I was joking making a comparison with pps42(red) it has a red colour but somehow different stats
Same could be done with mp40 white. Something just as meaningless such as 0,1 less recoil or 0,1 second faster reloading time.
Something so tiny it would be unnoticeable but still be there for the meme
…what? That must be personal, because around 40% of the games I’ve played post merge have been BR1, I really enjoy playing low BR, and I’m sure I’m far from the only one. A new BR1 gun would be welcome.
Until that’s going to happen, I have feeling the BR1 is mainly for people who love to spawn 150m from objective. Way too often I am the only who’s building rally points there.
They should have either made this MP 40 a BR one weapon, which would make it special, or, buff the ROF which would also make it a special weapon. MP40’s were capable of a higher ROF, so, this could have been a simple modification to make the weapon far more desirable, far more then just lamely changing the color. Stock white MP40? I’ll pass.
I don’t know who the decision maker is at Gaijin, however I think it must be the same guy who programs the bots.
At this time BR1 is almost the only actually WW2 BR now lol
And it’s indeed quite fun, Soviets BR1 is really fun/OP for early war vibes:
Paras PPD-34
Partisans PPD-34
Assaulters PPD-34
Riflemen (9) with Mosin 38
Hurricane
GAZ AA truck
T-70
BA-11
HT-130
I kind of wish MP-38 was nerfed somehow and lowered to BR1 so that Germans would have their standard issue 1939-1940 SMG at BR1 (and it would stop being completely useless in-game).
I dont think moving MP38 to BR1 is all that difficult to achieve- lowering its rate of fire and giving it more dispersion than MP40 because it is heavier and per enlisted logic then harder to controll = less accurate.
As long as MP38 has close to 500 rpm it would be still fitting for the gun.
BR1 is great fun, been loving the lebel squad, its a nice break from the SMG spam, well until someone begins cycling BR2 smgs, the pps or thompson, equally as bad imo.
Understandable pain, but until there is an actual tutorial that teaches players that certain trucks are actually respawn points, maybe not.
As for me, I have the finnish moisin engi squad I love to use as my first spawn, get a rally down, ammo and maybe a MG then use them up and get a lebel squad.
