I mean i don’t know why you feel the way you do. I can just tell you that the m1903 (for example) has faster bullet velocity at over 300 meters than the Gewehr 98. maybe you are simply more used to the Gewehr 98…i don’t know.
You are probably right. I always did have a special connection with that gun in particular. Guess I just don’t tend to think about a gun like that, I prefer looking at stats to make my judgement. But the more I think about it, yeah, I enjoyed it with my heart, not just my head.
So another obsolete weapon that excels at nothing compared to the alternatives. Considering the hopeless mess they’ve made of the gun balance this doesn’t surprise me at all.
Faster tactical reload than the m95 at the expense of 5 less damage at close range. It’s not much, but it’s something.
But to be fair, there’s not really that much they can do with new bolt actions that isn’t already done by any of the other bolt actions.
Well actually the M95 max damage of 80 goes to 30 meters
The Type 99 max damage of 75 only goes to 20 meters
So at 30 meters there’s actually a difference of 9 damage.
The types 99 has the steepest drop off of any BA
It’s minimum damage goes to 60
While the m95 is 66
I also disagree. I think there’s lots they could do to the bolt actions.
They could of used a bullet velocity that hasn’t been used before.
Same goes for ROF
Or they could of changed up the Spec tree.
Improve hip fire perhaps instead of Custom stock?
Or Increase damage range instead of Machine bolt?
I’m going to chuck the bullet drop off to placebo unless I see some hard evidence honestly. The m95 is my go to sniper and bullet drop seems the same to me.
I agree with you on the other points. Especially the spec tree. They generally need to introduce more interesting things than the cookie cutter ones they have now. The last two options of the garand were a step in the right direction.
Yes, so why make a gun virtually the same except for less damage overall, and bigger damage dropoff? How is the, Arasaka balanced to make it competitive and different than the m95?
I’ll tell you why. Its not the same. The Type 99 has less bullet drop. Aside from my experience with the m95, which is extensive, and the Krag, which even more extensive, I can just tell by using the Arasaka that it sits in between those two rifles as far as range/ bullet drop. The Krag, and m95 are/ were my two mains. I know the difference between these three bolt actions.
When I tried playing the Type 99, like the m95, I was constantly shooting over heads. I dont care what Robenter, and the YouTube guys say, play the weapon for awhile and you will see.
Also, I can swear that I heard somewhere that the, Type 99 has a bullet velocity of 670. I cant remember who said it, but I know I heard it. If that is the case, that would explain the less bullet drop/ better range.
