Before the sale ends, i am struggling to decide which premium squad i should buy:
The suomi KP-31 for Stalingrad
The MG-45 for Berlin
Things worth mentioning:
I think you have both Stalingrad and Berlin Axis maxed so its a question of preferences really.
MG45 is a bit weaker than MG42early due to intense recoil caused by high rof.
We don’t know BRs sadly so I would guess that soumi will have br same as ppsh/mp717 and mg45 will have mg42 br, pick your poison.
I would love testing out suomi, don’t have it yet.
As for MG-45, was most surprising squad i got. On paper high fire rate and only 50 ammo in mag, so 1-2s of holding trigger and reload. But in practice it’s better than beltfed DP with 100 but shit accuracy.
It’s not like MG-42 which has reduced in game ROF, 1600 is no joke. Many people prefer lower ROF, i like it big sometimes. Just need some trigged discipline, no need to send 50 bullets at each dude.
If You like MG-42, You may like this even more. In berlin it’s soo good.
Recoil is not that bad, it’s less than MG-34. Just get vertical recoil reduction. Fire in short bursts. Even when stading i have no problem controlling it.
Like i said, most people will se high rate of fire and conclude that they will empty clip in 1 second.
It’s true, but who is forcing them to hold it for so long. I manage to get so much out of it by just tapping fire, it sends 3-6 bullets and feels like kurzgewehr on steroids
Well mg 45 is disappearing. Suomi isnt.
Suomi sale will probably come around again.
Yep, that’s why I would pick MG-45.
Suomi is basically just mp-717 with different sights and slightly different stats (10 rof difference and so iirc)
You can easily put 5 mp717 into non premium squad, but you cant take 5 MGs in non premium squad.
Plus mg45 is superior to mg42 early for one simplz reason, more ammunition. iirc it has 50/250 with big ammo bag. (But it’s true yoi have only one engineer tho)
But it always depends what weapon suits your playstyle more.
Suomi one of the best assaulter premium squads besides the Naval Infantry PPSh and the AS-44 premium squad.
Kiraly is probably better than Suomi due dmg per bullet, but is also way less unique. It’s also disappearing unlike Suomi that will still be there.
The thing is, both squads are very similar to free weapons. So I would say MG45 just because it is disappearing, I personally like the 45 more than the 42.
The KP31 is really good, but it doesn’t do anything the MP717 can’t do. Aside from having 5 guys with them I suppose. So it’s really up to your own preference.
You can easily have 5 guys in assaulter squad with mp717. 4 assaulters and one medic, which in theory should heal them. But it’s quite rare ngl.
Oh I forgot you could do that lol
Or the medic squad even.
I think i will save up my gold, i think the sale is kinda confusing people into buying stuff. I guess i wont buy anything, because then maybe in the future there will be a news premium squad which i might like and then can buy easier. Is that a good idea?
If they don’t disappear and you don’t really need them you should wait for the next sale at least post merge you will have some info about BR of those premiums because right now you are buying premiums with unknown usability post merge. Meta premiums should be fine but what about the rest? Will MM work on low-mid BR squads or will they still be thrown into the fire of high BR sweatfest matches? we will see.
Even if they disappear like Volkssturm and Moroccans beside their skin and French voice lines they are not worth it since they are weaker than f2p squads (their guns have less velocity than basic springfield and kar98k…). Paying almost $20 for p2lose squads just because they look and sound nice is kinda meh. I could always equip them with some other weapons in a secondary slot but it’s annoying to switch every time you want to shoot at enemies. Also they will probably replace their outfits with generic ones like we had in test server so you are paying for nothing but the xp bonus and maybe french lines for the Moroccans.
MG-45 for sure, it has the lowest hipfire dispersion/movement penalty compared to other german MG’s, besides the BAR variants/Lathi.
It has more base ammo, 50/100 instead of 50/50 and it does have -35% movement speed instead of -50% like normal MGs and the squad won’t be available with the merge.
that was what i was going to do but since i saw mg45 are going away i bought it
huh interesting i havent try hip firing at enemy yet gonna try that today
I see it’s yet another magical weapon with artificially boosted “hidden” stats. Somehow I’m not surprised.
MG13 extended has the fastest reload of all axis large mag mgs, BAR still reloads faster but it has 20 mag size instead 75
You need to boost the sales somehow.
Honestly I’m tired with this hiding of stats. It’s so unfair.
STG45(M) hidden stats are that this guns is just crap and pay2lose weapon compared to f2p version. 
really? personally i think every gun is the same the only reason i buy it cause it “feel” unique
