ppd/ppsh recoil

So how do you use these guns to minimize the recoil. its extreme..

Some tricks :

>Try to get your full breath before to fire it
>You can use it like a light MG : prone/aim on some support until the icon gets completely white and then shoot (if possible in short burts)

With such technique I sometimes beat semi-auto guys mid-range in same situation.
(even if it requires 2 to 5 tries on my side when only 1 to 3 is enough for him)

An other thing :
if you are a rusher, use the long fire.
The canon will be going up. Keep shooting and move your mouse down.
(it works in both situations of hipshooting and aimed fire). With habits, you will learn more or less the direction of your fire depending on weapon angle while hipshooting. Some will says that kills a bit the game, other says that is a challenge to master and not everyone got the time to aim in emergency.

Oh yes, a last thing :

If you are used to MP40, PPS 42 and Stg 44, you will have to un-learn what you know to learn PPSh 41 & PPD 40. (and there are even difference between both : PPSh 41 is more accurate than PPD40 for aimed mid-range shooting in short burst)

wow these guns are nearly useless for me

Consider in Red Orchestra Ostfront, learning curve replace unlockable elements of other class based games. (ie : sniping at long range, using anti-tank rifle, rushing unscope, etc... everything have its own gameplay)

You'll get used to them. PPSH is a beast in the right scenario, and don't be afraid to just hold W and hipfire when up close and personal.

Well i ve been getting some ridic killstreaks in room to room shootouts with the ppsh lol. Weird balance in this game, takes some time to get used to.
