While Battlefield V had a powerful presence during Microsoft's E3 press conference, giving fans a glimpse at the story mode with a new cinematic trailer, there is still plenty about the game that is unknown. However, if this leak is accurate, then the weapons, gadgets, and vehicles appearing in the game at launch will not be one of the unknown factors.
First appearing in a blog and then being reposted in the Battlefield V subreddit, user Silviahunter leaks a list that claims to be a confirmed compilation of the aforementioned weapons and vehicles coming to the game "up until today." The wording would suggest that DICE could potentially add more prior to launch or afterward as post-launch content. Nevertheless, check out the full list below:

Those concerned about the 'historical accuracy' controversy spilling over into the weapons of the game should feel relieved, as the list contains classic World War II-era weapons such as the M1 Garand, but there are also some concerned about the short list of weapons. The original poster believes that DICE will confirm more soon, and others have noted this list can't be complete because it doesn't contain the Valentine and Cromwell tanks seen in previous trailers.
Moreover, this list should be taken with a healthy grain of salt, as DICE has yet to officially confirm or comment on the list. It could simply be an invented list of wish fulfillment since the leaker doesn't really have much backing. Another concern with this list is the lack of specificity, as the list could be for the whole game, the battle royale mode, the campaign mode, or the multiplayer mode.
Battlefield V releases on October 19 for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
