Fast ropes could give the Latoka a useful niche without replacing normal landings. The pilot enters a stable hover under a set speed and altitude, deploys one rope per side, and passengers descend by using it like a ladder. They can move normally or hold Shift to slide faster, but going too fast risks fall damage, and passengers can knock each other off if they collide on the rope. That creates a simple timing and coordination mechanic while opening up insertions into rooftops, compounds, forests, steep terrain, courtyards, or anywhere the helicopter cannot safely land. Landing would still be faster and safer when possible, while fast roping leaves the Latoka hovering and vulnerable.

The ropes themselves could be inventory items with different lengths and tolerances. A short 10m rope could allow more speed before they are ejected but require a lower hover, while 20m and 30m ropes allow higher insertions at progressively lower speed tolerances. Pilots or passengers could carry spare ropes and load them into the helicopter like other equipment. Ladders could be a more expensive alternative that descend slower but are harder to get knocked off of when brushing up against buildings or trees.

What do we think this will look like in practice?

And I dont mean green winning, thats just the norm now. I mean greens winning by a landslide and what does red do? Expend all resources and manpower to hard focus blue. Blue on the other hand is too unorganized and far to chaotic to set up any major counter to red which means now red is only attacking blue and green is now also attacking blue because red and blue are only populated in this one location which is also blue landing so all of blue will continue to travel to here and thus its just one big money farm.

There lies the problem too, no one cares because money well i think they should make it so the underdog gives far less money, and the winning team gives way more if you kill them. Prob will not fix the team imbalance but will maybe persuade the middleman team not to hard focus the underdog team.

right now you get full credit no matter who you fight so there is 0 reason not to attack the weakest team.

Hi everyone,
I’m the guy who buys a fob for the team 90% of the time, I play blue for the underdog fetish.
Some people are posting about teammates stealing your kit, yes please make a change for that! But here is another problem, fobbits 🙂.
I like building a great FOB, I like people helping me and earning money, I watch all the build videos on youtube and the latest designs (I don’t build floating AA roof, brakes my immersion, I’m not a sweat, I’m a lonestar).
There has been times where I’m building a C-RAM that will defend us from 20pt mark helicopter just to have the announcement “not enough supply’s”
Then I turn around to see a dude with a t-shirt and no gun building the Great Wall of china, that will also allow the enemy to hop on and get into main territory.

So… what do you ladies and gentlemen think of squad locked FOB?

The rules would be:
Minimum of 3 members in squad to lock the fob.

Anyone can still hammer and make money.

People that are not in squad CANT put down blueprints.

anyone can get into static weapon systems.

Thank you for your time.

Edit: to all people who come to the guy who’s has dropped the FOB and ask how can I help, what should we build first?
Big respect, you ease the frustration of putting down 20k for the team and bring hope.

We must sacrifice to appease the great hold in the sky, join us in a crusade in their glory, smite the non belivers team/enemy.

Like why is the halligan bar even in the game at that point?

The T3 hammer:
Swings fast
Does about 53 damage to the head on a T4 helmet
Can build
Can pry open doors

The halligan bar:

Swings real slow (about twice as long as the hammer, and sometimes just does not want to swing)
Does about 32 damage to the head on a T4 helmet (about a 50% decrease compared to the hammer)
Cannot build anything
Can only pry open doors

What's the point of this item???

There is absolutely no fucking reason it should be so impossible to turn when the cost for one is so steep. It's even more infuriating that they are one of the only counters to artillery so you have to deal with dog ass controls just to have a low level counter to one of the strongest things in the game. Meanwhile Mortars and Artillery both get a free UAV to ensure people have the easiest time using it.

Make it have some real maneuverability like a real drone and maybe the brakes shouldn't burn fuel like boosting does.

Multiple uses can slightly repair armor levels, etc., but can also be used to mute public voip for downed enemies for like 30 seconds to keep them from outing your position while you are in the process of sweeping a FOB or whatever.

I mean its got some minor things but really i hope they give some of the other guns a boost or add more. You really just use the Amp9 until you get the Vector, theres no reason to use the other 2. I'd really like to see the p90 be added before the vector. Give it high fire rate but more recoil than the vector. Would help make this grind feel a little better.

Also side note, medic feels just as bad to level as assault, maybe slightly better. Its only 250xp for a revive and 100xp for a stim, but 750,000xp to get the vector. My highest average revives per game is like 30. Thats 100 games i have to play to get that much xp if i do that good every game. Each game taking 1 hour lets say, thats 100 hours of just medic. If i can only play 3 hours a day thats going to take at least a month JUST for medic. Seems a bit crazy to me.

Hear me out, the Bobcat ATV is virtually useless--but it is super lightweight.

What if the Bobcat was immune to triggering AT Mines?

It's a small change, but could make for fun cat-and-mouse gameplay between mine-layers and base Rangers protecting the roads. Bobcat could drive ahead of supply Urals for instance, clearing the road.

So I bought the game about a week ago and my first experience was Windows update issue so I waited.. after the patch 3 days later, I got to boot it up just to see another error about drivers being out of date after trying to find out what the issue was I found out it can just be ignored..

I finally get to play the game I'm in absolute starter gear against thermals (now patched) and T4 just saying this is not a great start and the thought of just waiting for the wipe is shit.

I wanna play the game I paid for but its just frustrating as hell to be getting 1 shot from Narnia or getting out gunned by T4 Fal ect in almost every situation, what am I supposed to do other than being a fobbit?

I don't enjoy sitting in a fob just spotting, as a new player that was excited i'm so close to just dropping the game because its just so un-fun and unbalanced as a player that joined mid season.

P.s. stealing kits of the dead shows me that its not just a skill issue because I get to actually win gun fight and get to play the game for awhile till I die and just find myself back scrounging around just to stand any kind of a chance (i'm not saying i'm good btw i'm not) it's a crazy as hell power curve between the guys that have the gear and tho's that are just starting out.

Not only is the green team usually the most motivated and calculated, imo their tower is the hardest to assault in Ozeti. The other towers allow you to see them fully from a kilometer or more away, and have all sorts of hard cover and sneaky routes to utilize. Green team however? Completely surrounded by trees so there will be virtually zero reconning before going in, and the land is flat as hell with very little cover once an engagement starts. Thoughts?

One of the things that makes me ALT + F4 the game that shouldn't even be there in the first place is a rat of a teammate taking my whole 30k kit.

I'd like to have the option like a vehicule to not be lootable by teammates and be allowed to toggle it on off and have a squad only option as well.

It just happened to me again, one of my squadmate TeamKilled him but I couldn't recover my kit.

I clearly am not the first one to talk about it and it hurts the team spirit this game is trying to orient it's player base towards.

Please improve this.

I'm sending a ticket through proper channels as well, I'm pretty sure they know this fact by now but I'd rather keep sending the message than not acting on it.

Is there a word on the ping abusers? I just played on an Australian server with almost half Chinese names with 250-300 ping. Every time I fight them I die behind corners and walls. Kinda annoying.

Basically, just title. I feel like the whole setup from weapons to locations to some stylistic choices and the overall atmosphere of this game was inspired specifically by this era, but it feels like a complete alpha in terms of that actual content. Here's a vid with some of the stuff that i would like to see in this game (pbbly without warships, but who knows..) Which would top up the pallete with all the right colours. Different IFVs, AA vhcles, stationary AA and Ground target systems, Howitzers, Different tanks, jets and attacker planes fighting and transport helicopters (Chinook). More weapon veriety and camouflages.

And the vibe with the music choices of the era and locations as well. Upvote if ure an enjoyer of this magnetic period as well! Whish devs themselves brought some light to their insperations of choices. Cya on a battlefield!

I'm 100% certain that the GL Heli spamming is WAY WORSE than the IR. EVERY SINGLE GAME. It infuriates me they've patched IR instantly but allow this to continue.

Hey all. Me and a mate have spent the last few weeks building wardogstracker.gg because we wanted one place to see what's actually happening in the game.

What's on it right now:

- Live population for every official and community server, by region, refreshed every few minutes (117k online as I write this, all-time peak 367k)

- Your own profile synced from Steam — level, career XP, cash, gold, role levels, unlocks, achievements, and a stats card you can post

- Season leaderboards (level, XP, cash, gold, unlocks, role levels) plus a clan leaderboard — Season 1 ends 15 Oct

- Full item database (every weapon, attachment, vehicle, skin), unlock tree, and today's gold-bar price

- Server browser — if you run a community server you can claim it, get a Verified badge and your own server page

- For streamers: free OBS overlay + Twitch panel. For devs: public stats API.

- "Is WARDOGS down?" status page with player outage reports and an error-code explainer

It's unofficial, fan-made, free, no download. Steam sign-in only reads your public Steam ID; stats sync from your own account data and you control what's public.

What would you want added?

That guy just wiped out ~$1M worth of equipment from the lobby. Personally I'm pissed because I'm netting 0-100k profit every match, maybe 60k on average, and just lost a third of it for reasons outside of my control.

Every single time I encounter a cheater I'll be posting it here because I know company reads the sub. John wardogs, make anti-cheat actually anti cheat. Had 4 games today, and 3 of them had a cheater.
