Thompsons could greatly benefit from some recoil and visual recoil reduction

Just about all of the Thompsons kind of suck ass and are hardly worth the grind. Almost every single variant even with recoil reduction perks feel horrible to use unless you’re a contrarian who likes poorly implemented weapons. WTF were the devs thinking? Americans have to go against German BR3-BR5 weapons which practically shit on all but the very last two variants you unlock (and they’re not as good as you’d anticipate).

If they must remain shit, at least consider reverting back to using the top of the sight like it was in early Beta if you won’t make these submachine guns viable because the sight picture(s) are also pretty horrible.

for me it’s just visual recoil that should get massively reduce for all guns in this game

PPD-34 gets a brand NEW MODEL and we’re stuck with dollar store iron sight textures on the Thompsons :upside_down_face:

I’d be happy with this as a nice compromise if they won’t reduce the recoil values. Visual recoil in this game is just unnecessarily high with a lot of the guns.

Generally, I have no problem with the actual recoil of any guns in the game.

But the US (and typically only the US) have this terrible issue with over-done visual recoil that SMASHES the sights into your face.

It’s an issue on the m1/m2 carbine, on all the thompsons, and probably others I’m forgetting.

It’s not a problem with the british smgs, the russian smgs, the german smgs, the italian smgs, or even the japanese smgs.
