Still looks like something you might find in the Globe and Mail.
Makes sense, considering this is basically the same style political cartoons through our the world. It makes me particularly happy to see it as a foxhole art since my favorite cartoonist in the world has been Quino ever since I was a kid.
I really appreciate the well thought out, constructive post. Thank you.
tank armour, and subsystem disable chances
Please let us use this opportunity, then, to express our dissatisfaction regarding how those mechanics work currently...and "work" should be interpreted loosely.
Given the raw imbalance apparent here, those other factors simply do not come close to making up the difference.
I agree that some of these mechanics need review and my reply wasn't meant as commentary on balance, but more so to ensure that a more complete picture was on the table if opinions are going to be formed around this.
Please note that the stats here from the community wiki are missing DPS (rate of fire), tank armour, and subsystem disable chances.
Was this image taken from devbranch? Is there a bug here we need to investigate? If so could you DM me here or on discord with the repro steps.
Thanks for your questions. A list has been compiled for the stream.
Tips for getting your questions answered on stream
Please keep your question succinct, respectful and don't be antagonistic.
One sentence is best, 2-3 lines at most. We ask the questions in a live environment, so long, complicated questions won't be asked.
The next Foxhole devstream is happening on Friday, May 28th at 2PM EDT. Join us on Twitch for a preview of Update 44. https://www.twitch.tv/foxholegame
We will be doing a Q&A and pulling questions from chat. In addition, we will be considering questions asked in this thread this time around.
Pulling questions from Reddit is an experiment. We may switch back to only answering live chat questions in the future.
External link →Just wanted to chime in here and clarify that at this stage, Anvil isn't a full game project but rather an experimental demo to test out some new technology we are working on.
If you want to know more about Anvil or the R2 Engine, you are welcome to join the Discord https://discord.gg/AcQVVusC. We are running a demo this week so there is still a chance to sign up to help test.

You used to be able to, players who’d logged off or changed map were at the bottom of the player list. Did this change?
This has been added back in Update 43. It was removed unintentionally when the F1 screen was redesigned to work with Regiments.
On the contrary, this change was made based on several bug reports on FOD of LUV being too difficult to kill. There was no other internal motivation for this change. Upon investigation of the bug report, it was discovered that due to an oversight in Update 42, LUVs were given tank level mitigation against small arms (e.g. SMG, Rifle, etc damage is 99% mitigated).
The goal behind the change was to make it as durable as it was before this oversight (and borderline bug) was introduced. The goal was not to nerf it from what it has been for years. Happy to review the health on this one throughout dev branch if we get more feedback on it.
Voice system couldn’t support the influx of players as servers were set to 200 cap from 160ish cap, so local chat between teams had to be removed. Will be this way until they can find a fix. First day of the update the local voice linked into one channel map-wide in dead lands.
This is a limitation of our current voice platform (Vivox). To overcome this limit we either have to wait for Vivox to increase this limit or port our code to a new voice platform. There is another way to possibly work around the hard limit, but it would require a significant rework with our voice logic.
Solid idea! I really like how it works within the existing UI paradigm.
With the pain of server management over these past few weeks.. this is actually how I feel right now. It's not just scaling servers to support more players. Murphy's Law is real.
If discourse on this subject is going to continue, I think it's important to highlight this comment of mine from another thread. One of the points I made on stream wasn't very clear, which led to some confusion. This comment hopefully clears things up a bit.
Read moreHey thanks. Rolling out asymmetrical balance is rough, especially during literal and figurative server fires. We appreciate the transparency, thanks for doing that interview. I like to think we get so passionate and heated with each other because we all genuinely like foxhole, especially because it lets you get invested in that huge team effort that lets us get fired up about it.
No worries. While we do get heated feedback (which as you say comes from the passion/investment), we actually get a lot level headed feedback as well. That feedback usually just doesn't make reddit headlines. The majority of Foxhole players I interact with are very polite and reasonable.
