The PPS-42 red has two different damage values as an event weapon, even though it is the exact same weapon and all other stats are completely identical.
The higher damage value of 6.9 belongs to the PPS-42 red from the older events, while the newer PPS-42 red has a damage value of 6.7.
Therefore, my suggestion would be to reduce the damage value of the older PPS-42 Red from 6.9 to 6.7, since there is no difference between it, the PPS-42 from the Tech Tree, and the PPS-42 Red from the more recent events.
Its just a skin really and shouldnt really be better than the tech tree counterpart just because it has oxidized, that would make no sense at all.
I do own 3 and use all 3 so I would be a “loser” with this change, but consistency should come before personal gain.
As for “unique guns” that could do higher damage for BR2 USSR, I much rather have a 9mm gun or 45.acp gun. There are some captured and lend-leased guns that could be added as event guns.
Early pattern MP40 that were made between 1940-41 (we have a late 1941 MP40 in game)
Would come with slightly different stats and unique appearance.
It’s been decided that it the gun will simply turn into a legacy weapon with a rename, since it’s unobtainable and the balance impact is minimal, so it would just make the players who own it just angry instead of improving balance
