>British infantryman of 1914 has the exact same weapon as British infantryman of 1939
>Yet for some reason a infantry section of 1939 is considered to have vastly more combat power than a section of 1914

Explain homosexuals? There is no rational excuse for this

    The 1939 infantryman has air support, tank support, and maybe a radio he can call in artillery.
    Also, a helmet, which 1914 man did not have.

      None of which is organic to an infantry section

      Squad level lmgs, company level mortars and hmgs, dedicated transportation options and in general better infantry training and battle drill than either "shoot this target really really accurately" or "just fricking dump lead downrange"

      These, plus not having to walk everywhere, or rely on horse drawn carriage.

    For comparison a British battalion in WWI consisted of a 30 officers and 977 of all other ranks, consisting of a headquarters, 4 infantry companies and 1 machine gun section. A machine gun section consisted of a total of... 2 machine guns.

    The machine gun is an overrated weapon.

    Literally just how they were trained. Your average platoon in 1939 was trained to use cover, concealment, LMGs, smoke, and arty/mortar support to take enemy positions. NCOs we’re trained tk better keep track of their now very well dispersed formations and attacks, officers could use this dispersion to counter the effectiveness of artillery. Warfare changed. You could argue the difference between 1914 and 1939 (in reality 1918) is that they learned to properly conduct modern infantry tactics as we know it.
