User blog comment:Deathblade 100/Season 3 Opener: Volkssturm vs Home Guard/@comment-24664052-20160116024408



LONG RANGE:

Even



The M1917 Enfield and SMLE outranges the Volkssturmgewehr and Karabiner 98K, but in a close quarters combat in urban areas where these militias are most likely to operate, the VSG will prove to be handy in narrow areas.



MID-RANGE:

Thompson



The Thompson barely beats the MP 3008 thanks to its larger ammunition that can deal bigger wounds.



CLOSE-RANGE:

Walther P38



The Webley packs a bigger punch, but the Walther P38 is simpler to operate and reload. In battle, speedy and immediate response is everything.



<p class="MsoNormal">SPECIAL:

<p class="MsoNormal">Molotov cocktail

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">As El Alamein said, the Einstossflammenwerfer is a one-trick pony. It may have further range, but it's very heavy, and the one-shot limit of it only worsens its disadvantages. While the Molotov cocktail is a one-shot weapon too, at least you can carry more of them and maybe have an opportunity to surprise-attack your enemy without having to keep your attack on him and make yourself vulnerable.

<p class="MsoNormal">WINNER: Volkssturm

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">The Home Guard has the benefits of better weapons, logistics and training, but that barely compensates for the experience and toughness the Volkssturm endured and despite that, the Volkssturm managed to give the Allies and Soviets a hard time even if they lost in the end. The Volkssturm has the benefit of undergoing trial by fire and having the opportunity to give all they got with only what they have.
