I got so many tips you could make a second video, but here is 5. 1.) If you have an idea and everyone you pitch it to says "no, that would never work" do it. 99/100 the enemy is thinking the same thing. 2.) A zerg is a wall, and unless you have a bigger zerg, you won't win. Flank it, starve it let it die out. 3.) You owe it to yourself to at least once, grab a wrench, a rifle and a few clips of ammo and disappear. You never know what you may find. 4.) Your enemy is smarter than you think and your friendlies are far more idiotic than you imagine. 5.) The wisest person on your team will talk about their failures more than their successes.

This is wonderful. I'm going to direct everyone I can to this video, because this is wonderful advice. Here's my advice. "Why isn't anyone doing X?" If you ever hear yourself, or someone else saying it, it means it's a problem, and it might as well be you who solves it. "Why is no one killing partizans?" "Why is no one building defenses?" Why is no one covering the flank?" These words are your cue to act, and make that your niche on the team. You'll help out the team, the war, and have some fun at the same time.

[@lucklesscomet4987]

I know this is pretty late, but I just started playing and I've already found my niche of just dragging friendlies to safety, and grabbing dead comrades belongings so they can be reused. It's amazing how much of the stuff would go to waste, and it's always rewarding to find a guy that pulled out a gun and 20 mags

[@samk3141]

I've spent like the last 2 hours, stocking up a garage with B Mats so players can craft vehicles without needing the travel :D

[@ChemySh]

This still rings true after the time this comment is posted. If you're cursing logi because your front hasn't been supplied an hour after asking, you might as well direct that energy to grab a truck and do runs yourself. People playing logi do it voluntarily knowing full well it also means foregoing frontline excitement. If you cuss out volunteers for not helping you enjoy your game, you're just encouraging people to not supply you. Or if you cant leave the front for some reason, semi-spam your shopping list in logi chat while leaving out the shit talking

I wanted to add a tip, can't remember if I saw this one: when in a squad, on the compass in the top right you will see a golden arrow marker. That is the direction of the squad leader.

[@jakobc.2558]

For logi: *Use the barge instead of the flatbed truck!* Reasons why: - The barge costs 150 Basic materials while the flatbed truck costs 35 Refined materials. While basic materials are easy to get, refined materials are infinetly more valuable, especialy at the start of a war when you dont have hammers yet. If you use the barge instead of a flatbed truck you can use the 35 refined materials to build war equipment. - If you are using a flatbed truck/barge then you will probably be transporting very valuable war equipment. This means that you simply can not afford getting killed by partisans. Since the barge has an incredible ammount of health and travels on water instead of on land it is extremely difficult to ambush and especialy difficult to destroy. Trust me when I say this: The barge is almost completely immune from regular partisans. - The barge is pritty slow, traveling at almost half the speed of the flatbed truck. However since it travels on water it can pritty much just drive in a streight line (especialy in the far west and east of the map) so in some cases it is actualy faster then the flatbed truck. - The flatbed truck only has the flatbed to carry containers while the barge has a flatbed and a trunk with 30 slots just like a normal logi truck. In other words: You can carry way more (for example you can use a shipping container full of supply crates and fill the trunk up with bmats). The only real disadvantage is that when loading up containers on the barge you will need to drive the container from the refinery/factory to the beach/port with a crane instead of just loading it on directly.

[@whitenight6114]

As a dedicated medic, number 7 and 58 really resonate with me. The loot that people carry to charge is insane, recently a group of people attacked and died with radio backpacks. They cost more than a normal radio, and why do you as infantry need so many. Number 58, people so often just stand their, crouch, aim, don't let the enemy just snipe you/charge.

[@soni3608]

*me who only carries a rifle, a clip, and a bayo when im charging* honestly its sad to see how wasteful people are. when i aint charging, i normally go as a frontline rat and am able to find INSANE amounts of loot

Depending on the battle field but my normal load out is argenti 2-3 extra clips and a bandage. The busier fronts just a pistol. Normally fill the other slots easily within a minute or 2 if I survive that long. To me the most important item is the bandage. That alone has won me so many fights

[@John_Stuhlmacher]

I'm still relatively new to the game, but I got one: Watch out for barbwire. It often surrounds trenches and buildings, can be difficult to notice in chaotic situations, and you're practically frozen in place for a few moments if you get caught. Not a good situation to be in if the enemy advances

[@moose501st9]

tip 42 8:11 NO! Never leave harvesters at the node, easy pickings for partisans. Take them back to the logi hub and put them into storage.

[@geoffrey111995]

I guess it depends if the node actually has proper defenses or not.

[@mokomothman5713]

Flares are your best friend, when defending at night. Oftentimes, enemies like to get a better position in the darkness, because they know you can't see them. A flare will illuminate the darkness and expose those targets in the open.

[@geoffrey111995]

Want to add additional tips? Put them in the comments below! My bonus tip is that you should never dig trenches while on the defensive because unless you have AI protecting it, the enemy WILL capture it and use it against you.

[@kassandros8463]

Great video and to add one tip use cntl + left click on the map grid to put the map coordinates in the chat, can be extremly usefull for telling players exactly where something is.

[@krevetka9744]

It is possible to make trenches one-sided so that even if the enemy captures it - it will only trap them (only exit is through a bunker piece stairs leading into foxholes, or let them face a sandbag wall, be creative)

[@soni3608]

yes, when building a good trench always place a T2 sandbag with storage boxes to stand on so that if the trench is taken you can use the sandbags to shoot down onto the enemy other than that, always place barbed wire in a 180 around the trench, and place mines around the trench to kill any tank that tries to run over it.

[@Tristan-mc4wm]

for anyone reading this, as of the "Entrenched" update you can now ad sandbags to trenches as a modification. you can not vault or shoot over the side with those sandbag. So when building a trench remember to mod it so that the enemy has barbed wire facing them, and your friendlies have sandbags facing them. Work against your enemies, Not for them.

[@wobbleyheadedbob]

When you are not on the offensive, pre-sight all your backline arty on your friendly trenches. If the enemy makes a push and captures them you can respond with a welcome party of explosives.

[@graysaltine6035]

The guy telling newbies to join logi has the right idea - think of it as teaching a child the value of money. I see some people - even YT videos - telling new players they should start on the front lines but I don't think this is such a good idea. This is why you get guys taking 20 clips, 5 grenades and no gas mask, and dying 30 seconds later in a spot where no one can retrieve their gear before respawning and continuing in the same fashion for 10 straight minutes, wasting resources as well as potentially feeding the enemy team. New players don't know the value of items, and won't understand to what extent they can actually be hampering their team whilst learning the game. If all new players listened to that guy and the guy who said to *FINISH THE TRAINING COURSE* then half the other tips on this list wouldn't be an issue in the first place!

[@BMBOM-tm3sf]

One tip advisable to know is one square on the map equal to 100, this is useful when you didn't has a spoter, but you need to shoot from howitzer also where you shoot need to be watchtower because in who are you gonna be shoot if you don't know where to shoot

I have the best, play the game you have as if it was for you! You cannot force anyone to play your way, just cooperate, if you are in a clan or want to role play, follow the rules that were presented to you. I will play my way because this game is stressful, with my friends we farmed and built many vehicles and the next day they disappeared someone took them. So enjoy playing the game.

[@bryanvillaseca2648]

EXTRA TIP: when building trenches try to build wire the side who is facing the enemy and build sandbages the side were you come from, in that way, it allow you to shoot the enemy behind the wire, also makes enemies slow when they try to take your trench... if they take it the sandbages will force the enemy to lean to and not take cover, also when you try to retake the trench, sandbages will alows you natural cover and maybe enemy will not spot you for lack of vision...

[@kagtkalem7115]

My trick would be: If you hover your crosshair over the enemy player, the crosshair will snap and you won't be shooting over them. Rifles are generally great weapons through the war. But there are few things: Always try to rest your gun. If you see some rocks, trees etc. run to them and rest your gun. If you are in the open, never sprint around if you don't know where the enemy is, instead move slowly while walking and crouch immediately. Crosshairs of rifles are too sensitive to movement. If you know where the enemy are coming from (means you are protected from flanking) and have clear line of sight, don't be afraid to go prone. Pronong stabilises your gun just like cover does. At night, don't use rifles. Use smgs or storm rifles instead because they have better aim on the move so you won't be in a dire situation if you suddenly encounter enemy.
