I think the Silenced MP40 squad should move to BR 2 to join the regular MP40 and Sten silenced squad. Yes, the squad is strong compared to premium squads because of its diverse soldier types, but that did not stop the sten silenced squad from getting placed in BR 2. The squad also only has 5 men.
The MP40 Silenced is worse than the regular MP40 in several ways:
Lower damage
6.8 vs 7.0
Higher recoil multiplier
0.4 vs 0.3
Higher recoil
11 vertical and 4 horizontal vs 8 vertical and 3 horizontal
The only advantage is bots are unable to detect you as much.
Data is from the enlisted resource, highly recommend giving it a look if you haven’t already.
Note: I am biased in that I want to use the MP40 silenced in BR 2, but I genuinely think it should be lowered in BR.
On a merely rational standpoint, event mp40(silenced) should be tier 2 if simply because regular mp40 is tier 2.
I believe it’s just an oversight from the devs. Hopefully it gets fixed soon. After all, my Chad gentlemen SAS squad, is also tier 2 with their silenced stens.
Makes sense because normal MP-40 is BR 2, and I think helpers confirmed they would bring them to BR2, yet but I feel like my MP silenced squad is feeling good on BR3, not underpowered at all, with Panzerfaust especially.
Is it? I always thought you could easily swap pfaust for different AT weapon. It isn’t event weapon plus I believe I saw someone with ofenrohr using that squad. So he had gasmaks instead of that ridiculous face mask.
I don’t own the squad. But I don’t think that’s the reason why this squad should be BR3.
