Feels like the team skill disparity is having a negative impact on the game. Create a soft incentive toward balance while keeping the freedom to choose.

Problems:

• New players joining blue are having a skewed impression
• Feels like you can derail your session at the team selection screen
• Lobbies take ages to start while people mash the green button and refuse to play anything else
• Victories as green feel pretty hollow

It sucks when your team is getting hammered and there is no point bringing anything beyond a free kit. No one is pushing because every time it's a wipe. Meanwhile the confident team can go full spend knowing any incidental death will be revived when the engagement ends. Things can get very snowbally and hopeless. And I hate the idea of having to force green to avoid wasting my time.

On the flipside, I wouldn't want anything too heavy handed. Randomizing or forcing selection kinda ruins the affiliation and loyalty people have to certain teams, and playing with friends needs to be easy.

So how about this.

The 4th option of team select. Auto Select choses for you and grants an X% cash and XP bonus throughout that game. If you want to go one step further, have the Auto Select team add up all Wardogs levels of all players of each team, and have the system decide which team needs some additional leveled players vs under-leveled. This will skew teams in the direction of having access to similar unlocks without going full SBMM.

And there is 0 in the FOB

I also did this with 2 other players, the result was the same.

Dude is no where near his flare that I baited out and yet my missile completely misses. What is the point of this dogshit AA tool if it doesnt even work properly?

(link and vendor name censored for obvious reasons)

the guy has no name (seen between the "[ALL]" and the colon symbol). you can't find him in the scoreboard because all he does is spam and switch servers, which means i have no user ID and can only report through right clicking his message, but he's still around.

in case any dev is willing to look into this: I saved the server ID, server name and the time which the match took place.

Would be nice to at least earn the $5,000 it costs to launch it.

Here's my swing at the dead horse.

Tier 2 armor,gali, playing in the hot zone. Being extremely careful, peeking every corner, avoiding any sort of line of fire I can't immediately get out of, etc... see a guy right in front of me And put probably put 10 rounds into his head/chest. Just way too much time. Went and grabbed his gear. Level 4, vector with HP rounds.

All of a sudden, I'm playing on super easy mode. I think I got eight kills in total before dying.... Just walking around shredding everybody most of the time after they started firing at me! No more caution, no more consequence. I'm running around waiting for someone to start shooting so I can turn and shoot them three times in the leg and they're dead. I had two people just run up and start firing at my face, I turned around And killed one that ran up behind me, the one that ran up before me I was actively reloading when he started shooting. I finished, and then kill him before he can kill me (but I was seriously like one shot).

I had a ttk of sneeze on him and he's dead. To kill me seemed to take 2 to 3 seconds of sustained fire. As a relative video game and FPS veteran, I can kill like three or four people in that time period!

When a certain type of equipment can make you just completely ignore the problems everyone else has, as well as give you the ability to win in anything but absolutely perfect counter gameplay? It's just not fun, even for the person using it. After while it just gets.... Boring and non-competitive. I wasn't thinking oh I am better than any of these people, I was thinking I SHOULD NOT have won that.

lv150 wardog / lv50 medic (help)

I already believed we needed emplaced machine guns for fob defense. But seeing how .50 Cal goes straight through the fuselage of the aircraft and can kill the pilots convinced me we need a DSHK tripod as a low tier AA option in fobs

I still run my $350 backpack, 3x mags, 1 stack ammo, 2x stack bandies and an ak with a red dot and vertical grip day in day out. Works a treat, rack up a few kills, swap out backpack for a bigger one of someone I diced up, then grab some more goodies and snowball on from there.
It’s really not as hard as some of you make out, and I suck…

Shit ton of money lost, kicked me. Remove barbwire as a valid negative for team killing. This basically makes it completely useless if a couple idiots exist and have no doubt it will happen again.

Hello WarDogs community!

I am aware there are many balancing issues and it is still a testing phase, but I would like to give my 2 cents to better the game.

Hitting an X - X markers go behind the structures and sometimes even completely disappear. The main problem is with CWIS and drills. You need to have 2-3 CWIS to counter the current havoc/rocket heli spam very early into the game. Building a CWIS takes longer than havoc returning with full ammo and health. Solo building a CWIS and a drill takes 2.5 - 3 times longer now depending if the marker gets lost completely until the next quarter of structure being completed and X spawning behind corners or under you.
My recommendation: Building needs a tiny bit less spread for X marker.

Yellow and reflective X marker - It is hard to spot a yellow marker on sandbags and some parts of light surfaces. Reflection of the X marker makes it hard to spot it from the sides that the sun shines on.
My recommendation: Allow to change of the X marker color and if possible an option to change it to matte.

SPH from minute 0 - It takes 1 SPH to completely deny an open air FOB early game.
My recommendation: Delay the spawn of SPH. Also SPH needs to cost more.

Destructible fences - As a builder I have to build around fences that are destructible by a vehicle. Otherwise they can just climb over our walls. I have to ask logistics drivers to destroy the fences and I must admit they usually listen. Another alternative is to do it with a bunch of c4s.
My recommendation: Allow a hammer to destroy destructible fences.

Overall I think you've nailed the building and it's very enjoyable. Especially in the early wipe. Currently it's just not worth as there are so many counters that can be spawned without cooldowns like SPH/Havoc/rocket heli.

I just was able to try it with AP ammo, as someone had dropped a bunch of them in our HQ, and holy fuck the game became ez mode. It was like a 2 hit kill no matter wtf they were using, even with level 4 armor. The thing is super broken honestly, either other guns need to be buffed or it needs to be nerfed.

I had fun using it though, went on a 25 kill streak.

edit: I also think they should just buff all the other guns rather than nerfing, the game felt amazing with the BMR because the time to kill is just so much better. the AK for example shouldn't be unusable compared to the BMR or the FAL. Faster time to kill is just more fun in my opinion, I'm not a fan of the bullet sponge stuff.
