In short, I am all in for NVA scout to get either M1 carbine or Mosin Nagant M44 carbine (if we have one, as I can not remember which variant we have in game) as there alt primary.

Please no bolt action. It's slow and laborious. The bf2 engine wasn't built for slow ass innacurate bolt action gameplay. Sniper rifles are a different story. You're meant to camp with them. Regular bolt actions suffer from the 6 second inaccuracy penalty too. The only game that ever did bolt action gameplay right was CoD2.

Well if its not better, it does the job for me. I prefer it over the AKs on vietnam. For some reason since the last weapons update I can't kill shit with all ak variants unless I empty the mag on them or I semi fire them. It's more of a personal skill issue than anything else I guess.

It's the irons. The hooded front sight draws your eye more to the center of the target. It's why some people swear by the type 56 variants. I personally like the open top AK sights more, because it's better for scanning for side to side targets. The scoped sks shows you just how inaccurate the simonov really is. Same with the scoped AK74. If we had a scoped AKM variant you'd see it's true (in)accuracy potential too. My favorite accurate fire iron sights are the AR-15 type. Most preferably on the M16A4. The tiny front sight post is just perfect. M4 front sight post is just too big. The L85A2 also has good irons. M1 garand/carbine. Dont like them. SMLE also has good irons but it's bolt action. As soon as you move your mouse the gun gets way too inaccurate. Lee-Enfield has good accurate irons too. Worst irons for me are for the FAMAS.
