DLC Steyr SSG M1

[Ember]

This being chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor is pretty lame.
I honestly expected this to have multi caliber options, or at least .308 Win./.338 Lapua Mag.
We have other 6.5 calibers but not other 308/338.

I know plenty of people love the 6.5 Creedmoor and I wouldn't want to see that removed because it's their favorite, just one other option added or something.

The thing should also have a suppressor option but I can see why they wouldn't include that.

the whole thing is a Sniper rifle and weighs 6,3-6,8kg !
No hunter will carry such thing for long.
I dont know why they put it in. It should have be a higher muzzle velocity and energy due t its longer barrel compared to the "Gams" 6.5mm but it has´nt.

At least we should have a heart beat like in cotw which goes faster while running or while aiming some time depending on rifle weight !
In woth there´s nothing of all that :-(

And we definately need the ability to rest rifles on stands, on tables at the range, on fallen trees or leaning on trees. Hunters use nearly everything to rest the rifle when aiming !

Yes! And this would help with the immersion of the game as well.

Bravo, I've been saying this for a few years in COTW, no one cares ... so I'm tired of repeating it over and over again, because just like a "freelook" option it'll probably never come. A reason for this was never given, neither here nor in COTW, both mechanics are extremely obviously missing here

6.5 creedmore is ok, in my opinion. But i dont understand why we get 2 new rifles in the same caliber. And why we became another .270. A.270 Weatherby would be ok but this .270 winchester would not be my choise if i go hunting in afrika. Same as the .243 rifles. A wider spread of calibers and the possibilaty to buy a rifle in different calibers would be nice. Even if you can remove or mounting the scopes on your rifle in the inventar screen or with a hotkey command. Combined Rifle/Shotgun would also be nice!
So on, devs! There is much work to do!
But im glad with the last patch. The ingame graphic is much better than before. The grainy blurry ♥♥♥♥ is gone away now. Thx for this!

Regarding the Steyr bangsticks: In my opinion they should add: CL II and SM12: Halbschaft, Ganzschaft, Goiserer, Semi Weight, Stainless, Lochschaft, Magnum versions, SX-plastic versions, .243 Win., .308 Win., 7mm-08 Rem., 7x64, .270 Win., 30-06 Spr., .25-06 Rem., 6,5x55 SE, 8x57 JS, 9,3x62, 7mm Rem. Mag., .300 Win. Mag., .300 WBY., 8x68 S, .270 WSM, .300 WSM.
SSG 08: .308 Win., .243 Win., .300 Win. Mag., .338 Lap. Mag.. +different barrel lengths.
In short words: all different versions with all different calibers of any gun ...

I also would like to see Kahles and Swarovski scopes+binocculars.

[Warlord829895]

I think the developers didnt get a license to use brands like kahles, svarovski or other high quality optics. In real life i wouldnt go out hunting with these walmart/ home depot binos or scopes that we have in game, but the good thing is, in a computer game you can make a scope for 300 bucks as twice as good than one for 3K bucks.
For my self i use Leica Binos and for the rifles Zeiss, Steiner and Hawke optics and im very satisfied with this! But however, its a game and as a dev you can make a product bad or good and without relation to the real life.

as a real life hunter i shoot off hand more than any other way but to be honest the devs don't have no ideas what and how we do in the field or the stuff we use don't know about you guys but i never wobble or wobble that bad as they have us doing in game also on game it don't matter if you have calm winds your round acts like it fire in high wind nothing in this dlc screams to me buy it

[Warlord829895]

@chief
Youre shure to hold on breath with Lshift while aiming ? And you use the hunter sense with "Q" key that shows you windage and bullet drop?
If not you should try this. All this makes hunting ingame much easyer than in reallife.
