119's "MY NAME IS VIKTOR REZNOV AND I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!" Edges


 * Handguns: The Tokarev takes the edge for the superior stopping power of its 7.65mm necked-down round, giving it a greater muzzle velocity. Edge: Viktor Reznov


 * Rifles: Both weapons are bolt-action rifles with a five-round magazine, meaning they are close enough to be called Even


 * SMGs: The MP-40 was a reasonably effective weapon, but suffered from issues with the magazine which meant that it was often only kept partially loaded with about 18 rounds. The PPSH has a simple, but rugged design, lacking some of the fancier features of the MP40, such selective fire, but it did one thing, but it did it really well: spray bullets with its 900 RPM and large drum magazine allowing the user to lay down sustained fire or sweeping a room or trench at close range. Edge: Viktor Reznov


 * Explosives: The RGD-33 was a fragmentation grenade designed to produce more shrapnel and have a wider killing radius, while having a similar range. Edge: Viktor Reznov


 * X-Factors: Skorzeny scores higher for tactics and possibly training as well. The two are about even for combat experience. As for brutality, Skorzeny was as brutal as any soldier of the Third Reich, while the brutality Reznov displays in World At War was definitely typical of many Soviet soldiers in the Second World War. Finally, an additional thing I'm going to add, considering this is a battle for the city of Berlin itself, Skorzeny's men area going to be suffering in terms of morale and logistics, having little ammunition and other supplies by this point in the war. Even


 * Overall Winner: While Otto Skorzeny definitely is more experienced and tactically minded, the fact remains that he is fight in a losing battle. By the time of the Battle of Berlin, any chance of holding back the Soviet horde was long gone. Skorzeny's men will cause severe casualties among the Russians, much as the Germans did in real life, but ultimately, history will be changed very little, and the Red Army, and by extension, Viktor Reznov, with their better weapons, logistics, and morale will triumph.
