Just played today, so long as rallies up, you have to break any tough defence, any HE shells in to soften up defences, even when assaulting. No I don’t mean starter tank, I mean KV1, T34 with preoper HE and concuss the MKB users. Also semi auto on avt 40 is OHK in head, it it is very easy to counter Mkb’s, the trick is to down their swarming squads then pick them off, always build ammo too…
As for other counter to MKB, the PPS42 is very viable option, fully upgraded has range and accuracy, if you don’t want to use rifles.
You must mark enemy armour, if you do that your AT buddies can kill their tanks, if your kv1 or T34 can’t…
I am not a pro, but played a fair bit on this campaign, I love it, I always play Allies on this event to try and stop steamrolls…
PPS was a direct downgrade compared to PPSH in all aspects except for price and a more reliable magazine. That’s the “reason” Soviets started switching to it - low price at the cost of everything except for reliability - and also the reason why it was quickly abandoned in favor of AK after the war. Which was actually an outstanding quality gun with actual strengths other than its price.
I mean it was also lighter, lower rate of fire which was more controllable and also more reliable. The AK47 simply made everything else obsolete due to its intermediate caliber.
Price and ease of manufacture was the main factor of course but I wouldnt call the PPS 43 a downgrade
Lighter = higher recoil => lower rate of fire to compensate for that. I didn’t mention that because these are tradeoffs, not upgrades or downgrades.
I wasn’t the one who started mixing the two together as if they are interchangeable. Also even ingame it isn’t as clear with a 71 round magazine that actually feeds reliably 100% of the time. They keep tweaking recoil on PPSH/PPD, though, so maybe my experience with them is no longer applicable.
Ok i sayed in game they work like high end weapon, historical accuracy is not in darkflow agenda anymore, you have rigth in real life they maybe are shit compared to the ppsh41 but in game the pps is OP
Essentially they have the same weapons as Berlin and Moscow where they have no problem winning against the same weapons. People still cant understand its the players and not the equipment though.
