Is the MP40 and Thomson based on original fire-rates and fire-spreads or are they now balanced? And if not, can this be done? https://enemyterritorytips.wordpress.com/2008/11/20/mastering-weapon-spread-to-increase-your-accuracy/ Your weapon choice: the MP40 (Axis) seems to have slightly less spread than the Thomson (Allies) Spread: MP40 vs. Thomson Ifurita from planetwolfenstein did an analysissome years ago in RTCW on how many rounds a weapon is able to fire per second. He found out that the MP40 has a slightly higher firering rate than the Thomson (~ 6 vs. 5 rounds per second). You should now probably expect compensating the Axis advantage by having more spread. On the contrary: from the screenshots he made you can conclude that the MP 40 also has slightly less spread when fired in small bursts from 3 to 5 rounds. Of course all on the condition that the analysis is a.) correct and b.) also applies on Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory.
