Should be the perfect opportunity to buff MP40 - its pretty pathetic compared other BR2 weapons nowadays.
It is not, it is still above average. It is only pathetic against meta smgs that shouldnât be BR2 in the first place.

Can we not add useless skins of guns in the game? If you want to add skins, it shouldnât take the place of actually desired weapons in events and BP and loot box.
Just because most German BR2 SMGs are equally trash doesnt mean its above avarage.
Of course I compare it to BR2 Meta SMGs - you think I should say its wonderful because it is better than Grease Gun?

No, you just want to buff already overpowered weapon type even more. SMGs are already dominating BR2. To the point thereâs no point in playing any other weapon type.
Not to mention all current BR2 meta smgs has no place to be in BR2. As theyâre performance wise more close to BR3 smgs than to most BR2 smgs.
You are pushing totally unnecessary powercreep, crippling usability of all other BR2 SMGs. And further strengthening already obscene smg meta in BR2.
And if you include all event and premium BR2 smgs, MP40 is above average performance wise, thatâs the fact.

So PPS43, Uragan, Thompson up to BR3?
Yes you are right, but something tells me we wont see this happen. Well I guess if we talk about this often enough⌠yeahâŚ

Mp40 is one of the worst smgs at BR2 itâs anything but meta itâs total mediocrity and belongs to BR1 with Sten. However it could be saved with some buffs, shame that Gaijin refuses to make it better.
Was noted by helpers and might be moved to BR3.
Pps-43 buff + BR change was also suggested recently.
I donât remember about Thompson though.

We said for over a year to bring a 20 rounder Thompson to BR2, the real solution is still very obvious.
Also about PPS 43/42, both guns deliberately had low rates of fire because the soviets wanted something comparable to MP40. Both PPS42 and PPS43 shoot too fast.
Both guns should get their rate of fire reduced, so that they can stay in BR2. Remember Soviets dont have many weapons on their TT ⌠and PPSH41 and Uragan at BR3 while PPS42 and PPS 43 at BR2 means Soviets will have 2 SMGs in each of those BRs.

Ehhh mid
Or 50 headshots This is the same bullshit going on with the daily tasks. Before it was kill 4 of somethings kill 6 specific things. Before 5 headshots now up to 15 for a task. Be 20% of your teams x 5 etc etc. At least its something compared to the shitstorm of the last event.

It would be nice if they could add optional unique and creative task now and then for bonus, like win a sword vs sword fight for a bonus 5000 silver (when the melee task is active).
When MajorMcDonalds was streaming, he received plenty of such challenges, though most would be hard to apply. 
Wish to see phases composed of matching tasks, like
- âdestroy 5 vehiclesâ AND âkill xx enemies using planes/tanksâ, so players are encouraged to bring & destroy tanks
- also a pistol kill + melee kill pair would be less painful than the 120 SMG kill and 10 melee
- or rallies used 30x vs. destroy 2 rallies or APCs, though this one might not be nice for the engies
For me itâs often the easiest in such events, I just need to do what I always try to.

I can not imagine NOT using MP-40 on German WW2 submachine gunners regardless of its performance ingame

Wonder where they got the fire rate for that gun . The only source that Ive seen mentioning Uraganâs fire rate is just an estimate and it estimates the fire rate between 500 and 600.

Uragan is one huge âwonder whyâ

Same tbh, though I do allow the MP35 or in one case, the MAS38 with my french weapon equipped APC squad.
ZB is an exception because I dont have a fitting MG for the squad.

I am still iffy on that machine gun. The Gold order ones are the best. The other have a visual blind spot or its not semi automatic.
There was an fitting MG, sadly itâs for western allies.
