[dropcap2]H[/dropcap2]aving shown the Soviet Uniforms yesterday, and a lot of tanks in previous posts, we also need something to protect the Soviet soldiers from attacks from enemy airplanes, AND give the infantry a way to defend themselves against enemy armor! So here is a presentation of the Maxim M4 Quad Anti-air setup and the PTRD 1941 Anti-Tank Rifle.

While the Soviet anti-aircraft gun might look like something out of mad inventor’s workshop it is a very effective tool against low flying enemy airplanes.
4 water-cooled Maxim machineguns linked together can send a LOT of lead into the sky.
PTRD 1941
The PTRD is a Soviet anti-tank rifle. It is a single shot, bolt-action rifle, firing the massive 14.5x114mm round. While not very effective against heavy armor, it is very effective against lightly armored vehicles and you can carry more ammunition.
Unlock
The PTRD unlocks at ‘Tank Destruction* Ribbon rank 5, but please note that BEFORE that the Soviets unlock boxes of American made bazookas at Explosives level 1 (like the Americans), this is to make sure that they still stand a chance against enemy medium and heavy armor that the PTRD is having a hard time penetrating.
RPG-43
For heavier tanks you will either need to get up close and personal and use the RPG-43 Grenade! – as we talked about when it was presented here. Or see if you can get your hands on a bazooka or a panzerschreck!
Unlock
The ROG-43 unlocks at ‘Tank Destruction* Ribbon rank 6
