Speed up bolting?

[[CiA]Stiletto]

IMO, cycling the bolt-actions needs to be a bit faster. IRL, I can cycle almost twice as fast as the guy in game on a Mosin, even on my M44 using fabled-to-be-sticky lacquered ammo. I don't have a K98 so I can't really compare my cycle time on Mausers to the speed in game, but I can certainly cycle an M48 or Steyr 1912 a lot faster than the in-game too.

It's like RO's all tense and stuff, until you try to work the bolt...and then the guy's all "ho hum, look at the pretty tracers" about it.

Things allways seam slower when your just watching it happen.

Faster bolting is nice, but I don't care, because I play fine with a Bolt. I voted third option. If its faster, its good, the same, Don't care.

It does seem a little slow, but in reality its not that bad. What really slows things down is that you have to refind your target and there is no way around that

If it not broken why fix it ?
It feels ok for me

In real life you are probably a bit more focused on getting that next shot off so you arn't really paying attention to how long it takes you to bolt another round. For us shooters it is just an automatic thing we do and we don't even think about it. However in game the gun is right in your face and you sometimes take notice of the bolting, however I've been in firefights where I don't even notice that I'm doing it, it just seems fast. It's all just a matter of perception.

Even if bolting is somewhat slow, accelerating it without adding some sort of a penalty to the bolt action rifles (like more sway with signts getting unaligned) will make machineguns and automatic weapons in general extremely volnurable at medium-long ranges.

I dunno, longer ranges, most of my time is spent aiming and acquiring the next target. Faster bolting would help make me feel a little less helpless in CQB, though. I guess that's more a factor of the movement/melee system than cycle time, though.

See video : I could've fired the second shot quite a bit faster, but I was too busy aiming.

Good poll but why **** it up by adding magical brownies ffs

 

[angelangel]

I want faster bolt while the gun is at the hip level, I find it so much slower than the IS bolt, it should be faster. When I bolt the rifle without IS it looks like it's trying to lug it out.

 

[Dr. Peter Venkman]

Yeah, that skewed the results.

 

[Tomcat_ha]

the current speed is fast enough what bothers me allot more is ppl shooting me before they finish switching weapons.

Bolts are supposed to be helpless in cqc if they are up against a smger in my opinion. If you have to fight a cqb against another rifleman he has the same problem you have so its fair anyway. Can

ppl can shoot waaay much faster than in RO... loads of people can shoot 14-18 rounds at approx 25 sec with a boltaction rifle with 5 round magazine and hit with all at 200 meters
Il see if i can upload a movie...

Hans Kristian Wear fiered 16 + 16 rounds at LS2006 that was at 25 sec..
(eventhough he only gor 12+16 hits.. its still really good at such small targets...
you can check it out youreself at www.dfs.no if ya dont beleave me. (or i could figure out how to ripp a clip from a dvd so i could upload it...)

Myself i do 10-13 rounds at 25 sec.. thats approx 1,85 sec at each round not included reloading...
so imo the reloading time at RO is sloow..

But back to topic..

speeding up loading should be someting for soliders who lies down...ONLY...

I get the impression that bolting speeds vary very slightly from one bolt to the next. Could be perception though.

Maybe have it randomly give you faster bolting sometimes and slower the next. After all, no human bolts at the exact same speed everytime do they?

On a side note, when in practice mode, type slomo .2 (in console) and bolt to see the animation is super slow motion Tis a beautiful ting.

 

[HansGering]

It depends on how well you have cared for youre rifle...
if its clean, oiled etc it will slide perfectly...

I haven't quite gotten used to the scout scope yet, actually. I acquire significantly faster (for now, anyway) with irons.

Also, most people I know take longer to bolt from prone. It's awkward as hell, because you have to twist your body around to be able to cam the action open and cycle, wheraas your upper body is free to shift around to do so from standing and kneeling positions.

From what i know... When you are going to shoot fast from Prone.. then you use ure arm... whats up with the twisting the body? it only gets ure aim away from the target, = slower RPM because you have to re aim on youre target..

but when fast bolting from standing posision.. do you hit a target at 20x20 cm at 100 m?
