PPD-34\38 damage should be the same as all other 7.62x25mm guns with same barrel length

The damage difference doesn’t make much of a difference at close range but ive noticed that at 120ish Meters it can take several extra hits to kill compared to the PPD-40 and PPSh-41.

The reason i bring this up is because my Moscow loadout is 3 assault squads, one using the PPD-34\38, another using the PPD-40 and the last using the PPSh-41. While Doing This i Notice that the PPD-34\38 Really cant compete with the PPD-40 and even the PPD-40 struggles to be as useful as the PPSh-41.

I understand you want the top tier stuff to be better than the low tier stuff so i have a solution, a new PPD Submachine gun! The first model PPD-34 it looks slightly different with more vents in the barrel shroud and has the same damage values as the PPD-40 and PPSh-41, and it has the same recoil as the PPD-40 but with a more ammo friendly 800 RPM.

I know it seems like a waste of time but this game has a huge weapon variety that no other game has, except Heros and Generals, but they violated the PPD-40 with a RPM of 500 for the sake of balance so that doesn’t count.

Same goes for the current SMG damage and many rifles are all over the place right now. AVS 36 does 12 but the sniper variant does 13.2. MP40 suppressed does 7.2 but the Erma suppressed does 5.5. Lots of odd inconsistencies recently.

They seem to have just started to ignore the barrel length or even caliber.

Ah yes putting a Scope on a rifle increases Its damage.
The same thing happened in World at War.
I dont believe the same thing happens in real life tho

Sten guns have a 7.7 inch barrel and does max 6.6 damage. Ermas have a 13 inch barrel and do 5.5, both are 9mm! Getting into some CoD level balancing at this point.

they are already doing It since normandy, rember AP for US tanks the Nerf to the HE of the 75mm and the fact that the panther cant pen a jumbo from 50 meters.

Balance must be more important than realism.

It’s a game, not bullet simulator.

Here is the problem:

“MG42 use the same bullet as kar98: the 8mm mauser.
Therefor I suggest we up the damage of MG42 to 22.”

Id like to point out to that the 9mm MP40 has by far less recoil than 8mm mauser even it has bigger caliber.

So while adding little bit more dmg to mg42 they could also decrease the recoil below 9mm.

10vertical recoil, 5 horizontal recoil, 22 damage, 50bullet.
What could go wrong?

Honestly, I dont know but im all in for this.
Also im totally not german main.

Sure, great idea, lets give the M1919 Browning the same damage as the Springfield, there is absolutely nothing that could go wrong there.

How would making the PPD-34\38 have the same damage as the PPD-40 be an issue?

I even suggested that the other PPD-34 be added to the game (the one with more vents in the barrel shroud) to be added using the PPD-40 recoil system with the PPD-34\38 Rate of fire.

Also im from console where Smgs aren’t that good because of the Built in aimbot that the bolt action rifles have.

7.92 mm has a 57mm Case propelling it (7.92x57mm)

9mm only has a 19mm case propelling it (9x19mm)

Im not much of an expert in tank combat so i cant comment on that
