Please buff bolt action rifle damage or make a class of rifles that can’t be used with a sniper scope if people want to cry about balance and make them 1 shot chest shots as they should be. The current bolt-actions are like shooting toy BB guns, it’s pretty tragic to hit someone 3 times with a bolt action to kill them and it’s the main reason why I rarely play this game over Post Scriptum and similar games is the garbage bolt-actions. Please buff them.

I just want the bolt animations to be fixed so the front of the gun doesn’t obscure the target when working the bolt when using iron sights.
Sniper rifles are more overpowered than ever in this game.
Bf1 cough cough
Sweetspot is at an equally cancer level than snipers without supression. 
I wouldn’t mind this as I think they’re rubbish but I think it’s more because I’m rubbish as I get 1 shot killed by them a lot so…I do wish I could shoot people through cover though like everyone else seems to 
Panzerbusche, but with the proper accents.
I don’t see any reason to buff them. Sniper rifles do a ton of damage when you score a good hit, and that’s how a sniper works. One clean shot - then move off to a new location. The abuse of the sniper class in this game is rampant. I get so tired of joining a game only to be put on the losing side, and having half the team snipers, and most of them camping and shooting from our own spawn. (That’s also the exact same complaint I have about the way most seem to play armor)
I don’t have the patience to play sniper often, so I don’t. Mostly just to get the daily assignments. I just don’t see a reason to buff them when they fill their niche and people don’t understand what that niche is.
My aim is fine, better than average i’d say as I play a lot of rifle based games like Verdun, Tannenberg, Post Scriptum, Hell Let Loose and they all have better rifle mechanics. It’s just a shame they get so neglected in BFV.
I’m not at all saying “buff snipers”. I think there should be a class of infantry bolt-actions that don’t use sniper scopes that can actually be competitive against all the automatic rifles and shotguns that dominate the game. We need some love for the infantry riflemen as it’s a WW2 game after all. Rifles were the weapons of WW2, every soldier didn’t run around with shotguns and assault rifles like in this game.
which just mean that they are better than bad now 
They were already before the velocity buff. Alone from not getting supressed like in previous titles made them much stronger.
1 hit body shot kill would just ruin the game , if you want to compete on the range of shotgun and smg use the semiautomatic , otherwise with bolt action use the range at your advantage and the flare to have a better position over the enemy
Stick to your planes then.
BFV are not stronger or better than past even with new velocity.
BF3/4 had quickdraw ability compared to current and they had a 12 to 15m sweet spot.
BF1 rifle where fine with how quick a body shot could heal.
/s BFV is so super op /s off. Higher drag and low velocity indicates that rifles should be used at below 100m. However low ADS damage, high hipfire spread, ROF and draw times makes that difficult to do.
What did DICE do to make them so called OP now buffed velocity for better range on targets and add snap-to for controllers.
SAR where and are more OP, yet any to changes BA cause Victoria falls to run.
Then the rest of option get even more stupid.
AMR bipod only, with massive spread and slow draw time all you can do is camp.
SLR are so niche your better playing either a BA or PC.
PC my only complaint is the distance TTK is not good, either BTK or ROF needs changing.
Supression is non existent against every gun in game not just snipers.
It’s a post from a typical support camper who can’t supress and spray sniper across the map with MMG. That’s it.
Who said Im complaining about the lack of supression effect? Im just stating a fact not complaining. Learn the difference.
not really. worst damage model in bf history (or at least since bad company), bad bullet velocity and a variety of guns in other classes that challenge them heavily on long range. snipers were at their weakest in this game when it first came out.
lack or suppression effects benefited all classes ranged effectiveness not just the sniper rifles. altough sniper rifles benefit the most (as they also suffer the hardest from it) this change wasn’t able to compensate for all the other aspects that got worse, as well as the ranged effectivness of other guns, especially dmrs.
The bolt actions are in an odd place. It seems more difficult than ever to hit a moving target and the spotting notification is a big nerf to the spotting scope/bolt action combo. Going back to one shot torso kills at mid distance though would see them absolutely explode in popularity and make the game’s problems with static play even worse than it already is. Every K/D obsessed flag ignorer in the game would be lying down with one.
