Utter,

Just for ease I'm going to puts up the quotes.

This is what I said ''2. Alot of those WW2 vs Modern Units were with fictional characters as well. Chances are thats not what you meant though. Rather you probably meant their are no such thing as Sith and Green Lanterns. I'm curious though why you think their fictional nature makes difference?''

This is your response

"It makes a obvious difference. While fictional characters' powers and abilities are left to the maker's imagination (super speed, stength, etc),"

This is true, but their abilities are not left to our imagination. We have sources of information page or screen that dictate and provide evidence of there abilities. In fact are awarness ability to find evidence is in some ways greater then then it is with actual people, we will never see Jesse James or a Spartan in combat where as we have seen Hal Jordan and Darth Vader in combat.

Do their abilities very widely between sources, sure some times, but thats still not an excuse to ignore said evidence. Rather we have to take it as whole.

"real people are reqtricted to reality. No matter how much you work out you will always die whenever you get your head chopped off. You will always succumb to enough injuries, IE: getting shot."

Even in real science and events out liers exist. Even real units and people have good days and bad days.

"Because of how much better training, intelliegence, and weapory now is compared to WWII, the fights are obviously unfair. Your inability to realize this makes you, for lack of a better word, fucking stupid."

Training is different now, we do have better comminication/intel that can be made available at "squad" level, but it tends to be provide from above "squad". The scenarios presented on this site tend to be meeting encounters with out support or communication with above "squad" elements. A situation that WW2 soldiers would not only be more used to, but better trained for. Modern units are used to and rely on sat info and instant communication.

So modern training isn't better per se, it different and intel at a squad level is no better with out support.

As for weapons on an infantry level many militaries are still using weapons designed before or during WW2. Not to mention the militia/guerilla/insurgent groups in places like Afghanistan who ruitinly manage to take on modern forces often with vintage weapons.

In other words a way fairer fight then a guy who frags planet vs a bad ass with a laser sword.
