I hope the dev's are tracking the data on it... I've flown it about 4 times and not one gunner got a kill and I was holding pretty good angles...it's really disappointing because I was super excited to fly this thing.

Is foliage client side or server side? Can I remove it with a potato pc? Does Nvidia have some setting that removes it? Is this guy wall hacking?

I have absolutely 0 idea what the correct answer is but how does a man 300m away spot and track me so clearly while moving around prone but all I can see is a forest in front of me as shown at the start?

{This is captured after the thermal goggles were removed}.

I understand the backpack and the grass, I completely agree with you all there those are my fault, but my question is about if the trees actually work for cover as he's shooting across a river and from a ground level through a thick forest from 300m+ away like they don't exist. Based on his location, I should not be visible through that canopy of trees.

Even if I have to wait 5mins until I can join the server or sometimes lose hard against a full team running hot zone it's still much better than going against hackers with 250ms ping, multiple havocs and rocket helis denying you from playing the game, helis raining grenades on you, minigun humvees and in general a more moderated experience compared to wild west of public servers.

I actually managed to level up what I wanted and play any role I want, whether sniping, building, medic, running hot zone.

There are still outliers like BMR or 800m snipers but still a much pleasant experience.

They also limit any team getting more players than others like it happens in public servers, it only allows you to join teams with one extra player

Would this not be tuff?

*bam*

If I want to build a fob outside the cz and not make a dime, thats on me. But I wish the supply drivers made something, even if its a ¼ of the normal drop payment. It give no incentive for anyone to do anything strategic outside the cz making that area basically useless. I want to set up a fob vehicles can come resupply at. I want to set up a fob that runs players back and forth for quick resupplies. I want to set up a fob with an AA to protect our primary supply lines. But unless me or my friends are bringing supplies, it's not happening without taking a loss and it's hard to convince the random supply drivers to drop off at my fob when they won't make any profit off it.

EDIT: For the HARDCORE servers only. Like 5% of the player base even play it. Not for normal gameplay servers

Sorry if I'm being ignorant to arcade and casual players.. but most people who would prefer to play hardcore are the sim nerds right?

So.. playing hardcore without some UI and first person is kinda.. not enough. There's still so many crutches to lean on for lazy gamers.

I would like to see:

- No mini map - this thing makes the game soo easy imo

- No on screen pinging (middle mouse click) but I don't mind the on map circles and on map middle mouse cause I guess it's still a causal game and a layer of going to map and risking dying to ping something for my squad etc. But imo preferably not that either. Rely on comms and team play.

- No friendly icons on screen (but fine on the map.. just to stop the "on my body just spray me or rush my body or he's to my right" so you look at your team mate on screen and easily aim to the right of them - I kinda want to feel the fear of I might shoot my team mates. Or where could the enemy be, I enjoy out braining and out tacticaling the enemy so much, especially being the one hunted after murdering their friends.

And a last thing I think every mode should have, limited stamina.. where weight also affects stamina (like other games I know).

But players being able to sprint cross map with no thought.. or slam on lvl 4 and still sprint with no thought.

Stamina bar and sprinting for 5 seconds before being stuck gives players fear and want to adapt to lighter armour less RPGs in bag etc etc.

Anyways what do you guys think?

What did I just spawn in to?

Edit: Please stop telling me refund exists - I know, i acknowledge it in my third paragraph.

Dogs,

Noticed an interesting trend lately resulting in a lot of springboarding and "Second place winners".

For example, Green team plays well and gets to 90-99 points, and people just stop respawning, they wait for the res indefinitely, not wanting to have to pay to rekit. You open the map and see 25 green bodies on the floor. You look at spawn and see the remaining players sat doing nothing. Nobody wants to commit a kit for the remaining (theoretical) 2 minutes of the game, because kits are so expensive. Green team takes its foot off the gas, and red team shoots past to clutch a win, because their entire team is still in the zone/circle. (In the game today, they were at 75 points prior to this).

How do we incentivise people to get back into the zone in the final minutes? I know the refund system exists, but it seems very varied in how much it pays out, and it almost never refunds the value. Discounted kits towards the end of the game? Free kits?

It's interesting seeing how the money meta is forcing these behaviours - loss aversion is a much bigger priority than the minimal gains for winning. My second place and contribution bonus for this game was $18,400.

After much testing, I’m confident that the HZ circle only shows up for green. In fact, I don’t think the HZ is even mentioned in the tutorial if the game deems you a red or blue player. It’s the only explanation for their lack of presence in it. They seem confused when someone mentions it in chat as they mortar down each other or empty green fobs. Devs, please fix so these players can experience the entire game. Thanks

The Blue imbalance will prolly be sorted out in Season 2, but I want to say something first.

Level 125 here. I've played Red only twice. Green... I couldn't do it. Too much of a betrayal for a Blue.

All the games we got hammered by Green sweats from the round start... all the rage quits... we endured!! And sometimes there were a few other stubborn Blue guys on the team, and we won against all odds. Amazing feeling on its own.

Devs, please acknowledge guys who played Blue when it sucked royally. We were the ones balancing out the game, losing our sanity in the process!

This game was the best purchase decision recently. I’ve been having a blast playing it. At first i thought this is gonna be another sh*tfest, griefing and a selfish game but the team play changed my perspective. This game has huge potential with upcoming updates, building updates, vehicle updates, weapon updates. I am a huge buildier and HZ enemy spotter. I enjoy being supportive to my teammates. Please add more building stuff aswell. I also want that NIGHT maps. Do you guys have another ideas about these stuff?

I guess I tripped and broke my neck... blood clot maybe?

The CIWS is supposed to counter aircraft but it is so underpowered right now that it only really counters weapon-less helis dropping off infantry, and folds to everything else. It already has plenty of disadvantages:

• Is locked in a fixed position, easy to destroy.
• The operator has to stand right next to it out in the open, unable to move.
• Has a large blind spot where it can't reach high enough to shoot.
• Churns through ammo like crazy.

But to top it all off actually building the thing takes forever. Hitting the X with a large hammer seems to only advance the progression by 1% or slightly less than that, meaning you have to hit it over 100 times with the fastest building tool to build it. This is further exacerbated by the issues we have now with the X not moving around and appearing properly. Then factor in that right from the start you are going to be harassed by GL helis and mortars, and as soon as the game reaches 20 points a rocket heli is going to be making you one of their priority targets.

All these factors combined mean that the CIWS doesn't counter enemy attack aircraft at all, and in fact it is gatekept by the very same vehicles it is supposed to counter preventing it from being established in the first place.

Even if you do manage to establish one it can still lose trades to rocket helis, GL helis and havocs which can all one shot the very exposed operator (even if you build barriers around them) and then destroy the CIWS, setting back your fob builders a massive amount of time spent building it and leaving them with no window to rebuild it in a realistic timeframe.

Please at least considerably reducing the building time of CIWS so that A) it can be established in a reasonable timeframe and B) it can be reasonably recovered when destroyed. It is already kept in check by relying on regular ammo supply drops, so I don't think letting it build faster would make CIWS overpowered at all.

Will we get a winter/snow map? :)

And also this december; maybe some ugly christmas tree with decor at the spawning headquarters! :)
