Tactics Bolter who plays like a smg'er

The advantage Bolts have over SMGs on rare occasions is the damage. The Bolt only takes 1 shot to kill, while SMG takes 4-5. The damage rarely matters in close range, but on medium ranges, you are able to survive multiple hits, allowing you to take out that pesky SMG.

Yesterday for example. A guy shoots me with his MP40 point blank, and I managed to survive and shot him back and he died. I got hit in the legs, chest, and stomich. This has happned many times already.

You're not alone.

That score was achieved on Danzig, and he was playing as a Russian. Cap points are easy to come by.

This, on the other hand, is three rounds of Snowy Forest playing on the defence, with nothing but kills to contribute to points.

A good third of those were bayonet kills.

I like bolt-action rifles.

As a Rifleman, I provide tons of long range cover, so that Assault Troopers can go in and wreck havoc, then I follow them in and kill the survivors. OR, most of the time I just pick any enemies off when I see them, and sneak up on the other team from behind and secretly shoot them.

I don't melee much, and I only hipshoot if I have to. Most of the time, I am just accurate in iron sights at any range. Close Range iron sights kills are fun. I love how I get shot by an SMG, and I shoot the guy and kill him and he says "OMG, how did you live"?
