BTR? you mean PTRD? Yes it is useless - borked as the saying goes.

It’s not just the PTRD.
Even with the 45mm, you’ll usually hit one just for it to turn the breech and turret ring yellow before it detonates you with spray-and-pray.
On occasion, even a PTRD can ammo rack one right away, but more often than not, post-pen damage doesn’t exist against panzers.
I’ve also pumped 3 or 4 PTRD shells into an ammo rack just for it to gradually turn from light yellow to orange and never detonate.

PTRD is a sad and useless weapon and devs did nothing to fix it. Germany has better tanks, planes, SMG, AT rifles,…everything
True
Arguable.
BT-7 is best anti-infantry tank, imo.
PPDs are better at short range than MPs, vice versa at mid range.
Pistols are overall better for Germany, agreed.
MG13 is best MG, but ZB36/Madsen are mostly balanced.
“everything” includes German rifles that deal less damage? Or German AT gun with less powerful HE than the Soviet AT gun? Or the non-existent shotgun or semi automatic rifles for Germany?
But we know all this, so why are we still continuing to talk about this?
As a Russia main, Russia gets better rifles, planes, and non-premium SMGs.
someone just pointed out that the Russian assault squad is wearing NKVD uniforms lmao
NKVD was also all border guard forces, and in a fall of 1941 few divisions was formed with a core of NKVD like a more strong and experienced units.

yes, Soviet Assaulter looks like it’s NKVD uniform lolLike why, devs? Because it looks kinda badass? Mmm, I guess lol
OK, but you got the tones wrong. Main coat wasn’t blue - look, it’s gray/green. Red was toned down, so was blue cap. to a point of being dark shade, almost black.
Doesn’t look too bad to me - https://www.emedals.com/russia-soviet-union-a-nkvd-commissioner-of-state-security-third-class-uniform-c-1940

OK but why NKVD? etc
No idea really - 15 NKVD divisions were ordered raised in the early days of the GPW - AFAIK NKVD supplied 1000 men to each as officers and SNCO’s, the remainder was filled with reservists.
Perhaps their political loyalty and the “Commissar order” were thought to strengthen their resolve over “regular” formations? Most of htem were absorbed into the regular army and renamed in the normal sequence fairly quickly.

For one, probably experience.
Though as well, Dmitriy Loza wrote about embedded propaganda officers who controlled what they were allowed to write about and what they could paint on their tanks.
This was your choice -you want to paint, you paint. If you didn’t want to paint camouflage, you didn’t paint. As far as the inscriptions are concerned, I believe that they had to be approved by the political representative. It was a sort of propaganda, a political statement
