who the best special force/elites?
« on: April 08, 2011, 09:48:32 AM »
yes as my topic say it

I am asking you comrade who from this list based on elite/spec op unit featured in Coh
who you think the best not based on game but in real war. why you think this
I encourage you i think there no right or wrong answer. I like your opinions plz so dont be shy to share

1.Soviet shock/assault Guard
2.US Army Ranger
3.The Fallschirmjager
4.British Commando/SAS
5.Knights cross(we will say they are the nazi SS)
6.Your favorite not on here? Share them and so community may learn

my vote go to the shock guard because no nation can match Soviet might and fanatacism. assault guard are hard as nails occompanied by commisar to fight to the last man morale unbreakable for glorious motherland! full political indoctrinization was assured much like the zealous SS truppe
additonally soviet were plenty more than enemy and could not stop red tide

I also like to add honorable mention to the SS, as much as i dislike the fascist they were elites in morale and fighting ability.
and I think the US Rangers was the best equipped logistically
why you think comrade?
is you favorite underrated? under equipped speak now or forever hold a piece

The one with most health, best armor, most useful abilities, shortest cool-down timers, best against tanks and infantry, and also the fastest and skull-crushing global vet. So just look up all these parameters in corsix and find out what the answer is.

Oh!
Then I say, it's soviet guards, since they become  guards as a reward for outstanding military accomplishments. I'm not talking about individuals, but the whole regiments - that scale, since individuals are a great variety.
Actually, it's the marines - both individually and at regimental scale (black sea, baltic sea, north sea, pacific ocean fleets), but they aren't in your list. They are the best of the best 'till nowadays in the entire russian military, and they've been considered that since forever.

if you ask about real WWII, so then remove Knight's Cross Holders - they never existed. Nazi SS? You mean Waffen SS?

And my vote goes for USA Rangers! As an infiltration unit they could spent months behind enemy lines, like they did in France.

I think this post will be closed because topics created by fanboys are always dangerous and a flame-machine in every forum.

Anyway, I vote for SAS, without doubts.

In no particular order.

Brandenburgers (German Special Forces).
British Commando's SAS/ SBS (Para's and Royal Marines included).
1st Special Service Force (Devil's Brigade).
Chindits (British India/Gurkha). Gurkha's to this day are still regarded as some of the finest infantrymen in the world. 

I know about the Shock/Guard status of the Soviet Union, just unfamiliar with any individual units. I do know that Soviet Paratroopers were quite elite.

Did the Soviet Union during WW2 have any Spetnaz type units?

Oh, you really think?  ;D

For me, every army has its elite forces, so I won't pick a particular choice, as they all are quiet able on the battlefield!
