myth. We wouldn’t want to remove some (a lot of) people their crutch…

Nope. Those damn semis always breaking and soldiers slow firing them just like real life. Now please use the AVS36 and FG42 and stop using those OP semis

Make it battle royal instead ? everyone gets dropped from an fighter plane at 10k but only one have an parachute
by far the best answer one could give to such a biased player.
- i wanted to have the same capability as the superior Germans Johnson lmg or bar i dont care which for trooper which is what you get as Germans fg42 spam
no i want fairness not giving one team something totally better like fg42 when theres no counter to it as us get nothing to compare to fg42, no mg but to the typical German main this is ok
yes i have why try to help a team that repeatedly cries they suffer when they truly don’t
there’s more support for faster style of game play now. which i like and why is giving a bar to troopers broken but its ok for Germans to abuse fg42

as a new player, i very much agree with your point,
using an antitank rifle climbing to the top of T34 trying to kill even 1 person inside is painful, just respawned and run out of the house , immediately got gunned down by 3 dillshit dp27 machine gunner ,
being an engineer following others’ suggest to build rally points , my engineer didnt even survive after 2 mins
being a sniper camping in the forest happying about me getting my 15th kill, suddenly a group of soviet smg player spray me across the map and killed me
just spawn in with a tank got spawn killed within 1 min by t34, T28
“thanks to the existence of medkit ,i am using anti tank rifle to snipe people”
