At the moment the mp18 squad wears a basic Normandy uniform which is really boring. I suggest that the Devs give them a unique piece of clothing.
The m1918 stahlhelm (I wouldn’t mind if it was a different variant as long as it retains the "horns’).
This helmet has prongs on the side that poke out like horns, these were used to hold the stirnpanzer. The stirnpanzer is already depicted in game, as it’s used by the German assault engineers (found here: Reinforcements received: Assault engineers)
It wouldn’t be impossible that some left over helmets could still be in circulation in ww2. Bonus points if it has a cool paint job:
The MP 18 squad should be dropped to level one. I own it and it is useless at level two. The only way to make it usable for me was to change the option to carry a second weapon and now the MP 18 is a back up weapon. But I would be ok with uniform replacements.
I haven’t played level three Germans in quite some time, I will have to check the MP18 out again. It certainly was not at level two specs before, but if it has been reworked maybe now.
They should lower it’s recoil since it’s way worse than brand new Chinese Thompson that is for some damn reason a BR2 smg despite being way better than even zk-383 and especially mp 35/l.
it’s recoil is too high try playing with Chinese thompson or pps-42 and then play with M18 and you will see massive difference. Anti-German bias is as always present
To be honest, I would probably only consider using the MP 18 as a level one weapon. I like the M1 Beretta or the Beretta M1918 at level two, use the ZK at level three and either the Kiraly or the StG 44 at level five.
