You're just stuck on the mindset of, 'I need to suppress,' notice how you get more kills when you took it slow and single/double tapped, but then you keep going back to 3-5 shots per guy which is inefficient.
I saw a red back crawl behind my desk and was worried it was going to bite my foot, also there's a house spider which evicted us from the garage so that's great
It’s interesting how divisive the MAS is. I personally love it and while the sights certainly aren’t great I don’t mind them too much. I can totally see why they could be a dealbreaker to some people though
I think my guess would be that the best use of the SKS-45 is for keeping a weapon fully topped up at all times. You have a crapton of spare clips, so reloading whenever you expend 4 or more rounds will always keep you topped up and never left with a magazine with less than 8 rounds available at any given time. In other words, it's good for players who suck at ammo management. You count to 10 shots and you're out, you never have to consider how many rounds are left in a mag you're putting away that may cause problems in the future, and it's a very simple weapon to use in general. However, all if this is null if you're actually good at managing your ammunition, so the Type 56 and AKM are straight upgrades lol.
A big compliment to how this game was made is how almost all the weapons are 100% usable in their own way. There's no filler or things just in there to get you to grind up to something better
I always liked the SKS when I don't manage to grab sniper, I find tbe iron sights very accurate even at 250 meters, also got my furthest unscoped headshot with it at 340 meters 😅
I just reinstalled RS2V today on a newer better laptop after I had a War Thunder related incident on my older slower laptop, but what I found in my stats was that the SKS made up 24% of my ~340 kills (not a lot considering I have a 0.34 KD). God do I miss dying to napalm right off of spawn and shooting suspiciously helmet shaped rocks out of panic.
Autoreload is coo but the intensity of realizing you are dry when your firing pin clicks on an empty chamber when you enter a firefight cannot be understated.
what pc do you have? game look so smooth to me. i own r 5 3400 12 ram, 512 HDD, rx 6500 xt. overall i ger around 50-70 fps on the lowest graphics with no FXAA
SKS is tits. Really makes you think out engagements and encourages hit and run tactics. When I play RPG I use it to get my hands on an M16 which also tricks enemies nearby when you shoot.
I wonder how this game would be if it was balanced like your average COD, like with more health and stuff. Isn't there some custom server that does that?
M1 or M2 carbine on semi with the large mags is great for using the guns as plinkers since they have minimal recoil and lets you spam mouse1 accurately, i pick it a lot more than AK
it's absolute dogshit in this game, and i sometimes still use it for historical purposes as it was the 2nd most common weapon in North Vietnamese hands. the reload animation makes the gun irredeemable, and i ALWAYS wait until its fully done, you know it's finished when the full ammo indicator pops up on your screen. Cheers to another RS2 video
The NLF is my favourite faction because of Mas and Mosin, but the PAVN faction I don't like to play as because they only get AK and SKS, the RP-46 is good though
@@macobuzi yeah I hate how little game progression there is but it’s definitely one of the best pvp multiplayers of all time in my opinion. Better than battlefield 4
It's not the guns fault, it's my fault
nah, the gun is good bro, sure it's just a 10 shot AK, but i always loved this gun in real life, so im biased lol
Slow down your aiming lol
I'm glad someone made this video. My most used weapon is still the mosin
lol

SKS feels fantastic to use.
Until it fucking bugged when the enemies surround you.
"There are a couple of spiders in my room" yup, must be Australia! xD

@Tantwo I'm going to Oz in May, I'm afraid the spiders and snakes and kangaroos are gonna eat me xD .
Didn't expect you to be here but always great to see you :). Any new keyboard reviews planned?
@@crytex6441 Yes, definitely! Next one up is a vintage one, no less! And several major projects later this year too :D .
@@Chyrosran22 Brilliant to hear! Good to see you're still going strong! Trying to work out a connector for an FM Towns II keyboard so wish me luck :)
The death of the resort 24/7 server brings me great pain. That server had regulars and we binged the crap out of it. Had so much fun.
its still up
@@charliehodges1399 last i saw it could only get a few ppl at a time
Alt video title: Tantwo shows off his skill issue for 13 minutes
yeah that's more accurate lol
Honestly the MAS-49 sucks the most to use cause of its sights IMO
yeah the sights are a no go for me too.
The sights are good if the enemy is stationary but are absoulte garbage against a moving target. SKS is a much better rifle imo
Lol it's the best rifle in game, does a lot of damage and it's pretty quiet

@@amphibic_boi if it didn't 1hk it wouldn't make up for the irons imo
cue the SKS internet defence force... even though none of them acknowledge the reload glitch you mention at 1:40
Please never stop these videos. Rising storm has a special place in my heart and you create such amazing content. Please upload more oftennnnn
it's hard because of no servers near me and general burnout from the game

out of the guns the VC get in the early cp, I´d say the SKS is probably the most reliable, even though the reload is truly awful
I love the SKS. I find it incredibly satisfying to use, but it does depend on the map. You gotta slow down your playstyle just a bit.
2:49 certified 'ozzie man talking about his spiders' moment
That soundtrack background musak is gold
I swear everyone in RS 2 is completely blind, almost no one looks around.
I have a suspicion I'm playing with bots
most of them are like sub lvl 10
Shoutout to Asia Gaming community for choosing more than 4 maps
I usually SLAP w the SKS

Man I recognized these people in the kill feed, must be playing on the ONLY Asian server on Earth.
Autoreload is coo but the intensity of realizing you are dry when your firing pin clicks on an empty chamber when you enter a firefight cannot be understated.
I use the sks strictly to inflict the emotional damage of getting got by a sks
i will agree reloading it is frustrating but it is nice to use.
I got pissed when they removed the SKS for RPG for NLF and PAvN early war. The SKS was my favorite semi rifle in the game until they added the Garand.
Rising Storm 2 is such a great game! It hit so hard when it came out. Check out Red Orchestra 2 for even more brutal combat.
Switching to semi auto is like increasing damage of such gun.
Auto is like half the damage of said gun.

Sawed off slug

I only use the SKS to role play as Furiosa from Mad Max;
also, VC's M1 Carbine is great because it masks your shots from southern forces, to an extent
M1 or M2 carbine on semi with the large mags is great for using the guns as plinkers since they have minimal recoil and lets you spam mouse1 accurately, i pick it a lot more than AK
I’d actually use the M1 with 15 rounders just so I could carry more total shots
Do you even live that long in RS2 to need that much ammo?@@olematedougie5561
I like playing with weapons that suck. Especially if I get bored with a game and are not longer feeling like it's a challenging enough.
I was sure this was going to be about the mas
WYDM THE SKS? i love it :3
Using an SKS is like using an AK-47 with 20 bullets less + no auto mode.
Anyone else seen the odd advert from 'you know who' studios about 'you know what'?
what?
@@Tantwo Sorry - Burning Lands - he's still posting videos!
A black widow spider was on your desk?
i love the sks :(
I play this game on a computer with intel i5 2400, gt 730, win10 64 bit and annoyingly direct x9
Playing the sks will make you better/ more accurate with the ak
it's absolute dogshit in this game, and i sometimes still use it for historical purposes as it was the 2nd most common weapon in North Vietnamese hands.
the reload animation makes the gun irredeemable, and i ALWAYS wait until its fully done, you know it's finished when the full ammo indicator pops up on your screen.

hey whats ur gpu and cpu
RTX 4070ti and Ryzen 7 5700x
I should mod the SKS to the Bosnian SKS, 30 round AK mag and Full auto.
The only time an Australian accent doesn't annoy me
FN FAL is awful. Highest AR's accuracy but 20 rounds and weird crosshair
SKS on semi auto is hella fun. Tho the reloading animation thingy you mentioned sucks balls.
SKS is my go to weapon, leave my baby alone D:
Anyway, i rarely live long enough to spend all the 10 rounds in the clip
Don’t like playing as PAVN? The mosin is the best weapon in the game IMO, one shot kill to chest and head at practically any range is so damn good
The NLF is my favourite faction because of Mas and Mosin, but the PAVN faction I don't like to play as because they only get AK and SKS, the RP-46 is good though
I only like Mosin because it's the only spear in the game. I used to impale 6 people in a row with it, they didn't see it coming.
For some reason the mosin felt way better in ro2, in rs2 I have not 1 shot many times
You've just got to slow down and make good shots. The SKS is a great rifle
Quite literally a skill issue.
Sks would be better if the reload was a bit faster imo. MAS and AK do both its roles better
The SKS is good tho
Ya should use the S.K.S like a battle rifle and not an assault rifle like an A.K.
The game is still alive?? nice
Lot of official servers are full consistently
@@belairebullies8896dont play the official ones play the ones with custom maps
@@belairebullies8896 But devs have abandoned the game, no new features and small bugs are still there for years.

M1 carbine > sks
Just get good bro :)
nice video bro
Your playstyle just doesn't work with it, ten rounds is not made for flanking and especially not wildly spamming at their general direction
Too bad the games nearly dead and infested with cheaters, can barely find a descent lobby anymore
Really? What servers? Who are the known cheaters?
mega servers
Mas 49 sucks
