Title says it all. There is no justified reason to have placed the MAS-38 in BR3. The ZK-383, which is a good example of a BR3 weapon, has the same RoF but drastically better stats than the MAS-38. The MAS-38 has the 2nd lowest damage SMG for Germany with no other stats helping it to justify a BR3 placement. The sensible thing to do is place it in BR2 to allow it to be usable.

Are you sure this is reasonable? Its less accurate than ZK, but still has much higher dps that MP40 for example.
This…The MAS-38 is a decent gun, but not at BR3. I would never use it over the ZK-383, but I would use it in BR2. Same with the German MP18 squad, I would never use it as is in BR2, but I would in BR1 where it belongs. I doubt DF does anything with the MP18 squad, but hopefully they will with the MAS-38.
BTW, I have seen some people calling for the Winchester 1866 to be bumped up to BR2, and that I would disagree with since the Allies don’t have a level one semi auto, where you can get the 1918/30 Beretta for the Germans and the Soviets have the KB-P-135. IMOP the M1 carbine should be level one as it is weak in level two (which is why I don’t use it).

no It’s far inferior to MP40…
Crying shame
Well the Winchester does deal 10 dmg tho, which is usually what I would put into the “two hit kill category of guns”, but with BR1 I would actually make an exception - new players dont have 13,5 HP.
Yes yes yes, I know, I never measured with this standard before, but I think Winchester is sitting in a very unique spot and should be balanced with care.

I don’t play level one very often, but I use all assaulter squads in level one, so just finding four riflemen to use the 1866 is a challenge. 
However, I have exactly four engineer’s mixed throughout all six of my squads.
