==IRL== [[File:640px-ILΓ der Bundeswehr am 24.09.2012 -- Panzergr.jpg|300px|right|thumb|Can we go back? Its cold here.]] While lacking the ferocious fanaticism of their fascist forefathers, Cold War troops knew that they would be among the first to bear the brunt of the first and, likely, most powerful attack of the Soviet armies stationed in Germany, that had roughly the same manpower as Bundeswehr. With the East Germans seeking to crush capitalism and unite Germany under a Communist system, the West Germany would certainly do its' best to defeat them, do the same with their own government, and retake all the ''Lebensraum'' stolen by Poland after WW2 while at it. Despite the Germans' reputation for technological superiority, the riflemen of the day were equipped with G3 battle rifles. While hardly a terrible weapon, it was definitely showing its age on the modern battlefield compared to the US M16 or the Soviets' AK74. Fortunately, machine gun technology has hardly advanced since the days of World War 2. Rather than reinventing the wheel, the MG3 is merely a modernized MG42 (re-chambered to use the 7.62mm NATO round and with an improved bolt to up reliability and also to bring the rate of fire down to a comfortable 900-1000 RPM, since the MG42's 1200 RPM was understandbly deemed overkill). The Bundeswehr's frontline infantry is split into two main groups; the Panzergrenadiers and the Jagers. While Jagers specialized in rough terrain like forests and swamps, both have similar armaments though the Jagers carry slightly lighter weaponry (possibly fewer panzerfausts). Panzergrenadiers specialized in supporting armor; meaning urban combat and basic reconnaissance where tanks may be vulnerable. Jagertruppen could easily be represented by the M113 Panzergrenadiers, considering the similarities! {{West German Forces in Team Yankee}}
