In our game there is a problem: Germany lacks a competitive submachine gun compared to other factions. The weapons available in the progression tree cannot compete with the equivalent weapons used by opponents.
I suggest considering and possibly introducing the most realistic and historically accurate weapon that could achieve balance.
For Battle Ratings 3, 4, and 5.
I’d like to suggest adding a lesser-known but historically relevant line of submachine guns - the SIG MK series.
Variants (9×19 Parabellum)
SIG MKMS (9×19)
- Rate of fire: 800–900 RPM
- Magazine: 30 or 40 rounds
- Weight: ~3.9 kg
- Operation: simple blowback
SIG MKPS (9×19, compact variant)
- Rate of fire: ~900 RPM
- Magazine: 30 rounds
- Length: 820 mm
Ammunition
These weapons were produced in multiple calibers:
- 9×19 Parabellum
- 7.65×21
- 7.63×25
- 9×25 Mauser
For this proposal, only the 9×19 Parabellum variants are considered, as they best match standard German logistics and existing in-game systems.
Historical Use
- Finland purchased approximately 282 units
- Deliveries took place in 1940
- Weapons saw actual combat use
This confirms that the SIG MK series was not experimental or obscure, but actively used during World War II, including on the Eastern Front.
3 BR SUOMI SMG’S
Suomi KP/-31 (36-round box magazine)
- Magazine: 36 rounds
- Faster reload than drum
- Rate of fire: ~980 RPM (consistent with in-game premium squad)
we have many variations with grips and with Vfd
5 BR SUOMI SMG
Suomi KP/-31 (50-round “Coffin” magazine) 4 BR
- Magazine: 50 rounds
- Balanced between capacity and reload speed
- Rate of fire: ~980 RPM
→ Good candidate for BR IV as a versatile mid-tier SMG.
Suomi KP/-31 (Drum + foregrip / compensator variant)
- Magazine: drum (high capacity)
- Added vertical foregrip and/or muzzle compensator
- Improved recoil control and stability
- Rate of fire: ~980 RPM
→ Strong BR V variant with better handling instead of higher damage.
There are very few historically grounded SMG options left for Germany. Most alternatives come down to field modifications or captured weapons like PPSh, which are not very popular and don’t really fit the faction identity.
At the same time, other factions already have a large variety of SMGs - especially the Soviets, with multiple PPSh variants (phosphate, 100-round, PPSh-45, etc.), and also Thompsons filling similar roles across BR IV.
That’s why focusing on 9×19 Parabellum variants makes the most sense. They align with German logistics and fit naturally into the progression.
By introducing variants with different magazines, foregrips, stocks, or muzzle devices, it’s possible to expand the lineup without adding unrealistic weapons.
This would help properly fill BR III and BR V, while keeping both gameplay and historical authenticity intact.
