User blog comment:Sergei Alexi Borichinov/Task Force 1337's "Black Squad" vs. COBRA's "Crimson Guard"/@comment-4978251-20130628061630

Melee- The custom knife is nice, but the bayonet is better for combat as it is a knife and can attach to a rifle for longer reach. Edge- Crimson Guard

Pistol- The Five Seven has more rounds and is enhanced for better performance. Edge- Black Squad

Mid Range- The AK has more range, more accuracy, and is firing a more powerful round (I think, I am no expert of rounds). Edge- Crimson Guard

Long Range 1- They both have the same sniper. Edge- Even

Long Range 2- The M16 has more range and is modified for superior performance. Edge- Black Squad

Explosive- The Black Squad has a variety of explosives, but the Grenade is more straightforward then the M86 (which is a grenade like mine) and C4, and higher lethality then the flashbang. Edge- Crimson Guard

Special- This is even as the shielf can protect from bullets and be used as an improvised melee weapon, but the cornershot is more lethal. Edge- Even

Armor- I say even as the Squads armor is custom, but the masks are likely superior to the helmets. Edge- Even

Training- The Squad seems to have better physical training, but the Crimson Guard appears have better mental training and loyalty. Edge- Even

Support Vehicle- The HISS tank is a tank with 2 rocket launchers, 2 .30 cal machine guns, 2 40mm anti tank guns, and a flamethrower, compared to the one machine gun and grenade launcher. Plus superior armor while still being fast for a tank. Edge- Crimson Guard

Overall- I have to say Crimson Guard has this. They are packing more then one assualt rifle type which means all of them have a assualt rifle while some members will have a shorter range and less accurate SMG, have superior mental conditioning, a far superior vehicle that will destroy the opposing vehicle quickly then tear through the normal Black Squad soldiers. The face mask and shield add extra protection from bullets. And the Crimson Guard are carrying better melee and an extra melee in the form of the shield.

Overall- Crimson Guard
