Haha… this is the direct opposite… then your one smg guy gets sniped by some random fg42 or high strength player.
That is terrible, when I am rushing the point, my soldiers are killed by random bullets or artillery. And when I get into the point, I surprisingly find that all my soldiers are killed by sniper or artillery, only one guy is still alive. That is absolutely annoying.
I am not sure whether I should rewrite a brand‑new suggestion thread or keep replying within this existing post.
Fundamentally, what exactly is stopping the Chinese submachine‑gun squad from expanding from 5 to 6 members?
The only real point of difference between this squad and others boils down to one question: would it be overpowered if the demolition man could carry a submachine‑gun?
Looking at premium and event‑only squads released after 2022, their standard setup is mostly four assault troopers armed with SMGs or machine‑guns. Engineers can also equip those same weapons. Then there is one player‑controllable demolition man restricted by rules to semi‑automatic rifles only.
If we count available firepower: squads such as the Colt Monitor, MG‑45 and Fedorov machine‑gun squads are six‑man premium / event squads with five members carrying machine‑guns or submachine‑guns. They even have an extra soldier limited to semi‑automatic rifles on top of that.
From this perspective, the Chinese SMG squad is actually a clear downgrade. It is literally missing one assault trooper; that role has been merged into the demolition man. That is why Gaijin ought to give back that missing fourth assault trooper.
Before calling the American BR 2 SMG squad overpowered, people should also look at the Marine Thompson squad nearby. It also has an engineer with a submachine‑gun and a full six‑man roster.

Fundamentally, this discussion will get closed for necropost.
br3 quick clance not all that much different to what TT offers.
BR4, MG squad. Regardless is it better than TT or not, its still MG squad. So its shit at the end of the day anyway.
Throw it to BR5 for all I care.
Soviets.
BR2 better than much frowned pps.
Just consider the .30‑caliber Thompson at BR 3. When you look at the performance gap between it and the 7.63 mm Thompson, placing the 7.63 mm variant at BR 2 is undoubtedly quite appropriate.
Ah yes, give the most busted PTW squad in the game a buff.
