Weapon Background

ProtivoTankovoye Ruzhyo Degtyaryova 1941 (PTRD-41), an anti-tank rifle developed and produced in the early 1941 by the USSR. Designed based on the Polish Model 35 anti-tank rifles the Red Army captured, and with some reference design to the German PzB38/39. When compared to the German counterpart the PzB39, PTRD is significantly heavier, significantly longer and often require a two man crew to operate. Prone to jamming more frequently but have a better armor piercing performance, PTRD was also produced in a much lower quantity than the German PzB39.

PTRD and it's later developed semi-automatic version PTRS-41 are designed to chamber the 14.5×114mm B-32/BS-41 round. Armor piercing performance of the PTRD is considered stronger than it's predecessor counterparts, able to achieve a bullet muzzle velocity of 1,012m/s, able to penetrate an armor plate up to 35 to 40mm thick at a distance of 100 meters at 0 degrees. Theoretically effective against the side and rear armor of the German Panzer II, III, IV and early models of the Panthers. However, due to the high velocity and small size of the round, it had a very high chance of shattering and/or ricocheting, especially if the target was struck at an oblique angle.

Based on the Polish anti-tank rifle, PTRD is also single shot bolt action, operator have to manually reload every cartridge after every shot. PTRD have an effective muzzle brake, but it also creates a very visible cloud of dust or snow and debris, which can easily expose the position of the PTRD teams. Being rush produced at the time, PTRD was deployed without telescopic sight, the iron sight could only provide up to 300 metres of effective firing range.

After the poor performance results, PTRD and PTRS were relegated from anti-armor duties and used for anti-personal roles, the Red Army turned to a more reliable anti-armor solution, the RPG series of rocket launchers. The two rifles have entirely retired from USSR by 1960, it was widely exported to other members of the Union, the Warsaw Pact and other Communist based countries during the Cold War. Aside from WW2, PTRD also seen intense service with the North Korean Army and the People's Volunteer Army during the Korean peninsula conflicts. The rifle even saw action during the recent Ukraine conflict where it was used by both Pro-Russian Separatists and Ukraine Volunteer.

Character Info

Design

Note that the weapon PTRD is 2 metres long, and the T-doll PTRD is standing side by side next to it...

PTRD was kindly given the nickname "Southern Hemisphere" by the player base, due to the pair of large revealing under boob featured on her uncensored art work. After the censorship of the Western Release, players began referring to her by the nickname "picked egg" instead.

PTRD's Romantic Mission outfit also inflicted some degree of commotion among the player base when it was first revealed on weibo, players noticed some viscous white contents on her right hand on the original released art, it was quickly removed though.

Personality

Official character description of PTRD states that she is a very positive thinking yet calmed and focused T-doll, she have an eye for small details, she is always observing everyone's emotions and thoughts. She does not like being involved in troublesome works.

In-Game

PTRD is blessed with one of the highest damage outputs of any rifle in Girls Frontline. Per bullet, she is second only to five-star T-Dolls like DSR-50 and NTW-20. While she's often lambasted for a slow fire rate, at max level she's only slightly slower than several Legendary-tier rifles, though initially her damage output is much more hit-or-miss. If paired with fire rate boosting T-Dolls such as Makarov, she can be surprisingly effective. Additionally, she makes an excellent boss-killer due to the high damage of her Interdiction Shot skill, which boosts her damage by seven times - the most of any 4* rifle T-Doll skill. Her unique gear is especially helpful in this regard, improving her weakest area (fire rate) quite a bit and making her more efficient.

If you can soldier past the initial problems of a slow fire rate and poor sustained damage at the outset, she can surprise you with how effective she can be, but for many players, she's a finicky choice that's hard to use without foresight.

Trivia

• On 1950s, several captured PTRD had replaced its barrel with M2 Heavy Barrel conducted by Army Ordnance Officer, Cpt. William Brophy. Later, the results proved the replaced barrel has significant improvement of the maximum effective range; the M2 Barrel fitted on PTRD proved effective to 1828m, or 2000 yards over the standard PTRD barrel.
• During the war, Soviet Armored attempt to use PTRD as Anti-Aircraft weapon against bomber, although the effectiveness itself was questionable among historian and most of the capability only come from Soviet propagandist.
  • It's impossible to shoot down medium and heavy bomber at their altitude, however it is assumed if the propagandists refer the bomber as Ju 87 'Stuka' Dive Bomber due their nature of slow speed and possibility to shot down its engine or flight control surface although it is dangerous to face Stuka without heavy cover or in dive bombing position. Fyodor Modzhenok, from the 75th Guard Rifle Division claimed to shot down a Junkers bomber, reported the usage of PTRD as Anti-Aircraft Rifle by putting a wagon cart wheel to chopped tree as an anti-aircraft turret were popular.
  • Aside of Propagandists claim, the 14.7mm which PTRD used later became a primary ammunition for Soviet ZPU.
• Further experiment of PTRD was conducted by attaching a scope which involved famous Soviet Sniper, Vasily Zaitsev. However, due its harsh recoil produced, the scope mount wasn't strong enough to grip PTRD receiver, and it'll easily dislocate the scope mount. During Korean War kickoff, U.S Army conducted a same experiment as Soviet does, by attaching Lyman Alaskan Scope on it.
• The Blue Thickened Cape which exclusively available for PTRD was based on blue coat that Suou Pavlichenko wore on Darker than Black Anime.
  • Also, Suou's known to equipped with PTRD.
