Description
As you might guess, Panzerfusiliers get the MP40/II by purchasing a squad based upgrade. This weapon was made in very limited numbers, so no one has to wonder why we restrict it as well ;).
This unit will use Kar98k rifles as basic weapon, sorry guys, I know you expected them use the MP40 from the start and then get the second clip, but balance tests so far says the current combo works better.
Why not STG44s?
@ubermensche
Because that weapon is reserved for a different squad and the MP40/II is more unique ;).
will it be able to fire for long periods of time ingame without reloading? CoH weapons generally do not make sense as far as clipsizes go.
@Woozle
Yes it will do it.
units with bolt action rifles in original COH reload after 5 shots (brits after 10 because they have lee endfield)
I feel educated
The rifles are the only weapons that make sense as far as clipsizes go. Able can fire their thompsons for hours without reloading.
