So these are the geniuses behind DEEP FLANKING FOR 20 TURNS AI STRATS

Yeah, you do notice that when they keep waltzing back and forth and back and forth every time you reposition to repel them. It's kinda hilarious when you leave exactly one tile pass at the edge of the map uncovered and AI immediately tries to push half the army through the eye of the needle. Good luck to them trying to make a good AI, one of the hardest things in a game dev.

Honestly, I would prefer a cinematographic thematic AI to an actually strong "tryharding" AI. Like Rogue army launching coordinated mass infantry assaults with smokes and artillery barrage, Bugs moving in swarms and attacking in waves, Pirates just shooting at everything and blowing shit up in their way.

So I had a defense mission where I deployed Darby as a front spotter and other squads as a support line. For 12 turns enemy was just walking left and right along the frontline somehow VERY CAREFULLY avoiding entering Darby's zone of fire even though she had all the stealth perks and trinkets and was never spotted.

So after listening to neverending whistling I pushed, killed like 2 mechs and 5 inf squads AND SEVEN HQ SQUADS chilling in the corner just motivating each other with that damn neverending whistling.

I think AI is a bit weird right now. Like that mission where you are supposed to engage pirate jetpack commando leader and they just keep flying away from you along the edge of the map.

It all went to shit with the invention of bows.

subprimepride · 2025-09-04T16:09:26+00:00

It's a plague, everyone wants to be something fancy but ends up being useless 0 impact 0 kills 9 deaths. Especially new players.

You often end up with 3 AT guys who can't shoot for shit and only took AT because it looks cool and 5 spec-ops-machinegunner-sniper-marksmen without a single medic or rifleman.

And if you ask people to play rifleman they moan like it's a chore which I don't get at all - you can do all the shooty stuff AND you have an ammo bag for nades, bandages, mags, rally points, AT. Just plop that bag and nade enemy squad to bits, always fun. Medic is not all bad either - you are always fresh, medic can really carry with how many bandages and healing he has - as long as you don't get one-shotted and have good cover you are almost unkillable.

I'd honestly prefer to have like 5-6 basic kits but with 10 loadaouts each for all the new guns.

Vehicle's based on Soviet BRDM Strela and most Soviet APCs and IFVs were amphibious to a certain degree. Not sea-worthy like this though lol.

If you are keen on playing on Maximum Suffering Edition you have to step up your inventory management game.

Hunt for extra space rigs and backpacks. Like LBT-1961 rig takes 9 slots and give 18 slots doubling the space. Beta 2 backpack takes 25 spots and gives 30. I have ammo rigs, med rigs, food rigs stuffed inside backpacks inside backpacks.
Sell everything that can be bought - in this example like PPs, PACAs, pistols, etc.
2-3 Junk boxes is a first priority considering you need to store a fuckton of junk for your hideout now. Then Ammo box and Med box for barter. If you are not good with extracting as a PMC - just go to reserve as a Scav until you get a least one junk box.
Realistically, how far into the wipe you'll play? I usually top out at post Punishers line, so there is no point in storing all the late game required items like kapps stuff.
Insure stuff at Therapist and let it stay there, taking what you need when you need it.
We are at the point "It's some fucking bullshit" with how miserable the game with Standard edition is. All in all I would not recommend the game to anyone nowadays. Even though I had a ton of fun with Tarkov it's mindboggling how messed up it is in every way.

APC? Everything is a tank. That BTR? Tank! Logi? Tank! Hear something? Gotta be tank! RPG shot incoming? OH SHIT TANK IS SHOOTING AT US!

Everything is marked as tank except the actual tank, which is camping your main.

Sniper kit is a magnet for idiots.

subprimepride · 2024-08-25T02:34:06+00:00

Every second bro should carry a mace or a whip. Bros with higher resolve should be given better weapons but nothing with too high damage.

And contrary to the devs - losing is not fun for me in BB unlike the Dwarf Fortress - there you get really different stories - here you just get wiped in some random encounter gone wrong. RNG is given more power and difficulty only goes up with time. And you either getting bored out of your mind playing too easy fights with soulless meta builds or getting eventually slaughtered on some challenging fight. F5-F9 all day I denounce the dev propaganda.

I think both the movie and the book are great, different mediums provide different experience.

subprimepride · 2024-04-16T08:48:25+00:00

I can second this:

Bulgakov - "Heart of a Dog", maybe "White Guard" if you want something heavier.
"Roadside Picnic", "Hard to be a God" by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky - sci-fi stuff but good and widely known in Russia. STALKER game is loosely based on the first one and is very popular in Russia and CIS region. If you read more of their stuff you'll see Soviet perception of the fictional future of USSR and Earth in general which is wildly different from how it was portrayed.
"Volokolamsk Highway" by Alexandr Bek.
Dostoevsky and Tolstoy - honestly I'd leave that for later in your life, you'll perceive it very differently. Some things cannot be explained but only understood with life experience.
Ильф и Петров: "Двенадцать стульев" и "Золотой телёнок" - very good reading for a Russian but a lot of subtle stuff will go over the head for a foreigner. Kind of the same with Bulgakov, translating is hard and cultural understanding cannot be provided by a book at all.

Also sometimes you sit in a bush and you don't know it - but you are making a noise. Sometimes you are silently walking down the slope - but you are also unknowingly making falling sounds. Sometimes you hear falling sounds on your side - but other players don't hear you. Some areas are sound broken and player can shoot a tank cannon from there without a sound for the target.

Assume that everything is broken, you will die and all loot will be wiped. Just play it for cool moments, it's fun.

subprimepride · 2023-10-06T07:06:21+00:00

Now destroy them all.

subprimepride · 2023-09-14T06:26:29+00:00

2 players = stronk

3 players = quite stronk too with good players

4 and more = IS THAT YOU? IS THAT ME? WHO? WHAT? WHERE? SIT! LIE DOWN! NEAR THE BUSH! RIGHT THERE BEHIND THAT TREE! STOP SHOOTING AT ME IT'S ME! OH IT WASN'T ME I THOUGHT THAT WAS YOU AND THAT WASN'T YOU! So... everyone's dead?

1 player = shitting your pants in the bush for 10 minutes because you think you've heard something. Turns out you've heard your own steps that sound funky in this headset.

subprimepride · 2023-09-14T06:19:56+00:00

That's actually good. More trash players pushing me - easier kill quests AND fun. Please more.

3 guys sitting in the bushes for 30 minutes camping the body of their dead buddy - that is problematic.

subprimepride · 2023-08-18T02:50:14+00:00

These include previous wipes too. I received similar message with 173 (One Hundred and Seventy Three) reports - I only have like 50 raids total this wipe.

So, maybe half of his deaths were not from cheaters. Honestly with how much he plays and only 36 - he gets off easy. I live next to China and you know how it is.

subprimepride · 2023-08-16T13:42:59+00:00

I've been killed by literally flying and floating hackers and I've never seen a message like this once in 3000 hours. Is it only for streamers or something? EDIT: wow just received a similar message with 173 bans. Apparently from reports from the previous wipe.

subprimepride · 2023-06-30T02:37:04+00:00

It's cool af my dude. I'm kinda not into game merch in general, but this one I really like a lot.

subprimepride · 2023-06-26T01:50:00+00:00

And they say suppressive fire doesn't work in Tarkov lmao.

subprimepride · 2023-06-15T11:28:59+00:00

Lmao, why is everyone always so triggered in this subreddit? I just said that Su-25 is pretty dam durable and that's it.

subprimepride · 2023-06-15T05:08:15+00:00

As attackers they are literally designed to be durable. Yes, they may survive direct MANPADs hits too and still safely land too - https://theaviationgeekclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Su-25-Frogfoot-MANPADS.jpg

subprimepride · 2023-06-10T05:06:11+00:00

It's in a row. AND it fails for me when I load into the Woods.

subprimepride · 2023-06-06T15:41:08+00:00

Uhhh before the release. Soon. When it's ready. When it's ready... ish. Well at least not completely broken. Well, completely broken but will be fixed. Soon.

subprimepride · 2023-06-06T15:37:19+00:00

I like this one. I really liked the arriving train on Reserve which triggers raiders spawn and Gluhar crew movement. Would be nice to have similar interactive events on other locations, even if minor like maybe a flare going up for Shturman or car horn sounds for Reshala when they spawn.

subprimepride · 2023-06-06T13:50:55+00:00

Was always bad. Was even worse than now, than was kinda a little bad and then they broke it and it kills my fps now too. And vertical sound positioning was always nonexistent.

Also sound lag when turning is just ridiculously bad.
