Why is reload in Karabiner 98k so much slower?

[꧁ YouTube = Rockboje ꧂]

i take a look.. the reload for K98k is completely different like the Allied Bolt action rifles. much slower and the K98k is taking the weapon down by reloading, so you have after every shoot to aim new

He hit the square root of ♥♥♥♥ all with those shots. The k98 has an inferior action (and rifle overall) when compared to the enfield

K98 was also incredibly sharp, which is part of the reasons a Sniper version was created out of it, was even better than the Semi-Auto G43 Karabiner, thus most of the sniper soldiers Prefered//Used the 98 instead, even if the k-98 was a one-bolt rifle.

we can also talk about G43... so lets collect some facts. Most time the german Radiooperator get the G41 >41 is the year of production from 1941-1943/ G43 from 1943 to 1945 G43 count of production was much higher then G41 =150.000/ G43=450.000
In this Game we play SS thats the German Elite there got the best of the best whats the Wehrmacht have and Allied landing 1944... so, we have SS Soldiers that most of them fighting already couple years on the front and absolute knowing to use his weapons in fight... the Airborne comes with fresh meat most of them that's never saw a real battlefield and used his weapons in real fighting situation...the only realy handycap of german was ... the gasoline was too scarce and the air force was practically no longer available.
But my question was.. why is teh reloading of Karabiner 98k so much different and slower then Enfield... you can look some youtube videos there u see thats reloading most same skill needed. A lot peaple there firing both wepons says thats recoil of Enfield is higher then 98k and most of them are Americans. I understand thats english peaple cant acsept thats 98k was the better one coz a lot of grandfathers died becouse of her. REST in PEACE all peaple who died in the Wars without Churchill his fallowers without Hitler and his Fallowers and without Stalin and his Fallowers

If you are the SS german faction, radioman gets a G43, if you are normal Wehrmacht, the radioman gets the G41.

The different german factions depends on the map layer.

but why is the realoading of 98k so much different and slower? the US soldiers also drinking much faster thats only a little bonus but its can help u in some situations

The US shovel also is faster, but honestly who cares, the Germans have the Sturm which is a true game changer.

Rockboje, are you talking about reloading the weapon or cocking the bolt? Confusing title to the OP.

[꧁ YouTube = Rockboje ꧂]

cocking the bolt
... it's a completely different animation
maybe Motorola right and there did it becouse the germans have over all better weapons setup... thats why iam asking for. STG44 2x LMGs MG34 and MG42 thats both are very well in the game
And PLEASE dont say K98k thats isnt the Karabiner K98k is a Polish copy of Kar 98k or say M 98k (Mauser 98 kurz)

[Motorola]

Germans infact possesses the best overall equipment if put togheter (like the schweres mg 42 and the leichte mg42, which by the way was still used by at least two people...)
Mg 34 also have a better rate of fire and the overall projectile trajectory of most germans machine guns are betttr compared to a bren or a vickers/lewis.

think the devs are giving the allies some small advantages here ans there just to even the fields, afterall it is stil la videogame.

The enfield has a number of features that meant you could work the bolt faster.

The video you show, the guy isn't aiming, and to work the bolt on a K98 you must move your head or the bolt will hit your face. The enfield you don't, and while working the bolt you can maintain sight picture. So you can work the bolt faster, without loosing sight picture. 2 advantages over the K98.

The video you posted, the guys head moves back and slightly up ;-)
In a Lee Enfieild, the bolt goes back the length of the magazine, which is just a tiny bit longer than the ammunition.
In a front locking bolt action (like the K98) the bolt needs to come back, both the length of the magazine and the length of the locking lugs for them to clear the magazine. That extra distance means when your looking down the sights, you have to move. And as pointed out in the video aswell, when the bolt is lifted, with a K98 it's blocking the sights. WIth an enfield, you can maintain sight picture.

Also, your assertion that lee enfield actions arn't accurate is flat out wrong.
In the UK for 40 years after the war, target shooting competiotions were routinely won by rifles with no4 actions. And that's much the same story with most commonwealth countries.

Video below has more information about the 'myths' of lee enfields accuracy 'issues' if you care to watch.
