Oh yeah true haha - soviet flamer is the only unit in the game with almost 17 effective HP.
you seem to be blind rigth? that “pointless armor” is able to give you immunity against one shot weapons sometimes even bolties (when is up to 150 m + torso shoot luckly this is unusual) the problem comes with the SMGs where time to kill is basically everything have you realized that meanwhile you have the STG that kills on 2-3 shoots depending on distance we got the soviets wiping squads with the federov avtomat with only 1 bullet? also why using the STG when you got the AS-4 (ww2 ak47) which is overall stg but better
but well if armor is pointless after all why not remove it? or give one cosmetic with that adventage to the other nations by free after all inst a problem rigth? 
Yeah, i agree.
For example, .30-06 is gonna hit harder than 6.5 Arisaka

Lol one shot, headshot. That’s all it takes. Fook your body armour xxx
Horde tactics say otherwise So have fun stopping nine man Squad of riflemen or whatever combination they use.
What do ‘horde tactics’ say? Xx
If you’ve ever played any zombie games you know how effective a bolt action rifle is in the apocalypse especially in a city on street level.

F*cking love bolt action gameplay(infantry ver. of bolties, not sniper), getting in cqc with a boltie, popping a couple commies in the chest with the satisfying bolt rack after each kill then charging the rest with your bayonet is literally the coolest thing ever but to each their own, I suppose.
Well depends on how You look at it
I preffer doing tons of kills with a Automatic rifle while leaning for fun that also can turn 9 soldiers into mini assaulters and Even more on CQB where “bots party” is so usual is almost imposible to miss (unless You aim like me) yet i love literally unistalling 5-10 bots on 1 sec with just one mag the only problem i got with Automatic rifle gameplay Is the fact of playing at long ranges
Since i only have the FG42 Aviable which is CQB focused and also firerate is to high making it to harder to aim on long ranges + poor accuracy but i know My problems Will end once i get the AVT 40 20
Did i say its “pointless?” nah dont think so, and when i shoot this guys i shoot in “zip upwards” thats a rael tacktic and works here as well, normally you shoot from down side the body and going or bring the shots upwards to the head(from low read position) but here i start from middle of the body and go upwards with the shots and it works in real this are 2-3shots and the guy who is threaten you lay on ground here are bit more shots but it works in mid and close range
when it comes to close ranges do you really think you will have an oportunity to do all you explained while enemy just need to move its crossair and press click once to delete you? if enemy is fast you will never manage to 1 vs 1 him unless you try other kind of trick besides from that its a good trick ngl but having the power of a federov with those 13.9 damage is better since all you need is to aim and click
also when it comes to mid ranges the difference is even worse 3 shoots with STG while 2 with federov even if is 1 shoot the longer the enemy survives the more oportunites he have to take cover or counter attack
Hmmmm… me and you should teams up, u speako ma lingo xxx

There already is a certain degree of standardization in damage. Typically, most 7.5-8mm Bolties deal 23.6, 25.4, or 27.3 damage depending on whether they are carbine, rifle, or long rifle length, with smaller caliber bolt-actions having a similar structure. the Axis tree has some variability outside of this general rule, so I could see some of that getting wrangled.
I like that this damage variance exists for bolties. it helps to differentiate the bolt-actions a bit more, given the speed of gameplay they reside in has more room to play in terms of value.

Not a big fan of the Tarkov jiggle peaks around corners, kinda lame imo.
While a little br5 gaming is fun every once in a while, it’s not something I can bring myself to play for very long. When the general power level is so high that every soldier has a fast firing, high damage automatic weapon it trivializes infantry combat. When I am on br5 tho, i’m either on soviets with NKVD tommys and assault engies or Germans MG42 maxxing as much as I can
I’d recommend the FG42-2, lower firerate but generally better overall. Haven’t used the AVT 20 yet. I’ve had it unlocked for a bit but i’ve been hoarding my silver for the gambling boxes
Well as i mentioned it depends on how You look at it after all
Mb here i was reffering to the Fg42-2 all the time the “Fg42” is totally ruined theres no point on using a gun with little mag and 900 rof and Even with the II versión You Will suffer the same problem +accuracy stills being poor compared to like the T20 and AVT eventually You Will realize that these guns are overall better
