The problem with balance suggestions like these is the fact someone somewhere will start chanting “x side suffers!” and “don’t buff already OP side!” regardless of it being true or not. Also,
Wasn’t that mainly because of the drum mags? I’ve recently seen a video of a russian guy mag dumping 3 drums and many box mags, around 900 rounds overall. The PPSH had absolutely 0 problems eating right through that ammo without any kind of problems on the gun’s side. One of the drums however didn’t fit properly and the bullets got caught on the front wall of the mag. It was like the cookie monster of bullets.

i do know that ppsh drums didn’t really take too kindly to being used in ppshs that aren’t from the same factories

and the second m1 Thompson should have a 50 round drum mag to
you mean the tommygun, it should be added with the campaign in the pacific
Given the fact you couldn’t be bothered to start this conversation off in a civil manner…anywho.
You should probably understand the Analog in game to the weapon that actually existed before you say that. The M38 shot ‘hot’ 9mm ammo that made it exceptionally accurate for a 9mm Submachine gun. So although yes, its purpose is CQC, it serves very well at taking down troopers from range more effectively than some other weapons.
Perhaps it is, in comparison to the PPSH, but they had different design parameters. And adding Ammo to this gun is not required to use it effectively in Moscow. Its already bad enough that we have basically a Prototype Assault / Battle rifle masquerading as a Sniper Rifle.
Depends on your build. I don’t have secondary weapons for my Assaulters. They use Ammo Packs instead. And I would like to think I do just fine. I can , for the most part engage in CQC effecively. And in turn use it at range to take down those I need to take down. It is a perfectly fine weapon for that.
Again, see the actual design of the gun and how well it did in real life. This game tries to turn it into its own arcade form, and something always gets lost in translation there, but it is an effective gun at range. Probably one of the Best SMG’s out of WW2 that no one really talks about.
Being so stable, accurate, it was multi purpose compared to other weapons.
Maybe perhaps read some more, so you understand why I say what I do, instead of resorting to snide comments , swearing, etc.

M1 and M1A1 can not use drums. The 1921 and 1928s can however. There is already a 1928 drum version modeled already
brits used drum mags in africa as well iirc

Why do you think the M1921/28 says (box) next to it? Drum will be next
i’m pretty sure that they already have reached bad idea with tunisia as a whole and automatics for everyone

Lol yeah going to be a bullet hose in Tunisia
I expect to see the British armed with Ribeyrolles 1918
Actually. No.
Ppd was accurated at “long” range infact the 7.62 tokarev round suits for accurated shooting far better than 9mm round .
It was the ppd gun design that gave it poor controllability, which ppsh fixed rather well sacrificing accuracy.
Theres absolutely no reason why you couldnt compare guns of the game regardless of your irl claims.
because you can not compare them, you also say that the design of the ppd in reality was not good but in the game a ppd makes you headshot at 100m away, which makes it impossible to compare it with its german counterparts because they too have undergone substantial changes for adapt to the game, so I see no way to make an objective comparison especially that at each upgrade level the weapon becomes more and more efficient

I agree with the people who are saying this isn’t a huge balance issue, but I have a suggestion.
If 20 rounds for the gun isn’t a balance issue, there’s no harm in giving it the 30 round stick since that was the most common magazine used.

These guns were capable of adequate accuracy to between 100 and 200m, when fired in semi-auto, and volume of fire makes up for loss of accuracy 100m and closer.
