Both of these weapons are extremely underpowered for br3, the Thompson especially.
the taped mag barely upgrades the reload speed and for all intents and purposes its just a worse handling m1a1 thompson

makes no sense to me that they are in br 3 currently they should 100% be in br 2

After getting my first Mkb42 and trying the Thompson out, neither are good at BR3. The Mkb fires to slow and with the 15 round magazine there is no reason to use it over the ZK, and it would be serviceable at BR2. The Thompson has more vertical recoil then most of the other Thompsons and really is not very good. If this squad came with interchangeable weapons like IMOP all premium or event squads should, then I would rearm it and probably never use the Para Thompsons, in any BR level.
So, BR2 for both IMOP.

If the mkb gets downtiered, then I demand it gets it’s actual magazine capacity.

No argument from me there. Really, all weapons in this game should come with their real magazine sizes and accurate rate of fire.

Cough cough FNAB 600 rpm…

For the amount of people calling to upgrade the FNAB (me included), you would think that maybe the Dev’s would act on it. The problem I see is too many people want it buffed to the 837 rpm that was listed as it highest rate of fire, when more then likely, 600 - 650 was probably closer to what most were set at. I had been saying, set the base to 600 and the maxed to 690. This would exactly match the ROF of the Soviet PPS-42.
I actually really like the smg’s that shoot in the 600-700 range more then the higher ROF smg’s.

My only issue, and likely the dev’s issue too, is that the Beretta M38 (40 round) is basically the same. And I think that’s the only thing that’s stopping them from raising the rpm.

If the Dev’s had just stuck to one basic principal when they created this game, and that was to make every weapon as ACCURATE as possible to the most commonly used WW2 variant, then there wouldn’t be the constant forum posts for buffing this weapon and de buffing that weapon. All weapons would be what they were, and our only complaints would be to the original weapon manufacturer. 
Of course, we would still get people asking for recoil and dispersion buffs, so, it wouldn’t end them all.

I’m 61 years old with over 30 years of management experience. I would offer my leadership to the Dev’s FOR FREE, if they will just listen to logic.

No, thanks. BR2 already have the most assaulter class weapons of any BR.
If needed, they should be buffed instead.
Not to mention, M1A1 Thompson 30 is not BR2 material.

Literally whats your point? so what if br2 has the most assaulter weapons, the new thompson is absolute ass.
My point is to prevent seal clubbers from powercreeping BR2 content.
They need to give the para Thompson a fast reload for the first reload and double ammo capacity like the other duel magazine weapons in the game.

The thing is, this is much better than the M1A1. Especially this event M1A1, which has a terrible recoil.

Recent rebalance of Japanese smgs is tragedy.
But since their dmg is reduced now, I wouldn’t say they’re clearly better.
Still, all Types 100 smgs should clearly be BR3 as well. In the end, they’re basically identical weapons now. With only minor differences.

Well you know the Japanese mains, they start crying with every touch, and now there are two premium squads, it’s almost impossible to make a change.
And the damage hasn’t decreased much, for comparison, Type 100s damage at medium distance is higher than PPS.
I am happy for them. But I think it is tragedy for the game.
Adjust the MKB mag to its actually capacity of 10 rounds and then it’s perfect for BR2

As a GE main, I personally think that the 15 round MKb (as much I love original type) should never have been implemented, because let’s be honest, it’s a completely useless weapon in any BR. I’ll put it in the collection for its uniqueness and that’s it, because what’s the actual use of it? Who specifically should I give it to? It’s a completely crippled MKb, a meme weapon at most. I’d give it to BR2 riders for the best part, or some pilot - BUT - if there was a a whole squad made of these, maybe then yes. It could see some use
