Thompson / mp 40 which side are u on.

[hester prynne]

its more accurate

Thompson does higher damage tough if I am not wrong .

Saw this a while ago

think about this logically...why would the creators of the game make one stronger than the other. thats like garand causing more damage than the k43.

[Arturro]

For me its only different gun model with different sounds...the rest the same, but actually I prefer Thompson

[INDIAN**]

ok thanks u guys for reviving a 2 year old topic and i finally remembered i started this and i still stick to MP40 as my choice

[b0unty]

When I'm on Axis I like Thompson more and when I'm on Allies I like MP40 more.

[Foreigner]

The myth of thompson/mp40 being different is from RtCW, where it actually was different. However, in ET, they're the same guns, just different models and sounds.

[Arturro]

Thompson, or mp40...important to have 30 bullet inside

[McFiro]

Well, I like to defend, so I have to play Axis and therefore using MP40 - and used to :-)

MP40 for the win!

[*ConQuerY*]

Thompson i guess,its more accurate imo :>

Mp40, its more accurate imo, more polygons used to make it shine and Hitler has more hits on youtube than other European headmans, so yeah mp40 is better weapon :>

MP40: less recoil, higher rate of fire, does less damage per bullet

 

Thompson: more recoil, slower rate of fire, more damage per bullet.

 

Overall the 2 weapons are balanced, its really preference and playing to ur strengths..

 

If you want proof, its in the code somewhere, saw it years ago when game was more popular.

da fuq? Difference between the 2?

 

Pretty sure they are exact the same (at least in NQ => official wiki backing me up on that one)

From my personal experience, I feel the mp40 is a bit more accurate, the sound is less annoying, better for accurate long range shooting. The thompson is excellent in those otherwise fairly tight spaces.

[Lightning Count]

In the game there's really no difference. In real life the MP40 is more accurate.
