I’m not seeing where you’re going with this.
Or they could impelment that ACTUAL rifles the Brits used for sniping -
- P14/No III Mk 1 - still used at the start of WW2 (and indeed into Korea although declared obsolete) and non-scoped version would have been a good basic rifle for the allies in Tunisia rather than the 1903
- SMLE No. 1 Mk. III* (HT) - made by the Australians with a Heavy barrel and Telescopic sights (hence the HT in the designation)
- No. 4 Mk. I - conversion of the standard No 4 rifle
That would be a nice clear progression… but no…

Probably that it’s kind of boring that the Brits get the same old American springfields that we’ve already played with instead of British sniper rifles.
