Question: What is the new Conclave of the world now that Oarbreaker is gone? Corrections: Armoured Fighting Tractor Fire rate reduced by 43%. Stability gain rate reduced by 50%. Magazine size increased from 50 to 75. Reload time increased from 4 to 6.5 seconds. Repurposed Truck Inventory size increased from 17 to 18. Storm Tank Armour health increased by ~41%. Minimum penetration decreased by 20%. Staff Car Inventory size increased from 9 to 10. Fuel capacity increased from 150 to 175. PL-1 “Phalanx” Armour health increased by ~55%.

I’m so glad cross faction chat is back, good memories

[@GonTar_X]

i agree! i hade one of the very best moments of partisan with a friend, after launching 4 harversters to the river, the owner came and was so sad, after downing both of us instantly with a SMG, we talked, and had a laugh about it, and we cheered him up, for filling us with holes before we went for more vehicles to send to meet the little mermaid. 10/10 wish they FIXED voice chat disconnecting and not reconnecting even if trying in-game options to reconnect too, i found out a hotfix is DISABLING IPv6 protocol on network properties for the network you use internet with, but who's gonna know that's a work around for some of the random Voice Chat Disconnects, pls fix it client/game side, having to log-off mid combat and restart the game to lose all your gear and miss the battles is not a good game mechanic

[@NoEndingInSight]

If ACs could get a late game variant that'd be great but also a design challenge. The only 2 ideas I can think of is a comand vehicle that gives extra binos range using those fancy range finding equipment used in WW2, as in you use that when you use the turret so you don't need to have binos. The other idea would be to make them really good at QRF; give them a better gun, faster offroad speed and amphibious.

[@thepbg8453]

A fully enclosed Variant with better armour which could loose the amphibious mode but makes it immune to gas attacks for improved crew survivability?

[@NoNameAtAll2]

we have APC, but it would be nice to have IFV as well

[@thepbg8453]

I drew one at one point

[@dasirrlicht5415]

I feel like the half tracks and the APCs are supposed to be that.

[@ThePandJ]

Make it a artillery spotting vehicle. Since arty ranges incresead over the years spotting has been untouched. Give them a MG for self defense and add an ability to spot 250m with it. That way they don't all become obsolete once LT's unlock

[@skylordmax7108]

Yes. This is better. Although I do miss being able to enter enemy vehicles, so you can’t fully recreate that moment. I missed cross faction VC so much, it led to some wonderful moments. Very happy that it’s finally back.

Wow warden medics will finally be able the joy we collies feel when having an gun in our second slot

[@quantuman100]

the standard gun is literally better than any of the alternatives =/

[@ThePoeticPariah]

"Colonials, you're getting a new auto rifle! Something to compete with the Sampo and is even more maneuverable than the LMG! Wardens, you, uh... have this rifle that was snapped in half, I guess. It's like a bolt action pistol! No need to thank us." Kidding, kidding, but legitimately was hoping for an LMG equivalent. :/

[@sosig6445]

actually i'm glad to recieve the sawed off rifle, tank commanders finally have a better option than the joke weapon that was the machine pistol and the weak ass stock pistol.

[@madtechnocrat9234]

its better than what colonials got. not just for tanks but also medics and frontline engineers.

[@Jebu911]

Also wardens speciality fire rockets meh lets give it to collies too. Also all their indirect weapons have way better range and to "nerf" that it takes 3 seconds longer for it to land. What a joke 😂

[@skylerruelas2903]

A few things I’d like for boats to have a direct fire option that actually matters. Sorry but the mg on the gunboat barely means anything unless you have a ton of gunboats I’d also like to see early armor fleshed out a bit more. Something like AFT’s but with an actual canon so front lines don’t bog down for 3 days right off the bat

[@saudade7842]

I wish gunboats could switch their main gun(s) from indirect to direct fire mode whenever they need to

[@timkats6635]

I remember being chased by an enemy gunboat with just the right wind to blast him at min range with our 120mm as we ran away. Disabled him and we got to take him out with our machine gun. Fun times! (Only worked this well the one time, tried it many times.)

[@davidty2006]

gunboats can do with a full rework tbh. might be coming next

[@soni3608]

[@samspeed6271]

Having the cross faction voice chat back is such a big improvement. Some of my most fun escapades in Foxhole have been while I was a POW or had a POW. It'll add back that layer of realism we've missed for a while. No opinion on the new maps yet, not played them (been mainly east of the map). On the plus side, it spices up the necessary movements of any fighting force on the western side. Fights in Westgate always followed the same pattern, Sanctuary>>Gallows>>Westgate Keep>>Longstone>>Cleanup, or that in reverse. On the downside, any amphibious landing on the west side is now much more difficult. We've also lost Sanctuary, which was my favourite place to do manic logistics whilst being bombarded by artillery (flashback to AW93 deliveries). Also, the new hexes seem very familiar - Sableport looks like Westgate but with the bay moved out to the west a bit and a lot less water; King's Cage looks like how I'd imagine Farranac but with land on the west side of the hex instead of open sea. And honestly, looking at the map, it just doesn't look as nice or flow as nice.

[@dasirrlicht5415]

Yes! Cross Faction Voicechat is back! I can finally suffer from psychological warfare again and bargin for my live with the QRF without fear of being shot while typing!

[@SuperslyNinjaguy]

Unsure when the devs said it was coming but I seem to remember a few dev streams ago they mentioned adding in the ability to put armed vehicles into reserve stockpiles. Is this in yet? Haven't been paying attention last few months to tell the truth.

[@ISawABear]

i think that or some of it happened last update since wardens have been storering chieftains the last few wars.

[@llillian4055]

Wait, how is it that the Collie light rocket tank has 50% more rockets than the Warden one?! And the only good Warden tank gets nerfed. Why would anyone want to be on the Blue team? Serious question, when a new player asks which team is better, isn't the honest answer "Collies have better gear that is cheaper (i.e. less of your time) to make?"

[@Jebu911]

Yeah colonials have always had the better stuff on most categorys but at least wardens have better cruiser tanks but thats the only thing they got going for them. All artillery range on warden stuff is dogshit too which feels like a big kick in the balls.

[@buk3295]

Happy cross faction VC is back Sad that my idea of using Falchion as armoured ammo carrier will never be realised (It could carry as much as a regular truck before).

[@DumbIShallBe]

i wonder if they can add fuel option not just water to the fire truck so we can rush the warden lines with a fire truck full of fuel adding fuel to the fire that incendiary rockets made

[@kajmak64bit76]

[@zombieranger3410]

It would be really cool to see armored cars take on more of a role as APC’s for lategame, although my inspirations are based more on Soviet BTR’s and M113 transports rather then good 1910-1940 examples. Something that can hold 4-6 people that can withstand more than 2 stickies, possibly hold a MG or “ports” to shoot rifles out of, and be quicker than most tanks. Optionally could have extra cargo space. Overall it would make a good fit as either a better late-game infantry harasser, or great for being behind a tank line to help during a push when you need a squad protected but in the fight. Even as regular troop transports if your worried about partisans. I know the landing APCs partially fill this role but they are uncovered and prone to grenades. They are meant for the ocean and rivers, not as the main armored transport.

[@davidty2006]

The IST is kinda that. Ngl i'd like to see more vics like the IST in the terms of role. Carrying extra shells, bmats and fuel for other vics or field guns.

[@Harry_B-v5j]

[@willhonorless2195]

Happy that the wardens finally get a good secondary weapon for specialists. It sucks being a medic or AT and having to rely on the pistol. Also happy for the return of cross faction chat because I've missed it. It's not as fun being silently placed down in front of a tank so they can squish you

[@iglidor]

Why would medics need it? Its less effective loughcaster. Warden medic loadout probabyl will stay the same, with loughcaster on primary slot and switching to doctor bag when needed. Its not as if medic supplies are heavy, or take too many slots, so you can afford to lug around normal rifle with spare magazine. And for AT, with what primary AT weapon would you ever bring this? With Cutlers and Bonesaw you would have to sacrifice 1-2 shells. Maybe it would be interesting with AT rifle, but considering that AT rifles are already extremely logistic intensive, getting more logistic in form of suplementary rifle to go with it seems kinda excesive. This will be interesting for tank commanders and passengers in the few vehicles where you can shoot from seats.

[@willhonorless2195]

@@iglidor the short rifle seems like more of a PDW than a proper combat rifle. Usually when I play medic I jump at the chance to bring looted pitch guns because it means I can have a spare mag and more med supplies, so this simplifies that. You're not on point, so a lower range weapon isn't too big a deal, but it's nice to have on you when you suddenly find you are on point As for AT, it means you can keep your AT ready and defend yourself against infantry. Swapping out weapons takes time and you're not about to shoot a rocket at infantry (20mm maybe, but definitely not rockets). And tank commanders are going to love this thing. Especially early on with the light tanks because 7.62 is cheaper than a 40mm. It's probably not going to be a big logistics deal, at least this war. It's the new thing so we're going to try it out. After that it might go the same way the pitch gun seems to go and be phased out, but I can only speculate on that

Sadly, you won't be able to relive that moment, because you can't get into enemy-occupied vehicles anymore.

[@ISawABear]

Ill find a way, just you watch

[@Duke_of_Petchington]

My issues with this game: Facilities are pointless unless you have got a large clan. Rails have border decay when that shouldn’t, also there need to be a dedicated railway line that spans the entire map via 3 north to south lines. We don’t need naval this early when a lot of the things serve no purpose anymore other than just glorified spawns, and hamlets that storage (they honestly feel like speed bumps than actually threats). (Relic bases and keeps we looking at you). We need hospital and Medical tents to actually help friendlies saving plasma. The downside it take long to recover and it takes a space that could be used to make a few shirts. I feel we should have a different way to win, one concept is to Build back the Warden Bulwark and modernise so it can’t be destroyed so easily (like after a certain stage not even nukes can break it. (Colonial get build the Colonial iron curtain). Improving the centre town into true Logi towns with MPFs and refineries. Saltbrooks, Sunhaven and the third I cannot remember. Old Logi town (viper pit’s for example) receive 3 regular factories and a refinery, this help relieve pressure of Logi town when travelling so far from the most northern and southern Logi towns. Finally don’t build anything higher than cruiser in the naval aspects unless coastal monitor are thought about.

[@____-sj5vi]

1:16 You still cant replicate that since they made it so you cant enter occupied enemy vehicles anymore :(

[@skylarken1184]

I'm noticing that they're still touching up on relic vehicles, despite how rare these vehicles are for casuall players to use. Hopefully they can be integrated in a more friendly and balanced way but we'll see with time. Might have something to do with facilities...
