Flamethrowers for Paratroopers needs a rethink

do you know how awful it is being on fire ?
is just a game over
i dont even bother to remove the flames.

Did you even tried this squad?

I really liked the smg and the flamethrower is pretty trash. The only good thing about is that yiu cant take it 6x.

Your opinions really do not reflect my today’s experiences.

To be fair the weapon itself is as low as an SMG can be in this game.
It’s in this category:
MP-28, Sten, S1-100, PPD-34, Reising and so forth.

But yeah, subjectively, some will for sure rate it higher/like it more than others.

But you’re right, all and all this squad will prolly not be low. I guess it will be a solid mid-BR squad.

I didn’t know these weapons do have 160 rounds from get go

But okay…

Ofcourse, what I mean by low BR is as low as its highest BR weapon available. Which will probably be bound to where the ZB-26 and t1 flamer thrower sit in the scheme of things. (which “might” be mid BR).

Oh, thought you did know that …

Most smg:s usually have about 140-160 rounds.

Nothing gamebreaking if you get 20 rounds more, IMO.
MP-28 - 140
Sten - 160
S1-100 - 160
PPD-34 - 150.

Definitely not lower than Pacific paras.

M1 carbine is jsut terrible weapon in every way. And Japanese is just classic BA with still visually glitching bayonet.

That’s probably the metric they will use. Maybe the class itself will buff paras a bit in the BR-hierarchy as well.

Seems I didn’t use them for a long time. I always thought they do have 3 mags and that’s all, lol.

Thank you xD

No I agree wtih that. Really dislike the Marine Paras on account of their primary. Which makes me wonder If BR will be determined by their primary or what they “can” pickup…since those guys get the BAR…

But i mean they could easily fix the m1 carbines…and I want them to

Do you know how terrible it is to have an objective be rushed by Thompsons with 100 rounds and Vickers in Normandy so I think we can handle some flamethrowers.

Same

is not the same
you have a chance if enemy tries with those guns

a shot can be missed
flames dont

have you heard of this wonderful thing called a molotov?

Those mystical bots in the past everyone was so scared of they still exist except they only exist to kill flame troopers if they’re out in the open so they’re fine.

and how do you think the allies would feel if the Germans fell from the sky with belt fed MG42 with 100 rounds and Condor I think they’ll be crying tears of blood if that were to happen and I personally think bullets are more reliable than a flame thrower.

your hypothetical sounds like a dream for me

with a molotov ? :neutral_face:

vickers shouldnt be in the game as it is.
