Battlefield 1942/Vietnam check list
 * Factions: Base games Factions are done. RtR/SWoWWII.
 * Maps: Needs pictures, writing style needs overhaul, use fluxes style of writing and picture taking for reference.
 * Labeling: Use in-game terminology, BFV seems to avoid this and thus is technically complete.
 * Weapons: need pictures of reload, stats are 95% done with a few left. Grenades and explosives will need to be done separately.
 * Gadgets: need stats input + explanation of stats.
 * Vehicles: Not even close.
 * Game mechanics for both Vietnam and BF1942 need fixing.

Thompson
The Thompson is a weapon featured in Battlefield 1942 and is issued to the Medic kit of the United States Army, United States Marine Corps, British Army (replaced with the Sten SMG in the Road to Rome Expansion) and Canadian Army.

The weapon has the highest rate amongst all infantry weapons at 600 rpm, but with a lower damage per shot compared to assault rifles and light machine guns available to the Assault kit. It requires four shots to the body to kill at minimum range, and seven at one hundred meters and beyond. Although the Thompson has low recoil per shot, during sustained firing its high rate of fire can make controlling the weapon difficult, throwing the user's aim up and to the left or right. This, along with high spread deviation with long shots, makes the Thompson a poor choice for long range engagements, at which the gun is only semi-effective even when fired prone and in bursts or single shots. As with other submachine guns, the Thompson is therefore better suited to close quarters engagements, as well as shooting on the move thanks to its weapon type having the lowest max spread deviation.

When comparing the Thompson to the MP 40, MP 18 and Sten, all four weapons have identical spread, damage and recoil patterns, and only differ in reload time and magazine capacity, with the Thompson being slightly slower by 0.5 seconds, and with two less bullets in the magazine. The Thompson surpasses its counterparts in rate of fire, at 600 rpm versus 540 rpm, giving the former a slight edge when up close.

MP40/Sten/MP18
(all same stats excluding SWoWWII STEN make note)

The weapon has a high rate amongst all infantry weapons at 540 rpm, but with a lower damage per shot compared to assault rifles and light machine guns available to the Assault kit. It requires four shots to the body to kill at minimum range, and seven at one hundred meters and beyond. Although the MP 40 has low recoil per shot, during sustained firing its high rate of fire can make controlling the weapon difficult, throwing the user's aim up and to the left or right. This, along with high spread deviation with long shots, makes the Thompson a poor choice for long range engagements, at which the gun is only semi-effective even when fired prone and in bursts or single shots. As with other submachine guns, the Thompson is therefore better suited to close quarters engagements, as well as shooting on the move thanks to its weapon type having the lowest max spread deviation.

When comparing the MP 40 to the allies Thompson, both weapons have identical spread, damage and recoil patterns, and only differ in reload time and magazine capacity, with the MP 40 being slightly faster by 0.5 seconds, and with two more bullets in the magazine. The Thompson however surpasses its counterparts in rate of fire, at 600 rpm versus 540 rpm of the MP 40, giving the Thompson a slight edge when up close. The MP 18, MP 40 and Sten SMG are identical in terms of stats and function.

Sten (SWoWWII)
The Sten has different stats in terms of its velocity, recoil and spread values, with everything else remaining the same. Its velocity is 100 m/s lower than the standard SMG Velocity of 1000 m/s, while having slightly lower vertical recoil. Spread wise, the differences are for Standing, Crouching and proning spread positions having lower deviation alongside the minimum spread being lower. Thus making the Sten more accurate than its counterpart in Road to Rome.
