It’s true, but I don’t really play BR II as of now and I don’t like to give those to US squads.

BR III but will try BR V as soon as I can afford to buy all the weapons and upgrade them. LOL
The thompson AC in BR5 is very good!

I hear you, which is why I suggest you support this suggestion of mine:
It would give the US a 9mm SMG option in BR III, by simply changing the stats of the recent Patchett MK I, turning it into the High BR beast it deserves to be, and not a BR I curiosity.
Why should a cold war SMG be amongst the worst SMGs in game, anyway?

Thompsons just like all .45 guns play very differently than other submachine guns.
The low muzzle velocity and high recoil forces Thompson into a CQC centric role but oh boy they shine like a star up close.

I don’t have a problem with any of the Thompsons, however M1A1 does have the worse gun sight of all the BR2 Thompsons in the game. I only use one squad of M1A1 Thompsons and that is in my Universal carrier. I use one squad of BP BSA 1929 Thompsons, one squad of BP Hyde 35’s, one squad of BP silenced Grease guns, one squad of UD M-42’s along with a couple other BP Thompson assaulter squads. All the other Thompsons use a different sight then the M1A1 and are not effected as much by the shooting smoke. The worst Allied gunsight IMOP is the BR1 M3 Grease gun field mod squad. It has a pinhole for a sight and once you start shooting you loose complete sight of anything you were aiming at.
M1A1 Thompson
BSA 1929 Thompson
Chinese Thompson 7.63
USMC M1928 Thompson
Hyde Model 35
UD M-42
Suppressed M3 Grease gun
Field Mod M3 Grease gun (worst allied sight IMOP)
There isn’t anything they can do with the M1A1 sight since it is accurate. I own one and it has this exact sight. I do wish however they would change the M1 Field mod grease gun sight to the suppressed sight. The small hole makes it difficult to shoot and when adding the smoke almost impossible.

I think the Thompsons are great.

You don’t need other smg options when you BARs on BR3, Johnson on BR4 and SF rifles on BR5.

With Allies I really don’t use SMG’s above BR2 as I have four BAR squads in BR3, and use pretty much all rifle squads using T-20’s and M2 Carbines at BR5.
Buy the Chinese Thompson squad its the best lower BR tommy really. High velocity + amazing rate of fire.

Yeah, but here’s the real problem, not every map is up close or some only have objectives that are close quarters and since you can’t pick your maps (not that you have many SMG choices for the Allies above BR III anyways) you have to bring guys who are good at CQC. Granted, I’ll be using more MG’s probably when I level most of my squads up.
I do when I have to level up my Assaulter squad who use SMG’s.
You don’t carry rifles?
My brother in Christ and Szent István, you have a whole squad.

Technically statwise it’s the best gun at that tier, just that velocity sucks so its TTK and aim leading is worsened by a noticable amount
Equip .30 cal if you can get your hands on it and you’ll change your mind
Probably the most realistic look. LOL. But, honestly, the Grease gun is a decent gun. It does get outclassed very quickly and I barely use it, so I had my fair share of fun with it during the Halloween event.

I only use them in my own custom matches since the bots don’t react as fast as people 
. To me, it’s like the FNAB, shoots nice but too slow so you’re constantly being outgunned. However, I will give the Dev’s credit, the Grease guns ROF are pretty accurate. I like the sight on the Suppressed Grease gun the best as the hole is not as small.
