Thomspon still not reintroduced, instead replaced by Sten that was never used by American troops in Normandy. This makes no sense to me, but surely there is a reason?

The Thompson was previously in a closed test for Normandy; why was it removed and replaced with the Sten? Normandy with Stens instead of Thompsons is going to feel so strange. I assume it isn’t ready or something, but it looked so polished in the game play from the closed test that it was available in that I don’t understand why it still wouldn’t be ready. Surely it needed to be in-game for the open beta stage right??

You can see it being used in the start of this video, looks perfect to me; can’t understand why it would be excluded from this open beta, even more strange to be replaced by a Sten. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qxesio9-IVU

Well we arent playing the americans you know…

We are playing the allies…
And its not unlockable yet cus they want to test the sten…

So which unit (since they’re all historically named) are anything but American? No canadian, british french etc.

Yeah but on the top it says allies, theyll Probably add thw others later…

They should still test the Thompson. Its actually going to be in the Normandy campaign so I would say that would take priority. We have a ross rifle for some reason but no Thompson of any variant

They tested the thompson, they want to do it with some other guns to… now its the sten turn…

There are many Thompson variants. Not including and testing a single one of those is odd. It’s one of the most iconic weapons of WW2

Nah, the campaign says Americans vs German.

We are specifically playing as the Americans in the Normandy invasion.

They can have both, leaving it out and adding the Sten instead is contradictory to the apparent aim of the game in terms or realism and accuracy which they stated is important to the game. The open beta will bring the most eyes on the game and inevitably more criticism, so why start off the open beta like this? There is a paid season pass, at this point I really do not think testing the sten is a good reason to leave the Thompson out considering the Thompson has already been tested.

It’s not about wanting to use the gun now, it’s about the game being in best state possible for the open beta. Open betas can make or break games. People are worried the game is taking a Pay-to-win route, so this is only making people assume the worst in that it is planned to be added as a premium squad weapon or something.

Maybe they want all campaigns to have the same number of levels? I don’t played the obt so i don’t know how many levels each campaign have. :c

I am fairly sure it will be reintroduced at some point, just like the bazooka and panzerfaust. It took a while for the BAR to come back as well.

IMO panzerfuast should be the panzershreck.

Probably, yes. But I think that one will be used in Berlin.

It would probably be too op but it be neat in berlin that instead of explosive packs you could have panzerfausts, would probably be too op but it would be a neat idea

If you want to try the thompson it’s in the practice area and some other guns we will see soon

How to load it? It have 0/0 ammo, and next to the table there is an ammo supply. What is say:“You have full ammo” :smiley:

You must pick up its magazines, that lie next to it.
