Weapon drop rate

(Posted in the bug section as it must be... right?)

Is the drop rate of weapons being addressed for tommies in the DBP at all? 5 Man squads, vet 3, double weapons and pinata central. It gets quite infuriating after a while when the enemy has more bren guns than you.

Shouldn't weapon drops only be a thing on squad wipes/one man remaining? Having 4 members alive and a dropped weapon just feels stupid and lastly... Why do STG's NEVER drop? I believe its the same for Thompson's and PPsh's right? Why? Shrecks drop, LMG's drop, why don't other upgraded unit weapons drop?

Scoped Enfields Vet 3 bonus removed (this causes Tommies to drop their Bren guns, even though enough models are alive)


Yes, it has been adressed in 1.4

Rather than shit post, acknowledge that UKF out of cover are trash, hence the buff incoming then contribute something else, but that doesnt answer PPSH or tommies doing the same.

Tommies are still decent out of cover, they're only trash when on the move.

Only lmgs, at weapons, and flamers drop. They are significant upgrades to a squad. A single ppsh, g43, or stg is not. In fact, tommies only have this problem because at vet3 they get 2 shiny new scoped lee enfields that don't drop, which count as slot weapons like an stg. So at vet3 they are a 5 man squad carrying 4 weapons, because the slot weapons still count when factoring into the drop rate #lelic

That's why they are pinatas, they will drop weapons after 1-2 model losses.

Don't brens take an incredibly long time to reload out of cover or something like that? IIRC their rifles are very minorly affected by whetrher or not they are in cover though.

It's something like 11 or 12 seconds when out of cover. it's rediculous. But then again so is double LMGs.
