Although the Italian Beretta Model 1938 submachine gun was not available in large quantities until 1943, it became very popular for both Axis and Allies troops (who used captured Berettas) during WWII. It had two triggers: one front trigger for semi-auto firing and one rear trigger for full-auto firing. Other notable submachine gun of WWII include the Thompson submachine (aka Tommy gun) and the MP-40, which was used primarily by German forces.

Attacking Strategies[]

  • Submachine Gun has low health; making them vulnerable to defenses. Use Heavy Infantry as meat shields to protect the Submachine Gun.
  • Submachine Gun is cheap and can be used to set off hidden enemy traps.
  • Use Submachine Gun to protect heavy infantry from other infantry so your Heavy Infantry won't get distracted.
  • Since Submachine Gun can deal more damage to foot troops, bringing some along with Heavy Infantry and/or Heavy Cavalry will help deal with pesky defending foot troops!
  • Make sure to keep the Submachine Gun behind your 'meat shields' or away from danger.

Defensive Strategies[]

  • Submachine Gun can be used as good Alliance Troops. One example is that they can shoot over walls to attack troops of the attackers forcing the troops to destroy the wall to kill them. Another thing is that they're good against other Heavy Infantry.

Trivia[]

  • Although they fall under "ranged", their weapons (submachine guns) are made for close combat and are single shot in-game instead of firing like a machine gun.
