John Foxhole's Art of War : Aiming Guide (Foxhole Inferno 1.0)

[@mivapusa]

Veteran since 76, aiming still is one area that continues to perplex me the most.

[@サイコクリエグ]

This is why i stick to logi or chucking grenades like throwing apples at a blind woman

[@DaglessMc]

Much respect to Logi.

[@kyle77b]

New to game, KZbin as always feeds me what I need. Good video my man

[@DaglessMc]

Glad I could help

[@crashdashdee]

10/10 - This video was fantastic! A comprehensive, illustrative and to the point breakdown for aiming in Foxhole! You actually taught me about aiming before a target, now I'm excited to put this into practice, as aiming past the target sometimes ISNT the play, but now I know ^.^

[@DaglessMc]

I hope it works out for you :) Glad i could help.

[@crashdashdee]

Any tips regarding aiming at people in trenches? it never feels like i can nail down how to aim at them properly

[@DaglessMc]

If you're aiming from another trench it can be really difficult, its really only feasible if they don't move. If you move you cursor behind them you can try to use small movement to try to get juuuuussst the right shot and you'll know when you have the right shot when the reticle is on the enemies head. if they crouch after you get the right spot you can just leave your cursor there and when they pop back up it should be fine. Its more a of a fringe tactic. personally i rarely do this. (It took me like 10 shots on target to kill the guy in my video) but it's good for getting people to move or take cover so friendlies can move up.

[@kubaGR8]

A lot of the time, shooting trench-to-trench just isn't possible due to terrain. You need to flank, fire from a higher elevation or try arcing weapons.

[@KremitLeFroge]

Thing stuff with it. There.

NICE

[@gandalfdafavela1044]

What type of câmera do you use?

[@DaglessMc]

I use Open Broadcast Software to record

[@batman6429]

Shadowdancing

[@DaglessMc]

Theres a couple ways to counter. 1) if you have a full auto weapon aim for the center fo their shadow dance and full fire. 2) Retreat until you are out of range of their shots and turn around and try to get them while they chase. 3) if all else fails, run up and punch em.

[@mivapusa]

Shotgun

[@hussar4472]

@@DaglessMc no, smg sometimes dont hit them and they always hit me before I even shot 5 times, its always 2 shots and u are dead, its just too stupid and destroy this game, I come back for new war and after 1 week I dont wanna play anymore bec this ppl still do same bullshit, 1 guy just run to you and kill 10 ppl bec he always hit... and simple he run away reload and do same again and again...

[@DaglessMc]

I'm sorry you're having a bad time. I understand the frustration. But you have to realize that shadow dancers are taking advantage of inexperience not Exploiting the game. you can counter them, sometimes it's harder sometimes it's easier depending on the situation. I've been killed by shadow dancers many times, i've killed shadow dancers many times and i've killed many people by shadow dancing. It takes alot of time and patience to learn how to deal with them (lag doesn't help )@@hussar4472

[@hussar4472]

​@@DaglessMc where is skill in it? when the guy just insta kill you bec he use exploit to shot always on the place when he wanted, and like I said u cant deal with them bec u cant shot bec he just shot 2 times and kill u instantly then he just run and kill everyone else with 2 shots, he never miss always kill and no, I dont need to spend time to play with that exploiters piece of shiet, I will just uninstall this game and never play again, this game is dying bec of this I have played this game since release but Im bored of this and I dont wanna be someone who do same bullshit

[@joblo1139]

Its der jern spertha

[@DaglessMc]

i... what?

[@munkymittens]

Can we just admit aiming is broken?

[@DaglessMc]

I haven't played in a while, but when i made this guide it definitely was not broken.

[@ASDASD34RDFS]

My opinion about aiming in this game, is that it's way too clonky and unnatural.

[@DaglessMc]

I'd disagree, But i get where you're coming from. The issue with having a robust and complex aiming system is that theres alot of allowance for issues to arise. But the pro is that you get way more player agency and way more interesting things can happen.

[@ASDASD34RDFS]

@@DaglessMc I don't know if I'd call this a "robust and complex" aiming system. Clonky and non-inspiring. If you think about it they've just managed to get FPS mechanics to work in 3rd person. And that's what bothering me as someone with tens of thousands of hours in games such as counter strike.

[@DaglessMc]

@@ASDASD34RDFS ehh, how many top down games have you played where they have differences in elevation. I think alot of the things that make foxhole unique wouldn't be in the game if it wasn't for the "clunky" aiming system. Sure it's not counter strike, but it's also not an FPS. As someone who also has thousands of hours in FPS's and 1500 hrs in Foxhole I can appreciate the differences. Check out some of my operation videos If you want to see someone use this aiming system really well, its something that takes time to get used to . If not, well i hope you come around to foxholes systems and have a good time :).

[@munkymittens]

Course it's clunky. The entire game is a clunky fest. Issues and bugs that have been in the game since day 1 exist and the Devs refuse to fix them

[@IvanTre]

This game would be absolutely amazing if they just made it first person, and the took the industry part from Factorio. Who wants to shoot from a third person ? And tank combat from War Thunder..

[@DaglessMc]

I have to disagree, I think foxhole is unique and it being third person opens up the opportunity for players with skillsets outside of FPS games to shine. Also the game has industry in a similar vein to factorio. If you want to play something similar to Foxhole but FPS i would recommend Hell let Loose or Squad.

[@loafofbread9400]

Hard disagree, just play those games if you want that, leave foxhole alone

[@carloreytansiongco8741]

The isometric shooting mechanic balances out FPS gods, and disincentivise auto-aim hacks. Stress and suppression become easily implementable, easily readabile, and infantry actions require more team work. Just as planned.
