It’s clip fed from the top, just like any other bolt action sniper. The no.4 has detachable mag reload.

I’d rather see it buffed, commonwealth is slowly being pushed to BRII max, when I know some of their equipment can easily function at BRIV.
I’d support not having the UK capped at BR II. If anything, don’t nerf the No. 4 just downtier it to BR II and buff the SMLE (T) to stay in BR III.

Actually, here’s another idea;
Buff the RoF of all Lee-Enfields and their variants to be the same as the as the Japanese Type 38 rifle, and then uptier them all to BR III.
British vehicles, especially ones not yet added like the Comet, are going to be between BR II to IV, so lets just make the infantry line up be there too.
People will finally stop complaining about the 10-round capacity too of them, if they’re a BR higher.
Idk, could be an interesting experiment.
P14 in BR I, Ross in BR II, Lee-Enfields in BR III.

This would honestly be my preferred idea. If we can get them to do it that would be awesome, because it would allow representation for commonwealth higher up in the tree.

Uh no? Germany has mannlicher that shoots over 70rpm with 10 bullets, russia has winchester that shoots over 70rpm with 8 bullets. Why the hell does it need to be br3? Bolt action does not belong in br3. If you choose to bring it there that’s fine. We all know br3 is for semi autos though.
The crux of the argument is that the person holding the vote wanted to move the Tier 3 sniper rifle to Tier 2 simply because he wanted it, not because others needed it. Furthermore, sniper rifles are unnecessary in low-priority Allied rooms; they would be redundant.
5 rounds.
5 rounds.
The only two exceptions I am aware of in game is the M1917 Enfield with 6 rounds (which should be BR I, IMO), and the VG-2 with 10.
However, neither od those two really compares to the Lee-Enfields.
I don’t know about “bolt-actions obviously don’t belong in BR III”, that’s just dogma. The No. 4 (T) is certainly thriving.
With double the magasine capacity of almost every other gun in game, an even higher RoF, and the cycling-whilst-aiming function, the Lee-Enfields could well be BR III.
Indeed, it would be an interesting and unique feature for the Allies, since I don’t see any other BAs qualifying for BR III.
