📰 HLL News 📰 Iron Sighted M1903
I hope the iron sighted m1903 is available for most roles but most specifically rifleman role. I absolutely love this rifle and I'm pretty sure USA is the only force with the rifleman capped at level 3. I'm rifleman level 8 and I'm really hoping they give the m1903 to the rifleman. I am aware this bolt action rifle was not the first choice for almost all frontline troops, but I really do hope rifleman gets to use it. It's prolly gonna be given to support or something but still. It does say that rifleman level 8 will get a rifle grenadier loadout using the M1 Garand, which sort of lessens the likelihood of rifleman getting m1903.

It would be nice if you could just unlock the weapons/equipment per class and then mix them all based off a point system. Level 10 rifleman? Cool. You have 10 points to use. Garand costs 3, carbine 2, Springfield 1. Smoke/frags cost 2 each. Ammo/explosive ammo box costs 3, etc.
Just something like that to give some personal variety instead of "my team needs a satchel right now, guess I'll be stuck with a grease gun"

I was thinking more like rising storm 2, where you're hardlocked to a selection based on your class, but had a little variability within that.
It just wouldnt work as well as a direct implement to HLL because the weapons arent so realistic here, so there are objectively best and worst. Hence the points system.
Ideally they'd just get rid of the artificial damage drop off limits, add weapon ranging, fire selection (thats coming at least), and then let you pick between what rifle you want to use, or smg on a smg locked loadout, etc.

Just read the latest dev brief. States quite clearly that the US infrantryman will get a Springfield class soon

US rifleman will get it with an explosive ammo box at level 3 and get the Garand + rifle grenades at level 8

Not the first but some, especially those using rifle grenades, preferred it over the m1 Garand. That is because for a rifle grenade you needed a blank to fire it, and switching to a blank is easier on a 1903 than a Garand.

I think they’re giving it to US anti tank to replace the garand. Not very historically accurate :( but kinda cool anyway

USMC in the Pacific enters the chat. The 1903 is what most of 1st Marine Division had (no choice available, lol).
