Give me a SVT and I'll show you what bolters are made of.
Not with a G43 though, those things ****.

Same with me and alot of other people, when you use ironsights a bolt is the only thing to pick for hipping other weapons might show advantages but 1 hip from the bolt is still 1 kill its just less rapid.
Well. Not entirely true, good sir! First and foremost, Germans can't choose the semi-sniper on Stalingrad. Secondly, the ranges CAN be long enough, like I said - I snipe from admin roof and almost to Russian spawn. One shot is all I got and all I need. And, like previously stated, I have a hard time picking off GOOD german snipers with the svt sniper on the same map. And on Odessa. Because that's what you should do, if the germans have a good sniper - you should try to keep him away... something I can't do with the SVT if he's any good at all. Sometimes I just don't hit him if I can see only part of his head or whatnot.Quite simply, semi-auto snipers are almost a necessity on the urban maps, notably Stalingrad. The ranges aren't nearly long enough to need to worry about inherent accuracy issues, and the 10 shots, fast reload saves your butt many times in a CQB situation.
G41 is lovely...shame about the reload.
The G43, in contrast, reloads quickly and sounds like "shooting greasy sausages" (author unkown, couldn't find the post, but I swear to god I've seen that post before during the September update)
Hear hear! Just like your hands, the cute little flaw that I love.The reload is it's charm! It's its cute little flaw that you love!

Man the bolt action elitist ******s crack me up, and there's more than a few of you strutting your stuff in this thread. You guys think you're the pinnacle of skill in RO because you solely use a bolt? Get real, what you really are is out of touch with the other weapons.
I am of the school of thought that every weapon has its application to a certain situation and pride myself on being effective across the board with whatever weapon I am using from the humble bolt action to the light machinegun. And I think it is reflected in the fact that more often than not I am doing well for my team no matter what gun I have.
Sure anyone can just pick up an SMG and spray people up close in a rudimentary fashion, but to truly use it effectively both from a sighted position and on the move to deal with a variety of enemies and situations takes at least as much skill as it does with a bolt action. Except it is in the reverse, rather than worrying about threats up close you have to worry about threats from afar and using terrain to get yourself closer and into position to deal with said threats. There is a clear distinction between the 'rambo' running around hipping at everything and the assaulter covering his comrades at close range and using the terrain to get in close and take control of the objectives/deny them terrain/heap the firewpower on.
It's all about mindset and application, every class has it's place, the rifles and MG's are the supporting anvil and the SMG's are the hammer to smash and remove enemies from the objectives. When you understand that you'll see that every weapon has their worth and skillfull application. The semi-autos firmly straddle the domain of both which in itself makes them an awesome choice for nearly every situation.
At the end of the day I say use all the guns and enjoy RO for the great game it is
There is a reason why bolts arent used anymore.
I dont choose a bolt because i want a challenge. Im worse with semi's at all ranges than with a bolt.
