Pensioner Invasion - Sniper Elite 5 

very true

nice

Add the marksmen's barrel.

haha

So he starts digging trenches and using mustard gas?

"Right Behind You"

That was so much fun

Worst/Best part is he probably knows and has his camera right on you, but there's nothing he can do about it because he's on the call with the phone.

Would've been nice if you booby-trapped the phones so the enemy sniper gets exploded if he tried to use one of the phones.

It's a German spy

Agreed...

"Where is he?" Jager: "Right behind you."

the Great War

@@MB93 exactly, a real war

He's behinndddd youuuu

True

looks pretty awesome doesn't it

Thanks man, yeah I'll be getting more out, they're ridiculously fun

@@MB93 that’s what I like to hear!

Thanks man!

that guy was a bloody maniac

Ahhh man, that would be so good

quickest way to find out...

I think his mate saw me... YES. YES HE DID.

haha

Joe Biden hero of the Reich

Those dog faced pony-soldiers won’t know what hit ‘em

It's Joever 😂

The tension on those rematches is even more palpable

Ya, the lack of rematches when I lose an invasion combined with the long wait times for new matches even during prime time leads me to use very shady tactis. I will move positions fast enough to avoid getting auto tagged while camping a couple cheesy areas relentlessly, all without using the phones hoping the sniper won't notice the invasion. Very unfun for both of us. I used to just have fun trying to blend with the AI, now I gotta sweat just to do that so I use mines combined with map knowledge, to express frustration.

thanks man

can't wait to have some fun with the ghillie

@@MB93 i noticed they nurfed invasion. Now only 1 mine and grenade.

He was downed at 1:05 though, doesn't count

@@MB93 It said melee kill, so it counts...

me too!

You mean the squinty old guy who lives in a poor neighborhood?

@@andrewconde6115 Yes, the guy that said “All they took was the tires!”

haha, nice

it felt bad...

haha, yh

The magnifications you get playing on authentic are closer to what actually existed in WWII. They've just exaggerated the zoom on lower difficulties to make it easier. USMC did have the Unertl scope with 8x magnification, that became standard issue on their M1903s, I think not long after the beginning of the war (it's the A1 scope in game). They weren't made available to the regular army though, just marines. The 10x A2 scope did also exist, but I'm not sure that one was actually used. The German scopes on authentic difficulty range from about 3x to 6x (the 12x scope used in this video is 6x on authentic), which is more realistic as their actual scopes were mostly 4x, apart from the ZF41 which was only 1.5x (I think that one is 2x in game).

it adds a nice bit of extra tension though!

i've been told i sound like a budget version of jackfrags...

Varies to be honest, some sessions I only have to wait a couple of seconds each game, others about a minute

Try changing your region, especially if you're not playing in the evening/at night. South America is usually a good one when Europe is quiet. Rarely ever have to wait longer than 10-20 seconds.

Im good. I got my guilie suit

I play whoever I get. I enjoy the tougher ones but sometimes you get players that have just started out

It's great when you enter a match and a couple of minutes pass with zero alerts anywhere on the map. Usually means you're up against somebody half decent (or a camper that just surrounds themselves with mines). The long drawn out battles are the most fun I have on the game. Not sure 30+ minutes of tactical trickery makes for the best RU-vid video though.

what other sniper games would you recommend?

@@MB93EEEEEEEE COOL PERSON RESPONDED MAYBE THE PREVIOUS GAMES, SOME GHOST RECON, AND MARKSMAN

thankfully there weren't too many stairs

If you say so

the default stuff you are given for the invasions is a 6x scope. if you play it enough you can have longer range stuff though

On authentic difficulty, the best scope for the K98K is the ZF39 with 6x magnification, and for the Gewehr it's the ZF4 or PU with 3x (not sure why the ZF4 isn't 4x, because the same scope fitted to the MP44 is 4x). For the allied rifles, it's 10x for the M1903 (there was a scope that existed with 8x, though not sure about 10x or whether it was actually used), 6x for the SREM-1 and M1A, and 3x for the RSC 1918. They're all fixed at one magnification too, no zooming in/out. It's only on lower difficulties that you get stupid zoom. I think you have to give them some artistic licence, given they're making a game not a sim. In a lot of cases, they've gone with things that feasibly could have existed, rather than strictly things that actually did, and then stretched that a bit for the lower difficulties. That way, players get a bit more variation, rather than just 3 scopes that all have the same post reticle and similar zoom levels.

Karl gets 2 free uses of the phone (his location isn't revealed until the 3rd time), and can use it right from the start of the invasion. That's probably what you're seeing, although I have had it happen once against a Karl that was impossible to kill and seemed to have unlimited panzerfausts, so it could also be PC players cheating.

It shows where the other player is on the map. Allied players can use them whenever they like but the German phone operator gets suspicious after a while and shows the Axis player which phone was used. Axis player has to wait 5 minutes between uses.

Yep, what TheMostFrench said

i would love a first person variation of the mode
