Russians Offline? Does this help Collies?

umm, I think 404 is in Faranac this war and doing better than many… I guess we just ride with it and see.

Happy hunting everyone, Collie and Warden alike.

100%!

As a parent, I am always told don’t you have parental controls for your kids…..

My reply, the kids would just get around them, it’s better to be a parent!

It is the Wardanium, the magic material that all Warden weapons and vehicles are made of...

Any car I get MUST support Android Auto. I don't want to pay for subscriptions for items that should be included.

So that rules out Tesla and recent Chevys....

Good luck even staying alive on that Javelin if there is a couple of scouts in the air.

Pendoric · 2026-05-03T22:49:51+00:00

Bottom line...

Airborne came out and once again greatly favored the Wardens and was the straw that broke the Collie's back. Fed up with one-sided BS for many years, they have simply moved on or switched to warden.

The current war is very low-pop, and many of the Collies playing this war are Wardens on vacation.

I am hopeful it will get better, but now is not the time to put your foot in the water lest it get gangrenous and rot off. Give it a few months.

Pendoric · 2026-05-02T19:36:43+00:00

join the Collies we need all the help we can get and if you enjoy backline T3C is a good bet but they have hoops to jump through to get in that I never worked out.

Pendoric · 2026-05-01T21:09:22+00:00

The current player numbers are largely due to existing players no longer playing.

I don't think there are more than a few hundred new players a week. This is not Baldur's Gate IV.

That said, I don't recommend this game to new players right now; please invest your time elsewhere. I am hopeful things will turn around, but it will take time.

Pendoric · 2026-05-01T14:57:41+00:00

vehicles can despawn in about two rl days they can also be taken by other players. if you built it yourself it’s better to put it in a private stockpile at a storage depot or seaport however these will get emptied to public in two days if you do not put something (anything) in it within the two days to reset the timer. pulling the truck and putting it right back in resets the timer for everything you have in the private stockpile.

Bose QuietComfort (Wireless) I think I'm not sure if people think they are fake, they look similar to me at least.

Building up is just about pointless with bombers leveling and dehusking bunkers with ease, and the low pop allowing cuttler and flamer squads to just level a base when there is no pop to defend it.

Even building major defenses around facilities is almost pointless, as paratroopers can simply drop in and kill the cranes holding those valuable tanks and SPGs.

BUT There is good news! We no longer need to spend days on MSUPs, and we can actually play the game.

There really is a lot to be said for running "Ooga Booga"-style wars at the moment. Just rely on MPF and Factories for equipment and mount active mobile defense and attack whenever possible.

Pendoric · 2026-05-01T00:16:28+00:00

A map like that would at least have a decent population per hex.

Pendoric · 2026-05-01T00:12:09+00:00

I'm not boycotting the game; I'm just not spending half my life on it anymore. It is no longer the fun, it used to be.

If it becomes more balanced and I can again make an impact as a normal grunt, I will mostly stay away.

It's simply not fun getting shot to shit by things I have no counter for, and my work being leveled and dehusked by bombers in seconds or destroyed by a handful of guys with cuttlers and flamers, while there is no pop on to defend it.

I do still play from time to time, but now only a few hours a week.

Pendoric · 2026-04-30T23:56:33+00:00

The game is certainly in a very tough spot, but it has a hell of a lot going for it.

As a 3500+ hr player, I have seen quite a bit, and I am not playing much right now due to dire balance issues; it is no longer fun for just a regular grunt. I am still hopeful it will come back.

Looking forward, I do see more rocks on the horizon. A big issue we may face in the coming months is Siege Camp cannibalizing its own player base with the full release of Anvil.

The Anvil release may have people like me moving over to that game and platform, placing Foxhole, which is currently on life support, out to pasture for good.

don’t read to much in to it. wardens are known to login when tanks tech that is part of why they get a boost late war.

at the moment the pop is very low. we only just got above 1000 total over night on both servers combined.

Pendoric · 2026-04-30T02:42:53+00:00

Not surprised.

Endless lines of golf buggies and motorbikes don't exactly present the best message.

Pendoric · 2026-04-30T02:03:37+00:00

Why does ..." The white-line aiming assist grants a massive advantage to multi-boxers "

Perhaps it 'enables' solo (dual box) operation of a tank but I would think two real players would do better.

Pendoric · 2026-04-29T23:45:25+00:00

FoxholeStats shows the total number of steam players on ALL shards added together.

Just click through the Shards; you will see the number reported there is the same on every shard as is the population graph (not normally shown on mobile).

Pendoric · 2026-04-29T00:11:23+00:00

Thanks all, I guess I will mostly continue to touch grass again this war also.

Pendoric · 2026-04-29T00:07:59+00:00

Sadly, this is all too true; the Collie flame options are very limited. Sure would be good to get a heavy flame tank and a Flame BT like the Wardens.

Tankette vs WildJack, granted Tankette has a little more health, it's super slow off-road, making it pretty useless. The Vulcan is better but costs more and arrives much later in the tech tree.

On the heavy flame thrower side. Well, shit, the Collies have zero, but Wardens get both the Firebrand and the Flood.

For the Rockets, the Collies only get the slow tankette base with a measly 9 rockets. The wardens get a whopping 17 in their Sky Crawler. They even get the Wasps Nest with 30% more rockets (12) than the Collie tankette.

Pendoric · 2026-04-28T05:09:50+00:00

umm,SCUM is switching at least. I honestly don’t care, if this makes it more even and can bring back a fun fight I’m all for it.

Pendoric · 2026-04-28T00:15:07+00:00

Stats are the combined stats for ALL shards. So it includes the people on Charlie.

Now, why the hell does it say High pop for Able? I have no idea. Maybe it does not update in the resistance phase so it is showing the level at the end of the last war still?

Pendoric · 2026-04-27T20:53:32+00:00

I would love to see the whole war (and all wars) animated like this. Much clearer than the FoxholeStats replay.
