Is it just me... or has this thing fallen off the face of the earth? I haven't heard it's distinct rifle crack in a long, long time. I kind of miss it to be honest, it is a really fun and unique weapon in this game.
I use it like a SVT in semi mode only time I go full auto is when i'm room clearing and firing from the hip.

Yeah that's what I would do if I used it, the thing is one of its unlocks is extremely redundant... a bayonet.
What? The bayo is one of the best things ever to be put on the gun in-game. When out of ammo (very quickly with AVT) you have to bash, which is mostly a kill for the enemy since it never kills instantly and most of the time not even the second bash.
I tried levelling it up recently, but it seems to be bugged with kill counts being added to the SVT-40 at the end-of-round instead.
Don't really see a point to the weapon. Admittedly you would use it for CQC but the PPSh is better in every way (that matters). Who needs penetrating power when you can shower someone with bullets? And the magazine size is a HUGE disadvantage. The recoil on the weapon is also too much. Assuming you are fulfilling an assault role, you will gimp yourself by choosing this weapon over the PPSh.
The benefit of the AVT is the option to switch to single-shot mode without changing class (or having to level PPSH up to 50). It really annoys me when I'm Assault, carrying the PPSH, discover someone has flanked us (Barracks a great example), and I don't have a bolt/etc to take them out at range. Trying to snipe them with the PPSH is usually fail, and I switch back to AVT or Rifleman to clear them out.
I understand your point but I just don't think it's worth it when you can easily find a bolt or semi on the ground and use that instead. Even then, I don't think sniping with the PPSh is that bad. Ultimately I just feel like you give up way too much. Not to mention it feels a little awkward from a game design perspective to have a weapon whose main de facto function is to act as an SVT proxy.
the fact that it eventually unlocks a 3.5x scopeAgreed. When I'm using the PPSH, I'll usually pick up a spare bolt/semi if available. The AVT is definitely less all-rounded than the MKB. I keep hoping that there's some secret FTW aspect of it that the devs are waiting for us to figure out... Here's hoping.
