Battle Pass/Premium Squad Weapons Suggestions #1: Battle of Moscow

There’s been a lot of talk about potential future additions to battle passes and premium squads. I thought I’d make a compilation of weapons I’ve come across in books I’ve read, or journals I’ve come across online.

Note that some of these weapons never entered serial production, but every weapon here had at least one functioning prototype. I know that isn’t enough for some of you, but it seems to be enough to get several weapons in game. That being said, I’ll take semi-authentic variety over super strict, small gun rosters.

Anyway! I intend to follow with suggestions for further campaigns if you’d like them!

Russia

PPT-28

  • A development of the PPT-27 (which exists in-game in a premium squad)
  • Fired a similar cartridge, but had a slightly higher powder charge increasing muzzle velocity
  • Rate of fire was reduced from ~1200 to ~900. Less DPS but more controllable
  • 25 round magazine

PPT-30

  • Functionally identical to the PPT-28, but fired from a closed bolt
  • Potential for one to be Battle Pass and one to be premium, virtually identical

PDM-42

  • Similar to the PPS-42, but lost the production contract due to a complicated production process

TK pistol

  • .25 ACP cartridge
  • Small damage but virtually zero recoil

Germany

MP-36

  • Predecessor to later SMGs, in particular the MP-40
  • Essentially an MP-40 with a select fire switch: auto/semi-auto

MP 715(r) and MP 716(r)

  • PPD-38 and PPD-40 captured in battle and used in German service

P.615(r)

  • Captured Tokarev TT-33

MG39Rh

  • Prototype developed in 1937, at least one example was produced and tested
  • 7.92 Mauser, belt-fed, with a folding bipod

NB: Drilling with its additional third barrel would be nice.

We already have the M30 drilling and SKS41?

Oh damn, my mistake! Guess I need to brush up on my factions. I’ll try to find replacements.

Is the Nagant revolver you listed different from the one we currently have?

FWIW the current M30 drilling doesn’t have it’s rifle function, so you could potentially leave that up there.

There was a single action and double action version of the Nagant, I don’t think the single action version is in-game. But it wouldn’t be very good so, I guess that’s a pass

MG81 in direct action configuration.

Yeah I thought it might have been. Haven’t checked for a while. Replaced it with my other choice

ZH-29 i assume

Nah a pistol, that’s a good option but I’m trying to move the goal posts a bit and suggest some different stuff

The C96 is also already in game, and its not rapidfire, you’re thinking of the M712.


Being able to switch out your engineer MG emplacement with different guns would open up a lot of cool possibilities.

ZB37 in direct action role.

Yeah my mistake.

So much nuance involved with this stuff so, I’m just gonna put in one more captured weapon.

And I actually really like the TT-33 so, if I can get that as a German that works for me lmao
