Is the thompson greater than the mp40 now or is it just me?

It seems to me the thompson brings people down alot faster than the mp40 does all of a sudden. The thompson was always more powerful, but with the lower rate of fire they were almost the same.

I find myself wanting to pick up those thompsons now where before I liked to stick with my mp40.

I think that the rate of fire (and sounds!) for both the thompson and MP40 should go back to the Wolfy settings - much rather prefered them.

If you believe iffurtas weapon damage page, they are equal. They seem that way to me. In wolf the mp40 was quite a bit better if you were any good at headshoting.

The ET Thompson and MP40 are IDENTICAL.

I say again, IDENTICAL.

Same rate of fire, same mag capacity, same damage.

The RtCW SMG’s used to be full-auto sniper guns that somehow managed to throw pistol ammunition across the entire map. Now they’re not.

Try crouching or going prone: accuracy is wayyyybetter :moo:

Wtf, which idiot thought of making them identical? That’s the most retarded thing I have heard. I still doubt it.

I want the source code damnit, I don’t trust people, I trust source.

It makes sense that the thompson and mp40 are now equal due to the fact that you can only have the mp40 as an axis or a thompson when the allies.

On classic wolf the mp40 caused less damage and had a faster fire rate, where as the thompson did more damage but had a slower fire rate. This didnt matter on classic wolf as either side could choose the weapon they preferred.

In REAL LIFE they are very different:

The Maschinenpistole MP-40 has a ~500 rounds per minute maximum fire rate and effective range of 100 meters.

The Thompson (Tommy Gun) M1 .45ACP submachinegun has a ~700 rounds per minute max. fire rate and effective range of 50 meters.

My 2 cents

The game isn’t about realism.

The game chaps is RTCW: ET - why not bring back everything RTCW and then just add the big additions of ET into it.

I seem to kill more people when I use MP40 but I like the Thompson :smiley:
