I believe there may have been scoped variants of the Japanese Type-99 and German FG-42, but those would be really stretching for things. The new content drop, available now, includes a brand-new mission called Landing Force and two additional weapons, the D.L. Of course the usual German, Russian, and American weapons as most likely DLC options, but I think it'd also be interesting to allow perhaps the lighter machineguns such as the Bren, BAR, DP-28, Type-99, and FG-42 to be unlockable options for the loadout instead of being onsite pick-up-only weapons. We'd probably get the chance to get a few more weapons in the theater too, such as the Arisaka making a return (featured in SE3), Nambu pistol, a prototype Japanese semi-automatic rifle of which only a very tiny number were made, and the rare Type-100 SMG. And if that doesn't cut it, we can also go after the Ohka Bombers, the rocket-powered kamikaze piloted bombs to help minimize the amount of ordinance going to hit Allied fleets. With the introduction of non-lethal techniques to deal with your enemy, and more focus on stealth and hiding bodies, Sniper Elite 5 is starting to feel more like a Hitman game. There's also potential to go rescue British, Dutch, and American POWs depending on the island, or missions/objectives involving taking samples and photographs of potential amphibious landing sites to help prepare for upcoming invasions.Īs for superweapons, we could also have a mission or two set for finding out about the IJA's plans for their own super tanks, such as the O-I tank which historically might've only been a paper project or at least hardly past the mock-up stage, much like how we sabotaged the P.1000 Ratte in SE3. Sniper Elite 5 is the latest entry in Rebellion Developments popular sniping series. Some missions can involve taking out high value officers, sabotaging artillery emplacements like AA guns and coastal guns, taking out ammunition depots and interfering with Japanese submarine pens.
