Buff Thompson para squad

Suggestions Weapons

M1A1 para is the weapon or BRIII event para squad, and it is basically just a BRII thompson with faster reload and worse recoil
Compare to the squad’s legendary history. The weapon is just not a good gun in BRIII.
Their ammunition supply is limited, only 60*2=120 rounds, which they frequently run out of during combat.

So I have two suggestions: move it to BRII; buff ammo amount to 180.

Some might say TT M1A1 is already a meta gun in BRII, but I personally believe the Thompson family has been overrated.
Despite its 8.2 dmg and high DPS, its projectile velocity is very low, making it difficult to engage moving targets beyond 50m. High recoil and dispersion makes the problem even worse, high missing chance making the time it takes to engage a single target is comparable to other 9mm weapons. In short, I rather use lanchester in BRII.

Low hit rate even amplified the ammo amount shortcomings, 120 rnd for SMG is below avarge (~150 rnd) , and para squad othen got extra mag (like FG42 squad, OG43 squad), I think it’s reasonable to add extra mag for Thompson para too.

  • Add a mag (120 → 180)
  • Move to BRII
  • Change nothing

Was so disappointing when they changed it to only 2. 100 fuel is so tiny and the flamethrowers aren’t even that good.

Honestly all the low tier para squads need at least a small ammo increase, same as the devs did for the higher tier para squads (e.g. Krieghoff and FG42 w/ Grenade Launcher have 100 rounds total vs 60 for TT FG42’s, and Type Hei LMG has 90 rounds total vs 60 for TT Type Hei Automatic).

The only para squads that I don’t think it’d be possible to improve the ammo loads on are the soviet para squads, since they use TT weapons the dev’s won’t be able to do specialized ammo loads unique to their weapons like they could for the other nations para squads, which all have special/“unique” weapons that only those squads use.
