Time for another history class!

Simo Häyhä was a Finnish military sniper in World War II during the 1939–1940 Winter War against the Soviet Union. He used a Finnish-produced M/28-30 (a variant of the Mosin–Nagant rifle) and a Suomi KP/-31 submachine gun (basically a Finnish version of the PPSh-41). He is believed to have killed over 500 enemy soldiers during the Winter War, the highest number of sniper kills in any major war. Because of this, he is often regarded as the deadliest sniper of all time. He got the "White Death" nickname as reference to his clothing (completly white to make it easier to hide in the snow) and due to his massive body count.
The soviets tried to kill him, but apart from getting shot by a explosive bullet which deformed his face, he managed to survive the war, living the rest of his days peacefully in a war veterans' nursing home in Hamina, where he died in 2002 at the age of 96. He was buried in his home town of Ruokolahti.

One interesting detail of his time as a sniper is that Simo didn't used a scope and prefer to use his rifle's ironsights for a number of reasons. Fighting mainly in the snow, the cold would cause the lenses to fog up easily when in use. Simo also didn't like that he had to raise his head a couple more inches to look down a scope. That was actually beneficial to him as it made his rifle more concealable, lighter and he didn't had to worry about reflections revealing his position.

Now about the guns and the perk deck: The Nagant is basically a given (he used a variant of the gun, therefore she has to be in) and while Simo used a version of the PPSh-41, we don't have this weapon in the game so i used the Luger instead as she was also used by Finnish soldiers and officers until the end of WW2 and burglar was used due to him being basically a ghost during his time at the military.

Now for how the build works: It's just your average sniper build, try to aim for the head to trigger graze, pay attention so the enemies don't flank you and use the luger for dozers or enemies if they get too close, enjoy.
