Tybaltcapulet's " The White Death returns to kill Sniper Elite"Edges:

Sniper Rifles:  I'd like to see proof the Simo mostly used a modified Sako M28-30(what he actually used, yes it's semantics but they are different, there were only 10 M/39s even completed by the end of the Winter War ) at only 800 yds, as his max range you've shown is about 2000m or more. I also doubt Simo will be inaccurate with the weapon, you know, being the deadliest sniper in history, in the less than optimal FInnish lands. I think he can use the Sako effectively at longer ranges than just 800 yds. The KAR 98 is by no means an inferior weapon by any other metric, superior round and equal capacity, but the skill of Simo as an unscoped sniper  and his massive advantage at range will help him overcome Karl and his KAR 98.Also, if he really needs to get up close and personal and doesn't have time to get out the KP-31, the unscoped Mosin Nagant can still quickly fire at Karl, where the scoped  KAR 98 will have a bitch of a time doing so. Edge: The White Death 

SMGs: I'm giving this straight the the PPSH's granddaddy. LIke the glorious PPSH-41 that designed itself off of, it has a monstrous fire rate, and destroys the Thompson in capacity. That's what an SMG is designed for, not for any long range engagement, but rapid-fire covering fire and the KP-31 is a much better option than the Thompson for this role.Edge: The White Death 

X-Factors/Overall: The White Death or Simo Häyhä,claims another victim against the Sniper Elite. Simo is simply a better sniper with better weaponry. Yeah Karl has that nice slow-mo stuff, and insane accuracy, but here's the thing, so does Simo, and he can do it without reliance upon a scope. There's literally no need to shoot a freaking moving tank in this battle, you're dealing with one sniper vs one sniper, that level of accuracy doesn't matter, and Simo will be able to hit Karl if he gets a good shot. Also based on the Experience, Simo has actually faced enemy snipers before, where Karl lacks this experience. And Simo has at least 15 years of experience,from 1925 all the way to 1940, where an explosive round struck him and he retired shortly after.

Training wise, i'll give it to Karl, as he has OSS training and special infiltrator training while Simo just got basic infantryman training. Fighting styles goes straight to Simo. You're forgetting one thing guys, this is Simo's territory, with a lack of urban area, and Karl is pretty unfamiliar with it. Simo will immediately know how to take advantage his skills and the land to screw over Karl and his terrain strategy. Karl attempting to aggressively make his way towards Simo will put him right in the sights of the M/28-30, where he'll have major difficulty. Sure he can try to set up traps, but I doubt they'll be of any major use throughout the battle. Simo Häyhä is the more experienced, better armed sniper, with a major terrain advantage, which can negate Karl's strategy almost entirely. Also Karl isn't used to a sniper with such a great camoflauge, and this will certainly mess with his overall accuracy.

Simo Häyhä: 3000

Karl Fairburne: 2000
