I'll buy this if able to peek Q/R around corners?
Does it have such a basic tactical feature?

This is a critical feature to me and I'd like to know it's there before wasting money. No need for the immature response (ironically).
It's a third person game, so although there isn't a dedicated command for that, you can still do it.

Can you physically tilt around a corner to shoot pass it whilst not exposing as much of your body?

That's what shoulder aim acts as, it allows for a small amount of room where you can see someone but they can't see you. It isn't as ridiculous as first person leaning though and if the enemy are close enough then they will see you.

No. You can look around corners by manuevering your mouse to move the camera, but you can't do what you're describing.

the mechanic for that is the snap-to/aim-out cover system.

^^^ Yes, now that I think about it, you're correct. There is that mechanic, but I've only used it to peep out of windows, boxes, etc., and not around corners. But I do believe you can do that to look and shoot around corners.

This is TPS. Peeking corners doesnt fit to its genre. And no. There is no such thing in SE4.

Yes, it works around corners.

Hmm? Corner peeking has long been a tactical staple of tactical shooters - SOCOM, Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon and ArmA.

If you're looking to aim around a corner like that and lean around it to fire, you are playing the game ENTIRELY WRONG.

That is not a subjective opinion, it's just straight up fact.

Sniper elite 4 is about tactically eliminating targets that are unaware of your position. Think old-fashioned stealth games. You should never, EVER be in protracted gunfights on any difficulty. If someone is shooting at you, you should be cutting and running in the opposite direction at top speed and trying to find somewhere to hide while you regain your advantages, which are range and unseen fire.

You can fire one or two rounds unsuppressed and outside of sound cover like explosions and ♥♥♥♥, before the enemy pinpoints where you are.

Sniper elite is about doing crazy ♥♥♥♥ like planting a trap for a passing vehicle, and when it passes, you put a round in a sentry's head using the explosion to mask your shot so that nobody notices that the guy in the tower is now dead.

Sniper elite is not running up to corners with assault rifles and 'leaning around them' to fire. Even on easy mode that's going to get you killed.
To me , 3rd person in all games is like using a cheat code .

Using a mouse to peak around corners , crap gaming to me .

Its a thirdperson game, it has snap to cover and pop/peak out mechanics but no leaning, you can however now switch shoulders for the thirdperson camera.
