User blog comment:Gpettiss/T-2 or UMP45?/@comment-1906486-20110901011109

UMP45 has pretty solid power and average SMG recoil, it comes with a forced Itech so you're looking at using it mostly in close ranges. T-2 is pretty solid also with it's high rate of fire, good accuracy and damage also. Problem is higher RoF = higher recoil incline, so unless you plan on holding it down / keeping to CQC it's a problem weapon. Good to use both in mid-range combat, but it varies how you play also.

I own the T-2 perm and would gladly have the UMP45 also, given both have their own balance in various sections. T-2 can use an ACOG/Holoshot or Itech/Reflex scope, so really that's your call on things. Forced scope vs flexible scope, High RoF vs Med RoF and so on.

You'll find each work differently from each other, despite being both SMG class it's varied how you play with both. T-2 is a spray weapon for sure, but it's going to run out of that 35 rounds of ammo quickly. Even with an Ext II attached, it's going to be difficult to match the UMP45 with an Ext II for control + power.
