Overview
The non-technical newbro’s guide on our primary weapons, what to buy and what to modify.
The Basics
Congragulations Comrade! You’ve been lucky enough to be conscripted into the glorious Soviet Red Army! I am here to instruct you on what your job is and it’s pretty simple. Your job is to die. We Russians have entered the war late and as such most of our armies a comprised of cheap infantry such as yourself. We drown facist and capatalists in bodies and we do it well. You will NOT camp that hill or that base and you WILL charge head long into the objective because that is how we shall claim VICTORY!
NOW onto your standard issue gear!
Your Rifle and You
Soviet doctrine: Have more bullets then they have bodies; Also more bodies then they have bullets
Unfortunately those 71 rounds do you no good sitting in the magazine so modding the Rate of Fire is a nessesity. Able to reach 600 RPM with just a trigger and over 720 RPM with a new spring this is the poor mans PPSH. Speaking of which:
I run this stock because it is supurb as is, but it can be modifed to be the definition of bullet hose or with added stability and accuracy to produce a solid mid range firearm perfect for gunning down those fleeing Germans and Americans who tremble at the sight of our SHEER NUMBERS!
One ridiculously oversized bullet, one kill
Where other nations, have decent semi-automatic weapons to grind for a bolt action, we do not have the fortune. So instead soviet engineers had to get creative in getting us easy access to one shot kill rifles. After much though and testing they brought us this:
Unlocked through blowing up tanks the PTRD is the STONKEST infantry weapon in the game, this will tear off limbs and punch holes through tank armour. No one on foot can survive a shot from this no matter where it hits because that part of their body ceases to exists. This comes at a cost though, the gun must be hand loaded after every shot. Believe it or not, it is not only easier to unlock this then the mosin but cheaper then fully modding the negant to one shot power without having to scarifice range or deal with extreme repair costs.
This gun can be modded but it really does not need to be, that being said the only viable mods on this thing are accuarcy and range buffs.
What are you waiting for take these MINES AND UNLOCK THIS BEAUTFUL CREATION
A note on AV
We get shafted in almost every single way here. Zookas are nearlly double priced from the americans. All the AT grenades are up priced. Our only saving grace is the TM-35 mines. For just over 2k for 60 saturating an objective with a mine field is a completly viable option. They’re most efficiently used when running up to tanks and suicide detonation them, but they really are our only cost effective option for killing TDs, heavies and mediums reliably.
Purchase and Upgrade Order
Unfortunately Comrade, the Soviet Union does not run on sunshine and rainbows so you will have to purchase any gear besides your standard issue club. My recomendation is:
1) PPD-40: 11200 Credits
Don’t argue. Buy this ASAP, slap ROF mods on and go to town. We are an SMG nation dont fight against that truth.
2) TM-35 Mines: 2130 Credits
PanzerFaust your way to it, this is how you’ll be unlocking your PTRD. Run up to a tank, slap this down next to it, then shoot the mine till it explodes. Oh so satisfying and makes a huge diffrence on the battlefield.
(Optional) GAZ-67: 14200
The worst jeep in the game, ♥♥♥♥ handling and no gun. But mobility wins games, the faster you can arrive on the front lines the less likely the enemy is to break through.
3) PPSH: 170,400
Your first big buy. Its worth every penny. Just do it.
4) PTRD: 234,300
Your next big buy. Allows you to demolish infantry at ranges that would make a sniper jealous, destroy light armour and make mediums and TDs constantly paranoid.
5) Up to you
By now you’re a vet of the soviet struggle, you dont need me telling you what to do or what to buy. work on a new soldier, get a para or a pilot or a tanker.
