I think the stormtroopers would still win. They have superior firepower -- blasters pack a punch, especially when their enemies aren't wearing any armor -- and they have extra mobility if you consider jumptroopers (the dudes with the jetpacks, who also exist in canon) and scout troopers with their speeder bikes.
I don't think that blaster bolts in Star Wars experience notable bullet drop -- their trajectory seems to be straight -- though because they're made of plasma they probably lose their "shape" and velocity before they can go far out of trajectory if they go far enough without hitting anything.
That in mind, though, their blasters are probably more accurate.
Also, I think the sturmtruppen's tactics wouldn't work well against the Empire's stormtroopers, as the Empire's stormtroopers have tactics similar to theirs except they have better tech and more efficient communication (comms in helmets). Gas probably wouldn't work against them because of their helmet filters. If both sides have artillery, the (Galactic Empire's) stormtroopers are 100% winning.
As we see in the movies, the Empire's match in tactics was actually guerilla tactics, not being fought head on or trench warfare (which we see a bit of in Solo.)
Also I guess it depends on how you want to see the stormtroopers in Star Wars, but I feel the general consensus is just that the protagonists have mega plot armor when it comes to them, and them not being able to see in their helmets isn't canon, just a gag (some people have explained it away as the helmets' extra features allowing more visbility to cease functioning when removed improperly -- I think this might be a thing in the Legends/EU but not canon?)
But yeah Long Live The Empire
I have a question I have been debating. In a one on one battle on a battlefield, which army would win, Star Wars Stormtroopers or WW1 German Sturmtruppen? The Stormtroopers have better tech but the Sturmtruppen use better tactics.
boba fett in the OG trilogy does something to me. it’s the helmet and the suit. and this little move…
lord have mercy.
