Fair enough XD
So I did make you go from hell no to no though? Must have made a compelling argument for a dumb concept.
However, it seems to me like there’s not a lot of reason to use Thompson paras except maybe as a dedicated wiping squad in 1v1s since they’re kinda squishy. I would legitimately like to know if I’m wrong and there’s other better ways to use them.
Well after thinking about it for more than 3 seconds I realized that stormtroopers have both camo and tactical assault, which is what these would become. However they only have 4 men and I don’t recall the DPS curve comparisons for the Thompson vs the StG44. What I do know is that they both have very forgiving DPS curves. While it is difficult to get paratroopers through open flanks undetected, if and when you can get them on those retreat paths it is an absolute slaughter fest. They can wipe practically any unit that is retreating with tactical assault.
They’re still good on CQC oriented maps. I prefer them over the LMGs (but I prefer rangers because of the Pershing) on kholodney ferma. Specifically in the south around all those hedges.
If you’re just looking for less bleed try vetted rangers with Thompson’s. Less DPS but higher RA IIRC. You can walk them up to vet 5 obers with the 34 and win.
