Im glad some others would like to see the PE/PEM rifles used,no game yet has ever used the big scopes M91/30s.
While technically speaking not an independent game, FDF mod for OFP has PEM scope for M91\30.

True the PEM scope was quite better than the PU,the Soviets tried to make something with a more modern look resulting in the PU. Here is what the Stalingrad museum creator said regarding Zaitsevs PU rifle "When Zaitsev was recovering from his injurys this rifle was handpicked for him and this new rifle was only given to the best snipers of the divisions" Funny enough reports showed the Soviet snipers wanted the PEM back because it offered a wider field of view than the PU and easier eye relief.Not sure why only the best snipers would get the PU scope, cause technically I dont see it being any better than the PEM scope.
If they use say a German 6X I also would like to see that scope actually have a 6 powered view. Not just every Russian/German scope have an equal zoom
They actually did that on Finnish front, so I bet it happened in Stalingrad too.Unus Offa, Unus Nex So now your even doubting an actual German Veteran of Stalingrad? You really cant accept the facts can you.... Im having trouble replying to such nonsense sorry - Have you ever fired a rifle,yet original WWII sniper rifles like I have? I know guys who have traveled to the Tula and Izhevsk factorys and have all the docs. how the m91/30 sniper rifle were made - hand selected barrels,hand fitted scope setups etc... As far as I know the only special ammo German snipers were using was explosive bullets - pretty sick if you ask me,Read V.Zaitsevs memoirs and you will see the horrible damage these bullets did to the Russians. The common German scope in Stalingrad was not that crap 1.5X ZF but the 4X Zeiss and Dialtyn - look at photos of German snipers in Stalingrad or the scopes in Moscow Armed forces museum that V.Zaitsev took as trophys - All 4X big scopes.
This is where your really making me laugh - and where you lost all credability,Are you not aware that the PU scope setup can be removed from the rifle with just turning the main screw with your fingers and it will not lose zero - And dont try to tell me otherwise because I own several original m91/30 PU sniper rifles.
Sepp Allerberger's book? You couldnt pay me to read it,The nonsense ive heard thats written in that book is laughable,Russian soldiers eating their dead comrades - I wont even go any further what a lie,the author is an obvious anti Communist,I wouldnt trust anything he writes. All he did was take some notes from a few interviews he did with Allerberger and jumble them together,Why is it that initially Allerberger refused to let his real name be used in the book? Im not debating rather a bullet explodes a head,but that WWII vets do not talk that way! Ive read 1st hand accounts of many Soviet snipers and a few German snipers,Not ONE talks in such a manner - saying "I looked through the 4X PU scope and seen his head explode like a watermelon" Authors fantasy. What a real sniper say's which you can read in memoirs would be something like "I squeezed the trigger and watched his head fall back" Fact is killing was not fun for these guys and Allerberger especially had trouble post war because of what he had seen/done and I seriously doubt he got into such graphic details in these interviews,End of conversation.
Vassili Zaitsev said in his short story from 1943 that his m91/30 PEM was better than a Scoped k98 - what do you say to that? Because Zaitsev said that it must be a fact right,right? No its not its an opinion,do you know what an opinion is? What Sepp said (if he said it) is an opnion just as Zaitsevs. And who the heck wants to mess with a key to adjust for windage when the Russian scope just requires your fingers,really. Your talking about stuff you dont even know about,You dont even own a m91/30 PU yet your talking all this stuff that you cant simply remove the scope and pack it away when you can with 3 turns. All you know is nonsense you read online - and have that typical attitude that "Germans are #1 no questions asked" Well that aint true. An original m91/30 PU is capable of hitting a man sized target out to 800 yards with no problem - consistently,Ive done it many times. I know my sniper rifles.
1943 PU - WWII served,Ukrainian National Police issued post war
Now show me one of your 100 percent original WWII k98 or m91/30 sniper rifles? Until you show me an original WWII sniper rifle you own your opinion does not matter to me,with no 1st hand experiance.
And do I need to mention again that the m91/30 PU is in front line service with the Russian Army today?
Wheres the scoped k98?
Here's a good read originally published in the Austrian publication Truppendienst in 1967, by Captain Hans Widhofner based on interviews with three WW2 German snipers.
The one on the left is Soviet M44 and the one on the right is Finnish M39.and aop, is the 2nd rifle a russian build?
the fore sights of the mosin's just ****. those in RO1 were not accurately modeled i reckon
The one on the left is Soviet M44 and the one on the right is Finnish M39.
I don't personally have any problems with either Finnish or Soviet open sights except that the Soviet sight needs hammer if you want to adjust the windage.
Hey Unus, since you have the old WW2 7.92mm sS, do you know what the MoA accuracy rating of the Kar98k is? I know that present-day Rifles are typically rated as 2-MoA with commercial ammo... but just wondering if you have any estimation on the accuracy of a WW2-Era Kar98k with it's appropriate ammunition.
As a side note, I have references that suggest most Mosins during WW2 feeding Light Ball were between 2 and 4 MoA, depending on quality, and that the SVT-40 is between 2.5 MoA for a good Rifle, and up to a horrid 7 MoA for bad quality.
Well I hope that's not entirely true, but we'll find out.Sorry to say guys, but apart from minor differences, the snipers will probably act the same, just like in RO1.
