Bolt-Action compared to SMG has ALOT of downsides.
Bolt-action has alot of punishment for missing. You miss and youre basically dead
Even at 100m away SMGs can kill you easily and you dont often meet somebody at 100+ meters to have that range adventage because this game has small scale maps mostly made so that youre not able to utilize range. All it takes is to hit first with SMG (which is not such big deal) and there is no way the dude will hit you back unless you have perk for 100% reduction of sway when being hit - but be honest who even adds that when you can have health perk instead.
My suggestion is very simple. Make bolt-actions hit everytime what they aim at no matter the circumstance - Maybe some dont understand what I am talking about, “but youre always hitting what you aim at no?” - no. This is another huge reason to pick SMG over Bolt-Action and honestly its so sad. Why even have iron sight if it doesnt hit what it aims at? How does that even make sense? I would love to attach clip of me aiming at dude 4 times in row (5m distance 100% aiming at body) and missing every shot but I am not able neither link clip or upload it so you have to keep that to your imagination
Other solution might be to make damage drop for SMGs huge on range but I already see SMG spammers crying in the distance making protests all over the forum… My point is there is no way it should outperfrom Bolt-Actions at long ranges or at precision and this game does not offer such huge scale maps that you would constantly see someone at 200+ meters so there would actually exist scenarios where SMGs get outperformed by long range weapons.
Giving you the benefit of the doubt that you are telling the truth, the most likely scenario is that there was a lot of lag present. Meaning that on your side, the person probably hadn’t moved, but on the server and his client, he had.
As I said I would love to submit clip but forum doesnt allow me to. I encountered this waaaay too many times and I was paranoid I am really not aiming at people. Made it frame by frame and stopped frame before shooting. I was aiming 100% at center of the body. I always had this feeling I am not hitting what I aim at but it wasnt so frequent. But with German VG.2 this is issue 2/10 times. No joke that thing is TERRIBLE
It allows literally anyone else to, I mean you can easily just upload it as a youtube video and then just link it too if the clip is somehow too big to post directly.
But even assume its not a skill issue, its probably just lag on your end, because no one else has such an issue with BA’s.
I highly doubt it. I use fiber. Not sure on what ms in this game as I didnt see such option, but other games on EU servers 12ms.
And I cant link it. I use Medal, which is platform solely for clips and when I try to post link I get messages that links are not allowed. And when I downloaded and tried to use button “upload” here, it posts some kind of link which is also “forbidden”
If you want google Medal website and add this to link after .tv:
/games/enlisted/clips/kXz6RJwGk5WX9roBh?invite=cr-MSxpcXUsMjkwNTI4NTc4&v=17
Well looking at the clip there, look lag is the best answer for you, even Fiber can have dodgy connection at times as odd as that sounds. I mean by all accounts those shots should have landed.
Its still not an issue Ive ever felt or seen, and I dont think there is anyone else here Ive seen report something similar.
