Even with premium Flamethrowers that have higher range i feel a lot of times that i’m short on range and get killed by people or bots so with Flamer I it will be even worse. That smg would be fine with 20mag if it had high dmg per bullet and higher firerate but with current iteration it will be completely underpowered vs tommies. Tunisia Axis has a very underpowered gear so they deserve at least higher mag capacity for their only event squad. I could see using this squad only as the quick way to build rally point, dying and then respawning in actual good squad.

Wait a minute.
According to that sheet,
A) this appears to be the first squad to have 5 loadout options instead of 4;
B) these guys get 6 flamethrowers.
Holy crap.
This is a free squad, how can you even start complaining about it, if you dont want it ignore it.
The OG-43 would be crap even if it had a 30 round magazine, the main thing of this squad is a flamethrower for paratroopers, which is insane but people still just find a way to complain.
Have you thought about not parachuting directly into combat? You know, how they did IRL, behind the enemy lines?
I have never had problems with getting weapons from my crates.
Also this. Tier II ones at that.

I will complain because it’s a squad that be used only as the utility since their main selling point of being able to attack point is highly nerfed, they will have nearly useless smg and super situational flamethrower that is way weaker than my premium squad so i have zero reason to use them at anything but mobile engineers to build spawn beacons that i’ll use to spawn better squad is this that hard to understand? I have never felt like Normany US and Axis paras were this situational it’s the same situation like with Pacific paras you don’t really see anyone using them don’t you? Just because squad is free doesn’t mean it need to be this mediocre.

Let’s not get carried away.
I may have gotten too uselessly emotional in some posts myself.
It’s clear by now that the squad will NOT be “useless”, since flamethrowers are going to be a thing, and if they’ll be the strongest point of the squad they will be used, amen to that.
Still,
Getting back to the original point, having a good default gun is, at the very least, a matter of QoL for para squads.
It’s about not being a waste of tickets even in those unfortunate cases when the crate drops in a bad spot and becomes unreachable for whatever reason.
If the Devs are really adamant about limiting the OG43 to 20 rds mags, so be it.
I’m still trying to make them change their mind, if possible, before the squad goes live.
Otherwise, since ROF and damage are hard stats that can’t be changed, I hope the Devs can make that gun shine in other ways. (Accuracy, recoil, reload time, you name it.)
Just PLEASE, don’t make the flamethrower be the ONLY good part of the Folgore squad.

Then dont, its a damn FREE squad, get that to your head, jesus.
weren’n the AT squads in Moscow free? they were how many times you see’em used? not much the same goes with this squad do you think you gonna get the chance to land and get the flamethrowers easily with the imbalance between player base in this campaign?Haha anyways it would have been fine if they didn’t give allies new toy in Tunisia for the fifth time ( Charlton automatic rifle, SAS squad, basal lmg, 50 round Lanchester and now a para squad) I’m sure this is going to fix the player unbalance in Tunisia and its going to be a great squad.(sarcasm) anyways Im level 31 imma finish the campaign before seeing enemy team spawning 8 para squad and my team struggling to build a single rally like last month except last month instead of para squad it was sherman that was getting spammed

It also uses the same magazine as the Beretta M38s so it can technically use the other ones as well.
I feel like some premium and event squads might be allowed to field weapon types slightly earlier than the rest.
Warthunder tends to do that.
This particular squad looks like a candidate, looking at its loadout. Everything but the flame throwers is decidedly low/medium BR
It would truly be a shame to be automatically a high BR squad on account of flamer (which you dont have to pick)

I doubt it.
By that time, no one will remember them. I already do not encounter Pacific paras very often (which will be definitely at lower BR than this one). Cannot tell about Normandy since I didn’t it play it last few matches.
I definitely think para flamethrowers squads will be at least mid BR, definitely not low. I don’t even think classic flamethrower squads will be low brs, lol.
Btw. It’s funny how so many people were crying about op full auto paras.
Plus I don’t think every event squad needs to be meta. Same goes for German event paras.
You’re right about that, but the pastaboo part of me wants the Folgore squad to be one of those always worth bringing.

I understand that, but I think we’re going to get a lot of Italians squads in future you can choose from. Especially after they’ll add Italian campaigns. (Unless the game dies sooner than that lol).
Hopefully so. In the meantime, I’ll make do with what we have.
Since apparently I have to cope with the fact that I WON’T be getting larger magazines, I’m trying to raise my moral somehow:
For example, at the very least, the OG43 should STILL be better than the M1A1 carabine.

Mmm, maybe I’d better train with small mag SMGs again in the meantime.
I’m gonna have to pull out of the sand old MP28s.
If I get used to shoot stuff with those again, anything else should feel like an improvement later.
(I’d use dear ol’ Schmeisser too, but I don’t think I can transfer that in Tunisia.)

If you’re going to play I could join if you want. I am still kinda scared to play Tunisia Axis solo lol.

You are not alone.
I played some tunis matches yesterday solo, and was kinda a big challenge.
If only axis were a litle more populated on that campaign, would be fine
Like 2 or so months ago, was a good campaign to fight. Higly balanced.
I cri Evritiem I solo queue just to be facing 8 or 10 soldiers alone as axis.
Yep, it could be pretty great campaign.
