Deleting semi-auto sniper rifle

[Reaperman]

The accuracy, recoil, and damage of the rifle isnt going to be THAT much differant, as they share the same bullet, i think the SVT is actually heavier then the MN (which is super light), so recoil would probibly be less...


I belive the Mosin Nagant 91/30 has a longer barrel however, which would help with accuracy (the longer you keep that bullet spinning, the more accurate it will be)


but extreme range takedowns shouldnt be a problem with the SVT SNIPER RIFLE (not "Marksmen rifle")


However in the real war, i would want the Mosin myself, in the event of a jam or malfunction, it would be simpler to repair (rip bolt out, replace with new one), and as i said, lighter...

I think a point being missed here is the fact that there is to my knowledge only one sniper per team for most if not all maps

for the most part, yes. There does appear to be 2 snipers per team on Barashka though.

I have watched dslyecxi's sniping video. The sniper SVT is so strong that most people in game will certainly choose it rather than the Mosin scoped as a sniper. I think this will ruin the beloved Mosin and become a failure. So far as I know, the scoped SVT/G43 were far less in number than the traditional Mosin/K98 sniper rifes, so they shall just be treated like other uncommon weapons that are not shown in the game.

So I hope the devs can think about deleting those scoped semi-auto sniper rifles.

I remember years ago, the Day of Defeat Beta 1.3 (not today's DOD1.3) also had scoped G43 as a sniper rifle, but they later deleted it.

Well if you look at the World at War documentary ( old one 1970s)
then it was said that the STV where totaly owning the germans, and almost all germans who got their hands on a STV used it instead of even their own G43. due to its "aim", posibility for scoping and its high rate of fire. it was a populare weapon. ant not that uncommon as many ppl think...

-----edit----

the STV aint that uncommon, look at this squad. they got 6 STVs in their group...

(note one is scoped)

SVT. Not STV. "Samozaryadnaya Vintovka Tokareva" - Tokarev self-loading rifle.

And the G43 was a clone of the SVT, for all practical purposes. The Germans copied the SVT's gas system.

IRL, what's the best accuracy you can hope for out of an SVT? I thought they went down to the 1.5MOA range with good ammo.

I mean, M91/30s could be reasonably expected to shoot right around 1MOA, but still.
