Barr & Stroud Reflector Gun Sight Mk II
The late model (1941) Barr & Stroud Reflector Gun Sight Mk II is called the "Spitfire Mk. 3 Reflector" and is seen being attached to an StG 44 in the Playstation Alpha trailer. In reality, the Mk II was an aircraft sight and its usage in a handheld weapon configuration is impossible due to the bulk and its need for an external power supply. The crosshairs are absent in game and only the central dot is used akin to a modern red dot sight. It is also miniaturized to the size of a modern micro red dot sight which would have been impossible with the technology of the 1940s.
Barr & Stroud Reflector Gun Sight Mk III
The Barr & Stroud Reflector Gun Sight Mk III is seen being attached to an StG 44 in promotional screenshots. In reality, the Mk III was an aircraft sight and its usage in a handheld weapon configuration is impossible due to the bulk and its need for an external power supply. It is also miniaturized to the size of a modern holographic sight which would have been impossible with the technology of the 1940s.
Nydar Model 47
The Nydar Model 47 Sight is seen in the Playstation Alpha trailer. It is depicted as being slightly smaller compared to the real thing probably to make it easier to fit to the various weapon models. The Nydar was introduced in 1945 so technically it is anachronistic for all segments of the game. Moreover, it was not a military device and as such it never saw combat action. The Nydar was intended as a sight for shotgun hunters, to aid in firing on flying birds, however, it didn't become popular.
Discussion
Call of Duty Vanguard aka COD WWII 2: Pacific Boogaloo
Note, images and info are from leaks, so nothing's final..yet. Reveal trailer will be coming real soon, will move to main page when that does.
- Top image has (right to left) a Mosin with a PU scope, a Type 100, a Lee-Enfield No. 4 (and what looks like a holstered M1911, or something of the sort), and a Sten Mk. II. With a drum mag. Again. Hooray...
- Also, those promo guns look, for lack of a better word, horrible. I mean, really? A hybrid Mk. I/V Sten with a suppressor and one of those aircraft MG reflex sights? A longer-barreled MP41 with a tiny scope, a muzzle brake, and a Thompson foregrip? Plus a hilariously gaudy-looking PPSh, a screwed-up shorty Sturmgewehr with what looks like a ~20 round straight mag and a vertical foregrip, a cut-down Type 100 with a handstop(?), and what I can only assume is supposed to be a Mosin (based purely on context and the scope, since practically no feature of the actual rifle looks like a Mosin). I was hoping that they'd've learned their lessons from COD:WWII, but it seems they've instead doubled down on everything wrong with that game's aesthetics, plus everything wrong with BOCW's for good measure. Just... why?

- This PPSh looks like a water toygun, LOLest. --Slon95 (talk) 12:29, 14 August 2021 (EDT)
- Thank the lord its a Cold War blueprint, not a Vanguard blueprint. It was at the end of the trailer for Vanguard. --JackalUnderscore (talk) 14:05, 19 August 2021 (EDT)

Page Up
With the release of an official teaser trailer, I think its safe to make the page now, so I did and added the guns and grenades from the teaser. Hope nobody minds, seeing as the full reveal and first proper trailer is on the 19th. --JackalUnderscore (talk) 15:50, 16 August 2021 (EDT)
Weapon Wishlist
A small list of desired weapons besides the expected usual chestnuts, including the ones that weren’t in the previous game:
- Pistols: Browning Hi-Power, Walther PPK, Welrod, Webley revolver
- SMGs: Owen Gun, United Defense M42, Suomi KP/-31, Nambu Type I, Bergmann MP35, Beretta M1918, Spasov M1944 Trigun (3-barrelled SMG)
- Shotguns: Browning Auto-5, Winchester Model 1887
- Rifles: M1941 Johnson rifle, ZH-29, Carcano, Winchester Model 1895, MAS-44, Burton 1917 LMR, Ribeyrolles 1918 Automatic Carbine, double-barrelled hunting rifle (for fun)
- LMGs: DP-28, Type 99 Light Machine Gun, Vickers Gas Operated, MAC mle 1931 machine gun, Maxim-Tokarev
- Launchers: Sturmpistole, Type 89 grenade launcher, PIAT
- Others: OSS glove pistol, one of those Joe crossbows, throwing knives
Also, a few ideas for scorestreaks that are basically WWII counterparts of the ones in BOCW:
- Hand Cannon: Smith & Wesson Model 27. One-hit kill to infantry and high damage to other scorestreaks. Maybe make it ivory-gripped as like General Patton’s gun.
- War Machine: Kulakov Grenade Launcher. Holds only 5 grenades but otherwise still powerful.
- Death Machine: Hard to say, given the M134 Minigun was developed in the 60s. The closest I can come up with for WWII is a Slostin machine gun, but that is mounted on a carriage and not man-portable at all. The next best thing could be a twin MG81 setup since it is kind of man-portable and has an extremely high fire rate, and after that maybe the M1919 AN/M2 Stinger from CoD:WWII. Or a big water-cooled MG like the Maxim or Browning M1917.
Most of this is a pipe dream knowing Sledge and Acti but they did add some weapons like the Charlton Automatic Rifle in CoD:WWII so who knows. Feel free to add to the list if you want. --MJ79 (talk) 22:01, 17 August 2021 (EDT)
- I don't know half the things on this list. What's the Trigun and the Slostin? --JackalUnderscore (talk) 13:48, 19 August 2021 (EDT)

Trailer Dropped
This is a pretty epic trailer, not looking bad at all. There must be at least one multiplayer WWII game on all 4 major fronts, but I haven't heard of any. Looks pretty darn good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQ1CwPhE8KQ --JackalUnderscore (talk) 14:07, 19 August 2021 (EDT)
