Which is better in Berlin, PPSh or FG-42?
Just had an argument where someone said I didn’t know about what actual veterans of that campaign prefer. I myself don’t like it, so I figured this was the best way to find out.
Depends, on distance the fg42 in CQC the ppsh obviuosly.

What’s the difference between the 2? I though it was just minor recoil, is it really that big?
Depends. Like @38883009 said.
But there’s another factor I’d like to add: What is the funniest weapon between the 2, without stats or power comparisons, just fun factor. For me, ppsh41 all the way. Because I can use it along with different firearms and remain top competitive. Axis side would be fg42II and… yeah just fg42II. Boring.

the recoil differance is actually massive. with recoil reduction you can usually keep your aim on target in full auto up to 50-100 meters
also the sight is better
Yeah, that’s what I figured, and since Berlin is filled with CQC, I figured PPSH would be better there.
Oh, ok.
I myself don’t use full auto on SF rifles much, but it does seem like it’d make a difference for people who use it.
i usually dont use auto on the other SF rifles. but its just so controllable on the FG 42 II that you are missing out if you dont, highly recommend

Tough choice. The FG42 II is good in every situation but nothing bests a PPSH when clearing the point. Over all? I’d probably take the FG42 II as it has the most flexibility

i would prefer the FG42 since it’s more versatile in the sense though i do have one PPSh, box one, in my assaulter 1 squad incase i need a room cleared. though the PPSH firing SXF is really fucking sexy my assaulter 2 squad is larp for advance wars since blue moon infantry carry PPSH

Your opinion doesn’t matter, as it is the one in question.
Also infantry with FG42 isn’t that good Imo, as you can’t carry much ammo and AI tend to commit suicide.
6 man engi squads are the way to go.
Ammo by carrying ammo bag.
Also dont you know AI is better at high damage per shot weapons? They suck at firing SMGs. Only knows some weird burst or even single shot.
Still 80 rounds, which is quite low, especially on full auto.
Also kinda expensive for someone who just got it to give all 9 dudes large ammo. Engineer squad is just generally better.
Don’t you know that AI is irrelevant, cause all it does is go out of cover, die and maybe allow you to respawn once every few times. It especially sucks at cqc, which is the most dominant type of gameplay in Berlin, thus making it even more irrelevant. Possibly the only good thing about it is that it can distract the enemies.

- You have 9x20x3 ammo for FG, at 12 dmg, total of 6480 . For PPSh, you have 4x71x3, at 5.5dmg, total of 4686. (Plus AVT 3x15x3x12, total 6306dmg)
- Yeah, but still, for rifle squad, you have 2 more possible alived AI. So, for PPSh squad, fewer AI, less chance of getting squad alive. (Also Berlin has lots of Axis defend only map. Poor pathfinding affect attackers more) Also, the speed of empty PPSh is also very fast too. For FG, you can choose single shot mode to save ammo.
Which is mostly irrelevant, as most of your squad will die by the time you get into the fight. So quality>quantity, which also halps the engi sqad be better. And technically, going by your calculations, has infinite damage possibillities.
Still, those chances are both low. As by the time you empty your squad leader and 1 surviving AI (most likely scenario for both), the rest of your squad is dead.
Have you considered, managing your bursts?
Whatever, this is pointless. I didn’t create this topic to argue with you, this is over, I will not reply to you in this conversation anymore and kindly ask you to do the same.

Play as soviet in berlin means 10 human teammate vs 1-2 german players
If you can 1v10 with FG42-2 then join the 422 side or If you can get 3 other squad members with 422 as well then 422 is not a bad choice.

Well, technicaly PPSH can do it too.
