	One man trained with a rifle will reliably hit another man a hundred metres away, but while one man with an SMG will struggle to hit a barn door he'll keep his enemy pinned with the volume of fire he spews out as well as requiring little instruction beyond 'point this bit at whoever you want to die'. After noticing how the Finns used this very simple tactic in the close quarter combat of forests and cities of the Winter War, the Soviet war machine poured huge effort into creating easy to use SMGs. Keeping with the standard Soviet adage of 'quantity being a quality of its own' entire infantry battalions were often equipped with cheap and easy to manufacture PPSh-41's, pointed at the enemy and let loose to devastating effect in the urban battlefields of Eastern Europe. Later in the war, the Soviets issued the even cheaper ~~to make~~ PPS-43. Soviet Doctrine of having a mix of rifle and SMG companies would remain right up until the adoption of the AK-47, when the soviets realized that they had a gun that could fill both roles.

	The Hero SMG company is an absolutely tiny unit (by soviet standards) at only 7 regular stands and a commissar. This means they play very different from the regular company, but are much more capable. Where the regular company is a sledgehammer that you throw in the enemies face to overwhelm a position with SMG fire and assault, the Hero SMG company is a bit more conventional, better for cleaning up after a couple turns of bombardment or capturing enemy tanks in assault. Their smaller numbers and size mean they can ride on the smaller hero tank companies and take up fewer points, but their veteran rating and ''2+ assault'' make them more flexible, even if they don't have the numbers to sustain casualties. Consider using the Tankodesantniki card and pairing them up with IS-2s to get to the bad guys faster.

	The SMG Company is unique among Soviet infantry in that it doesn't have its own company, but is available as a support unit in almost every formation in the game. Like most Soviet units it comes in 2 flavors: Spam and survivors guilt.
