The Soumi is an excellent weapon but nothing makes it any more effective than the MP38/40 or the PPSH in game terms. Despite myth, it fired 9mm bullets and was a short range machinegun. It did not shoot down planes, destroy tanks, or date women.

Actually a Soviet air-to-ground plane was shot down with the Suomi Smg in the Winter War. Some guy had just arrived to the front and apparently he didn't like aircraft so he emptied a full clip to a low-flying plane. The pilot was wounded in the head and the plane crashed ca. 1 klick from the front and it was found by ad-hoc units. No one else had fired at the aircraft so the kill was confirmed.
The guy was wounded lethally in a counter-attack later and died in a field hospital.
