Weapon Background

ProtivoTankovoye Ruzhyo Degtyaryova 1941 (PTRD-41) was 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.

The PTRD and it's later developed semi-automatic version PTRS-41 are designed to chamber the 14.5×114mm B-32/BS-41 round. The 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 a single-shot bolt-action weapon, with the operator have to manually reload every cartridge after every shot. The PTRD has an effective muzzle brake, but it also creates a very visible cloud of dust or snow and debris - as well as a deafening report, both of which could easily expose the position of the PTRD teams. Being rushed into production to fulfill a Russian military requirement at the time, the PTRD was deployed without telescopic sights, and while the iron sights were fairly effective, they could only provide up to 300 metres of effective firing range.

Ultimately, advances in armor technology made the PTRD irrelevant for its intended duty of defeating tanks; for several years, however, the PTRD lived on as an Antimaterial rifle for destroying enemy equipment and for interdicting enemy vehicles. The weapon was retired from Russian service in the 1960s, but was widely exported to other Warsaw Pact nations during the Cold War. The weapon has seen use with both North Korea's military and China's PLA during the Korean Peninsula Conflicts, and was used on both sides in recent Ukrainian conflicts (by both pro-Russia seperatists and Ukranian volunteers). The weapon, surprisingly, remains in use to this day in limited numbers, often with armies with less access to modern equipment.

Character Design

Equipped with a trenchcoat, ushanka, and a shirt that shows off her chest, PTRD practically dares onlookers not to notice her. Her Russian ancestry is blatantly apparent, with a look that calls to mind fellow T-Dolls DP28 and Makarov. A humorous, if somewhat unusual quirk is that she's shown to be roughly as tall as her weapon - while many T-Dolls in Girls Frontline are shown with stylized portrait sizes that exaggerate their weapon sizes (KAR98K and FAMAS for example), PTRD's sprite shows her to be just as tall as she appears in her portrait, making her one of the tallest T-Dolls at around seven feet in height.

PTRD is often affectionately referred to as "Southern Hemisphere" by the player base, a nickname due to her shirt showing a massive amount of underboob and being essentially lashed in place. In her censored art, players began referring to her by the nickname "picked egg" instead, owing to the fact that her close-fitting shirt still does little to disguise her sizable chest.

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.

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.
