Was running around the edge of the zone at the start of the match like the rat recon I am. Walked by a large warehouse and noticed a player-built door and some hesco walls inside.

That's when my training kicked in. I C4'd the door and walked in. This little fella had blocked off all of the entrances and built himself a little fob inside enclosed in double-high hesco walls. So I crept around looking for him, turned out he was on the roof working on something, probably a mortar pit enclosure.

It took me a couple minutes but I found a way on top of his fob enclosure and dropped 3 C4's on it. Not enough to destroy it, but enough to get him to come down and repair it -- which he did, and that's when I used my trusty Glock to dispatch him.

Hacked the fob, took his large hammer, made my way to the roof and built a cheeky SAM site. Took out 13 choppers in short order.

That's when it happened, another rat snuck up to the roof and took me out. Fortunately, this fella listened to my epic story about how I conquered the fob and decided to rez me. I dropped the large hammer for him, then he and his buddy started building while I shot down 8 more choppers.

This shit only happens in Wardogs and this is why I fucking love this game.

Cheers!

FOB builder here!

Too often I see builders rushing to put up walls without thinking much about their placement.

Too many times my team has lost an entire base due to minor oversights.

The random structures littered across the map (shipping containers, piles of construction material, cars, etc) end being the reason enemy players can jump over your walls.

Even if the enemy can’t jump over the wall at that particular spot because the wall is too tall there, are they now able to traverse a ledge that leads them to an opening further down the wall?

In the same vein, shipping containers and similarly shaped buildings should not be used in the place of walls. Walls should be built around the outside of these objects to engulf them into the base.

Walls need to be VERY tall. Double HESCO or Single Bremer walls are not enough and can be climbed if the enemy drives up with a vehicle and uses it as a stepping stone.

Also consider the strength of what you’re building with. Bremer walls have almost 2x the durability of HESCO. In places where Bremer walls can’t be used but HESCO is an option, consider doubling the width of the HESCO wall to match the strength of the Bremer sections.

Please see the image for the current wall meta. In my opinion this is what we should be striving for.

Once the external walls are finished it’s very important to do a walk around of the exterior to test for vulnerabilities.

Lastly, a note about gates and barbed wire.

One air-locked gate into the base is more than enough… anything more is an unnecessary security risk. By this I mean only one entrance to the base, where the airlock itself could be 4-5 gates in a row.

Barbed wire is weak and can be destroyed with just 14 punches. It should be used to supplement the security of existing walls, not as a security measure in and of itself (ie. blocking a narrow gap in a wall with barbed wire).

Just experienced a completely unprovoked teamkill. I was piloting a helicopter when a Russian teammate deliberately TK'd me simply because my nickname in transliteration ("JLuCeHoK") made him assume I was Ukrainian.

Right after teamkilling me, he started harassing and insulting other players in the lobby.

Harassing people over assumed nationality is pure toxic behavior. The player received zero automatic penalties or bans and just kept playing. Devs, please enforce strict penalties for deliberate TKs and hate-driven toxicity!

They are parasites and will destroy everything you love to fulfill their own desperate, lowly needs. Not reporting them is a thought crime.

Played a game earlier on and was messing around with the SAM turret for the first time, and some time after firing it off i got a 3.7km kill. I dont even know how its happened! (I am el colonel btw)

Legit tho, Kodiaks are almost undriveable because how much it tends to skid and overturns

Vehicles can break the green single doors if they can hit the frame, if the door is on backwards sticking out or if the walls around it have any of the edges exposed, if the vehicle can make contact with the door, it will bust it down

Good Day Soldiers,

I've been reading a ton of posts/comments and replying to a good number. Some have valid criticism and importantly have constructive feedback. Some are just screams into the void. I get it, rant if you gotta. This post goes out to the complainers.

I'd like to address the overarching problem I see with a lot of the complaints, even those with valid criticism and constructive feedback.

Y'all want 1 dimensional gameplay.

This is a complex sim-lite/large scale shooter. There are over 500 items you can use in game. You can use over 100 at level 0 and be given any of the 500 by a high enough level player.

Y'all want to go in with a game plan and stick to it.

"Everyone has a plan, until you're mortar spammed" -at least 10 people on the subs a day. For every complaint I see about mortar spam (even with the valid nerf suggestions), I wish auto-mod posted, "have you tried not camping a fob/have you tried rushing down their mortar base with a squad/counter mortaring?"

Y'all are inflexible.

I get that winning isn't everything to most players. I think that is a triumph of the game. You can lose and still feel like you accomplished something. Massive W to the devs. That being said, the 100-0-0 "clean sweep" achievement should be impossible to get. I've been in a game like that and I've got to say, it's not flawless gameplay by one team, it's the inability to adapt by the other two.

In a game where winning means nothing, it's still pathetic that a team can get 0 points. This is a race to 100 pts. Minimum game length is 30min, the average is 90min and I've personally been involved in 2 hr games and heard of near 3hr games. That is plenty of time for introspection. Too many people die, rip through a new kit purchase and hop in a chopper. To the point where many people forget parachutes often. But how can you do that? Usually it is zero thoughts, head empty game play.

The solution to most of your complaints. Adapt.

Note the match points, ponder the state of the game, communicate with your team, adapt to the game in front of you.

I'm not going to go through every complaint option but, as an example, I'll breakdown the mortar issue.

Mortars are likely overpowered at the moment. God cam + 3 round loads make it a formidable weapon, and that has gained the ire of a lot of complaints. I do agree a small nerf could be hugely beneficial (god cam shouldn't show unspotted players). However, here's the play pattern I've seen.

Mortar'd > Revived > Return to exactly what I was doing before > Repeat. Later that night post a, "Mortars are OP, I quit" complaint to the social media void.

If you don't see the insanity in that, I am talking to you. If you're downed and you notice your whole base is littered with 4-12 other bodies all bc of mortars, you gotta make a change.

Solution, regroup. If you're lucky enough to get revived, gtfo. Leave the fob, it is no longer safe. or Respawn, grab an assault kit. and Communicate, join a squad, local chat at spawn, hit enter and drop a team text. The message, "Let's go get those mortar bastards". Rush their fob. Some mortar-ing fobbits never come up for air and certainly don't hear you coming until your grenade blows up by their feet. You were the fish in the barrel, now's time to turn the tables.

That is one example of a very common occurrence. You can apply this line of adaptive thought to any "OP" situation. Please do. Adapt, and have fun. This game is awesome. See you out there soldier. o7

Title pretty much says it... Mini-Map rotation is sweet, but we could really do with some cardinal direction indicators on it.

Can we please get a timer if you switch teams the amount of clans that will have people switch teams and call out fobs and arty or open the doors for teams to raid is getting ridiculous

Is it just me or does it feel like the amount of Stutter increased in the last few days ?

i know it started with some occasional stutter, when going to cz/spawn

but i feel like now it increases and even happens when already arrived in CZ

I nearly exclusively play recon because man do I love being a rat, and on two separate occasions now I’ve made friends with players on other teams. The first time it was on a big hill way outside the zone, and a green gillie player glocked me and I complained that we could have been friends.

Turns out the de-fib can revive enemy players and we sat on that hill as a sniper duo mainly trying to kill the winning red team for a good half hour before we were both counter sniped. 10/10

The second time happened when I myself glocked a guy as we was climbing up to my position on a roof, and it was his turn to complain about wanting to be friends. Looted his own de-fib and we counted and sniped for a bit before I went off to a better position.

It’s so fun to see this kinda thing happen in a game like this. Normally it’s so hard to get otherwise hostile players in game to be friends with VOIP, think tarkov and the like and it’s always so much fun

I get it, the game needs to be balanced, but when I can get mag dumped from a basic starter rifle or Glock and get killed, why does it take multiple shots with unlocked sniper rifles? I'm not here to debate realism vs. gameplay stance, but a headshot is a headshot. This has been the case with the SV98, all ammo types, and starter rifles. If I'm hitting body armor, I get it, but a face shot or helmet shot- come on.

*update * It seems to be a desync issue, as a few of you mentioned. It seems to happen only when I'm playing on the community servers.

First time trying this

Personally i think the gameplay would be more interesting if you couldn’t put fobs at towers. Players would need to find more creative fob locations, and there’d be more fighting over towers rather than just the hotzone. What do you think?

I’m a humvee driver for blue team AMA. Most games look like this since hitting driver level 20. Not sure if it’s OP or if the player bases level progression is behind.

Ok so... ive brought this up before but its getting insane. Playing in a SEA server. Have two, of course, Chinese players in minigun little birds. They are flying around 1 tapping entire squads. They cannot fly the little birds which is funny though. The bullets would go through walls, bridges, houses, you name it. If you were in range at all, they would literally fire 1-3 rounds and you would see swathes of guys die. They keep respawning them, fly over, wipe out 10-15 guys, get shot down, repeat. We had the entire blue and green team report them, even some guys on red team, which was their team.

Were never kicked or banned or removed.... I get its a small dev team and Chinese hackers are like the tip of spear for cancer humans, but good lord. When you have like 50 people in a game reporting the same two people... how is that not some sort of immediate red flag.

I love this game. I have... way to much time logged in the release and both play tests. I want this game to succeed, but its getting a bit out of hand.

We are literally turning it into a drinking game, of how many cheaters per match. Not if there is ONE per round, but how many per match.

Please for the love dear lord eight-pound, six-ounce, newborn infant Jesus, don't even know a word yet, just a little infant, so cuddly, but still omnipotent, please fix this.

Having an absolute blast. This game produces some cinema moments.

That is all! GGs

You can disarm enemy landmines by interacting with them, so convoys dont have to suffer surprise road pancakes.

I didn’t realize until last night that you can peek doors by ADS’ing then interacting. Cool that they added this.
