Tips for new players?

Dont forget there is also GAS , they switch sides every other war. So does odin, but they are mainly sneaky squirrel / intel guys.

The Colonial national guard

And user, dont forget to commend your logi drivers who may save you a super long walk.

OP here
I watched a Warden run around Colonial lines lobbing grenades and racking up kills. Took 5 rifles aimed at him to finally get a beat on him

He dropped 16 grenades and nothing else

I THINK COLONIALS SUCK

It would be 1000x times better.

Come and play hell let loose instead.

I can run Squad fine on Medium-Low, is that enough for Hell Let Loose?

Should be plenty, think that HLL has lower requirements than squad too but not certain.
It's faster paced and less autistic in any case.

he is american

I too am on collies but I literally have no one to play with

Honestly we should set up Yea Forums squads and just call them Vards or Vollies, but I donno if Yea Forums plays this game so much.

How does it compare?

I like Foxhole but dislike the "combat" so much.

Play under 2 hours and refund.

Foxhole is top down, isn't it?
Hell let loose is a classic fps, hardcore but a bit lighter on the logistics thing.

Not sure I like the new logi

I actually want to discuss it with someone who isn't in the official forums right now

I came back for the War Machine update and the flatbed trucks and containers and everything is super cool as fuck. But then when I'm trying to re learn the logistics I realized that there's so much trouble in getting to ANY vehicle done by yourself. The refined Materials yield is really low for really big requeriments; something like 125 refined mats for 5 armored car pieces (which now must be transported to a motor pool workshop for assembly, that means 5 finalized ACs), but the farm is timecapped by the autofarming components. There's a single farm that, when full of farmed components, it yields something like 700 components, which, they're roughly 35 Refined Mats which, they are produced something along each 30mins.

SO, to get 5 ACs, you need two hours of farming scrap components, and then waiting for them to "cook" for refined mats, which can be another hour and a half it seems. THEN you have the pieces, and you HAUL THEM to a motor pool for assembly. SHITS TOO MUCH.

>It's to prevent spam of the AC things

Well, the combat is only interesting when the big toys roll in. The infantry combat revolves around shooting to the screen corner without feedback or knowing the fuck are you doing. And in the end, makes little difference without dem Armored stuff or siege stuff.

TLDR I THINK IT'S FUCKED unless you're into an autist clan of 4 or 5 people running errands.

autist logi clan member here, don't worry, even with 6-7 people we're struggling to supply basic shit like GS and shirts to regions with no refineries or factories.

we're just switching over to stockpiling for BT at this point, it's just stupid how rare they made rmats and petrol, not to mention advanced ammo factory requirements, holy shit

>Farming mats
>Not waiting for the clans to sleep so you can steal their shit in their forts.
Also they made the refineries communal so you can search on the map which one have the most Rmats and take some.

I just noticed this and feel like this is fucked up. The yields are capped, so doesn't matter if you work in teams or not, it's gonna take a fixed time to get shit done. Also that shit is gonna get blown and squandered in seconds, so i'm wondering if it's any good anyways.

Are you a Warden? what group are you in?

Is it worth playing?

I dunno if you ever played before the patch, around when they introduced relic vehicles.

We used to run 2 full BTs with guys who'd come online as soon as tanks were done, and we'd always have SOM around, but cruising through Warden megaforts in a line of 6 BTs was some of the most fun I've had, period.

Tell me of the Jade Cove incident, boomer user

I wanna do that, gimme some tips

Wardens nuked their own town and lost all morale lmao

Get a truck, load it up with BMats, save the pushing people with your truck support

Yes, it's the most successful attempt so far to simulate a large-scale war in which every soldier is controlled by a single player

>first war with the nuke update
>wardens were pushing hard and had colonials on the ropes by the mid-point of the war, all seemed lost
>despite this colonials still got the first nuke off and hit a warden special ammunition factory, wardens were set to retaliate
>on farranac coast the wardens had heavily fortified jade cove, it was the center of their operations at farranac and had a special ammunition factory, another nuke launch site was a few minutes above it
>fighting was fierce at jade and while the colonials had gotten close multiple times, they never captured it
>right before the wardens were gonna launch the nuke, colonials attacked jade cove again and were making decent progress
>the warden clan in charge of the nuke panicked and decided to aim the nuke at jade cove despite the protests of LITERALLY every other warden, blue on blue fighting occurred as non-clan wardens rushed the nuke site but were gunned down by the clanners
>by the time the nuke finally launched, the wardens had retaken jade cove. The missile killed dozens of wardens and knocked out their factory, wardens were killing each other all over the place so the colonials went from on the ropes to pretty much having won in the span of a day.

Ahhahahahahah
Where the fuck are the anons from earlier saying Wardens are better than Colonials?

It was a betrayal like nothing else

What was the clan named again?

I think it was Warden North Star

It was an ebin troll from a shitter Warden clan. Warden still wins the most wars, so...

>Shotgun still not nerfed
>Leading people to victory as a commander
>No commends at all
Being a commander is super frustrating, COMMEND ME YOU FUCKING FAGGOTS

Also apparently theres a nuke now? Sounds stupid, I signed up for World War 1, and was promised trenches, now we got nukes, boats, shotguns, and dumb shit.

I miss when this game was f2p, every server was full and battles were intense, and the game wasn't struggling for players

Warden here

Wardens have won almost all of the wars, better uniforms and sexier vehicles, but for some reason it seems they suck at combat and there's everytime some collie running commando with a shotgun taking out 4 people or 5 before falling.

Jade Cove was a betrayal and the WNS are to shoot on sight.

>new players?
That game still gets them?

There's a sale right now with the new update

It's everything it should be, done wrong. I guess it's early to tell or the balance still needs some tweaks.

Is there an up to date retard's guide to logistics anywhere? The basic training has no signs or any other indication of what to do, and all the top steam guides are years out of date.

I'm getting PTSD flashbacks to Planetside, but this is still much more info than what basic training gives. Thanks user.

Real nigga shit part 1

- Stop walking in front of emplacements while defending. You know how many retards get shot by their own AI emplacements? Far too many so don't be one of them. Also, in a related tip...

- Stop fucking building emplacements BEHIND the sandbag walls. What's wrong with you? I know you THINK you are being clever doing staggered defensive lines but that doesn't work when they are both in the same screen, fucko. All you do is block line of sight for our emplacements, risk the AI shooting our own guys AND making it a pain for US to walk around. Seriously, there's far too many retarded engineers walking around, pic related.

- Watch your spacing. It's cliche but it's true. People in groups tend to walk really close together which make it harder to avoid any area attack and defend themselves and this is specially a huge problem with bridge fights. If you are in a bridge assault and the group ain't organized, forget it. Back off and reinforce OUR side of the bridge instead, find some cover or a house to fire from. Why? Because in every single bridge assault there's a dozen guys all blocking each others' firing lines, preventing vehicles from getting through (or worse, preventing them from retreating at critical moments) and since no one ever crouches or goes prone, at best you'll only have a couple guys truly able to fire without shooting others in the back. It's not worth it and it's a massive, embarrassing waste of resources.

- If you are a medic, don't save mongoloids that are in way too risky a position. There's always some dunning kruger posterchild that pushes too far, gets himself downed and then cries for a medic. Let them choke on their own blood. As a medic you are far more valuable stopping the bleeding of other retards who didn't pack bandages and the best way to do that is to patrol your line from a relatively safe distance, only helping those who retreat or are in solid cover.

I would but I don't think my computer can run it

sandbag are cheap and excellent cover, 100-200 bmats is enough to build a minifort of sandbags impervious to small arms fire. bunkers, AT turrets, and walls are more permanent defenses meant to be built after the fighting has moved up.

I get the feeling they might scale it back a little bit, they NEED to make vehicles easier to get. how are people going to do logi otherwise? the game literally runs on it

What are the numbers on the new mines? How often does an oil well make a crude barrel when on Diesel? and Petrol?

Best ask the playerbase in game. You'll get more info out of them than the underage frognigger users on Yea Forums

Real nigga shit part 2

- Sandbag forts are trash. People love doing these dumb sandbag walls with another sandbag line to use as a "step" but they never work right and any vehicle driving into them ruins them. Just stop wasting everyone's time and use foxholes. Foxholes hidden in vegetation are incredibly powerful as an ambush position.

- Rifle grenades are insanely good. The launchers themselves were actually nerfed this patch, made more expensive, but that's because they are godly. You can use them to hit unsuspecting enemies, hit vehicle crews dumb enough not to retreat far back for repairs, fuck up machineguns, clear bridgeheads... people are far too dumb to use smoke grenades so in the vast majority of cases, it'll be up to someone with a brain to deal with obstacles like those with rifle grenades.

- Radios are super useful and really cheap. If you are hunting enemies or defending any position with retard team mates then give yourself a radio or take the time to build a watch tower yourself. Being able to look at the map and see exactly where the enemy are is huge.

- AC machineguns can destroy other ACs. If you are in an armored car and you know what you are doing ie keeping your turret pointed in the direction where the enemy is most likely to come from, you can easily destroy enemy ACs and be a huge boon for your team during early-mid game. Halftrack machineguns can do this too.

- Shotguns are king during night time but rifles are best for everything else. Revolvers and carbines are good but should be reserved for medics/crews. Submachineguns are inferior to shotguns. Storm rifles are shitty rifles.

>is solo play really not that friendly?
The community is pretty good and you can typically find people to work with or get them to work with you. Trying to do all of logi yourself is tough, but even if you just focus on a single part of the process, you're helping someone else down the line.
Hell, even call for help in the chat if you're trying to get a logi chain going for something critically needed. It works more often than not.

The new fuel situation is fucking retarded. NOBODY is stocking petrol, it's all diesel. Either nobody understands you need both or nobody is realizing how difficult it really is to get petrol. The fuel split should have never happened. A majority of vehicles should be diesel anyways. Trucks, ACs, tanks, half tracks and flat beds are all diesel vehicles. The fuel is much more efficient for a heavy load vehicle. It doesn't make any sense that there's such a split. The devs are focusing too much on realism and not enough on gameplay.

>building up stocks when there's barely any tanks

I only ran logi transporting infantry supplies to fobs, how bad is the situation in production?

That's all useless basics and I very much doubt they show people how to build good emplacements or how not to fight like a dumbass.

/foxg/ when?

Mordhau + Foxhole
It would be epic

There was one but user is too autistic to play games like this. It was soon filled with people shitposting or posting screenshots of weak points in their own faction's defenses.

Maybe bump it up to 4-5 hours just to be safe.
