This squad is absolutely terrible right now,rigut now you are having a truly BR2 squad fight all the BR5 spam and you cant do anything against it with your way outperformed weapons.lets examine the armament and comapare it to the enemy paratroopers at all ques (allied ones only for smiplicity) .
Main weapon
-starting off with the OG43,this is incredibly disappointing,20 rounds,low damage,slow ROF,all at BR4.
-next the thomson 100,this thing is braindead,simply put,100 rounds of .45 with a high fire rate and pretty good recoil considering,same que as the OG43 and infinitely better
-vickers mk1 no2,100 rounds as well,this time with one shot damage and very high ROF,do i need to say more,same que as OG43 as well
-welgun,has great sights,12 more bullets than the OG43,and the same ROF,while being at BR2
We can see that the main gun is even being beaten by one 2 BRs below,so the box equipment must be amazing,right?wrong.the bix equipment deserves to be at the same BR its gun should be,BR2.
box loadout
-flamethrower loadout,this is the thing holding it back from BR2 or 3,and honesty its performance matches that BR,it has so very little fuel,and has a ridiculously small range,and after that you have to turn to your OG43 at BR5,so your screwed.oh and you only get the fuel of a single flamethrower 1 spread across all 6 members for reference.
-assult loadout,you get the ZB26,and this thing is an uncomfortable to fire bren at BR3 basically,not that good.the thomson 100 squad (and M1a1 carbine) gets the M1919 on the other hand,the most controllable LMG in game,which people underrate because “inadequate ROF”,the vickers squad gets the M1 thomson (to make up for litterally dropping in with the assult loadout,but still a good gun),and the wellgun squad gets the johnson LMG in BR5,also a good gun
-Anti tank loadout,the GrB39 you are given is already a hard to aim piece of trash where its at,and you expect it to deal with tanks 3 BRs higher than it?you get this joke in the AT loadout,compared to everyone else getting M9s at BR5 and piats and M1s at BR2 (they have less pen,but 1000x eaiser to use)
-mortar loadout,not much to say,starting mortars are basically the same between factions
-sniper loadout,why the carcano M91 sniper is this high,only DF knows,its ROF is way too low for being a bolt action sniper at BR3,and now it competes against sniper M1 garands and the sniper SMLE on one squad (which is still better)
So here is my way to make this squad worth using,like these other paratrooper squads I have mentioned,make it BR2 with the current equipment,on BR4 it gets a 40 round magazine for the OG43,assult loadout gets the MG34 patronentrommel,AT loadout gets the raktenpanzerbuche,and sniper squad gets the gewher 43 sniper,and this keeps it at the same BR but gives it the performance it needs to keep up while also giving germany a low teir paratrooper finnaly.there isnt anything wrong in asking for the equipment of a squad at BR4 to be BR4
