User blog comment:SPARTAN 119/Nazi Germany vs The East Europan Imperial Alliance (Valkyria Chronicles)/@comment-5232784-20150211232119

OKay we give this go-go!

1. Infantry weapons

Pistols: Both the luger and the Imperial pistol are practically the same weapon, but the armor of the Imperials gives them added protection from small arms fire than the uniforms and helmets of the Germans.

EDGE: East Europan Imperial Alliance

Semi-auto Rifles: the ZM Kar 1 has similar range and the same number of bullets as the Gewehr 43, but with smaller bullets. the ZM Kar 1 is much lighter, which enables a faster draw and faster overall movement for the soldier, but considering that the Imperial soldiers wear armor, this speed advantage wont be much, if at all. And lets not forget that the Gewehr can be fitted with a scope, increasing its effective range from 500 to 800 meters: The ZM Kar 1 does not have that capability.

EDGE: Nazi Germany!

SMG: the ZM MP4 has 30 rounds, and fires 9mm bullets. The MP40 has the exact same size rounds, but with two extra bullets (I'm assuming they have the same range...?). Due to the two extra bullets, the MP40 has the edge.

EDGE: Nazi Germany

Sniper rifles: The ZM SG-1 seems to be the more accurate weapon (it is especially noted for its accuracy, while the German Kar 98K, though capable of hitting people at 1000 meters, is not so lauded for accuracy in comparison to the ZM SG-1), and has twice the bullets. The ZM SG-1 also is not stated to have a slow rate of fire, unlike the German weapon. More accuracy, twice the number of bullets, and a faster rate of fire...the Imperials will be picking off their German enemies faster than the Germans will be picking off Imperials, and will be able to pick off up to at least twice as much (with the better accuacy, those ten bullets will hit their targets better than the five of the German rifle, so we could see less than five Imperials dead to ten German dead, in terms of bullets used in a single magazine).

However, the ZM SG-1 it does not have the capability to be equipped with a supressor or grenade launcher. Still, the accuracy and faster rate of fire will give the Imperials the edge here.

EDGE: East Europan Imperial Alliance

Anti-tank weapons: the VB PL 2 Anti-Tank Lance has the same range as the Panzershreck, but with a much bigger projectile. This thing is going to be a nightmare for the crews of the bigger German tanks. It will probably blow a hole right through a King Tiger! Not only is it reusable like the Panzerschreck, but unlike it, it is reloadable. The only drawback to it is that the bigger the missile, most likely the bigger the weapon as a whole, and therefore heavier (and with a soldier already weighed down some by armor, this can inhibit speed). Still, the Ant-Tank lance is by far the better weapon.

EDGE: East Europan Imperial Alliance

The Imperials win in the pistols, but the Sub Machine Guns and semi automatic rifles are in the German's favor. The Imperial sniper rifle is an awesome long range weapon, and the Anti-Tank Lance will slaughter the German Tanks (Germans heavily relied on Tanks in combat). Combined with the 3 to 2 weapons advantage, I conclude that the Germans lose badly in the firearms department

FIREARMS EDGE: EAST EUROPA IMPERIAL ALLIANCE
