1)PDM-42 - its weak for 2 br right now
2)PPD-29 - by giving it real 50 rounds mag
3)Fedorov rifle 25 - by giving it real 450-600 rof
4)Giving just one assault PREM to SU at br 2
5)ppd-34 with bayonet also fits good
6)Downtier Thompson M21/28 to br III
7)Bringing ISU-152
8)Bring DSHka to IS-1 '45 also
9)Dadao to a prem sichyans
10)And yeah DPM with a bunker Japanese for 25 rounds at br 2 will be affordably
11)Maybe a new Cuban cossacs event regiment br I with cossack mosin rifles? With an engineer
Alright. I get the frustration of what aboutism argument now. Enjoy.
That’s an idiotic example of incompetence by the team who balances things… if you think it’s such an imbalance then actually suggest to change it but people won’t like that i guarantee you… however it is same situation as sig… it inflicts the same if not more damage to infantry when used correctly and is superior.
I also have type 1 prem and its amazing 50 rounds at br II, I love it
I know you guys may not be happy about m21, but why aint give a bunch of veterans small advantage as well as Pz III N to an axis Stalingrad survivors
Its literally 100+ people who still here from that time and have this Thompsons, you say whatabautism but its quite mirror thing. You know it was two sides in Stalingrad, one get its cake, one as always not.
We get Thompson at brIV, axis get a PPsh with a reduced rof which is quite fun. It also a ONE smg for an axis BRV - a huge advantage to drivers, even some storm troops
But what the Thompson at brIV then Sychuan Thompson at brIII better at most conditions. Just a toy without cause. I want to bring it life
It’s really not dude as the stalingrad thompson is a direct copy from what i’d assume while the stalingrad pz 3 doesn’t have side skirts which basically are a visual thing and doesn’t have the upgraded HEAT which is a big hit against tanks… that IS a difference and quite notable and is simply the reason why… i welcome you to list the stat changes from
stalingrad and US thompson to reflect the pz 3n one.
I wouldn’t bother - it can be to reduced reload time of Thompson if you want it to be 100% equal stats to a BRIII Thompson. Lets just say Soviet boys didn’t get used to a Thompson as well as G.I. boys
List the stat changes from US thompson m21 to Stalingrad one that justifies it of being BR3 please… and only until then we can continue this conversation.
As long as PzIIIN Stl don’t have some shells its reasonable
Well, then

First all Thompsons are high damage SMGs - which should count for something, but all Thompsons also have very slow velocity.
Now we look at the rate of fire, the dispersion recoil and overall accuracy - which is above average for a Thompson, also it has very good iron sights for a Thompson.
Last we check reload speed and capacity.
My personal conclusion:
Since its a 30 rounder Thompson we should compare it to other 30 rounder guns, and in my opinion ZK-383 is overall more accurate at longer ranges, and since we have 30 rounder Thompsons in BR2 nowadays I think it is very hard to argue that it deserves being BR4. Yes its probably the best 30 rounder Thompson in the game, but can it be compared with Drum mag SMGs or Kiraly? No.
Since it is a legacy weapon, it being BR3 wouldn’t hurt the game in my opinion.
So yes Decаrd, I also believe your claim is justified.
