@_i4i_

got to laugh at the timing here, now you mention low BR Ussr semi auto

Although everyone is saying its crap. Im still thinking about getting it to plug that gap in the lineup.

I have a Soviet BR 5 lineup made up of event squads lol…havent even needed to buy any weapons for BR 5

Although everyone is saying its crap

Well i wouldn’t own one, and could i of up in QLD , back in the day, could of bought one, for real, but was told they crap, never bought it

Believe, i bought a Swedish Mauser 6.65, or w/e caliber, had to take that back too, just went straight through the Roo’s and they didn’t know they had been hit, and just run off

really? My mate still runs a 6.5 and it destroys?

I use a AIA Jungle Carbine replica chambered in 7.62.

you know why? because those SKS mags you were talking about fit in it

BR 2 low capaicty Semi auto

Man this is from ages ago but anyway

@SzepWaxweiler

There are domestic semi-autos that can be added for BR 2 other than SKS and I dont think if SKS is added to tech tree it will be BR 2 the other ones are

Tokarev 1929 automatic carbine

Tokarev 1929 automatic rifle and tokarev’s other guns

Tokarev 1918 mosin nagant semi-auto conversion both caarbine and rifle

and Tokarev 1910 mosin nagant semi-auto conversion

The first one is select fire the tokarev 1929 carbine

[SzepWaxweiler]

There are these ,too but they will most likely be a event or gold order weapon

@SzepWaxweiler

Rukavishnikov carbine(SKR)

(This one I included in my last soviet suggestion but in that I stated I couldn’t find any info about it now I have found some info about it)
The designer presented the first versions of his SKR (Rukavishnikov self-loading carbine) back in 1944. Two stages of testing showed that the chosen scheme was interesting, but crude - the carbine did not pass tests for trouble-free operation of the automation and survivability of parts.
Again like what happened to Simonov SVS-53, the army suggested modification to gun
and some modifications were made most notably a dust cover .
When tested by fire, the SKR turned out to be almost equivalent to the SKS No. 14 carbine in terms of combat accuracy at a distance of up to 800 meters and was inferior to its fellow SKS No. 13. However, as noted in the report, the results when shooting from the Rukavishnikov carbine could have been affected by weather conditions (frost -20-25 °C, haze), which was not the case when shooting from the SKS.

But when shooting at a practical rate of fire at a distance, the SKR was confidently ahead of everyone, allowing it to fire 40 rounds per minute versus 30-35 for Simonov with a greater accuracy of hits. The testers confidently attributed this advantage to the batch loading used by Rukavishnikov.
(This was from completion to make a carbine for new intermediate cartirage the winner was simonov SKS )

KB-P-290

Made by Dolgushev-Ivanov had 10 round permanent mag
This gun was also part of the completion

@SzepWaxweiler

Rukavishnikov self-loading rifle mod. 1938

an experimental rifle, developed specifically for the 1938 competition for a new self-loading rifle for the Red Army , where it competed with Simonov and Tokarev rifles .

The design of Rukavishnikov’s system had original technical solutions:

• the barrel bore is locked by tilting the bolt to the left;
• striker-type firing mechanism;
• the hammer spring is placed in a tube entering the butt;
• detachable magazine for 10 rounds;
• There is a muzzle brake on the barrel;
• a bracket for an optical sight is mounted on the left side of the receiver;
• the reloading handle is made separately from the bolt and remains motionless when firing;
• the short butt is equipped with a folding shoulder pad and a barrel guard;
• The barrel is covered by an air shroud.

Carbine AKPS-34-41

In 1941 Carbines chambered for a pistol cartridge (pistol carbines) from leading Soviet designers and design teams were tested. Sergei Gavrilovich Simonov developed two automatic carbines as part of the competition. Carbine AKPS-34-41g. used the automatic operation of electric power rollback, with a mainspring compartment. The weapon’s detachable magazine held 10 rounds. The mass of the carbine weighs 2.94 kg, length - 900 mm. ( 7.62x25 TT)

Man I have a lot of Simonov weapons but gonna end the Simonov streak here but lets stay on pistol carbines all of them are chambered for 7.62x25 TT ammo

TKB-270

Nothing special here just Bulkin’s entry for the Pistole carbine competition 10 rounds and the small one is 8 rounds BTW all of these are semi-auto at least no mention of automatic fire in none of them

Side note KB-P-135 was part of this competition for pistol carbine

Mayn Experimental Carbine

Three self-loading carbines of Main’s design with a semi-blowback action were presented for field testing. In the first, the braking of the shutter was carried out according to the Reising scheme, in the other two - by rotating the front part of the shutter relative to the rear part, which was unable to rotate. The carbine magazines were detachable, but could also be loaded from clips. The length of the carbines was 905 mm, weight - from 2.95 to 3.15 kg.
It was fed by 20- and 30-round box magazines.

@SzepWaxweiler

SVS-53

If this gun looks similar it’s because it is. Its grandfather of SKS.
At the end of 1940-beginning of 1941 in the USSR, four samples of self-loading carbines were simultaneously ready for testing:

• Tokarev TKB-65 designs;
• designs of plant No. 74;
• designs of EPB plant No. 314;
• SVS-53 of Simonov
  The SVS-53 carbine passed field tests in October 1940. Based on their results, the test site came to the conclusion that in various operating conditions, the carbine showed unsatisfactory results, had several breakdowns of minor parts, and needed improvement. However, its design was recognized as the most promising, and the test site recommended developing a new model based on the SVS-53 to finally resolve the issues of the design. The improved designs were SKS-31 & 30
  (SVS-53 is chambered for 7.62 mm carriage)

About SKS-30

SKS-30 was just a ten-round version of SKS-31 and was reloaded from under the gun while SKS-31 was reloaded from the top of the gun also SKS-30 had to use a special stripper clip(?)

Also, Simonov had 2 experimental rifle that I couldn’t find more info about it but gonna leave a picture
AKS-36-P41 ( АКС-36-П41) and AKS-M3-44 chambered for 7.62x54R

(AKS-36-P41)

BTW the gun on top of the AKS-M3-44 is named SKS-41(it is SKS-31 apparently soviets used the year of manufacturing for designation while Simonov used 31 I could be wrong TBH )

[Myrm1don]

Sweet list dude. Makes you wonder with that many avaialble, why there isnt one haha

[GasMasters]

@Wieloglow

Current paratroopers are awful

And were only avalible a year ago in some event many current players dont have

[Willcario]

@CaptainSebekel

@Myrm1don

Soviets have been getting a fair go (by comparison) events wise and tech tree (recently) and mostly at same time as germany.(Assault engineers, AT-44 Assaulters, Paratroopers, T-34 100, ). I would argue getting way too much High BR stuff though.

Soviets actually need some low BR stuff, at least a new machine gun and SMG.

Um, the PPS 42 and PPS 43 are very nice SMGs. But I do agree the USSR is severely lacking in the LMG department in BR2, and the 15rnd gold order MG isnt going to help at all, lmfao

[Myrm1don]

@Willcario

Um, the PPS 42 and PPS 43 are very nice SMGs

I was more getting at they are perhaps “too nice” for BR 2. Some less high performance ones would be a good fit here. A huge amount of SMGs got their BR rating lowered because of the gold standard PPS 42/43 set at BR 2. If there was something lesser here, the rest could go back up.

But Its not that important anymore (cos everything moved down) I suppose

[Scav_Sergei]

Is it too much work to add a variety of such weapons ingame? I would enjoy different rifles which might share the same stats as the svt but look very different. I somehow think that the game does not get enough new levels as it used to…

[Scav_Sergei]

May i ask, will there ever be more decals for tanks? Its quite not much, what we have right now. I dont think its too much work, but would still be really satisfying for most of us. In war thunder for example, there is a huge amount of decals, which could be simply added to enlisted.

What do you think?

[CaptainSebekel]

@Willcario

Um, the PPS 42 and PPS 43 are very nice SMGs.

Its not about nice. Its about something else.
Also PPS42/43 are basically the same. Leaving just two actual SU SMGs, the PPS and the PPD34.

[JackofSpaidz]

The number of people that I know who still occasionally play, has dwindled to a handful since the merge. It’s sad to see but is the reality. The deafening silence since the FUBAR Steam launch hasn’t helped either.

[iso_seppo123]

Yeah there are still no simple balkenkreuz/white star/red star symbols

[Adamnpee]

At least Keo said these are planned.

@Keofox

@Veekay45

Cross/star decals and random turret numbers on tanks?

planned

[iso_seppo123]

Good to know. I hope they wont wait years to add them

[Leandrokh]

84 days ago, long planification style.

[Graham_Cracker20]

I cant find these squads in the store. Am I losing my mind? (dont answer that)

[Conscript_Joe]

I’m a bit surprised. There’s lots of talk about the SKS (funny rifle if a bit underperforming), but none about…

• The best allies fighter plane of the game, available again for a short window.

Guys, seriously. The real jewel here isn’t the sks or ppd variant, it’s the Tempest mk.V!

Where are the fly boys?

[XxWARFIGHTERxX]

I own the Tempest, and she is a spicy girl with them 20’s. Ive never seen the PPD variant and bought it immediately lol. Still on the fence about the sks, i wonder how it shoots with full vertical recoil perks.
