User blog comment:SPARTAN 119/Hans von Zettour (Youjo Senki) VS Irving Morrel (Timeline 191)/@comment-35617681-20191011032003

Kriller99's "Timeline Senki" Edges:

Sidearms: In addition to having the larger bullet, the .45 handgun has a larger effective range by 20 meters. The only advantage the Luger has is that it has one extra bullet, but that's pretty negligible. Edge: Morrel

Rifles: Did some research, and the M1903's muzzle velocity is 853.4 m/s, so it's pretty comparable to the Mauser. In addition, the US government paid money to the inventor of the Mauser to use some of its parts in the M1903 thus making them both nearly identical. So, yeah, this is pretty much completely even all across the board.

Grenades: They're the same weapon, so even

Machine Guns: Again, these are pretty similar, but I'm giving the edge to the US machine gun because of the aforementioned tendency to use the Mg08 at a range of only 500 meters in direct fire. Even if its full range is taken into account, the US machine gun has the potential to fire over twice its effective range.

Heavy Weapons: The stovepipe has the greater range, the user isn't as liable to accidentally hurt themselves if they aren't careful, and you can stay out of the flames' reach

Tanks: Not gonna lie, I have no idea how important tanks are in a battle. I've always been more interested in infantry. That said, I'd say Irving's tank wins here because of how the Confederates used a similar tank that's better-armored and how the Mark 2.5 Barrel was able to exploit its weaknesses. In addition, it also has the more powerful main gun, which will help against the Panzer's armor

WInner: IRVING MORREL! He has the edge in the x-factors and the better technology (excluding tanks, but that's what the Stovepipe's for). His troops are also carrying slightly more effective weapons, which will help supplant whoever's operating the tank. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, he has more experience and has fought similar foes to Hans (Ie, Nazi-esque armies with slightly better armaments) and beaten them in the past.
