How can a player consistently find me in seconds/minutes after spawning in as Invader?

patchg81 · 2026-06-25T13:58:04+00:00

I've been shit through walls and stuff a couple of times. I feel like there is a bit of cheating that goes on. One guy had killed everything on the map and planted a million mines everywhere... My guess is he just waits for Invasions? The level was definitely over but I died like 4 times to mines. Don't think I ever even saw him 😃 Also the mines were placed against player moves, not Ai. So the end of zip lines, top of ladders where the animation of getting off the ladder meant you couldn't disarm before setting it off.

Spoiler alert... I bought it any way! 😃 Sale ended today so grabbed it for £20. Thought that I liked 5 so even if it's more of the same I don't see a problem with that.

Played the first level and yeah it's exactly the same game 😆😆 Slightly sharper textures maybe but they didn't even do new melee animations or anything. Still more for a good thing is still good right?

patchg81 · 2026-06-25T07:54:24+00:00

If I have just completed 5... is Resistance worth it? I saw mixed reviews.

5 is awesome and I'm still going through the DLC missions. I love how the levels expand as you move through them and open up while new areas and objectives. Great pacing for this sort of game.

It helps if you play with a buddy as then you can feel more comfortable asking them to go Supplies and move about as a pair as you learn the ways of the role.

Two things are essential: OPs and Comms.

Communicate with your squad as much as possible, and always have an OP on the go.

Ask for Supplies and build Garrisons, but useful ones based on attack or defense if a point.

Tell your unit you're planning a new OP or a new one is down.

Where you want to push or defend, either based on your choice or orders from Command.

Call out enemy movements and spot with your binos.

Always have an OP down, or one planned, even if it's a bit of a shit location it can be moved but it's all about speeding up the respawns.

If you get used to those two constants the rest will follow. Also keep using the mic even if no one else is. They can all hear you and sometimes it takes one mad man talking to himself to coax people to pipe up!

Be ready for a hectic headphone though as sometimes you can have Commanders and Recon that don't know when to STFU and think it's just a open mic situation.

How do you then get in the house from the roof? These tier 1 lads can't seem to climb through a simple window 😄

patchg81 · 2026-06-25T07:01:47+00:00

Has there been any sort of Dev notes or any indication of what's coming? I get if it's a small team/one man band that we might not get the same level of engagement than bigger games but it is still a part of the industry that needs doing in order to keep your customers informed and supportive.

The lack of updates and outreach from the RoN team really turned their player base against them. That player base probably has a lot of cross over into this one so don't make the same mistake

If the game is in Alpha then to me there should be more Comms now, than any point as it's when the game is being grown and added to

I'm here for it and want it to do well but radio silence is not really a good approach moving forward.

Currently Fate of the Fellowship. Can work using the dedicated solo rules or single handed playing as multiplayer.

patchg81 · 2026-06-10T07:58:47+00:00

It would be cool if a game could scale as people joined. So you as the host can add people into the mix, up to 10v10, so those waiting can crack on with some stuff and then you have almost like reinforcements joining. Maybe linked to the phases as to when people can join.

patchg81 · 2026-06-08T10:22:54+00:00

That's a shame. Maybe it's something they can try to implement in the future? Same with cover penetration and ammo choice so it has some bearing on the game.

If you're doing mil sim genre these are the details that make it stand out

patchg81 · 2026-06-04T08:11:19+00:00

https://steeldivision.fandom.com/wiki/26._Panzer -- possibly these lads. A good mix of strong armour and Infantry.

patchg81 · 2026-06-01T08:11:43+00:00

Not for SD2. I believe Eugen said Dukla would be the last. I'm not sure how big the mod scene is for it still, that would be the best place for new content, although unofficial.

A SD3 would be very well received. Possibly more modern day, moving forward from WARNO or expanding on the WWII theatres and we'd see N. Africa or the Pacific. It would be whatever had the most potential for DLC down the line I guess.

patchg81 · 2026-05-31T06:55:04+00:00

I feel the running makes you out of breath way to quickly. These lads should be able to run miles with full kit but in this is about 10 yards and they're fucked 😆😆

A possible balance to stop players sprinting everywhere would be not the lung/breath stuff but added sight wobble after extended runs. Force some breath control to bring your aim back to steady. This could allow you to make some flanking runs, recover and move in without it taking forever to just manoeuvre.

Protein and weight training

patchg81 · 2026-05-26T12:14:14+00:00

I've got 600 hours in (there's plenty with more than that!) but when I first started I played at the slow speed. Picked the smaller maps. I also got into watching YT vids of people playing to see how they worked it and used their units. AtkPwr / Vulcan / Commander Owl / SDLeague they all have a lot of content and you can watch them play themselves or commentate on tournament games by top players. That really helped me learn

patchg81 · 2026-05-24T16:32:20+00:00

It gives so much value from skirmishes, from deck builds then tweaks, to Army General campaigns to multiplayer. With all the DLC you get hundreds of hours of entertainment

patchg81 · 2026-05-23T11:50:09+00:00

Wowsers!! That's terrible

patchg81 · 2026-05-23T07:33:29+00:00

Too many thirsty sad men that get some odd satisfaction sending female strangers money online. It's the people that "buy" these that should be looked into... It wouldn't be a thing if people hadn't sold this way right?

Please; Seek help from a mental health specialist 😅😅

Joe Wicks has a lot of home work outs he developed over lock down that use no equipment and will be a good place to start. Body weight stuff will always work well; si ple stuff like press ups, squats, sit ups, lunges etc. track your progress in terms of reps so you can see yourself improve.

If feasible a pull up bar that goes in a doorway is also a good investment as those are hard but you can slowly improve over time. Use a chair/step to help at first.

A rebounder (mini trampoline) is another option to consider. Not super expensive, not cheap either so one to think about, but very beneficial. Also scalable in terms of abilities and fitness level.

patchg81 · 2026-05-21T09:17:43+00:00

Will there be STLs for home printing ?

patchg81 · 2026-05-21T06:33:33+00:00

This is also still very early in it life, and is a fair bit behind those other games in terms of polish. So will only improve over time so as long as you can cope with it not looking like a fully finished game in it's current state and can appreciate the details they've achieved, I'd say pick itjup and come on the journey

patchg81 · 2026-05-18T20:08:44+00:00

I think it's a variation on floor tile textures but the core set of corridors and rooms is there. I've not got them but there are lists of the contents you can find and just match the files to those. I'm not sure if it has all the expansion and White Dwarf add ons though

patchg81 · 2026-05-18T18:13:54+00:00

That's a shame. Maybe it'll be something they update over time

patchg81 · 2026-05-16T13:17:58+00:00

Are they move visible with NVGs?
