Rifles are broken !

[Battlecat]

Rifles in this game are very much broken, and they shoot like slings. It's not even close to real rifles but yet we still have limitation on number of Jaegers/Riflemen in LB. They are slightly better than muskets, which is not real at all...

They should do a lot better precision aiming for them, and longer range and then riflemen in a game would have sense because they don't have anything else to fight with, and it is broken.

One word: Balance.

 

[berserkergang]

Seem alright to me. I've topped the leader board using them.

If their guns were more accurate they would be very hard to fight against. And they're pretty good against lone bayonet men in melee

 

[GoldenEagle]

I ****ing hate rifles as they are, don't make them more OP in lb's please...

 

[Niftyeye]

You've not repeatedly hit targets a good way away with a Rifle?



Practice more, Rifles are fine, and the butt can be VERY useful in melee, especially against an opponent who underestimates you ... and most of them do when approaching skirmishers.

Learn how to block, and when you see a skirmisher aiming at you run. Nothing's wrong with em.

 

[jezza93]

I feel like I should teach you the basic tips on how best to shoot, things that ensure near 100% accuracy.

Ahh heck I'll do it. Aim before you present, lining up the reticle on the enemy. Then waiting 3 seconds after presenting before you shoot.

Ordinary line infantery rules do not apply for skirmishers, giving them their advantage. Rifles aren't too shabby, especially not the british ones.

 

[Bennie94v]

The Only problem with skirmishers is the players usually never learn how to defend themselves adequately and get
...because of certain profanity rules i'l go with
"taken advantage of " by infantry and cavalry in melee.

Skirmishers were never historically good at hand-to-hand fighting.  If they couldn't keep the enemy at arm's length, they typically found  themselves being beaten with their own gun.

1. Balance
2. They are still using a solid round lead ball, the ball even though it is being rifled coming out the barrel doesnt make it a Cod gun, its not laser accurate.
You have been watching to much sharpe

You have been watching to much sharpe 

Impossible! 


Yeah, I find rifles a lot more accurate than muskets, they don't need to be improved.

 

[pod455]

Rifles are more accurate than muskets because they are a rifle

 

[taoistlumberjak]

I always thought it was the snappy green uniforms.

 

[SomeRandomTiger]

TBH there is waayyy to much bullet drop on the rifles...

balance

...

Balancing what? That muskets are just as accurate as rifles?

The bullet drop is just stupidly unrealistic atm... It would also make it so that riflemen aren't bloody useless in public and linebattles.

You must be joking.

As a rifleman every second shot or so is a hit, when i shot. Rifles are alot better then muskets.
Muskets=20% precision 80% Luck
Rifles= 90 % precision 10% Luck (Maybe less)
The reason rifles seem so hard to use is you can't zoom, so it is hard to know if a target far away is in the middle of the cursor.
