The conversation would be more convincing if we could know the win rate during the event.
btw,I don’t know why only Thompson squad can be a hot sell if weapons are balanced.
They just disregarded the entire point just because I said the word “shit” may sound exagerated, I guess, Im just used to those kind of expressions, It is not terrible, but honestly is just a squad with the choice to parachute, I could equip a bunch of riflemans with fg 42’s, as the primary weapon, and karl with granade launcher, and maybe a few engies, and the only thing that the paratrooper squad would have would be the air deployement as an advantage over the rifleman squad, BTW I talk about the reward for axis being shit in comparison to allied one and they end up saying that I said, germany suffers, what the fuck literal brainlets, instead of talking about what I said they went to do mental gymnastics and talk about axis berlin and axis tunisia

win rate is not enough witouth play rate, you cannot get conclusive information from a win rate of only a 100 of the same player lets do say, I would say that you need to compare at least 2k games from different players, If a guy has a 100% win rate with only 10 games, you cannot say that it is op what ever he is using or doing
According to the story, you can see Wastedwoodsman in the desert during a full moon night.
There was two tourist who were hiking in the Mohave Desert in Nevada. Their car broke as they were far away from any road or city. Unfortunately they didn’t have any phone connection. So they decide to go back on foot, but the wind had blown away the track. They were lost.
So they decide to abandon the car and get some help. They have been walking for days without finding civilization. On the 4th night, they hear from a distance something howling. They follow the howl hoping to find animal and maybe some water. Their reserve of water have run out since one day already.
Under the full moon light, they saw him. It was Wastedwoodsman. As one of the hikers took his phone to take a picture, Wastedwoodsman was scared and run away. They chased him until they reach the top of a mountain. But when they finally climb to the top, Wastedwoodsman seems to have disappeared. Hopefully from afar, they could see the light of a city, they weren’t lost anymore.
The people from the city didn’t believe them for on the picture there was only a cactus and some desert rocks. But until today the two hikers still claim: “Wastedwoodsman saved us, he showed us the way”.

The grenade launcher FG 42 is literally the most accurate one in the game. Furthermore, almost everything you said about the German event paratrooper squad can be applied to the Allied one, so what is your point. You could slap a bunch of M2 Carbines on an infantry squad and then give a guy a 1919 and you will be infinitely more effective than the squad you got from the event. Also even if you directly compare the event weapons directly, the Vickers isn’t that much better than the FG 42. As mentioned earlier, the Grenade Launcher FG is the most accurate one in the game, meanwhile the Vickers is one of the most inaccurate guns in the game even before you consider the fucked up recoil, owing to the dispersion stat. The 100 rounds is a funny gimmick, but it’s strapped to a +1000 RPM gun meaning half of it disappears to desync.
Also about this, the Allied paratroopers in Pacific didn’t fix anything because the players didn’t want to play Allies there. Why did you think it would work in this case. The playerbase just doesn’t want to play the Germans right now, and now it’s not because of the equipment as the playerbase started switching a bit before the introduction of the last update. The players just got bored of playing the Germans and started playing the Americans instead. That’s just how the game works and will continue to work until the overhaul the matchmaker.

alright you have a good point there, but still, is not so hard to not do small burst, I just think that having 100 round mags is such a good thing, and to be honest I think the recouls is just like the one of the mg 34 with petronel magazine, is not that bad, also I think the weapon has less dispersion than the mg 34 and honestly I dont think that m2 carabine outperforms Vickers mg
The M2 Carbine is infinitely better than the Vickers, it has no recoil, insanely low dispersion, no movement penalty and a bayonet which is incredibly useful with the addition of charging. It’s ROF is also reasonable, so you don’t get the desync ammo issues, and you can spam it. If you have actually played both guns, you would have seen the M2 Carbine is better in most cases.
I know that the M2 carabine is better in a row state but, maybe it has to do with my play style, that I found 100 rounds to be very hard to be outperformed, a m2 carabine wins a head on against the vickers no doubt, but in the context of going into the objective and cleaning 3 or 4 squads, I think the vickers works better
[TL,DR: Vickers is strong but situational, FG is a great all-rounder]
Having tried both German and British squads, I’d say that the Vickers is great for room cleaning and similar engagements involving numerous enemies at very close range. In those cases, as I stated elsewhere, it’s possibly a close second to a flamethrower in effectiveness.
It can be also effective at mid-long range IF you get blessed by Ares and actually manage to set up a prone, bipoded firing position.
However, in all other cases, I think the FG is generally better.
I’ll leave aside the grenade launcher, because it’s a situational weapon as well.
With ammo capacity being the main limiting factor, I think the most efficient use of the FG is staying semi auto and pretending it’s a G43 on steroids. No need to waste rounds in full auto when one hit will consistently kill or down the target. And at close range, you can quickly 2-tap to be sure.
As a result, in an average mid-range squad vs squad engagement, you’re usually better off with the German squad, since while the damage per shot is comparable, the FG lets you deliver accurate shots in rapid succession on multiple scattered targets way quicker than the Vickers, which in turn will require significantly more effort to adjust aim between each press of the trigger (and waste ammo).
Maybe they are just bored of Normandy after literally years of farming bots.
I guess you are just too late for party. Sides has changed.
Blaming only paras because of it so hilarious.
Go play Berlin if you are in need to farm free wins against bots.

Yuh,that is what I mean.Someone use personal and few battle to show it,it is not accurate.He could play 100 rounds, showing only one win.I like Allied eveything ,cause they have better planes,tanks,guns.Easy to use rockets,indestructible jumbo,high rate of fire and high stability 100 round Thompson.I think that’s why so many people buy the Thompson squad.Nice gun and cool paratroopers in better faction,so just buy it and join ,or play after it been fixed.Make the game more unbalanced and no one plays Axis so Gaijin will know how unfair it is.

I have been using the weapon more and yes, that is true, it has high dmg, high stability, and probably also yes it is better to let it as semi auto, tho I would not mind if they give it a little more ammo any way, or maybe not, the only ladouts I find good with the squad anyway are the at and the mortar one, if you get mortar you can build ammo, and if you are at the squad will likely die soon so it doesnt matter if they die with 2 extra mags, I will correct myself and say that I got used to the krieghoff fg, the weapon is not shit, im just not used to it yet, and also I got a bit upset because I like the vickers mg so much, it fits better to my playstyle

If you can land on a factory roof or other advantageous position, you may consider sniper loadout, even though it’s “just” scoped G43 it boosts your mid-long range effectiveness quite a bit.
I’m not a great fan of the current assault loadout either… aside of the extra medikit, I’d prefer it gave extra FG ammo instead of MGs

Thank you for the great post. I hoping on this progressing system and wait for more inspirations.
Normandy + Tunesia is unplayable in this times.
We are going on Moskau + Pacific.
Normandie OP Paratroopers on Allie side and Tunesia the disaster of equipment.
There is no endgear the most of tunesia you will get on normandy too at lv 8 -25 …
Rocket plane spam and then over 1 year the game feels like Battlefront 2 Star Wars the BOOM BOOM similator. So much explosiv in this game … thats why!
