Some of these guns have been completely divorced from their historical stats, for example the early version of the type 100 smg had a lower rpm. Also now people want the mp40 to be buffed so it will become a bastardised version of itself when the mp40 at one point was considered the norm or even a above average br2 smg.
Without Axis allies balance between SMGs im not making a single step back now its the best time really I agree but first they fix the allies finally since their smgs dominated the lower BRs for a very long time. And for the Type 100 they can reduce its damage and leave it in BR II since its smaller caliber weapon.
They should move the Uragan to BR3 with some love. (dispersion buff)
The M1A1 should also be replaced with a Thompson 20, accurate and fast like the Japanese Thompson. (Not a replacement, of course, we should bring the M1A1 back to BR3 with some buffs, it’s a historically important SMG)
The Type 100 and Type2a should also go to BR3.
Although I personally find the M1A1 to be fairly balanced, it is a very weak weapon at long range due to its dispersion and poor muzzle velocity. But the real problem starts where most of the combat in the US maps is at close range. So if a player uses their brains and doesn’t give away their position at long range, they can easily get in close and massacre the enemy team.
Therefore, this weapon should be enhanced for long range and upgraded to BR3.
Well there is many options they can reduce the damage of type 100 early and put it on BR II since its caliber is smaller. There is many options the Japanese SMGs cant do more damage then US SMGs or same damage also this version can be added there is many other early war Japanese smgs that can be given.
Most of the Japanese smgs need to have their br increased now, so that’s probably going to make low tier Japan quite barren so I think we’re going to need any smgs we can take to fill br1 and br2.
When you ignore all those obviously overperforming SMGs (with exception to type 100 late and pps42/43, all of them are recent addition to BR2). It’s nowhere near comparable to what BR2 SMGs used to be like.
There’s literally no reason to use for example M3A1 grease gun now.
Which was back then pretty fun and solid weapon. Very satisfying weapon to use.
M1A1 is literally of the same concept (high dmg, low velocity), but with extreme rof for its BR.
They totally killed everything about what BR2 used to be. Now it’s just sweatfest with overperforming smgs.
We can give it same damage as PPS-43 and it can be nice BR II smg we dont need to pile BR III with too many SMGs. Or 6.8 if if you wanna make it more unique.
The pps 43 has always been cracked for br2 and people have wanted it to be br3 for a while, the only way I could see smgs like the type 2a and type 100 early being br2 is if they had ppsh41 obrez levels of damage
