The K98 is easier to use on long range battles, so I guess it will get the most votes.
Nothing tops the G43 in CQC

I prefer K98 because I make more accurate shots with it. If I want to go CQC, I pick an smg. G43 has it's merits but for some strange reason I can't make a good use of them.

k98 is more fun, but it sux when you play against Americans and they just pwn you in close combat with their Garand. Like on Ramelle or Poin du Hoc. If you miss they will just pwn you with more firepower. I don't care if I die by the first shot or the fifth. Dead is dead.

The garand should pwn you at close range  ::)

Garand owns you at all distances, far or close, for me its the best handheld weapon in fh2.

G43 smokes fools at medium and short range.  It's not the best long range weapon only because of the iron sights.  Otherwise its versatility makes it > K98 generally.

I am good with the sights on the G43, and I generally do well when I have it. Plus, I love the semi auto. I feel more at home with it than the M1 at times.

I have to admit, the K98 has the better ironsight.  G43 has the worst ironsight in the whole mod for me.
Same here. I can´t hit a barns door from a 10m distance with the G43 while I can make some good long range shots with the K98k.
K98k for the win!

K98 because

1) It's beautiful
2) Lower rate of fire makes it feel more accurate
3) Harder to use, so I feel more of a sense of accomplishment getting a good kill
4) Requires skill [more so than the G43] to use, It's less spray-and-pray

That being said, I would rather have the G43 in close quarters combat than a K98.

I don't know why you guys have problems with the g43...
I frankly could only very rarely get my hands on it, but when you follow two simple rules you won't have any problems with it.

1. use it like a bolt rifle. aim like a bolt rifle, press the trigger a bit earlier.
2. position, position, position. Mid range, urban setting.

but that could be applied to all semi auto rifles, couldn't it?
I can remember my endless sniping streaks with the G43 on ramelle in the tower.. in the fog distance, beyond the river. they didn't know what hit them, and the SmG guy who tried to kill me up there didn't either.    ;)

G43 to me is the sexiest rifle in the whole game, so for looks it wins. But when push comes to shove, and I gotta get some work done, I'll choose the k98 any day.

I can kill people with a K98, I can't with a G43.

Don't know why that is, it just is.
