You mean good enough to massacre some defenseless villagers and run back to the ships before actual soldiers arrive?

Vikings were just the niggers of europe back before they got actual niggers. And there isn't even a reliable historical source on "berserkers" actually existing. At most it was likely a term for a household guard.

Hoplites, be it Spartans, Athenians, Thebans etc actually fought enemy soldiers in pitched battles on a regular basis. And Spartans were full time soldiers unlike most other city states.

>berserkers were enraged warriors

Berserkers, as we imagine them, didn't exist. They were good warriors, yes. But they weren't invincible, ravenous shield-biting faggots.

Think Achilles for Agamemnon. They were champions with great skills, who did the dirty work for their rulers. The Berserkers wore bear shirts instead of chainmail, because they were expected to fight random people for feuds and shit.

There's no evidence they took psychedelics, Germanic paganism generally didn't glorify dying in battle. They were often viewed by the Norse as villains as well, often relegated to stock "bad guy" roles in the sagas.

An Arabic diplomat who discovered the Vikings wrote back to his leaders that the Norse men were seven feet tall, made of stone, covered from head to toe in green tattoos of tree branches, had magnificent white hair, well groomed beards down to their stomachs, and carried large maces, axes and spears nearly as big as his owner men. He reported them to be very polite and welcoming despite the language barrier, fed him and his escorts, and then gave him gifts of jerked fish and a hair comb(high tech shit for the time) before he departed. He strongly recommended that they should never under any circumstances fuck with these people.

Also afterwards ran from the cops for miles and couldn't feel any tiring at all until I my body just collapsed and I slept it all off under a tree in a forest.

Needless to say never eat that shit again. Also the poison never leaves your body so even miniscule doses cumulate and ultimately destroy your liver.

He warned Arabs that the men of the north are polite and welcoming but if you get on their bad side they can be cruel and bloodthirsty.

This description has been repeated through out written history. Now a days when I look at Sweden I fear for the future. There is a growing anger boiling beneath the surface of Swedish, Norwegian and Finnish mainstream medias and once that spills out to the open there will be blood.

Beserkers weren't actually people fighting in the battle and going crazy all the time. In reality they were mostly people who would duel for those of power, and be given bear coats when they won. Hence the name berserker, not from going berserk.
>>
>>31175660
This whole berserk thing is a complete made up meme. They were champion warriors wearing a bear skin and fighting over local feuds. They did not consume mushrooms or go crazy, they did not fight naked or whatever. These are just pure made up myths.

>>31177071
The problem I have with the Hussar crap is that they get praise as a particular example in a context when heavy cavalry held a very important role. Obviously they weren't bad, but obviously a heavy cavalry was going to change the tide of battles in a time when that's what heavy cavalries did. I'm just saying it gets too much bias in its favour basically.
>>31178891
They seem to have changed how war was fought all over Europe, but on their own they lacked the capabilities of a complete army.

They illustrate what I meant with the Hussars, they weren't just good pikemen when pikemen were the shit, they made pikemen become the shit.
>>
>>31180507
Perhaps the confusion is in translation, perhaps same name could describe two different things (like indian), but such warrior existed whatever their name may be

The earliest surviving reference to the term "berserker" is in Haraldskvæði, a skaldic poem composed by Thórbiörn Hornklofi in the late 9th century in honor of King Harald Fairhair, as ulfheðnar ("men clad in wolf skins"). This translation from the Haraldskvæði saga describes Harald's berserkers:

I'll ask of the berserks, you tasters of blood,
Those intrepid heroes, how are they treated,
Those who wade out into battle?
Wolf-skinned they are called. In battle
They bear bloody shields.
Red with blood are their spears when they come to fight.
They form a closed group.
The prince in his wisdom puts trust in such men
Who hack through enemy shields.

The Icelandic historian and poet Snorri Sturluson (1179–1241) wrote the following description of berserkers in his Ynglinga saga:

His (Odin's) men rushed forwards without armour, were as mad as dogs or wolves, bit their shields, and were strong as bears or wild oxen, and killed people at a blow, but neither fire nor iron told upon them. This was called Berserkergang.
>>
>>31178906

How no?

They consistently fought and did pretty well in almost every area of the Classical and Ancient world. Vikings killed Monks.

If you want to retract your statement and say "Germanic" berserkers, ok. The Norse really didn't have many Berserkers. And the few they did were just a bunch of peasant killers.

The older Germanic tribes like the Suebi had them and used them in a bit more varied ways against more than just a bunch of sheep herders.

As did the Celts. The Celts didn't make a name for themselves from burning down monasteries. They made a name scaring the fuck out of the rest of the known world, and being prized bodyguards by royalty of numerous different cultures. Or mercenaries.

Most of them didn't even fight or fire their weapons at other people. Today's training is based on hundreds of years of research on how to make killing reflexive. Check out Lindybeige's video on shellshock/PTSD. It's a well put together discussion on PTSD, and he discusses how training has changed to make soldiers much more likely to shoot to kill in a war scenario, and how that affects them after they're done fighting. It's a very well researched topic if you look into it.

As long as we're including fictional military units, the ODST from the Halo series were an extremely effective force, just as much as the Spartans from the same series but without being roided up

ITT: Nobody understanding the difference between warrior and soldier, and not being able to distinguish between individual prowess vs. group performance.

If we're not limiting this to history, and based on pure effectiveness I'd definitely say modern SF so long as they have access to equipment. Historically, I think there are plenty of cultures who had warriors of equal capability.

This is a bait/shitpost thread anyway, so what does it it matter?

Don't lose your trust to /k/ bro.

A warrior comprises of two different characters: a soldier and a fighter.

What a soldier brings to the table is his confidence.
What a fighter brings to the table is his resolve.

The first thing to become a soldier is that you receive a proper training. You can't do much about that except to trust in it.

The second thing to become a soldier is to understand the training. The instructor and the trainee work together here. 50/50 for understanding the case.

The third thing is that the trainee takes the training seriously. Seriously. There are things called 10% rule and blue falcons and whatnot, still this is about only you and you alone.

Soldiers are trained. Not so with Fighters.

Fighters are raised. Fighters defend values important to them, and they do it naturally.

Although a fighter would be the worst thing to be on a battlefield, he has chosen his side and his people.

I have worked with textbook soldiers who were useless in combat, and I have seen outstanding fighters with zero trained soldier's confidence, no real skills, no established teamwork, no logical tactics. Still the Resolve at max.

thats fucking horse shit. they went in caves with flamethrowers and incinerated nips alive. they fought on tiny islands with tens of thousands of people. against an enemy that didnt surrender. so if you think they weren't shooting to kill then how the fuck did they take those islands?

1. Varg = closest thing we have to a modern viking
2. What he's saying makes perfect sense, but one theory I heard (which I'm not saying is true it's just a theory) is that one men would ingest the mushrooms then urinate and the rest of the berserkers would drink his urine which allowed them to still get the psychological effects without the physical ailment side effects of ingesting mushrooms mixed with mead. Again this is just a theory, but I think it's a pretty interesting one. Would suck to be the first poor bastard, but at the same time you don't have to drink piss so that's a plus.

>These developed throughout the war. British and French forces were using fairly modern infantry tactics by the offensives of 1917.

That's only partially true. The Germans learned from Brusilov Offensive.

That's what shamans do (note shaman is a siberian term and the practice you describe is siberian). There is no evidence of ethnogen use by vikings. The mushroom meme comes from a dude in the 1800s speculating if the famed be servers used practices similar to the siberian.

You're either a christcuck trying to make Germanic Pagans look bad or a retard.

Space Marines are the best possible human Warriors

They are
-trained since childhood after a rigorous selection process and have usually decades of combat experience. They are also indoctrinated to be completely loyal to the Imperium and live only for Battle, meaning they fight wit religious Fanatism
-genetically improved, over 2m tall, can lift a fuckton and are all round super-humans.
They dont die of aging and are basically in the best possible shape a human can get as a warrior
-equipped with the best Weapons and Armor to offer, they have assault rifles that shoot little rockets and Power armors that are nearly indestructible

You cant think of better warriors than Warhammer 40ks Space Marines

Thunder warriors, primarchs, custodes, special chapters (black dragons for example) all beat normal space marines.

And let's not forget that the god emperor is a more than a match for any primarch.
