User blog comment:Sergei Alexi Borichinov/Task Force 1337's "Black Squad" vs. COBRA's "Crimson Guard"/@comment-11329992-20130628184928

Ok let's see....

Training: The Taskforce seem to train in almost all aspects of combat. They appear to have more experiences in almost all combat scenarios than the Crimson Guard. So I'll give a point to the Black Squad.

Armor: The Dragon Skin Kevlar Vests and the I.C.K.A.H. can offer a lot of protections for the users. We don't really know what type of kevlar armor the Crimson Guard use, but since they have face masks, they can protect themselves for a little longer. However, the Black Squad appear to have more superior armor. A point to Black Squad

Melee: Since the Crimson Squad have a bayonet, they can attack their opponent from a longer distance since they can attach their bayonet to their rifle. Edge= Crimson Squad

Close Range: FN Five-seveN pistol is lighter and has more range than the MP443 pistol. Edge goes to the Black Squad.

Medium Range: The P90 has a supressor, which would enhance stealth. However, the AK-74 has longer range and would inflict more damage. So both would have the edge.

Long Range: They both have SVD rifle, but the FN FAL has larger rounds than M16 (7.62x51mm NATO > 5.56x45mm NATO) and therefore, can inflict more damages. The M16, however, has a faster rate of fire and would be lighter than the FAL. Result=Even

Explosive: Since the Black Squad have C-4 and Flashbangs, the edge goes to the Black Squad.

Special: The cornershot can provide damages to the opponents but the blast shield can protect users for a period of time. Result= Even

Support Vehicle: The HISS tank has more weaponry, better protection, and bigger than the SWORDS UGV. For this, the Crimson Guard have the edge.

My veridict: Black Squad. They appear to have better training and better weapons and equipments.
