We break from our normal scheduled programming, to bring you additional details on: The Spamming Playstyle.
I watched some stuff on Foxhole. Glad they included a mammon grenade rush in this vid.
The second vid is an interesting Rifle comparison I found.
Takeaway:
“we clearly know the semi-auto’s going to be the best.”
There are several important points which don’t receive discussion concerning the popular bolt-action rifles. TTK (Time To Kill) considerations, and sight picture.
TTK Of Semi-Autos Is Faster
A Semi-Auto rifle, such as the EBR, can actually have a faster TTK, if. The gamer misses their first shot. Which they do routinely.
What’s that noise? The sound of the bolt-action gamer, missing their first shot.
They will continue to miss shots. If you add up the average of missed shots from the bolt-actions, with all the additional time accrued, of reloading and actuating, it’s astronomical. Even if you consider it to be off-games. On average, they could have done far better.
Because the time to kill of the EBR, with 3 shots. Is faster than the bolt actions, with a miss and a shot.
Sight Picture
It moves/changes more, which can be a significant in-game factor. It’s not a good practice if it results in losing targets. Target acquisition & intel is greater percent of the battle. It’s the first sequence. Contemporary prioritization can lead to the gamers’ predictive patterns being off.
If you utilized a Semi-Auto, you can maintain the sight picture better. This allows for better follow-up shots also (in addition to better target tracking/leading).
Perhaps you could make the argument that breaking from the sight picture allows for better peripheral target tracking, but I do not believe so. Because you could still do the same thing with Semi-Auto, without being forced to.
Damage Profile
This makes no sense to me. Maybe there are slightly different velocities/rifling. I believe they’re all 30 caliber. So the TTK should be indistinguishable. It shouldn’t matter what the game does. We must do the right thing. And use Semi-Autos for the Designated Marksman role.
There must be inherent advantages to the bolt-action, one being ammo conservation for example. I feel the game could have ‘buffed’ said rifles to an out of balance state, simply to make them more usable? Or ‘nerfed’ Semi-Autos to an unusable state for some reason, seeming equally out of balance.
hey stumbled on this and it is real not sure why you all do not have it in games robo dogs lol

My thought ... semi close in open sights ... bolt far away high powered scope .. as they never see it coming " ) and takes them a bit to orient where you are at .....
