So firstly let’s do some simple math.
US DPS
M3: 43.066
M3A1:46.466
Sten: 50.41
Lanchester: 57
German DPS:
MP34(o): 42.75
FNAB43: 38
MP40: 47.5
MP35: 54
ZK 383: 62.7
And also use .45 ACP, Thompson would have an 85 DPS. It’s Op in the current stage but it doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be introduced in the future. That means germans would also have Mkb. 42(W) or Mkb. 42(H) as counter
not at all.
we had the thompson, and you can test it in the american ground.
it feels different and surely better.
saying this, it’s not necessarely powerfull at the point of making useless all the other guns.
and considering that we don’t have all american icon weapons present, i presume it’s for testing of the upcoming tunin campaign.
what i don’t get is, why so much work?
like, normandy is half unpolished, they started to gather feedbacks and information about the british weapons, and now they start with berlin?
anyway, i wouldn’t say that the mkb it’s a counter part. due to how different they are.
but, we’ll see how devs intend to deal with this matter. ( hopefully )
Once again, I bring in experience with Gaijin’s modus operandi from War Thunder:
There, the perceived trend (especially in latest years) is new “wow” content coming in at a faster pace than polishing existing content and gameplay. ($ reasons are to be assumed)
It is also common to see new vehicles branches being introduced with obvious “holes” - missing important / iconic machines - to be filled months later in following major updates. This is most likely intended to extend the hype for said branches over a longer period, thus possibly increasing monetary investment by players.
i could somewhat agree, but watching people unlocking or paying for end tier ( an example ) planes, and get stuff that barely works. i don’t think it’s a pleasent experience.
Indeed it isn’t. Yet, people still does it, so there’s no incentive for the company to change strategy.
(Just to be clear: top tier in War Thunder is an ever revolving mess, where almost every major update brings a new vehicle / weapon / system which either flips the meta or drastically raises the bar, so that previously OP stuff becomes instantly obsolete. The only constant being, you get PUNISHED for unlocking new vehicles, because they are delivered missing essential weapons / upgrades, and you have to unlock them through an obscene grind by essentially going with a rusted knife to a gunfight.)
well, thankfully we don’t have lots of equipment as weapons and squads were only those.
but getting literally broken and not functional equipment. does show how truly they care about.
and not sure how works that well for the company.
i mean, sure, you can lure players from youtubers with best equipment fooling who watch those videos thinking that it’s cool until they get slapped the differences between free to players, and non payers. but still.
it does not work.
just like in ““my”” company, if you put for trial excellent donuts, and than serve huge quantities of pile of shit, we wouldn’t survive past a week.
i know it’s a bit different there. but doesn’t make it any less relevant.
about mkb and thmposon, maybe they are going to be a premium squad. dunno.
I’m curious to see how things will evolve with Enlisted. The thing is, in War Thunder they can pull almost every kind of cash grab stunt with near impunity, because they profit from the lack of a real direct competitor (“World of…” games are a different formula).
While with WWII FPS, that’s not the case.
Yeah, god forbid the US gets a weapon that is better than the German counterpart.
Also, DPS isn’t all that matters and this is a violently simplistic analysis.
Considering how Allied players are always screeching about German equipment, I find this comment ironic! 
DPS is almost entirely meaningless with the way shooting works in this game. And I bet it’s only going to get more meaningless over time, especially if they improve recoil.
We dont have Thompson because they are too busy thinking how they can monetize it for maximum profit. Are you ready having to pay for an exclusive Thompson squad? For the glory of satan ofc
