[2020] Manual Bolting - The way Bolt action rifles are supposed to be simulated.

Hi,

while there is a function to delay the bolting by keeping left mouse button pressed it can be very annoying having to do it. Alot of people never learn of this feature and even if they know of it they forget to use it alot.

Most games out there that have a more serious take on Warfare including games like Red Orchestra 2, Rising Storm 2, Post scriptum & Hell Let Loose & ArmA have a Feature called "Manual Bolting" which is a optional feature activated in the game options.

What manual bolting does is holding the autobolting untill you press the left mouse button again. It then loads the next round and the next click after that will then fire the rifle again.

This has multiple upsides:

1. You control when you want to bolt, meaning you can stay on target after a shot and also avoid giving your position away with the bolting sound.
2. After you fired a shot you can reload before you bolted, this means you can reload without loosing a round.
3. It helps to relief your fingers from having to constantly press down a button.

Please vote & discuss.

Cheers!
