The fact of the matter is HK is a few levels higher than Walther.
How? Please provide some objective facts to back this up, or there's more than one fanboi operating in this thread.
They don't need to copy anything ever created by Walther. If anything Walther's PPQ ergonomics and slide designed was copied direclty off the P30,
No, it wasn't. The PPQ is a development of the P99RAD / P99Q, which were themselves developments of the P99. There are some cosmetic similarities between the two, but I don't think, objectively, that there's anything on the P30 which was so totally different from every other pistol out there that you can point to it and say that Walther or anyone else "copied" it.
which took it's designs from the HK45 which was in cooperation with a few notable operators who has actually seec combat action.
H&K have traded on their "it's for Operators!" thing for years, and while that in and of itself doesn't diminish their products, to think that any of the major manufacturers who make pistols which are used for LE and Military use all over the world design and test the things without input from people who know what they're talking about is naive.
In the end, they're both fantastic pistols. I love my HK, and in fact it's the only .45 I've held on to through a conversion to 9mm only for my centerfire pistols. I also own a PPS and love it for different reasons. I'd like to own a PPQ for even more different reasons.
