## Overview

The **SVT 40** competes with the Gewehr 43 in Berlin as an equal, though performing slightly better than that of the G43 by a few margins but it's reloading speed.

The **Самозарядная винтовка Токарева, образец 1940 года** (*Samozaryadnaya Vintovka Tokareva, Obrazets 1938 goda*, in English, the "Tokarev self-loading rifle, model of 1940" (In-game simply known as the **SVT-40**)) is a Russian Semi-Automatic Rifle part of the Moscow Allies' arsenal in the **Battle of Moscow** and **Battle of Berlin** Campaigns. This one is equipped with an SVT PU Scope that grants 3.5x magnification.

## Overview

The **Sniper SVT 40** is a capable semi-auto rifle with a scope that helps it hit targets at longer objects. The Sniper SVT 40 is unlocked later than the SVT 38 in both campaigns. The Stats shows that it has stronger recoil, but like the rifleman version the recoil compared to the former isn't felt. The SVT is a silver more expensive than the Sniper 38. In Berlin, it is placed with the Sniper G43 which performs near identical while in Moscow it is paired with the Gewehr 98 with Scope Mount where it fires and reloads faster while also having a bigger magazine, only beaten out by raw damage output per bullet.

### Pros

* Good magnification for medium and long ranges combat.
* Respectable shot dispersion (Shared with all Semi-Automatic Rifles).
* Able to tack on CQB engagements, not being as punishing as Bolt-Action rifles due its nature.

### Cons

* This variant is not capable of mounting a Bayonet either due to Sniper Scope mount.
