If you're new, don't use Delisle Carbine

[Johannes]

Makes the game too easy on Hard difficulty and below. And after you've used it, you cant go back to the loud rifles. It has poor stats, but after upgrading it it's decent.

[Rokk]

Yeah, I felt it was rather overpowered too. I'm currently upgrading the Mosin Nagant instead.

I realize this post was a general shoutout and not a direct message to me, but seeing as how I've played entirely through Sniper Elite, Sniper Elite v2, and Sniper Elite 3 (including DLC and co-op missions) with the noisy rifles, I figured this time around I could take it easy and use the Delisle Carbine.

Besides, there's supressed (subsonic?) ammunition available for all the rifles, and while that won't make them as quiet as the Delisle Carbine, they're certainly a lot quieter than if using regular ammo.

It's personal choice, of course. But newcomers to the game should probably experience the game without the Delisle first. Sound Masking and Suppressed Ammo both become complete non-issues when using the Delisle. Kind of trivializes the game a little too much.

I only have played a little up to now, but as I tried some of the sniper, I kinda like the Carcano M91/41. Initially, it's a high-power, low fire-rate rifle with a bit of lack in velocity, but as soon as you unlock the first upgrade, its becomes a lot more efficient.
When fully upgraded, the only "downside" to that rifle is the Firerate which is the 2nd slowest of all rifle. If you're a good shot, that's only trivial : 1 bullet 1 kill.

After beating the campaign using only the default sniper, I'm now doing a co-op playthrough with my brother and I am focusing on getting mostly melee and silenced pistol kills. I use the Delisle in co-op mainly because I thought it would make me rely more on my pistol and melee. I don't have it fully upgraded uet, but was messing around earlier and got a 411.3m headshot. I wish it having a shorter range was a little more enforced.

It does make clearing the game a little too easy though. Though with just about any rifle, you can cheese the levels into being a lot easier than intended. The Delisle is no different from playing with a silenced pistol and using suppressed ammo in your rifle. First playthrough should probably be done with no suppressed ammo and no silencers.

If you're playing without aim assist then silenced ammo is not cheesy, in the end it is aim assist what is cheesy, not a silenced ammo

I played marksman at first playthrough and completed it, and started Authentic Hardcore this week and in mission 5 atm. I've been using mostly the Carcano and having fun with it, but I'm not much of a stealth person and usually go loud on all my playthroughs. There are some ocassions I used the supressed pistol for stealth takeovers (as in my first playthrough) but now I'm using both M911 and MP40 for close range and still the Carcano for longer range

Tha Delisle Carbine as depitcted in this game is about 20 times louder,and has a muzzle flash that is about 30 times brighter than the real weapon !!! All they had was pictures of the weapon,but I've seen the insides of the weapon. In my travels as a weapons collection buyer for collectors worldwide,I came across a collector in Thailand that found 6 carbines in variouse states of dis-repair and made one complete weapon.He is a mechanical draftsman and has drawn up a complete set of plans for a Delisle Carbine. He wanted over five thousand dollars for a set of plans,but with my photographic memory,I remember the plans,and at a later date,I'll try to build a carbine for myself.

photographic memory does not exist, do try to lie better. also only about 150 of delisles were ever produced in ww2. now valkyre arms has a replica for about $2k so it's not that big of a deal. and yeah they produced it from original blueprints. there are modern guns in that niche, like vss but i've only seen it in in demonstration and have not fired one so i can't tell you more then that it's as loud as a clap on the back of the hand. real quiet weapon with huge bullet drop. delisle should be similar in use and due to round specs it would be hard to hit anything over 200-300m. bullet is just too slow to be reliable over that distance. but as it is a guard removal tool you don't need the range, just big silent round penetrating everything.

[Marcy]

I tried it very briefly but I didn't like it at all. The zoom was lacking and it lacked the satisfying feeling some of the other rifles have. I'll stick with my Karabiner 98K for now.

[Slam-505th Resurgence]

guy i know plays this game, he doesnt use scope w delisle to force him to use it at shorter ranges

[Jaxx]

Harkonen, what are you talking about? I love silent rifles!

[Briegel_Busch]

The De Lisle karabiner has its right to exist in SE4, depending on the playing style and map. Especially the night maps in the campaign are ideal for the De Lisle. However, you should be aware that the De Lisle is actually more "repeating pistol" than a real, full-fledged karabiner.

If, however, I have extensive open maps with the possibility to eliminate enemies at a great distance (Viadukt Regilio e.g.), then I also prefer another weapon (Schwedenmauser, K98 or also the ZH29).

So you can't say that the De Lisle is no good. It depends, as with any other weapon in SE4, on the intended use (and the preferred playing style).

If you want to know more about the De Lisle, here is a link to a quite extensive presentation of the original weapon:

The reason why i will not buy Sniper Elite V2 Remastered is because there is still no silent rifle -and because Rebellion gave me few bans after my protest!

[Templar]

I like the De lisle Carbine - you can have fun with it. It's nice to just sit someplace, snipe some unsuspecting enemy, then watch as the rest of them run about like headless chickens with no clue as to what just happened, and to all end up facing away from you - so you can snipe another one in the back of the head.......and start the whole process again True, the weapon doesn't have any great range to it, maybe 250m at best on a good day (and if the bullet took a taxi for the last 75m). But just to have a bit of fun with - it's great.
