Default WP/Nato: Infantry discussion !

Well let´s compare a bit

1. Infantry:

Rifles: Pretty much the same since all rifles are rated the same value in the game.

MG´s: The germans have MG3 which is one of the best, all other MGs are also with only slight differences the same. Both sides have some heavy MGs which are pretty much the same also.

Squad AT weapons: The russians have a slight edge here with the RPG7 and RPG7(v). Better than le. Pz. Faust + LAWs. British have later a good weapon: LAW80. Also some western nations still use the Carl Gustav which is quite good also. WP uses some recoiless rifles also. So for me, the east wins on a slight margin here. USA is quite weak with the LAW which has compared to german and eastern weapons smaller range and a bit smaller HEAT pen.

Explosives/handgrenades/flame wepaons: The same with the exception of the WP flame rocket (name?). The US have a rocket flame weapon also but it seems not so widespread used and also only a short time used in the period in question. Both sides have 30mm or 40mm GLs. So a slight edge for the WP.

Pistols/SMGs etc. : No big differences that are worth to be named here.

Exp. / Mor / Special troops: The western nations are slightly better, but DDR and Czech are also good on the eastern side. Both sides have good special forces and paras.

So for INFANTRY i say the WP wins with slightly better weapons.

Discuss INFANTRY now !
NO TANKS, NO ARTY, NO missiles...these topics come later.

You must give an explaination here of you vote in the poll
