Bolt action operation....

[zonn44 25]

A current problem with the Mosin rifle is that upon firing it automatically works the action , obscuring the shooters view of bullet splash.(With or without the scope)

 

Simply make it like the game DOD , click to shoot , then click to work the action.You keep the recoil effect in , but the action stays unworked until the shooter clicks the left mouse  button again.

 

It's simply a reflection of real life , a bolt-action rifle doesn't work itself .

 

Also , this solution should be quick to do.

 

So

First left click .....    BANG

 

Second left click ...Bolt action animation ejects the empty and chambers the next round

 

Third left click ...    BANG

 

 

Rinse and repeat until your magazine is empty.

    I agree with you 100%. I've actually wished it was like this for quite a long time! I've done so much sniping on Battlefield that I really need it to be very similar. I always used the bipod on Bf3, and I don't snipe on Bf4 really.. Anyway, I agree with you mate.

+1 Suggestion.

Also, mosin's don't self reload when you throw shells at the Maazine. You really have to actaully push them down in.

Nice - beans.

Good idea. Like how it is in Red Orchestra if I'm not mistaken.

i always disliked it in other games where things were faster

but in dayz it would fit in really nice

Imo, the same should be done for single action revolvers (if they add them) and pump action shotguns.  The same mechanic could be used to clear a "jam" once and if that is ever introduced as well.

I really don't understand how BI cannot make simple reload animations the first time over not to mention. lmfao.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this is important, I literally suggested the same thing not that long ago.

Check out my thread under reloading and mags:

I agree.

I also think that when you reload that you dont drag the bullets into the gun.

You drag them into your hands and have to manually load each round individually by pressing "F" for each round.

That way in the middle of reloading you can stop and react to an enemy if needed and keep the rounds you have already loaded.

Plus by being able to reload with your hands, you can now hot key a pile of bullets and reload via the hotbar, by pressing "F" for each round you load.

You mean like Red Orchestra with manual bolting? You sir, have my beans.

I like it, the new reload animation makes it hard to tell where your shots are landing since your POV flies all over the damn place after shooting.
