then maybe a change to the cone of the sniper can be changed to a smaller amount. @kingsaib0t would like some changes to the cones of weapons. Not sure whether or not this needs to be addressed. I'll let him say what he thinks on this matter.
No i dont get why u think autosnipers need to be more accurate and better in every way than bolt rifles. Unless u meant m24.
M14 isn't exactly.... a sniper, especially terrible for sniping with it's current cone and lack of a scope
hence why it shouldn't be any more accurate than it is now. It's the highest rate of fire gun that can 1-hit kill to the head.
That's why it doesn't need to be more accurate, it fires stupidly fast for a rifle, if the accuracy would be buffed ppl would moan about it.
This is getting off topic from the original purpose of this thread, I apologize for that. Point is, the cone of the bolt action snipers need more accurate. Awp needs a slight damage buff to where it is like the m24 and intervention. If we buff the m14, it would simply be a hk sl8 without a scope. If we nerf the hk sl8, I would have to live through the horror of the hk sl8 being a 2-shot headshot weapon before buff. We would have complaints from both sides if any either these actions were to happen to both the m14 and/or hk sl8. I guess that's the reason why we should just leave these two guns where they are atm, as much as I want the m14 to have better accuracy. Not sure if anyone else played during the times when the hk sl8 when it was a 2-shot headshot to those that had armor. Then again, the hksl8 is unforgiving if you can't land that headshot...
From what I hear, people don't like the hk sl8 because it's too easy to use (I guess this is the "more recoil" requests I have been hearing about). Reducing the fire rate is unnecessary as it's supposed to serve as DMR in people's view (I wouldn't want the hk sl8 to have a fire rate at almost the same rate of the m14 however). Less mag size? the hk sl8 is already unforgiving if you can't land a headshot. Reason I would say this because if you can't kill someone at high health with the hk sl8 and catch on to you with a gun such as a shotgun or ak, chances are you're going to die if you can't land a headshot in that situation.
