Among them is Raubvogel, the elusive German sniper behind a plot to kill British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill. You must find out what you can about the planned assassination and stop these new weapons from leaving the remote facility.

• Fix for an animation glitch when mounting a turret.
  
• Ribbon images in the service record should be displaying again.

• MP40, Sten and Thompson ranges rebalanced, and Sten damage increased.
