Most powerful SMG: The PPS-43 stands out with impressive accuracy, manageable recoil, and an insane rate of fire. Unlike other BRs, which only offer the OVP-Beretta (slightly easier to use than the PPSh-obrez), the PPS-43 provides a significant advantage.
Most powerful rifle: The Winchester boasts 100% recoil control, high damage, and a high rate of fire. It can one-shot through both vitality perks without a knock-down, making it a formidable weapon.
Most powerful SA-rifle: The Fedorov delivers BR4 damage and has a lightning-fast reload.
BR III:
Most powerful SMG: The PPSh-41 offers insane accuracy and rate of fire with low recoil.
Most powerful SA-rifle: The SVT-38 is unique due to its magazine reload feature. I have a detailed discussion on BR3 rifles on the .ru forum.
The RU server has a significant issue: a lack of German players. When you select the “check mark,” you are invariably assigned to play as either Germans or Japanese. This often results in unbalanced matches, where a full BR2 German team faces at least a 50/50 mix of BR2 and BR3 Soviet players. The Soviets frequently deploy their KV-1 tanks, which are virtually impervious to destruction by conventional infantry anti-tank weapons like GRB or packs.
BRV:
Most powerful assault rifle: The Fedorov is a one-shot wonder.
Most powerful light machinegun: The RD-44 is incredibly fast, has excellent recoil control, and is accurate. I also have a topic on light machineguns on the .ru forum.
They have body armor that reduces any torso damage from any angle, and it’s easily purchasable for any soldier. This is essentially a cheat that severely impacts the TTK of any German weapon.
What are they missing?
P.S. I hope BRIV will be separated from BRV. BRIII and BRIV are better balanced than BRII and BRIII or BRIV and BRV. This change would make BRII more enjoyable, improve the playability of BRIV and BRIII, and eliminate some controversial elements.
Can you aim without taking the rifle off your shoulder?
You can try shooting by short clicks.
It is not a rifle.
13.9 damage is enough.
You played assaulters that day? I played with self-loaders, which I hate, but I have to upgrade my squads, and with pistols because of the quest. Do you feel the difference? And it’s strange to blame me when it wasn’t my team that lost.
Yep they did. They are the strongest faction by far at BR2, BR3 and BR5 now.
Soviet biases:
Fedorov Rifle/MG/Avtomat = Better than anything that Germany has in it’s arsenal
AS-44 = Straight upgrade to STG44 (bayonet and minor stats all upgraded)
RD-44 = Best TT lmg in the game and best gun overall
PPSh-41 drum = Best TT smg in the game
RMN-50 = Usable even at BR5, and since grenade rifle nerfs it’s only nade launcher that can still reliably murder groups of the enemies
LAD = not a single German smg can have 150 rounds
NKVD Tommies = Conders but higher dmg per bullet
AT-44 = After a buff it’s the best mid range AR in the game perfect accuracy with above average rof
Body armor: Ever dreamed of cosplaying Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Then here we go! We have also provided handy bonus of +10% bullet protection and 1% chance of ricochet and negating all damage.
Su-9 = Better flight and anti air performance than me262
2x Paratroopers = Can hold 6x Fedorovs or AS-44 + RD-44 x3 from the box
Soviet Assault engineers = 6x Fedorovs (Ass engies are nothing special as Germany has them but Germany has not a single equivalent of buffed Fedorov)
AVT-40 20 = AVT-40 got buffed twice and now have 20 round magazines, it has reached similar level of power as FG42 II
La-7 = Really solid plane with great turn rate
Bramit/PPSh-41 (S) = Only nation with two silenced smgs at high BR
PPS-42/43 = Stronger than MP40/Berettas
Uragan = Much better than MP40/Berettas
Winchester M1895 = Best level action rifle, no Mannlicher M1895 stats are all inferior
Fedorov Rifle/Koko Rifle = Best semi at BR2
T-28E = Best all rounder tank at BR2, can easily destroy BR1-3 German tanks and is the best tank to wipe out infantry waves due it’s HE spam + 3x MGs
T-28 = After last change it just become a spare T-28E clone with APCBC shell, ready to show Soviet bias to the Axis
PPSh-41 box = Just the most broken smg at BR3, bolt rilfe dispersion still not fixed, while German MP41(r) just got nerfed
SVT-38 = Best TT semi at BR3
SVT-38 sniper = best TT semi sniper at BR3
KV-1 = Best tank at BR3
T-34 STZ = Very strong tank at BR3
P-40E = Best plane at BR2
HT-130 = Best flamethrower tank with the longest flamethrower range of all of them
Hurricane mk IIB/IL-2 (1941)/I-153 - Spam 3x rocket planes at BR2. Now Hurricane got new 50mm APHE penning rockets making it even more op
Su-2/Sb-2m = Spam 6x 100kg bombs at BR2
Yak-9k = Destroy even King Tiger with it’s p2w BR3 plane
PPD-1944 = Drum smg at BR3? Why not we are Soviets we don’t care about rules, rules are for German suckers
Have stolen Panzerfaust 60/100, Mauser, Breda
Have Lend Lease M1 Bazooka, M3 Grant, P40-E, Hurricane (with rockets at BR1), A-20, half Track M3A1, Thompson M21/28
T-70 = Amazing BR1 tank with very thick turret armor and angled hull
It has bad recoil and goes massively to the right unlike PPS-42 so not really. And you can’t fix it with perk as it’s innate to a gun (recoil direction)
I am just going to address level two semi auto’s. I really don’t see what the big fuss is towards the Fedorov 1912 being at BR2, what other semi auto option do the Soviets have at BR2? So it hits at 15.6, so does the German Pavesi M42 and it carries one extra round. The only complaints I would have is that the Fedorov does reload a lot faster then any other level two semi auto, and the M42 is a BP weapon. I would personally rate the Japanese Hei the best level two semi auto because it has virtually no recoil as far as a semi auto goes.
If any faction should be unhappy about their level two semi autos its the Allies, as the M1 Carbine is just pathetic all the way around. lt shoots slow, hits weak and has crap for range. If it weren’t for the 15 round mag the only thing it would be good for is hanging a soldiers helmet on as a grave marker.
Does DF have a Soviet bias, IMOP, yes, and you only have to look at the fact they are the only faction with body armor and the only faction with a fully weapons changeable paratrooper squad.
I told devs that this will be the consequence of overbuffing Soviets across all BRs but especially at BR2 where both newbies and veterans reside. They haven’t stopped at single buff, they are doing it literally every major update and sometimes in between of them.
Now Veterans got bored of losing vs op guns + tanks/planes and them taking away their PZ3N so they left and when it comes to newbies there are not enough of them. Game’s growth is really limited and Gaijin is not helping it with piss poor marketing, over monetization that they throw in player’s faces and bad balancing that each patch only makes Germany weaker.
