Double LMG is more expensive, but a 6 man, dual LMG squad is very scary at long range. You are almost guaranteed to beat all non-ober infantry in a head on firefight.

The LMG Paras unlock "Suppressive Fire" as an ability.

Thompson upgrade grants your squad 4 thompsons in place of one weapon slot, so you can go thompson + BAR. Thompsons have the highest CQ DPS I think. Especially with the ability "Tactical Advance" which you will unlock.

Tactical advance increases your DPS massively, but makes your squad more vulnerable and slows it down. It is useful when your paras are between the enemy and their retreat, so you can wipe their squads.

It depends on your playstyle. I prefer SMGs over LMGs because i want to get up close and personal, with Riflemen backing them up. But the LMG isn't that bad if you want to use it. You get behind cover and use the Suppressive fire ability and then your riflemen advance. You can also get an LMG squad and an SMG squad and do fire and maneuver tactics. But in 2v2 and 3v3 players tend to blob more, so i would suggest that you use SMGs for CQB. You will appreciate it in case that you have a big blob clash.

No snare


But in certain situations it may work indeed

On top of that paratroopers tend to take massive model losses sometimes because of their bad target size (which they don't get any bonuses to until vet3, and are still relatively bad after that). Luckily, with good usage you can usually inflict way more casualties on the enemy because of their crazy dps with both upgrades and ability to paradrop reinforce. But having at least one rifle squad around to mitigate that and to have at least 1 snare is probably a god idea. Added bonus of 1 rifle + 1 path opening is that both hit the field at prety much the exact same time, which gives you an edge in that first engagement.

The upgrades are expensive but more cost effective than BARs on riflemen IMO. Tommy guns cant be dropped, and m1919s get dropped less since its a 6 man squad and they're fighting at long range.

This is why the lmg upgrade is better in most cases in my opinion (I guess thats why it costs more). The tommys are very strong dps wise but the squad holding them isnt as well-equipped for cqc aside from model-count. 1919s let you be safer and still give good dps.
