To start you need to know what basic BASIC German weapons there are, and which one fits your situation or combat style best. The KAR98k Rifle is your common and in my opinion the best gun you will get. It can fire at long ranges and is 90% of the time a one shot kill. The other most common would be the MP40 or Machine pistol 40. It is also a good gun but has a much shorter range, and has a odd sight. It's a lot easier to aim in third person. (Recomended for experineced soldiers to use). A not so Common, but the "best of both worlds" gun you may see is your STG44 or MP44. It is a much better weapon then the MP40. It has better range, accuracy , and a large magazine. If your looking for a gun that has the automatic firing capability of the MP40, but the range and power of the Kar98K. This is the gun you want . one weapon, witch I have not seen on a blitzkrieg map so far is the Gewehr 42. Its just a semi auto rifle. Nothing too great there,(edit) is as good as the KAR. It has a sight more similar to the MP40 however so in my opinion it's not as easy to aim. Then your machine gun, the MG42 is a high powered machine gun and can kill in one hit but has a magazine of only 40 rounds, if its the mobile one. The mounted MG42(Which if you have a few extra buddies with you can disassemble it and carry the w parts of the gun to a new location if needed) has something like 200. Then Your Panzerschreck used to get tanks, of course. Remember to hit the tracks, fuel tanks, or back of the main gun, witch works for me all the time. Hope this helped you work the German weaponry in this game more effectively. PS This is not meant to be historic but what I found to be best way of using weapons during my gameplay.
