Now use you cheat mode and run test above 10 times to make sure your theory is correct, since there is a large number of things you have not taken into account.

done... out of 10 trials cons PPSH won 3 out of 10... a 60 muni upgrade lost to a 45 muni upgrade that provides smoke and HE grenades on the side aswell...

calculations are done assuming DPS at range 10

Volks MP40 and assault grenadiers
10.231 per model
51.155 per squad

cons PPSH
9.739 per model (ppsh)
2.603 per model (mosin)
37.026 per squad


DPS difference at range 10 = volks DPS is 38% higher than cons DPS

target size
volks 1 assgrens 0.95 conscripts 1.09

HP
volks 400 assgrens 400 conscripts 480

adjusted HP (based on target size)
volks 400 assgrens 421 conscripts 440

MTTK calculations

volk vs cons
8.60 seconds

assgren vs cons
8.60 seconds

cons vs volk
10.80 seconds

cons vs assgren
11.37 seconds


conclusion... cons PPSH is inferior to volks MP40 and assgrens....

and this isnt even factoring the fact that volks get a proper nade and a smoke nade with the mp40 and is cheaper than the PPSH upgrade

options and thoughts
1. cons ppsh gives 6 ppsh instead... upgrade switches out molotov for RGD-33 grenade... hit the dirt removed for being useless and redundant
------------------
this change puts cons PPSH at the level of volks MP40... slightly better but slightly more expensive and with less utility... its fairly unimaginative of a change but it is straightforward and clean
------------------

2. cons ppsh is made nondoc and gives 6 ppsh instead arriving at T3 without sidegrade (timing could be adjusted)... 7 man is instead made doctrinal
------------------
this is my preferred solution as the red army historically is supposed to field alot of submachinegun weapons beyond anything else... by 1944 entire battalions would be given nothing but PPSHs... the "human wave" element of the red army is nothing more than a meme anyways and should be restricted to doctrinal flavor... timing of PPSH could use adjustment however
------------------

and it has been buffed in a number of other ways:

Show Spoiler

In my last game alone the 2 maxims I used had 1194% efficiency vs double leig. (2vs2).

none of these stats exceed that of other machineguns though... what changes did u identify exactly that would justify the maxim overperforming when given the suppression of other MGs? in fact it most likely should be worse since the maxim has terrible arc compared to other machineguns of comparable suppression (post buff)

No.

Again if in your opinion PPsh upgrade is terrible I suggest you run some test vs MP VG and Assault grenadiers and then start a thread about it containing the results.

They where and they used allot. They have simply been powered creeped by SVT/7 men. If played the game at the time they patched you would had noticed.

the point of the earlier statement was that the cons PPSH upgrade is underpowered compared to almost every other weapon upgrade ingame... SVT and 7 man outclass the PPSH because the upgrade is simply terrible
