Foxhole Infantry Update! Trying Out The New Gear in Foxholes Annual Update

[@i-guess]

Pssst, the bardiche actually has a FASTER reload now

[@BlueLaminate]

"reload duration increased from 3.5 to 4.5s" *realization* ....oh GOD THATS FOR BOTH SHELLS THE AVERAGE RELOAD SPEED PER SHELL IS FASTER

[@lek289]

@@BlueLaminate The total reload speed difference is very minor. Its 5.5 -> 5.3 seconds per shell. This mostly just means that the extra shell change is basically all that was changed. But like you said in the video, it was definitely a significant power spike and influence in the direction of the tank.

[@dewatined520hj6]

3:28 "welcome to bosnia " was perfect lmao😂

Great coverage this war Laminate! It's always a pleasure watching your animations, models, and distinct style!

[@BlueLaminate]

Is that... the TRAILER VOICE GUY FROM THE PRESS CORPS? :o

[@blazeburner303]

the gallagher tank series has become a squad based tank: one outlaw, 2 brigands, and either a thornfall or highwayman depending on urban or field combat is a scary combination that can really screw up collie tank lines if they coordinate well lol

[@krios4141]

Never the highwayman, the changes to 20mm made this thank literaly pointles.

[@blazeburner303]

@@krios4141 the rapid armor stripping is actually REALLY good in squadplay, that's why I called the series a squad tank a solo highwayman is no longer sensible and people are just stubbornly refusing to adapt to it's new role and dismissing it outright...

[@gwetraus9426]

@@blazeburner303 The sad thing about the armor stripping role of the highwayman is that it has to get in range of the enemy, and its effective range is 30m. Which put the tank in a lot of danger to just make the enemy armor slightly worse, which would happen anyway over time in a prolongated fight

[@Sinaeb]

@@blazeburner303 rapid armor stripping? I've chased a solo bardiche half a hex with an HWM and it barely had armor damage after it got into a place we couldn't follow because of AI

[@WarChaserz]

@@blazeburner303 the point of the HWM was taking care of subsystems, not armor You can shred armor quickly with the Burst ATR And which faction relies on armor on most of their tanks? Wardens, most colonial tanks have high health than armor I have tested it alot this war and you are better off using an ATR, the HWM already had bloom out of all tanks main armament wise, and with the new update it has gotten way worse.

[@CaptainDan1944]

Lovely video! I haven't had the time to explore all the new additions from this update, so this was more than welcome!

[@evi602]

The nemesis is very hard to track, because of the side skirts the hitbox is hard to hit with AT grenades and stuff. Not to mention the track chance is quite low, at 10%. Most tanks are around 20-30.

[@scribblerstudios9895]

5:00 “do you know how much paperwork we gotta do?” Ah the greatest threat of the military. Paperwork. Probably a few pieces for the mine. Let’s see… incident report, medical report, whatever degree of punishment papers for the ding dong who dropped it, requisition papers for a new mine and personnel…. Am I missing any?

[@BlueLaminate]

The paperwork for sending the body home, I guess :(

[@scribblerstudios9895]

Ah yes. And any of the papers required for condolences and post Morten awards and any life insurance payouts

[@Shizuroku]

I personally think this update was good, I really like the nemesis, and like you said it like never gets tracked. I think my favorite introduction was the quick hatch, now Collies finally have a sniper that is good at its job! Also it's been six months as a member and I've gotta say I really love your content, especially your models, keep up the good work!

[@BlueLaminate]

Thanks :D ill do my best. sadly I only got a chance with the quick hatch at the end of the war, with that sniper squad. Didn't get a chance to obliterate infantry with it :

[@bradcaldwell1284]

That’s hilarious that was me in the nemesis @ 2:49 😂the warden was doing work with those stickies

[@nahruz.w3044]

As a new player I thought all this features existed all along, surprised to see that vet is also getting use to change

[@BlueLaminate]

Try playing foxhole with unstable connection. Suddenly the 200 rmat in you inventory dissapear, or you have to walk half of the map back to logi truck all because you got kicked out of the game😂😅

[@BlueLaminate]

Do you think the nemesis has a face only a mother could love, or it is really not that bad? Edit: anti tank damage against small boats was just reduced in a hotfix oh well rip 20mm pirates :( (although it was probably right for balance)

[@Aaron-cf6hw]

Ugly as sin (I love it, its health is obscene tho)

[@darksaiyan2006]

It's definitely super recognizable. It looks like it should die a lot more easily though.

[@sayote178]

Warden tankers kept getting the big L each update, I've been commander/driver this war and it's just to difficult to go against a nemesis with just our base tanks, so many times a nemesis gets away from a fight because it's too hard to track and gets disabled at 20%. It's such a strong tank to deal with because of the anti tank 68mm gun. I've seen a Bunker base on callahan's passage get destroyed easily with just the tremola launcher on its back. It's a jack of all traits tank.

[@Sinaeb]

@@sayote178 the barrel is a hit collider so you can just aim for it for bonus pen chances

[@doc4000]

As someone who's kinda into actual tanks, I like it, and it makes sense. "tanks" with wheels are actually not that rare (I forget specific names) since the wheels make them easier to repair and maintain, which is better for small militias.

[@Clsick19]

I enjoyed the content. Thank you.

[@lek289]

8:47 - This is factually incorrect. The bardiche change was exclusively a buff. It’s functional reload time went from 5.5 seconds to 5.3 seconds. It had its firing period (the time before addition actions like shooting or reloading can occur) reduced from 2 seconds to 0.3 seconds, and it’s reload increased by only 1.5 seconds. This means that it’s reload is 5 seconds after a .3 second delay where before it was 3.5 seconds after a 2 second delay. So it’s actual fire rate has been increased a tiny amount, while it can now pre load an extra round before engagements. This just makes it better at the start of an engagement. There was no drawback to this change.

[@BlueLaminate]

Yep, that's my bad, it's a faster reload time per shell, the patch notes said "reload duration increased from 3.5 to 4.5 seconds" so I took it at face value. I've pinned the comment of the first guy to mention it The video does mention the advantage of pre loading 2 shells, I wish I had the footage of the first volley that shad & tear's bard on that SHT - the first 2 shells tracked and turreted the poor thing.

[@lek289]

@@BlueLaminate 👍love the vids btw.

[@lek289]

The nemesis does not have a higher than standard chance to be turreted. It’s 25% which is in the average range of most mediums (20-25%). The track chance on it is 10%, and it’s hard to actually hit the tracks especially with the new bloom system on tanks.

[@WarChaserz]

it gets disabled at 20% which only the Ironhide had this ability

[@BlueLaminate]

Guess my nemesis experience was just a mix of bad luck (repeatedly turreted) and good luck (escaping a bane gang and 4 stickies both without getting anything disabled) RNGesus please hahahaha Edit: OH RIGHT the new bloom system vs the wheels mightve accounted for the never getting tracked thing. Still nuts though

[@Viktor-zg6co]

the nemessis is really fun, me and my mate 2 maned that thing and destroyed 2 HTDS an outlaw and took out a bunker base. we did more than the 3 falchions and the bt standing around

[@jaimevalencia6271]

Saw 3 wardens rush a nemesis yesterday and they had sticky nades. It indeed did not get tracked as I thought it would

[@AnthonyDamasco-b1c]

Love using the nemesis to flank around

[@NoEndingInSight]

For the longest time the colonials only had the push gun and falchion for garage build able tank defenses. If a town got surrounded and you sneak in rmats, your choices kinda sucked compared to the endless HTDs a surrounded warden town could produce. Finally having a silverhand adjacent is great. Both for the surrounded town scenario and casual players to just jump into a tank and go to the front. The on-road speed making it even more casual friendly.

[@marineveteran92]

It does feel like the Nemesis is invincible at times and do I have a clip for you where a BT + vetted Outlaw COULD NOT kill mine & my drive and myself along with another Nemesis said "We Ball" to a Warden SHT and killed it

[@Coram.Deo.]

Nemesis having 10% tracked chance and can move forward and backward at blazing speed is pretty OP. Hope they tweak it for the upcoming war.

[@sirneko1278]

I fcking love the grayhound, good lore it is hard to setup your shot but once you are ready, there is nothing the enermy can do. Want to shoot me, good luck with suppression, charge in, gayhound can one shot. And i dunno if its just me but it is wayyyy more accurate than dawn

[@BlueLaminate]

Maybe it's just a skill issue on my part hahaha I gotta try the Grayhound next war, for sure

[@sirneko1278]

to be fair you shouldn't use it agains infantry, i was larping with grayhound, for the luls :D

[@fvlamentastormbringer3141]

tbf i think that if your a medic player and theres a front line with a solid backline base to store the train in, youd use it like a hospital driving ambulances from the front and back lines to reduce the need of shirt logi. each train might bring 3-6 ambulances with them depending on how heavy fighting is. then safely remove the train if frontlines and hub is either getting to close or far. estimate reduce logi runs in half for shirts and can also supply other bunkers low on shirts.

[@Sepiathief]

Big collie W! Hell yeah

[@Markty07]

I think the nemesis is a tad too strong, the only thing I would nerf is speed on non-roads, because a wheeled tank shouldn't be able to pursue other tanks there

[@BlueLaminate]

It's making up for its looks, let it have it hahahaha In all seriousness though, I really wonder what stats the devs have on the Nemesis in 119, and whether they'll act on that if it really needs a nerf. That clip of our 3 nemesises popping out of the bushes from 3 different positions off road to take out that chieftain felt a little dirty with those wheels hahaha

[@Demokrat11]

is this video a reupload from last month or just suuper late? confused...

[@BlueLaminate]

Well the first war with the new equipment just ended, and using them in the field is different from using them in the development branch pre-war. I wanted the experience of using the new gear with randos to see how the new stuff faired in "real world conditions"

[@mr_indiananas]

For information, the nemesis have a 10 % track chance, and a 25% turret and fuel chance. It's also disabled under 20 % and not 30 %.

[@learningthroughpain.7215]

Good video, only problem I have as a regular infantry player is the same running speed being applied for everyone regarless of the weight. Back in old times your movement speed was determined by how much you carried of what item. That should come back.

[@BlueLaminate]

Well, having everyone's run speed being the same no matter how much they're carrying made sticky rushes a little deadlier for tanks tbh, so I think it really helps infantry feel less oppressed by armor. Though I can imagine that removing the movement penalty incentivized people to carry expensive stuff that they otherwise wouldn't have hahaha

[@learningthroughpain.7215]

@BlueLaminate I think the new system has a right, old system allowed shadow dance, infiltirating bases without equipment & skill just by exploiting, but everyone running same doesn't fit for MMO imo. A new system could be conjured up.

[@williamsmith3848]

Yooo I knew that was you in the landing craft at 6:42 lol

[@TheKingreiko]

It's kind of rough that Colonial get Bardiche and Nemesis both 68mm, Bard with 2 shots and Nemesis feel extremely bulky and hard to deal with. While Wardens get tanks put behind a Facility which a lot of players will never do, including me, and get a tank with 3x 30mm.

[@TheLonelyM]

Poor wardens can't counter bardiche with 35m range using 45m range tanks...

[@enges4462]

​The nemesis having same HP as falch with almost none drawbacks is wild

[@WolverineTheWhite]

The bard was the last tank to need a buff, let alone faster reload time. -_-

[@SirAroace]

FH can also be used a spawn points

[@BlueLaminate]

OH RIGHT. My brain just ignores the medical respawn button every time lol I forgot to partisan this war to experience the new respawn mechanics too ;_;

[@BlueLaminate]

A widow with a 45m range is the stuff of nightmares HAHAHAHA

[@stormy1055]

​@BlueLaminate In my opinion, the Nemesis should have a higher disable chance since it's so slim. Everything inside is compact, so 1 shell that penetrates it should have big damage.
