Battlefield V

Germany is in Battlefield V. It was one of two factions available at launch, along with the United Kingdom.

Singleplayer

Germany is the main enemy faction in the singleplayer, encountered in the 1940, 1942 and 1944 sections of My Country Calling, Under No Flag, Nordlys and Tirailleur war stories, while friendly forces appear during The Last Tiger.

The faction has have several soldier types of both normal and elite variety, with the latter having higher health, better weapons and a unique appearance - regular enemies wear gray or khaki uniforms and standard stahlhems, while elites may be identified by their darker camouflage patterned clothing, non-standard headgear and frequent use of face coverings. Additionally, in Tirailleur some Germans appear to be Fallschirmjäger units, identified by their unique autumn camouflage and paratrooper helmets. Germany is also the enemy faction encountered in Basic Training.

Combined Arms

Germany is the sole enemy faction in the co-op mode of Battlefield V, Combined Arms. Their soldier types, equipment and appearance are generally identical to the faction's appearance in singleplayer.

Multiplayer

In the Multiplayer, Germany is one of the two launch factions, opposing the United Kingdom in the Western, North African, Norwegian and Balkan fronts, as well as the USA in North Africa, France and Belgium.

The faction uses German vehicles and German language voice overs. However, the faction may be an amalgamation of several other European Axis powers as such as Italy, similar to the United Kingdom which is British-based but includes cosmetic items and personnel from Free France.
