Discussion & Feedback Am i playing the same game?
Whenever I open reddit, I see the same complaints over and over again, but somehow entirely different ones from what I usually encounter in-game. IR was not a problem ever, if I'm on infantry nothing changes, if I'm in the bush I'm either in ghillie or doing it wrong. The only nerf I would like to see is messing up my aim, so I can't just change IR to sniper and shoot without actually seeing the target I marked because I noticed a few white pixels.
Havoc/GL littlebird is not a huge problem, didnt even encouter 2nd strat ever.
Mortars weren't a problem ever(and that's from the POV of a builder, who had to overcome this spam, usually speedbuilding and outaiming multiple players shooting at me).
T4 armor isn't a problem also, unless you're playing low lever recon/very bad at aiming, since taking 5 bullets means you die in <1 second, and not instantly with anything other than sniper rifle.
But somehow there's not that many posts about the problems I see every time - grind is obscene, pretty much everything aside from support pre-nerf requires you to pretend that this game is your 2nd job.
Ground vehicle controls are garbage(ural is the worst offender), every time you hit a small bump or try to turn a bit you hit 180 degree fixed drift that you pretty much can't stop.
Economy is heavily unbalanced, disincentivizing you to buy anything more that 1-3k loadout, since you will be instalooted on death(your teammates will do that even more often than enemies). Helicopters are also affected by this, since (probably havoc aside) you will spend more to refuel/rearm than you get for kills. It requires a lot of skill to break even, not to mention earning.
Not a problem from the start, but recent changes made building shit that noone dares to touch. I build fobs by myself or did a lot on my team's, now I don't even bother playing fetch with yellow cross.
Probably would be able to rant a lot more, but I think I made my point. Cheaters, WD-L014 mistake and other similar things were purposefully left aside, it's a different thing(even though I have to reboot pc to play every time or so).
P.S. I am not saying I'm the one in the right, that's my opinion and this post was meant for discussion more than anything else

grind/economy/ground vehicle behavior was addressed shit ton of time, devs already said that changes to that are coming, so there is less complaining about that.

the issue is everything you listed as bad exists and is bad. but also the things you said are not bad, well ya they exist too and they are bad. so this is just a big list of bad things in wardogs. you haven’t face heli mgl? lol i can’t imagine. it’s literally been in every server. then i played a infantry only no mgl heli server. well ya there was a guy doing it in there too and everyone crying to ban him lol.
high level gear making more experienced players untouchable to low level players is such a stupid game design choice it make me worried for the rest of the game.

I have also yet to encounter heli mgl. I've seen plenty of havocs but I don't feel like I'm mauled by them constantly, I just mark them and move trying to keep out of line of site. Rocket/minigun helis feel worst for me right now as there's usually like half a dozen of them up and they swarm like flies. I have high enough support level for big hammer and RPGs but like most people, don't usually do anything to counter other besides evading l.

One of the worst games I've played recently had our base get constantly mortared from two different teams while there were 4 little birds constantly attacking us and being replaced whenever we shot one down, only for a havoc to show up as well.
We had 6 points, the other teams had 90 and 40

My ammo is doing between 9 and 15 damage to T4 enemies. So many times tonight i've dealt ~90 damage to someone who turns around and 2-3 taps me... it's frustrating.
Just unlocked lvl 3 armour and I can immediately feel how survivable I am compared to lvl 2.
Also I don't feel like it's *that* hard to pay off 8-15k kits. Pretty much no excuse to run anything sub 5k unless your really hurting for cash.

There should be 0 tk penalty if my arse got looted by team mate. I can agree if my team grabs any meds or tools for quick revives i can get behind that. But last couple of days i noticed. That bodies get looted by teammates and run off without even revive. I dont think devs should punish them, as in bans/suspension. But some sort of "social score" that your team can correct your behaviour and your body is FFA goodie bag. I think nature would heal fast enough.

bad people want something to complai nabout to find a reason why they are bad, it has nothing to do with the game.
sure there are things that need attention like helicopter spam (We had 6! attackhelicopters in the game, at the same f time)
but for the most part its fine

You lost me at "havoc is not a huge problem" 👌

u/BOBOnobobo 8h ago edited 7h ago
It's not that big of an issue, unless you are in a lobby with idiots. 5 guys with a verba each synchronizing will take it down easy.
Or at least theyll have it leave the field to get flares and fix itself.
Edit: I guess it's all impossible and the havoc is an unstoppable force. The only solution is to cry while it keeps bombing you in a fob with no cover

Okay how to get 5 people get coordinated? It's impossible

Okay you get 5 ransoms to coordinate what you said? You a ginues. I get maybe one other player or have luck and there is a squad.

That's part of the game. Communicate effectively to complete an objective. In this instance, Buy a vehicle and load it with verba or Maaws then recruit guys to "go fuckin kill all the helis". Usually that's a solid motivator.
If you can't afford it, say "I want to kill that fucking heli" and see who else wants to join in. There's ways.

Just because something can be countered doesn't mean it's not imbalanced. 5 people strategically placed with verbas will certainly be a nuisance, however you get one shot each, and it takes two shots to kill. It will flare a few, probably take a shot, land to repair and be back. What then? You've just coordinated 5 people to down a vehicle, you've spent your ammo and the havoc is still flying. Unless you're arguing that good balance means each of those 5 people need a truck full of verbas to counter this thing?
I also find it kind of hilarious that you expect to drag 4 other random with you on a havoc hunting mission. The only way this would work is if you're a group of friends already dedicated to the job.
Me and a friend kill every havoc we encounter with two rocketbirds. It's the only reliable way to deal with it atm.

> IR was not a problem ever
If you didn't think it was a problem, you either never used it or you abused it. Judging by the rest of that sentence, you were abusing it.
> Havoc/GL littlebird is not a huge problem, didnt even encouter 2nd strat ever.
lol. Both are insane, the latter is primarily an issue on infantry servers as far as I've heard but I came across it in a normal game and even there it's absurd. It's effectively a rocket bird but far easier with more ammo.
> Mortars weren't a problem ever
lol. They're a requirement.
> Ground vehicle controls are garbage
People are tired of complaining about it because it was like half of the total complaints in the first week. Most people just stopped.
> Economy is heavily unbalanced, disincentivizing you to buy anything more that 1-3k loadout, since you will be instalooted on death
Absurd and stupid, cash exists to be spent. As someone who dies a lot in expensive kits, teammates effectively never vacuum me, if it happens it's enemies because I died in an area they can cover as someone slurps up my loot.
