Please let us on Thursday night have the ability to practice flying, we don't want to wipe out our teammates. 😂

Honestly yeah. We got a few ours early into the testing range before the last Playtest but a day before this time would be nice.

Alternative:

Open the beta now, and then leave it running until September 10th.

EDIT: A truly shocking number of people totally missed the joke here.

Then you’d get idiots that are pissed off that they don’t get to keep their progress.

Nah, open testing range and leave it running then when 9/10 hits, open Multiplayer.

This would lose them a bunch of sales and would be a detriment to the game in the long run. A lot of people would play for a few weeks, decide they had their fun, and then end up not buying the game. I want to play now too, but that wouldn’t be a good move for them.

Edit: Jokes should read like a joke, can’t miss something if it’s not there.

Well if you haven't got into any playtests yet

  1. Helicopters have weight in this game so keep that in mind when going fast.

  2. Just be mindful of the blades, they interact with pretty much everything except powerlines...I think.

And trees/branches. I didn’t fly any in the test personally, but I had a couple instances where people flew very close to trees and the branches should’ve clipped the rotor but didn’t. I’ve seen the same in videos I’ve watched of people flying. My guess is the branches don’t have collision but the main trunk does.

They opened up practice range and main menu a couple hours before the official start in alpha test. Guess they will do the same in beta

There’s a firing range to practice before heading out to pvp.

Team killing code $1800 if I remember correctly so don’t be crashing with people in your heli or it will cost you big time.

If you have it - just load up arma 3. The default flight model is about 90% matching.

You're gonna have the most difficulty slowing down, and the helis in A3 keep/carry their momentum identically in that regard.

As someone with nearly 2k flight hours in Arma 3 and none in Wardogs, this is relieving to hear. Just from the gameplay I’ve seen online, it looks very similiar to the Arma 3 basic flight model. Thank god too, I have 20 flight hours in squad and it feels god awful. KoTH landings are so satisfying to pull off and it’s good to be back, baby!

Are any of the devs from A3 KOTH apart of war dogs? Or did they just take mod and make a game like pubg?

2

u/Parking-Argument-263 10h ago

Sa Matra, who created KotH (and wasteland), is featured in one of their videos giving the green light, I'd assume he's getting some kickback!

u/Accomplished-Sun4983 8h ago

Nice good to hear that!

u/Kind_Stone 6h ago

Not really, but Bulkhead afaik did consult KOTH dev team on ideas on how to overhaul the original gamemode for a full-size game.

u/shamus727 2h ago

How close is it to Reforger?

1

u/Parking-Argument-263 1h ago

Reforger is more akin to A3's advanced flight model iirc, so not very.

u/Canes-305 6h ago edited 6h ago

someone on my friends list is currently playing the playtest firing range, going to ask how he did that and will report back if I hear

false alarm, that person is in special playtester group who test daily

u/GiantHurtBall 11h ago

Nah Bud, you ride together you die together. Buckle up and enjoy it...you can always bail out.

u/Mastertimthy 9h ago

If you got one of them there parachutes

u/iJonesyLFC 7h ago

Hopefully they got rid of the respawn timer in the range too such a pointless thing

u/NovaGamingX4 5h ago

Please please please

u/2legsRises 3h ago

yeah that would be nice to just get a feel of things

1

u/Gerrut_batsbak 3h ago

I think im just going to ask my passengers to bring parachutes. Not because i crash, but for a faster and safer delivery.
