The damage numbers are all over the place, and we’ve already seen what the developers can do when it comes to certain weapons. So how about we just standardize bolt-action rifle damage?
We can use the Sniper Gewehr 98 as the baseline for all bolt-action rifles across the board. That way, it rewards players who want to be sharpshooters and gets rid of the body armor nonsense or vitality.
Let’s just make everything dull and boring.
I think this is yet another of your great suggestions. Good job, birdie.
How about we just get rid of body armor and vitality so people stop eating bullets.
It should be standardized per caliber not in general. A Bolt Action shooting the same caliber as another bolt action shouldn’t do less damage
You need to remember who we’re talking about here
Why make the suggestion if you don’t want it implemented? If it’s going to happen it needs to be done properly or not at all
Have you seen the developers in the state they’re in So expecting more from the developers is almost impossible.
Well I thought something like the Gewehr 98 deals more damage because in return it has slower rate of fire.
That may be true but if you were to start going around comparing everything you start to see quite a few inconsistencies.
Hm, okay, well I think I actually agree with you here, some short rifles deal the same dmg as long rifles.
Seems inconsistent.
Indeed and if we have some form of standardization we won’t have to really worry about body armor or vitality anymore.
So your solution is to make everything consistently terrible?
Nope just to destroy someone who’s seal clubbing with vitality or body armor.
And there’s no way you can defend body armor or vitality here because all I’m asking for is a damage increase for Bolt action rifles unless you’re saying body armor and vitality are somehow justified in low BR for seal clubbing.
Well like if bolt action gameplay isnt boring by itself XD all bolts do the same nonsense some faster than others most of them kill with 1 bullet alredy so yea why not making them have same damage is the same nonsense after all and also we avoid those stupid situations where we “”“”“”“hit”“”“”" the enemy but we dont kill him for some stupid reason even if is a headshoot
the only exception that could have a little bit less of damage are the bolties that shoot insanelly fast (mannlicher and winchester 1895) yet they ae overall all superior to anything that br 1 have XD
Whats even the range when bolt actions dont down with one shot anymore? Past 200 meters or is it sooner?
I personally have never been all that negative towards the fact that you dont instant kill at longer ranges - gives reason to pick Gewehr 98 over Mannlicher, at least in theory I guess.
Sure with body armor you effectively have like 15 hp instead of 13.5 - yet I have to ask since I never thought about this:
Does body armor even reduce the instant one hit full kill chance? Someone mentioned that a soldier with a medkit has 20hp, but would body armor increase that to ~ effective 22 HP or something? Damage reduction always counts doesn’t it?
In the case of BAs, it is not about downing. It’s about having the ability to OHK without having to worry that you’ll end up downing the enemy instead.
Because downing the enemy instead of killing the enemy makes huge difference for BAs.
And it’s definitely interesting balance aspect.
About 1000 meters with the Sniper Gewehr 98 and if the majority of the rifles have the same amount of damage or a little bit less this would make bolt action rifle gameplay quite devastating so if you have a good sharpshooter they can lock down the area.
Except for when it comes to the Soviet flame troopers
Never its good as it is, you mean all bolty’s should have the G98’s dmg?! Nah thats bad idea and the bolt Actions are good enough
God damn someone got annoyed about the body armored soviets again:joy:
no they sould stay i like put some holes with the Stg’s in it:sunglasses:
If there really isn’t a problem with body armour then we should let all the factions have it unless there’s something we’re not addressing with body armour in the game to begin with.
