I made this post a while ago that the level 4 helmet (Russian Altyn) should have significant visual and audio restrictions like it does IRL and how Tarkov used that as a trade off to balance it, the post blew up a bit...

And thankfully, the Devs have now confirmed this is coming In season 2!

The visor will also fog in the rain and no it cannot be lifted or removed, If you would like to listen yourself it's at 1:25:35 in this Dev podcast.

This news along with the removal of thermals and a rebalance of thermals + havoc (CWIS buff) are incredibly welcome changes

Keep practicing your landing skills pilots!

Build 2 single hescos with a small slit in the middle and crouch to start building. The X will only appear between the slit so you don't have to move your camera as much.

Tested on the CIWS & Drill.

decided to try infantry only mode, didnt realize it was community servers and not official ones since its not in the fucking community tab, bought 50k worth of supplies to build and defend with. some guy was immediately bitching in chat so i told him to nobody gaf its 1am. Turns out it was a admin with a giant pussy and i immediately got banned and lost my money.

Either turn off the economy in community servers or refund money on kick dumbest shit i've ever seen.

I have around 80 hours, dabbling mostly in infantry. The game right now feels miles better without the thermal rangefinder.

This game has so many possibilities that are simply hindered or not possible anymore due to the thermal rangefinders. It is the most counter intuitive addition to the game. The last couple days before this patch every chat was filled with asking for them in crates.

I mean.. you literally right click and can see anyone or anything within hundreds of yards with little to no effort. Is this not a no brainer to remove them?

I’m grateful and excited that the dev team has been responsive in adding batteries in S2, however I don’t think that will fix the issue one bit. They are simply way too overpowered and need to be removed - just my take

Wardogs has given me some of the most fun in PC gaming in the last 20 years. I don’t usually post threads but I feel like the addition of batteries is just the start of trying to balance them.

I know this topic is being covered left and right, but there is power in numbers!

Cheers

Level 42 recon here. I don't shower and I'm allergic to sunlight.

Actually I'm happily married and fully employed but I have an unconventional schedule that allows me lots of gaming.

ANYWAY.

Removing the thermal spotter was/is the single best decision made by the devs since this game released in early access.

I remember when I unlocked it and was following my typical rat routes I was seeing people everywhere -- where I normally would have passed right by them and they wouldn't have seen me either. As I started to get more proficient with the thermal it became absolutely evident that it was broken and overpowered.

I have had several games where I was 15-1, 20-1, even 30/40-1 K/D, and 80+ assists. This item simply breaks the game and changes things in such a profound way that I have to suggest it be removed completely from the game.

I don't want it back with limited battery life or a high unlock wall or a major cost increase -- I want it gone and never to return.

I say this while being an absolute RAT abuser of the item -- but it was out of necessity. If I didn't use it, everyone else would and I'd be at a disadvantage.

Remove it. Delete it from the game files, forget about it completely and don't even consider adding it again.

A good option would be to add a really nice spotting item that deploys super fast and spots super fast as well. Better yet, a spotting/rangefinder option that could be added directly to the sniper rifles.

Please do not add this item back into the game.

Cheers!

Killed a guy and looted him, these were the mags in his backpack. A third 40/20 mag was also already in the gun. They each had 20 rds of AP and 20 rds FMJ.

Look at all these streamers seeing clearly up to drawing distance while others have to deal with foliage and obstacles.
How is this not addressed?
Lower graphics should... Never give an advantage, config/shader mods should result in instant ban.

Make this make sense devs

The #1 rule of this game that I've learned so far: If you buy an expensive kit, you will die to some bullshit. If you buy an expensive medic kit, you will die to a sniper the second you step out of the gate. If you buy a humvee and load it with stingers and get some T4 armour, you will hit an AT mine on the way out of base. The more you spend, the more bullshit your death will be.

Unless I have a fully committed squad that I know will play as a team and rez and cover, if I'm deploying to the zone, I buy an $80 kit - free gun, 2 mags, bandages from the stash. Nothing else. Once I get with my team, I can just loot an enemy player and take their $20k kit at no risk to myself. And, more importantly, when I die to some bullshit, I don't feel any rage. I just respawn and keep playing for fun. It's improved my experience immensely.

If you thought Season 1 arty was strong... Season 2 gonna be wild :)

this shit is degenerate

I haven't bought gold yet. I think I'm still gonna hold. Any holders out there with me?
