Garand inaccuracy!

[user1000]

Anyone else noticing the garands are having a very hard time hitting anything?

That's not unique to the Garand - rifles in general are not going to hit anything very often, especially if it's in cover.

While this CMRT thread doesn't cover the Garand, you can see that rifles in general aren't going to be very accurate at range: 

Even in those test conditions, both the German and the Soviet 7.62 rifles averaged about 34 shots for 1 casualty at 120m distance. I don't expect the Garand would be much different (although it should fire quicker). It's also worth factoring troop experience into this, which isn't in the favour of American troops.

Ha ha I used to grumble about the Garand until I started playing as Germans and British. The Garand is a weapon of mass destruction in this game

yeah, just a couple scouts getting the flank on a squad or more that's trying to hide behind some hedgerows likely means all the germans are dead from the semi auto fire.

I used to do 300m Rifle shooting as a sport for quite some time and would say: Hitting a moving target on 100m, under stress and combat conditions is veeeery difficult.
