I’ll just have to aim for the head which is what I’ve been doing. Scouts are definitely worthless.

Difficult when you have underpowered weapons and gadgets and Assault to contend with. Depends on the map for me. Idk why (I never played BF1 for long), but recon feels a lot better than BF3/BF4 to me. Aggro recon works, not to the extend of BC2’s Recons, but it works. I’ve had 1 Grand Operation on Hamada/Aerodrome where everything just fell into place and just kept on flanking enemies at medium range and positioning beacons behind enemy lines for the team. That was probably my craziest recon round yet though, reached near 100 kills during the entire operation and an average SPM of 960’ish. The only thing I’d wish was that pistols were a bit better (excluding the Revolver). So far I do prefer M95 though. Can’t quite put my finger on it, but it feels more “reliable” than the other bolt actions. ---

That does not change the fact that Recon needs enormous buffs. Recon needs rethinking. I am tired of being trapped as only a sniper with this class. They need different and better weapons. I can barely get kills with the default gun. I don’t even attempt to play it in this low TTK atmosphere. I don’t have a ton of exp with Recon or Sniper, so getting into it as a newer player it just sucks. ---

It looks like the TTK will be changed quite a bit. Maybe aggressive recon will actually be viable now. They actually went pretty heavy handed with the changes. More so than I though they were going to be adjusting TTK. I’m glad to hear the assault SLRs gained one more bullet to kill at range though. That should give recon a better chance with bolt actions in their intended range. ---

ZH-29 (still needs buffs as stated before) has its uses as well, but suffers from bad bullet velocity, bullet drop and horrible recoil… Oh, and the bug that make it only load 6/24 bullets instead of 6/36… Lets hope they fix that… ---

The TTK change uproar is hilarious, now players feel exactly how we felt when we saw that bolt actions deal pathetically low damage compared to earlier BF’s. Serves them right, hypocrites. Since I haven’t seen any damage increase to bolt actions I hope they increase the TTK even more for other class weapons, maybe then it will be balanced. Oh, forgot to say one important thing to those complaining about the longer TTK: Stop complaining and just aim for the head, problem solved. ---

Guys, you dont understand… They nerfed recon too… The recon SLR are useless now, and worst it is for ZH-29, its not 2 hit kill even at close range and have a 6/24 ammo clip… Its useless… I’m beyond upset and angry and you guys should be too!!!

Beside you reading it wrong. It is only a extra bullet if the lower half or arms is hit, however that is still a 2 HTK if 1 is a headshot and an arm shot. The TTK changes are design to make headshots more important for all weapons. The question is do SLR/BA have sufficient time at 70m to fire a 2nd shot on AR/SA/LMG now? An extra bullet to high ROF weapons is meaningless. Wait to the select group realize they will run out of bullets quickly if firing from range and need to get more ammo it might actual see a drop in the number of Sniper Assaults. ---

Sadly from personal experience the SLRs hit a whole lot of arms instead of chests since they are holding their arms in front of them and it seems penetration does not take that into account ---

You can multiple head shots but can’t kill a player after it hits his arm in front. I am sure I heard some where that was being changed. ---

Played 2 games in Conquest, Twisted steel and Rotterdam with Gewehr 95 and Lee Enfield. It felt a lot better actually. Didn’t play aggressively but had some close encounters and also Supports and Assaults shooting at me at range and I beat them while I’d just get dropped instantly in TTK 1.0. More time to aim if you are going for a headshot or hide and peek for a second shot…both works now. PS4. ---

Hm In light of the ZH-29 changes, it might be time to pick up the Lee Enfield with ROF upgrade again ---

> [@Gforce81](#): > > Hm > > In light of the ZH-29 changes, it might be time to pick up the Lee Enfield with ROF upgrade again Only problem with Enfield is the laughable bulllet velocity and huge bullet drop… Gewehr M95/30 is better in every way and it has a ROF of 67, which is descent… Problem is it suffers from huge bullet drop as well, took a 530m shot with it 1 week ago, bullet velocity and bullet drop was ridicilous… The only sniper rifle that are reliable is the Krag-Jorgensen, you zero it to 150 and you know most of your shots will hit… sure only ROF of 55 with that setup, but better that then missing half my shots… The ZH-29 were the only SLR that felt it could work for some ptfo as well, and it did to a certain degree if played smart… But now it sucks… This nerf was 100% uncalled for and unfair… ---

> [@Sixclicks](#): > > It looks like the TTK will be changed quite a bit. Maybe aggressive recon will actually be viable now. > > They actually went pretty heavy handed with the changes. More so than I though they were going to be adjusting TTK. I’m glad to hear the assault SLRs gained one more bullet to kill at range though. That should give recon a better chance with bolt actions in their intended range. LMAO yeah they got “helped” with a peashooter SLR that makes the BF1 RSC look like an absolute monster. meanwhile meme-gun bolts still are useless for everything except hill scrubs unless you’re 1)on PC and 2)a human aimbot ala Stodeh, Nickel, Relaa etc., where you’re still worse off than just running STG and not engaging anyone you see making love to the terrain outside of 50m (snipers and MMGs alike) [Previous page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/bolt-action-rifles-nerf-is-stupid/105736.md?page=20) [Next page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/bolt-action-rifles-nerf-is-stupid/105736.md?page=22)
