They need to make it so the SMLE can chamber a new round without coming out of the scope. The real rifle, unlike most bolt-actions, can have the bolt open and pulled back without hitting your face or blocking the sights. It's the perfect rifle for that playstyle, but sadly DICE doesnt know that :/
@Arctic13977 жыл бұрын
I'm sure they do know that, it's in the name of weapon balancing, the sacrifice with the infantry and carbine variants is that you can't as easily make accurate shots at extreme distances because you don't have a scope but you have the advantage of staying ads while cycling the bolt. The marksman version obviously has the reverse pros and cons in the name of balance.
@nat0404967 жыл бұрын
Arctic 1397 Yes but the M95 can rechamber rounds while down the scope. The roles of the SMLE and M95 should have been switched, or make them designed with a similar but different playstyle, like with the M1903 and the Gewehr M98
@Arctic13977 жыл бұрын
+SwordBreaker925 as far as I'm aware the M95 has no "sweet spot" meaning it will always take 2 shots to the body to kill with it, so letting you stay scoped while rechambering is how they chose to balance out that particular disadvantage as the SMLE does have a sweetspot albeit quite a small one. Just use the SMLE carbine or infantry, both more effective and satisfying than the marksman imo and better for PTFO.
@nat0404967 жыл бұрын
Arctic 1397 Yes, that's true, but that's my point, that their roles should have been switched, because the SMLE was specifically designed to allow the user to fire and cycle the action without having to lose their sight picture. I dont believe the M95 was designed that way
@Arctic13977 жыл бұрын
SwordBreaker925 The SMLE isn't the only bolt of the period that had that feature. The M95 is balanced the way it is because IRL it had quite a high rate of fire for a bolt action since it was straight pull. It was nicknamed "rück zurück" meaning back and forth in German. So for it to have quite a high RoF and one shot kill capability would be OP. Both guns are balanced appropriately with respect to their real life characteristics imo.

@larquefausse36237 жыл бұрын
The Enfield's fast fire rate comes from it's action: The throw is short, has little rotation, and the raceway is more natural (transition is between pulling/rotating the bolt is smoother). Also when the bolt is up, it doesn't obstruct the shooter's view of the sights. All this allows the shooter to maintain an aiming posture while operating the action. And like a few other bolt action rifles, the handle is close enough to the trigger, where the shooters don't have to let go of the bolt handle and just pull the trigger with their middle finger. The whole system really lends itself well for hitting that 30rpm rate of fire which is pretty crazy for a bolt action rifle.

The .303 British round and the Lee Metford were both designed for black powder, and both had to be redesigned when the French issued the pioneering M1886 Lebel Rifle. The switch to smokeless powder necessitated a switch to a different rifling dimension, but RSAF Enfield apparently botched the sights, and never quite fixed the accuracy problems they created at close range. The last variant- No . 4 Rifle- had a sight system that actually made the rifle phenomenonally accurate at long range, and upgraded models were converted to the first true sniper rifles in 1942. At close to short range its accuracy lagged most of its contemporaries, and the short carbines were virtually unshootable because of lousy ballistics.

The Lee Enfield has the distinction of the last bolt action rifle used as a primary infantry rifle by a major European army. The British Army did not adopt the FN FAL self loading rifle until 1957, which meant that their units fielded the SMLE in the Korean War, the Malayan Emergency, the Mau-Mau War, and finally in the Suez Campaign. Indian and Pakistani second line forces used the rifle during their 1965 and 1971 wars, and the police and paramilitary forces are still equipped with the weapon (making a heroic stand with police against AK47 armed terrorists in the 2008 Mumbai terror massacre). Various African police forces retain the rifle as well as wilderness rangers and militias.

The T.E. Lawrence rifle is my absolute favorite to use in BF1, as it's the only skin with real history behind it. For anyone interested in Lawrence of Arabia, be sure to watch the 1962 film "Lawrence of Arabia" starring Peter O'Toole. It's a classic movie that is also fairly historically accurate. I'm eager to see what rifles are added in DLC, I really hope the French Lebel and the Russian Mosin-Nagant make an appearance.

I have two No.1Mk.3's a No.4mk1, No.5mk1. Canadian rangers are retiring it in favor of Sako rifles specifically designed for the conditions they're in.

what a good video westie, the smle is one of my favorite rifles to use with the scout class, and the martiny us well :D

Great video, oh btw, the Enfield part of the name doesn't actual come from the factory, it comes from the rifling. Most British rifles before this time used a system of naming where the first part of the name is the weapons action, and the second is the type of rifling. For example the Martini Henry has a Martini style action and a Henry style rifling. The Lee Metford is a Lee bolt action with Metford rifling, or the Snider Enfield rifles have a Snider action and an Enfield rifling.

Great video. I can say it's the most fun bolt-action firearm to shoot with such a great history behind it.

The canadian ranger rifle is being replaced by a Tikka now. And the springfield 1903 is pretty much a mauser copy, so much that they had to paid royalties to mauser.
