The folgore squad is basically useless at BR4 in game,and that is due to the eqipment gap between this squad and litterally any other squad at BR4 or BR5,and even BR3.lets examine the equimpent it has and how to make it work at BR4,those tiny flamethrowers dont justify the rest of the box being BR2 worthy gear.
assult squad- we get a ZB26 for the germans,a BR3 bren with a very ecessive ROF for the germans,and it is just not good,especially considering the normal MG34 is the same teir,I propose changing this gun to the MG34 patronentrommel so it is on par with BR4 equipment if you are to choose it.
sniper squad- the sniper this squad had,the carcano M91 sniper,is likely the worst sniper in the game due to its 40? Ish RPM and just average other stats except for 1 extra bullet and reload speed,and using this gun at all,even on BR3 is painfull,and it is greatly overestimated to be at BR3.I propose changing the weapon for this loadout to be the sniper G43 to better be equiped to fight BR4 and 5 threats.
mortar squad-this one is fine,the grw 36 can preform okay as a mortar,and we cant use the 80mm mortar since its BR5,and you get an engineer on it
main weapon-having a BR1 smg at BR4 is not okay,this thing is worse than the beretta M28 at BR1,and yet is 3 teirs higher.you cant do anything with such a measly ROF and magazine size,so I suggest giving it the 40 round magazine and increasing its ROF slightly,as it is way too slow to keep up with everything else going on at BR4 and 5.
OG-43 is fine where it is. It is very accurate, has a low recoil. It is a much better weapon than some of the German 5.0 weapons. If you have a problem with 20 rounds in the magazine, you have low accuracy. There is a shooting range in the game, you can learn to shoot.
But after 1943, there were two Italian armies. One was with the allies, the other with Hitler. The OG-43 weapon was used by those who were with Hitler.
Yeah for-fricking-ever ago when I thought Snipers were a good idea and thought SMG’s were trash (so REALLY early gaming)
Thankfully at that point I had it in my Radio Op Squad and not my main Rifleman Squad so my Radio Ops stayed alive and I could hammer objective with artillery repeatedly
It wasn’t that bad. The 6 round internal mag was interesting. Little irritating to reload though. Still, it does the job
when he wanted to attack the Soviet Union
Will be beaten into honeycombs by Fedorov and high-performance submachine guns
When he wanted to attack the United States
The M2 carbine will use the rate of fire to tell him what the value of a general-purpose fully automatic rifle is.
Next, Tom 50 will humiliate him severely with the magazine capacity.
The best part
Everything else is worse than that insignificant flamer gun
18 meters range, 5 seconds battery life and level 3 damage
This lousy weapon is their only recourse
But it’s a pity
This kind of thing that is not a threat in level 3 fields can only appear in level 5 fields.
that’s not exactly true
although this was the standard rule with the outbreak of the war it simply disappeared and you could see magazines of all types
Then why does every other Para squad have larger magazines than 30rounds? The FG42 is a paratrooper rifle and it’s relatively large and has a 20 round mag. Yet it’s 8mm and has a 20rd mag. The OG-43 is a BRI weapon, its damage per minute and low magazine size reduces the ability to be effective against any other para squad in BRV games. The 100rd Thompson squad and Vickers LMG squad are being used in the same games as the Folgore squad. How is that truly acceptable? I’m genuinely trying to understand how it’s okay for that to be the case, especially when the well gun is BR2 and has a magazines larger than 20rd.
This has historical reasons German parachutes were set up to handle less weight and had to drop with only pistols and knives during the early war and wait for their weapon create until FG-42 came along ( a gun that can do all MG/Semi auto / Has 8mm Mauser a full rifle cartilage/controllable like AR) but I don’t know if Italians used the same parachute as Germans I know Hungarians and Japan did but beside historical reason which lets be honest is inferior to balance reasons there shouldn’t be something like this happening so yes it’s not logical to have it at BR 4 either they have to make adjustable crate and change it to BR2 or they have to change the mag size of OG-43
