Dropping flamethrowers if the guy doesnt flame-crit....

Yummy.

[Katusha]

Where is the thread for this?

Also I disagree the dropping of MP40, M1A1 Thompson, MP44, FG42, G43, Trenchgun, Sten, and Leader type rifles. They just seem trivial.

+1 For flamethrowers

[TheIcelandicManiac]

A stormtrooper squad with 4 tomsons and blitz ability?
yes please.

[Tymathee]

i think g43 is a must to be even with all other sides since their main line infantry upgrades can drop. (lmg, bar, bren)

rifle grenades would be interesting...but close range weapons meh.

[Masacree]

This change would make assault weapons useless.

Please no.

[Rahx]

hell no... this would unbalance the mod and we'll have to wait 121815 years for a decent update

[jackmccrack]

I am with Rahx, as it will be counterproductive to charge a position with assault troops and lose their weapons.

[EIRRMod]

Bear in mind that the drop rates are not ever 100%, and that assault troops / troops with heavy weapons risk dropping them.

This list in not at all a droppable weapon list, as most are not heavy/assault weapons.  Some are, and will be looked at.

[RikiRude]

would the guns have the same problems we see with armor? since WM k98s dont shoot WM soldiers?

either way i think it could be very interesting, it would make any basic infantry a force to be reckoned with if they manage to pick up some good rifles.

Yeah probably.  But thatd be considered a bug, and we'd fix it when (if) we added them being dropable.

[Mister Schmidt]

Blame the way relic made the game for that. Having to go through the target tables for each weapon is a time consuming process, but it's not hard. I'd like to see more droppable weapons implemented.

4-man flamethrower stormtrooper squad...

4 flamethrowers aboard a bren carrier...

[TheVolskinator]

Just a tick of mine from playing BKmod...grab dropped MP40s and maybe a grease gun or two with my Riflemen and trollface the other guy....then they patched the MP40 in BK and i was all like and they were like :3 aand I was like >:| Fuck this im going to EiR.

[PonySlaystation]

Airborne LMG was the only one I saw that is possible to add without completely breaking the game. But then again AB LMGs are one of the weakest and most expensive units in the game. Same thing goes for G43s. If G43s were droppable the price would have to go down a little.

If flamethrowers were droppable then the already weak flamethrowers would be quite useless, same thing goes for all CQB weapons. One Mp40 in a Tommy squad isn't better than a Rifle, they're only useful when you have many of them.

This has been suggested before. It's possible to do ingame but that doesn't mean it would be better that way.

[TheVolskinator]

These weapons would have much lower drop rates then the heavy LMGs and handheld AT; plus its your choice if you want to pick up that spare MP40, you can choose to do so or keep your tommies' rifles for greater effect. I dont think a price reduction would be 'fair', because along with the fact that youd only lose out on the weapons if you let your unit get killed, but its entirely possible to come back later and pick those weapons up on another squad. Flamers would need a drastic weapon-slot-size increase, yes it would be completely imba to have a storm squad with 4 flamers running around roasting shit--however, it would be hard to GET 4 flamers or thompsons or what-have-you in the first place, because the drop rates would be so low. Players might not equip these weapons so there might be no chance to obtain them in the first place!

[TheIcelandicManiac]

You would have raged then when i once got 4 bars in 1 bundle 
that squad raped so much when i ambushed with them that it got 30 kills.

[TheVolskinator]

^Shouldve been on Fals. That ambush bonus is crazy shit with BARs...

[TheIcelandicManiac]

Nah bundles are more badass when you have vet 2 with Battle hardend.
3 bundles for 45 mun 
well you cant spam them as much after they incresed the Vet requerments to 100 for vet 2 but with battle hardent you get walking terminators that can beat Rangers at closer range if you got your enemy by suprise,
