OK i have to jump in here about the german tools of ww2. Yes they did have some pretty advanced weapons compared to the allies in the early years of the war 39-42

But once america joined in thier advances in certain areas were not so proment.

First, lets compare infantry weapons.

Main field infantry weapon of the US(rifle)
-M1 Grande .30-06 Semi auto 8 round emi-block clip

Main Field infantry weapon of the German Army (rifle)
-8mm K98k bolt action w/ 5 round internal mag.

I own both of these weapons and shot both weekly at my local firing range. The M1 grande is a supior weapon

why?

1.30-06 is a more powerful then the 8mm, higher velocity and better stopping power
2.You can fire 8 rounds and reload with the ingenius block clip 10 times faster then u can with a k98k using bolt action and a stripper clip


Main sub machine gun US- Thompson/Grease Gun

Main Sub Machine Gun Ger- MP40

.45acp owns a 9mm... trust me
Stoping power and higher cailber


Main Pistol US- Colt cailber .45 semi Auto 1911

Main Pistol Ger- Walther p38, Luger 9mm

same reason as above, stoping power and higher cailber
I own both btw (p38/1911)

As for machine guns, i would take a mg42 over a 30cal browning just because the mg42 had proven its self to be the best ww2 machine gun of the war.


Now off to the aircraft

Who had the better bombers= US
WHy?- Germany had no true hvy bomber. Thus it couldnt deliver the payloads as thier american counterparts could.


Who had the better air craft- US
Why?- Earlier in the war 39-43 Germany had the advantages in numbers of aircraft, and the Folk wolf aircraft was thier best fighter of the war.
But in the long run compared to the US, the Mustang was a fair supior aircraft, in speed and manvablity.


Tanks-
German had the best tanks hands down, both in armor and firepower (88mm tiger owned)

However what they lacked were numbers and reliablity, against the US, and russians they couldnt compete. Russians were using the T34 as thier primary tank which was a American design manufactured in mass numbers in Siberia in Russia. It was very quick compared to the germans and had good fire power for its size.

Same goes for the Shermans, however the shermans had horrible armor compared to the german tanks, and they lite up like a match box if they got hit.


Field Guns-
German 88mm Field gun was the best gun in the war.
Why?
1. Range
2.Firepower
3.All purpose gun, AA,AI,AT you name it, it couldnt kill it

So yea hope that clears up some stuff for you guys, i would type more but i think i got my point accross.
