Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad
Nice, but where's the trigger? This article or section is incomplete. You can help IMFDB by expanding it. |
Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad is a 2011 first-person shooter and the sequel to Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45. As an FPS, it is noticeable for it's tactical realism. The game, set in the brutal Battle of Stalingrad, features a single player-campaign for both the Red Army and the Wehrmacht, as well as teamwork-orientated multiplayer. Players can also operate T-34/76 and Panzer IV tanks in both gameplay modes.
Small-arms in game can have their sights adjusted (players can also look through the ironsights on sniper rifles without having to remove the telescopic sight) and ballistic drops have to be taken into account; the barrel of the MG34 has to be replaced after constant firing. Players can operate four stations in the tanks; driver, gunner, commander and radio operator/bow machine gunner. A feature also allows players to fully hide behind cover for better protection (not unlike Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway); weapons can also be blind fired from behind cover without players exposing themselves.
The following firearms appear in Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad:
Allied Weapons
Rifles
Mosin Nagant M91/30
The main weapon of Soviet Riflemen in-game is the Mosin Nagant M91/30 rifle. Its 5-round internal box magazine is reloaded either via stripper clips, or with loose ammo, dependent on the ammo count in the magazine at the time the reload is triggered, and is available with a telescopic sight-fitted marksman variant.
Tokarev SVT-40
The Tokarev SVT-40 is used by the Soviet "elite Rifleman" class. It holds a ten-round stripper clip and can be mounted with a telescopic sight. A fully-automatic variant, the AVT-40, is also available, albeit with extreme recoil. Historically, this 1942-designed weapon was available at the time of Stalingrad with that designation, but it was rare and unpopular.
Submachine Guns
PPSh-41
The PPSh-41 submachine gun is used by the Red Army Non-Commissioned Officers and Assault Riflemen. Curiously for a video game, it is only available with a 35-round stick magazine, instead of the iconic 71-round drum.
Machine Guns
Degtyaryov DP-28
Russian Machine Gunners are issued the Degtyaryov DP-28 light machine gun, which holds a 47-round drum magazine and a bipod for stability and accuracy. Unlike it's German counterpart, it's barrel cannot be replaced.
Degtyaryov DT
The Degtyaryov DT machine gun is mounted on the T-34/76 tank and used by the main gunner as a coaxial weapon and by the radio operator/bow machine gunner.
Maxim M1910/30
The Maxim M1910/30 is used as a fixed heavy machine gun by Russians. It is noticeable for it's slow rate of fire and large belt compared to the German counterpart.
