Anyone miss OHK sniper weapons?

Question

In Battlefield 1, I loved being an aggressive recon carrying the Martini Henry Infantry and one hit killing at certain ranges, much easier to play the objective. In Battlefield V, I feel like it's much harder being an aggressive recon, as a head shot is always required, and sometimes does not seem to register a full OHK and instead does ~89+ damage. It makes it much harder to PTFO, especially in CQC map, scope glint, and current TTK. Don't get me wrong, I love the TTK as it is (DICE plz don't change!), but with TTK as it is, it's much harder for bolt action players to PTFO, and almost always requires switching to a weapon with a higher ROF.

It is harder to PTFO scout, but Sweetspots are a bad idea. I think DICE included SLRs to give the option for aggressive play, abs if you have good aim, you can be rewarded while using a Bolt Action

I do miss OHK single shot rifles, but the Auto 8 and Selbstlader work pretty good for a PTFO scout class

If you hit your shots you can still kill him. It's not an automatic death

In my experience, it's now hit with single bolt action, finish off with pistol, die from someone else nearby. Whereas, before it was OHK, maybe a OHK with nearby enemy, and if not, finish off with pistol. I can easily change class to assault, and get 2-3 players kills nearby, no contest. Even if recon plays it safe medium/long range, with fast TTK, assault still has a very good chance. There's a reason why with most games top players are primarily assault and followed by support.

I don't disagree with how unbalanced assault weapons are compared to the rest of the classes.

Nope sweetspot was cancer for campers that sat on hills doing absolutely nothing worthy for their team

The sweet spot required to be in range, you can't camp on a hill and OHK unless within a certain range.

It allowed you to camp between 15 meters of a range so basically anybody at the average engagement distance of 70 meters could one shot you without needing to adjust for bullet drop, the movement of the enemy, or aiming for the head. You could sit 70 meters away from an objective on a hill and camp there until you ran out of ammo. There’s no skill in that considering even the worst shot could hit anyone that stands still and get an easy ohk since you don’t have to be accurate, you just have to hit them in the body.

The seb is awesome for that medium range ptfo.

The sweet spot was interesting but I think it made the class too easy for the bushwookies and hill humpers. Made playing aggressive more fun for sure but there weren't as many aggressive scouts as ones just taking advantage of the easy OHK. I like where scout is at right now, feels more true to what the class should be. I did like the ability to pistol switch to clean up non OHK which seems to not be the case with this game.
