MP40 vs Thompson

[MajesticFatPony]

Which is just dead better?

[NOTHING]

Personally I prefer the MP40 because automatic fire is easier because of the sights, but people say the Thompson is OP.

Thompson, 3hk, 50 more ROF. Better modding capabilities
MP40, 4hk, 50 less ROF than tommy, slightly higher precision, not as good modding capabilities

The Thompson is in real life a monster of weapon.So much that it saw action all over the world. Even China ordered and duplicated them to defend against the Japanese. Up close it is probably the best room sweeper.

They are very close in performance in the game and any fight between a tommygun and an MP40 is decided on who fires first.

not at all triple,the tommy always wins,unless ur mp40 is fully upgraded for damage

if the mp40 fires first it wins. Tales of the Thompson being "OP" are spread by Germans who need one weapon on the allied side to complain about to hide the fact that every weapon they have is better than the allied counterpart. I've fired the Thompson (modded), the BAR (also fully modded), the 42 and the mp40. Those are the only guns i play with or pick up if a German drops them. The 42 is without a doubt the only unreasonable weapon in the whole game. Unmodded it's reasonable but as soon as it's modded it becomes completely unrealistic. You can pulse an open vehicle with it, basically anywhere from 8-12 bullets....everyone in it dies and alot of time the vehicle is on fire. The 42 is a hip firing monster too which to me is the most egregious violation of gun mechanics in this game. Axis players can either lift this thing up to iron sights as quickly as the SMG guys or hip fire an entire room out of their shoes. Try that with the BAR and maybe you progress past the first guy, even with a hip fire badge. More often than not the 2nd guy turns and caps you even though he's eaten a couple 7.62mm bullets himself. I simply don't understand how the devs created such a vast difference in ballistics between 7.62 and 7.92mm. I can understand giving the 42 a range advantage but at a certain distance there is simply no difference between what a round from either one would do to a person. At the very least the BAR needs a dmg buff at close range because right now it only competes with the 42 at distance.

The MP40 is more accurate. Rate of fire is pretty irrelevant because whoever hits the body first with a modded SMG wins. And headshots kill in one shot regardless.

The differences between them overall are fairly minor and exaggerated. And with the apparent nerf to SMG hipfire accuracy it doesnt really feel like either of them is "overpowered" anymore.

I think impressions using full custom of both, Thompson is better. I think For a sub-machine gun, the United States military's advantage.

[wtniko]

I will post again. One-shot eyes first is super fast Thompson.

[Brightstar]

The US guns have more power and GM guns have more range. Not a big difference though. The Wiki page shows all the weapons range and damage.

Why do you call GE (German) 'GM'? GerMans? ..... lol

[TwinkleSteven]

the german one is better at slightly longer range while the tommy is desinged for closer engagements. since when firing the thompson sight shake like crap it is not as good for medium rages compared to the mp40

MP40

[Serious]

I've owned the mp40 for quite a while now. I recently purchased the thompson after so much grinding. I have got to say this changed my opinion about the mp40. It is easier to aim with the mp40, due to its better sights for aiming and better stability, however, once you get used to aiming with the tommy gun, you will, guaranteed, be an absolute beast in the battlefield. Just to add (i know this gun isn't here but since we are discussing smg's), ppsh-41 is ♥♥♥♥. It's bullet spread is insane, and so is its stability, so you'll have a hard time with aiming. So, IMO i think thompson is the most suitable gun for me.

Thompson? huh ....MP40 is the BEST.
