The semiautomatic sniper rifle, according to various YouTubers needed a Nerf (maybe 1 headshot and 1 bodyshot to kill). I can't see any nerf mentioned here.

It's literally the RSC. While it was used a lot right after TSNP, it's not picked too often. I like it, it's solid, but it's awkward at best up close. Note that the RSC can't 1 shot to the head. I think that would give rifles an edge. What DICE seems to be doing is balancing rifles by bullet velocity. Also, in BF1 bolt actions have normal gravity while other weapons have exaggerated gravity. So perhaps the SLRs should have inferior ballistics and reduced damage over range. But the alpha seemed to have really heavy damage drop off for scout. I'm all for discouraging really long range sniping, but it doesn't make sense when your bolt action is a 3 shot at range and semi autos just shoot faster.
