Don't buy PPD-40

That gun has the weakest damage with very high recoil. It has 71 rounds in it, but most of rounds will just fly over the enemies heads.

Stick with your rifle and don't buy this gun.

I would dare say that the PPD-40 is much better than the MP34 because of the higher DPM. Before I unlocked the MP40 I often just stole a PPD/PPSH off a dead russian because those guns often yielded better results. MP34 just blooms too quickly and has too few of rounds. The ROF hardly saves you and I would say it hinders the gun more than it helps it.

SMGs in general are almost always better than the rifles, so I would still take the PPD over the SVT-40.

Lol, you are an obvious troll, that gun is good in the right hands, or on other words, not in your hands :D

Reto must rebalance carried ammunition.
Soviet 71 round SMG drum weight 1.94 kg, german 32 round SMG magazine - 0,67 kg. One 71 PPSh-41 drum ~= 2,9 (!) MP38/40 magazines.

A similar situation with the US M1 carbine. Wearable ammunition for M1 Carbine extremely overvalued.

Yes, wen i first bought the PPD-40 i was like..what a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥ gun, slow rate of fire, awful precision and extremely bad damage at medium ranges, it only has 25 in close range.
Then i modded it to give it 600 rate of fire, similar to a factory Thompson, and with some new bullets its a LOT better now, still sucks at medium ranges and forget about long ranges, but in cqc its very good, its not an mp-40 or a Thompson, but its not supposed to be, its the first Smg, and to be the first one, modded its not bad at all.

Has anyone tried modding the MP34 too? That thing is an absolute beast when modded. However it's mag size lets it down hard

PPD-40 is much better than then MP-34.

Yes, by far ... the MP34 is just a can opener and is the weakest SMG in the game. It is slow to deploy and slow as hell.

I modded my MP-34 for fun, it works great. Easy kill 2 ppl a mag if you use it right, sometimes 3. But yeah only carrying 20 rounds a mag is a huge disadvantage.

Still it can be made effective despite what ppl say.

This gun is ridiculous. I was in heaven when I first got it. Spray bullets, rarely have to change clips, etc. Room clearing an issue? You're doing it wrong. Range is an issue? You're probably doing that wrong too.

Controlled bursts aimed lower at the body walk damage up the enemy at range. Room clear? Hold trigger, run like hell, kill everything.

PPD-40 is a great weapon always pick it up when killing soviets.

[Mulle Meck]

I personally think it's a bad gun, the recoil is awful and so is the spray but if you think about it then it is like the historical soviet union. the soviet was worse when it came to equipment but they were so many that it didn't realy matter

[Milk]

Personally, I found it the best starter submachine gun, and I am looking forward to upgrade it's RoF.

With the PPD-40, no more circling around the door way down sights, now I just rush in hipfiring this thing, dust, gun powder, guts, blood and feces flying everywhere, and the magazine isn't even half empty. I did this on the airfield map observation tower, and took out 5 Americans in one magazine. I never used its iron sights.

It does however lack long range performance, but it's a beast at medium to close range, and at keeping the enemy at bay. I think it will be easy getting to the PPSH with this baby.

I'm currently using it as a sidearm. Its large drum magazine goes perfect with the hoarder badge.

[Cptn_Miller]

dont buy the ppd40 lol, you are obviously playing american or german ..... lame attempt but A for effort... ya since it only leads to the most op f'n weapon in the game, ppsh > tommygun>any german gun ..... so ya you are funny ....

Why bring this old post up that was made in February...PPD40 was horrible at the time,but later got fixed.

[ThinMintLime]

Played my Russian character today and tried it.

Useless. At least stock, it is.
