The M3 grease guns are a interesting part of the low br weapons of the US TT, but notice some inconsistencies somewhat and each variant kinda plays the same in terms of rate of fire and spread and ect.
M3a1/m3 & supressed
Br2 → br1
410(a1)/380(m3 → 450 rpm (520rpm upgraded)
M3 field mod
470 → 550 rpm

Reason for M3 field mod higher rate of fire
The higher fire rate field mod Grease gun would be nice!
Yeah like it basically a worse version of the M3A1 at least it having a higher rate of fire than both 3 and a1 would impove on its situation
M3a1 isn’t quite Br 1 material, its ok at BR2.
(Edit): m 3 field mod could even be a bit higher than you suggest but if its BR 1 then yeah that’s fine.
As much as I would love a 550 rof Grease gun, I don’t think one was ever produced during WW2. I know their are some innaccurate rate of fire weapons in the game, but I think all the Grease gun variants in the game are fairly accurate. The one thing I would be in favor of is giving the M3 Field mod a bigger gun sight hole as it’s current version is much smaller then the rest of the varients.
The M3 fm is br1 it basically has the same stats as the M3A1 but dispersion which has 60 to the A1s 52 or 54 basically no real difference in my eyes
Could be a cool event option!
Its absolutely horrible at br 2
As a USA main it’s still an ok offering compared with the Owen, the Hyde model 35, and the shotguns BUT I’ll admit it doesn’t stack up to the M1a1 Thompson (seeing as it’s BR2 now) or the Lanchester/ Lanchester 50 or the UD42. What it does have going for it is nice clean sights and it’s very controllable, you can say its bad which is fair considering there are several better, higher rof subguns (at BR2), but I still love the grease gun. The low Rof is very much a big part what it is and what it’s known for. IMO it makes a good secondary where you run a Thompson like the 1928a1 for short range and the m3a1 for mid and “long range”… You are probably right that its not great overall but it has redeeming quality’s it’s better at mid and “long range” than most SMG’s, so it’s not all bad. It really just depends on what you want out of it, I like it when guns have character.
M3 kicks ass even in high Br when neccessary , its perfect for vehycle crews with low weapons stats!
Yes its better than shotguns but thats bc those are also trash but all the other weapons are just way better.
Why on earth would you double gun on assaulters? and both of those smgs have shit velocity and dispersion there isnt a long range arguement
Are you baiting?
Nope can’t say I agree about all the other weapons but shotguns do kinda suck. I still think the m3a1 is better than the Owen because the top load gets in the way and the Hyde model 35 has dispersion so bad it feels like the bullets come out sideways.
You can get used to a wierd sight but not just dogshit stats
that thing should also get the 0.5 dispersion
Problem is I got used to the M3a1 not the Owen, but yeah a bit like the Bren. This is pretty subjective for me because it doesn’t make too much sense IMO for Brits or Americans to use a gun used only by Aussie (in WWII) because the stats are a bit better. It’s cool but I don’t want to equip all my troops with it. In regards to the Hyde yep could do with some slightly better dispersion. BTW I’m not opposed to the field mod getting higher Rof but there should always be a factory version with the low rpm.
No i am not even good at Infantry game play , but with the Grease i kill relativ often even in high Br, the Grease gun is so easy to control even with soldiers who dont have a recoile reduction perk like Tankers and Pilots!
I am serious.
Its so easy to control like this!
The M3 field mod is a MODIFIED grease gun in the video I linked with the time stamp and all state that some guys took a spring from a M1 garand to increase the rate of fire they’re vague how fast but they stated basically “it’s higher but still slow enough to easily to single and two round bursts”
using a br2 weapon in 5 is never necessary. the only exception is having it on tankers or pilots.
I know that
Every gun can kill that doesnt make it any good
It has no recoil but so do all the other smgs its nothing special
