There’s an argument to be made that the X-Ray Killcam is an excess too far, but the Sniper Elite 3 team are expanding it to even include vehicles. Those poor, poor vehicles.

Sniper Elite 3 takes place in North Africa and is much more of a sandbox than V2, with great improvements made to enemy AI so that they behave as squads and not some hive-minded super army.
