who would be of better use to the military

What I don't undertsand it can't someone just fire a single missle at cap and hit him from above?The explosion would hit him correct?

Captain America is completely useless in a real war...

yup and even as propaganda he'd be laughed at in the real world.

Well change his costume to look less garish perhaps. (but the shield stays red white and blue)

The shield absorbs mechanical energy, so unlike a real dude with a shield trying to tank a missile Cap won't get smashed like a bug by the force, in fact he'll barely fell it.

No in there right mind is going to laugh at a guy who take on 200 armed soldiers on his own and win... with just a shield. 😮

I'm talking about like an all encompassing blast.I know the shield would take it but if a missle or something hit him so as the explosion just plain "curved around" the shield wouldn't it kill him?It just seems like an easy tactic to kill him people don't use.Does that make sense?

Like I said, the shield absorbs energy. Hitting his shield with a missile is essentially taking the damage and timesing it by zero. There won't be any force to curve around the shield, the shield will have eaten it all.

I'm not sure if it vibranium can absorb heat energy of the top of my heat though so maybe that could get him.

Colossus. There is nothing the army can do to put him down.

...you completely missed what I just said.Cap and point his shield in any one direction.If a blasts does explosion a 360 all around him his sheild wouldn't be able to absorb all the energy.This seems like an easy tactic never used.

Oh, like several simultaneous blasts coming from different points of origin. That should do the trick.

Wasn't exactly what I was thinking but yeah you get the point.I mean he was in WW2.How was he not just from several directions at a time.

Even americans would laugh at his looks and name, let alone the rest of the world. He'd make a good tactical analyst, but nobody in their right minds would follow steroid boy wearing a flag and carrying a shield into battle.

Anyway, there's no PIS or CIS in te real world, so peak human types would be screwed. He'd get gunned down fairly quickly by non hydra fodder soldiers in real combat. Actual explosions also create shrapnel and that shield can't cover his whole body.

ive posted scans of cap getting nearly killed by a blast he blocked with the shield , it doesnt absorb 100% kinetic motion

If Cap is the physically the same in the real world as he is in comics, no real soldier is even going to see the guy move. He isn't going to get gunned down. Shrapnel might get him but that just depends, sometimes his shield is enough to cover his entire body when he is crouched up... sometimes it isn't. This is a guy who - at minimum - is ten times faster than anyone in the real world. Don't undersell him, he would tear apart a platoon of soldiers in the real world.

Guerilla bombs
Snipers
Landmines
Gas

Just 4 things that would pretty much instant kill him. Cap is useless in the real world. 1on1 against soldiers sure, but in a war no way.

Parm is right.Cap would be a good 1 on 1 challenge but a single good sniper takes him down for good.

Well, humans with guns can still shoot things that move ten times faster than humans, specially with semiautomatic weapons that let one spray the area with bullets.

And cap's sheild can still deflect them.
