Balance changes to PPS 42 and 43

Why would I include that
A soldier on the floor isnt fighting back ?

For your reference, cause that data is also possible to figure out.
Copiuming that 6.7 dmg is better than 6.8 because “53% of the time they insta die instead of going down” is one of the takes of all time. It doesnt matter if you instakill them, because they already killed you by having half the ttk.

TTK is misleading since this is a squad based game, your enemy will just switch to the next soldier.
As for soldiers, they can get up in 2s, infantry III in 1s with medpack usage speed perk

so, whats your source?
was this data mined or did someone spend hundreds hours testing this?

Sorry, but I want to know how legit those numbers are, considering that you did not include any math or explanation.

The calculation for down chance was datamined years ago

yeah, avoid the question than.

I wasnt avoiding anything, I just told you that the formula to calculate the down chance has been around forever.

For a change, try killing this soldier too.

More data comparison charts show just how mediocre the PPS-43 is.

In terms of TTK, the PPS-43 is inferior to most BR2 weapons:

MP35

M38 42

MP40

Lanchester

ovp M1918

M1A1 Thompson

Beretta M1918

7.63 Thompson

UD M42

Owen Mk 1

Owen .45

URAGAN

and even BR1’s

M38A

PPT27

PPD34 (box)

Even without considering TTK, the PPS-43 is not in the top tier in BR2 when it comes to damage per minute.

ovp M1918,

M1A1 Thompson,

Beretta M1918,

7.63 Thompson,

UD M42,

Owen Mk 1,

Owen .45,

URAGAN,

and even BR1’s

PPT27,

PPD34 (box)

are all superior to the PPS-43. Based on its attributes, enhancing the PPS-43 should even be considered.

Even its sights and magazine capacity are not among the best in BR2.

Great topic, very needed changes.

BR2 is in desperate need of healing. Smg powercreep on this BR has gotten completely out of hand.

I have no clue why they added this smg to BR2 instead of BR3.

Soviet BR2 already had 3 smgs in tech tree, meanwhile BR3 still has only one.

And since it was completely fresh smg, they could have tailor its stats perfectly to fit BR3.

So realistically there is no excuse. This decision was nothing but sheer incompetence and lack of any care.
Just a strengthening up BR2 powercreep in order to create pseudo hype for a few days.

Things like this are making me so frustrated.

I stopped using the vercel app, because it shows time to down, instead of time to kill.
To get the accurate picture, you need to double the time you got for the 9mm.
PPS-43 on the otherhand kills in 3-4 shots.

Thats the issue with 9mm SMGs with a fire rate slower than 600 rpm, it takes forever to squad wipe.
