Even though I mocked Latch for showing a video where his opponent positioned 3 squads on his retreat path, I do fundamentally agree with him overall.
Let’s be real, if those were Shocks, Thompson Paras or even BAR riflemen it would have ended the same.
G43s are great on the move but at least they don’t have the alpha strike capability of Falls/Shocks/Paras/Rangers and they don’t really excel at any range.
Pfusiliers themselves are slightly overtuned, so that muddies the G43 conversation imo.
That only leaves long range squad but let's be real the mp40 is way better for that they out dps g43 till range 14 beyond that even g43's have hard time dealing with brens/bar/m1919's so i don't see the point.
This isn’t 19th century warfare where everyone stands in a line and fires. G43 Storms have elite camo, letting you cherry pick engagements where you have superior cover and the moving accuracy of G43s lets you deal damage to retreating or soft retreating squads which MP40s could not do.
Going purely by DPS is irrelevant which at some point you have to get in your head because it’s not a hard concept.
