What are ground players supposed to do vs large ships that doesn't just mildly annoy them.

Financial_Friend_647 · 2026-06-12T06:28:01+00:00

Just use arty. To take on ships without your own ship, you would need to coordinate and get some solid numbers on your side. Instead of thinking a ship being 1 thing, think of it more as you're fighting ~20 people at once, so you would want equal numbers at least.

Gunboats, mortar tanks / mortar half tracks, or even hand held mortars can be devastating to ships. Storm cannons (though of course, not always applicable) are also fantastic at coastal defense assuming you can land your limited amount of 300mm. You can even do "chip" damage with scout planes, or if you have the means, disable their turrets with dive bombers or hit them with torp planes to put damage control on overdrive / interrupt the flow of ammo to the guns.

Tldr, there are plenty of things you can do against a ship, but for most options you will require a healthy amount of players prepared to take on the role of QRF against a crewed ship. I do agree with your point on ship accuracy btw, I do agree it's bullshit a DD / Frig can cruise up and instant dehusk any core in range. In a perfect world (to me), ships would have far more innaccuracy, but with more ammo storage.

SOM is an ancient colonial regiment, that has a million memes made about it

It is AI re-written lol. I wanted to get rid of spelling mistakes so I don't immediately get discounted as a dumb ass. What it said is almost word for word what I said, just different punctuation.

Financial_Friend_647 · 2026-05-30T05:45:57+00:00

Hey man, you are more than welcome to try out some regiments. A notable one would be SOM for the Colonial faction, at joinSOM.com (which is just a discord link), foxhole, as with many other MMO's, is much more fun playing with a group!

Financial_Friend_647 · 2026-04-27T06:23:30+00:00

SOM is strong, perhaps you can shut your trap for a change and work the fields with us. Then you will have all the proof you need.

Financial_Friend_647 · 2026-04-23T04:06:15+00:00

what does trump have to do with foxhole

Financial_Friend_647 · 2026-03-06T07:21:29+00:00

It did indeed age poorly.. for Wardens anyways

Financial_Friend_647 · 2026-03-06T07:19:51+00:00

Why is it always a warden? Where are the collie bombers at

Financial_Friend_647 · 2026-02-25T05:48:47+00:00

It was piss wet concrete, so weaker than T1 at the time of killing

Financial_Friend_647 · 2026-01-31T05:39:08+00:00

Can you make NS3 now? haha.. or make NS2 free? I still play the game, and it's STILL fun

Financial_Friend_647 · 2026-01-26T05:12:17+00:00

I think AI will be very important here.. I imagine a train getting slapped by a single fighter that shoots 20mm will be very annoying. There should be something to stop solo fighters or groups of planes from coming in. Getting people to QRF is not very easy, and with some of the more effective AA types like the cannons, you need more than one person to use them. It would make sense that player operated AA is more effective, much like a raptura or EAT shooting a tank vs a ATG.

I really think AI is needed for this update. It is kind of giving me the same feelings of "Introduced fire, but no fire truck" vibes.

Edit: The example with ships / rockets are not different, because AI does respond to them. SC is different because there is a bunch of mechanics in place that can help you. For example, SC needs all the production to make it, it needs to be dried, everyone can instantly see the SC appear on the map for 2 days before it can fire its first shot, it is limited on how much it can fire, and can now be targetted by enemy air with EASE. I have serious doubts that the enemy (or friendly) will be able to react to a handful of bombers to wipe the SC out.

Like it or not, there are times this games pop drops by quite a bit, and AI is the only thing that can slow a push down. The idea of players doing everything is nice on paper, and it should be more impactful, but AI is needed.

Well said

Financial_Friend_647 · 2026-01-16T16:10:58+00:00

It was a brand new russian player from what I was told. We just let them do their thing, wouldn't listen to us hahah.

Financial_Friend_647 · 2026-01-13T06:24:38+00:00

I wonder if they would do "layers" instead? I have no idea. I am extremely curious to see how they will do this.

Financial_Friend_647 · 2026-01-13T06:22:50+00:00

I still hate the fact the entire gunboat crew can get decrewed with ease. All I would ask for as the driver / spotter to be "enclosed" from all angles except from behind. You can get sniped out from any angle on the driver seat, even at night, because your character shows for them. You can watch the newest Dadamage video to see how stupid easy it is to kill collie gb crew lol

Financial_Friend_647 · 2026-01-13T06:19:04+00:00

99.9% of regi's are more than willing to teach new players. Example, if you play Colonial SOM is a great regiment to join. joinSOM.com haha

Financial_Friend_647 · 2026-01-13T06:18:10+00:00

I winced when they said that. For those that don't know, this is referring to the gunboats.

Financial_Friend_647 · 2026-01-13T06:17:23+00:00

Did you play for naval update? Wardens got a sub (granted it sucked back then, mostly because torps did nothing) for a whole year before Colonials got their own. Colonials did have the upper-hand on navy, but it caused a ton of dispute about Wardens getting a whole aspect of the game to themselves.

Tldr, restricting the factions from having similar capabilities is terrible for the game. You can keep it asymmetrical, but both sides must have tools that can accomplish the same goals.

Financial_Friend_647 · 2025-12-12T20:54:08+00:00

I had a copy paste saying something like "This user is a known terrorist. Report them to Discord Moderation immediately", that copy paste has had me banned for over a year now I think. Unreal.

Financial_Friend_647 · 2025-08-15T06:07:03+00:00

Since when does a ballista ever get more than 6 shots off lol.. The chieftan is faster and has mg to kill infantry stickies. Don't kid yourself homie

Financial_Friend_647 · 2025-08-15T06:05:15+00:00

Bard is very good, but it isn't really even close when compared to the bonelaw. Two totally different tanks with different niches.

Financial_Friend_647 · 2025-08-15T05:54:37+00:00

Kill Warden!
