But this squad is not getting top of the line weapons at all.
Its only possible power spike is the flamethrower, which by the way
We can therefore assume it will be unable to spam continuous fire, a lesser threat than the larger models we use to know.
Otherwise, the squad’s main gun is currently bound to be basically a WORSE version of the FNAB, and nobody can seriously tell that the FNAB is a top tier gun with a straight face.
The point of this thread is not to increase the maximum power of the Folgore squad, but rather to raise a bit its MINIMUM power.
you might think that but consider that there are 50 round drum mag Thompson in Tunisia this thing has to go against those as well as Welgun and again it might be balanced against Welgun but not against other Thompsons with better fire rate and bigger mag its just sad to see devs trying to balance things symmetrically but forget that there are other stuff, 30 round is a reasonable mag size ,just cause you put flamethrowers inside supply box doesn’t mean they are OP or balanced maybe in close testing but not in a public match as it stands now the weapon itself is merely an upgrade on mp28 with only 20 more rpm and worse than beretta M1
why would half the magazine and basically identical stats of the FNAB-43(not to mention the sights on the Og-43 after almost impossible to aim with),the second worst gun in the game make it an “amazing weapon”? another example of the allies getting better paras for spraying and praying,the only real use for paratroopers
yeah,they have the belt fed DP and the RD-44 for the soviets in berlin,but oh no,it’s impossible to just make a belt fed mg34 to try to at least rival these high capacity spam weapons
Bruh, I like the MAB38 A with 40rnd, but saying it can compete with PPD 40/PPSH41 is just outright a lie, and now with 20rnd and 100 less rpm is just make it another MP38 with 20rnd, one of the worst SMG of the game
21 rds. TeChNiCaLlY, still > 20. Higher damage per shot.
As far as I remember, Allies’ only 20 rds SMGs in game (excluding golden/premium guns I may not be aware of) are the Reising, the event M1928 .30, and the 20rds Thompson of the US preorder premium squad.
All of them deal significantly better DPS than a 9mm. And in fact, those are balanced in Pacific campaign by facing Japanese counterparts that have less firepower BUT significantly larger magazines (30 to 50 rds).
I really don’t like being the guy who goes nitpicking about numbers and stats, nor calling “Italy suffers”, but honestly I can’t relate in any way to your opinion about the OG-43 going to be “amazing” in its current form, when all clues seem to suggest the opposite.
And please quit the “but flamethrower” argument. If that flamethrower is really the gimmick this squad revolves around, with the rest of the equipment being forcibly crappy to balance it out, then scrap it out FFS. I’d rather have a good para squad with no flamethrower and better guns off the bat.
As a player who owns almost every single event squad so far, who LOVES some of them to the point of always having them in my lineups, and as an Italian player as well, I want the Folgore squad to be one of those who are always worth bringing, and not doomed to be a meme squad with a one-trick gimmick of dubious value.
