So multiple times i have been in situations where , with my ppd , i have done things that people on the other end can only assume was extreme hacking. Wiped entire/multiple squads with a single drum , snap shots at 1m , clearing entire buildings by myself
So the question is. is it fair?
I dont play axis so i literally dont know anything about their better SMG’s other than its an mp40 of some kind so i assume it has a 30 round mag or something?
Is this good? is this a true return to skill based (see cod1 and 2 multiplayer) gaming. Or a “unbalanced” situation
I like it alot btw

The MPs are great and have much better range than the PPD. Both accuracy and damage over range.

oh is that how it was balanced? more damage per bullet and better accuracy and range?
The ROF is so amazing on the russian guns i cant give it up tbh
Yeah, pretty much. The PPD is CQC king, but the MPs really aren’t far behind it. Both are great in their own ways.

Exactly like @_31420124242011 said - both sides have their advantages when it comes to SMGs. And that balance is (at least in my opinion) in the best place it ever was since CAT. We went form almost unusable PPDs due to the recoil and MPs dealing much higher damage to them finally being good competitors for each other.
PPd is surely terryfing to encounter, especially in CQB, but it’s nothing gamebreaking. There are many ways to deal with them.

okay i just wanted to make sure axis players had a say here because i never play as them and it seems like only rarely do i encounter people who can rek me in close quarters
The german smgs will still kill ppds before they can return fire if you are quicker on the trigger. That’s my experience anyway. And better at range. I have used ppds and am extremely amused by their rate of fire, but I’m a mp40 guy. It gets it done, doesn’t need the rate of fire or drum

ya i have been in situations where its a double knockdown or they get me after i land my first (millisecond) shot
its a good balance
Just like @_31420124242011 @32883447 said
PPD is great for close range while MP-40 is great for medium range. PPD might feel like it’s OP but it really isn’t.
I have to tell you to be cautious when making these posts because devs might take it seriously and nerf the PPD to be as strong as it was in Alpha which will bring back the MP-40 meta and mess the game

germans do not get weapons with larger magazines unlike the russians ( outside mgs ). but on the other hand, russian smgs are not accurate for mid/long range like somewhat the german does.
in my opinion, it’s fair. it just depend how the players behave from certain scenarios and enivorement.
it is truee that soviet smg ““overperform”” due to the “meatgrind” and clustered small maps, but nontheless, both faction are capable of “destroy” the other faction despite their asymetrical weaponary.
but this is what i think based on experience as ex soviet player, and current german player.
the Germans have good mg-13 and mg-34, the USSR has a problem with this. here the balance is asynchronous. well, realism
