Yep, but it burns at a much faster rate too

Glad you came by to check it out. Good luck on the front!

I agree and disagree with this. Yeah, I wish you could equip a spotter map or something with measurement and more info. In the same way this would be considered “bad” to use 3rd party. You could say the same for any game with a difficult level or boss and you have to pull up TH-cam for a guide. It’s all just another tool to make the job easier, you can operate by eye, I just don’t like using extra shells to find my position

Absolutely, that’s a learned skill for sure. And after doing enough arty, you definitely pick up on how to do that

I can agree with all of this. It’s amazing how fast the front can move. Can’t tell you how many times we’ve shelled a ally or had infantry push up on our position

@kodstergames you know what? I went to recon. Frontline was good. Set up arti pits. BoB. Other guys arrive. They shoot right into Howitzer trap. Everything dead, one shot. Sad.

That I didn’t know, my nights are always SO dark 😂

That’s definitely an advanced way of doing things. Maybe I’ll make a second video for that, choosing targets and some other things. I 100% agree with you though, that’s something I’ve learned while using the 3rd party website, it just took a while to start seeing how the arty worked when I first started

I taught my arty regiment how to spot like that and it allows for more flexibility from the spotters, plus a sense of pride that they're nailing it all on their own

Yeah, I can agree with the speed factor. There’s been a few times I’ve cut guys short of building the bunker storage just so we can start firing Usually we roll up with 4 guys on avg and getting an emplacement down for the health boost is huge. We love setting up right behind the front line so, our set up is usually pretty hot. Thanks for checking it out and for the support ⚔️

​@@kodstergames great video, some more information that might be useful: 1) it was unintuitive to me that the wind is the same for the whole hex! if you can glimpse a flag in one corner of the hex it will tell you the conditions for everywhere in that region 2) if youre going to take the time to dig a shell room you should probably T2 the octagon and connector as well 3) if youre short on manpower but have guns and shells, usually one loader can load 2 guns in a pinch if the guns are very close to the shell pallet 4) you can submit shell crates into the ammo room. so you can drive trucks with 15 crates up, fill your pockets with 8 crates, and dump shells 40 at a time into the shelf. its situational but a handy trick when the circumstances allow it

The crate trick is interesting. Is there a way to go from pallets of shells to crates? I produce all of my shells through the large shell factory instead of the regular factories which I know produce crates anyways. All those other tips are great also, I highly recommend people read this comment

@@kodstergames theoretically there is a way with a small cart but you have to be really close and its not practical for your use case of an ad hoc frontline arty pit. you can produce reservable crates from a private queue in a shell fac btw

Thanks for coming to check it out! I certainly appreciate it. The video actually is wayyyyy longer than I originally planned, but I feel like it was all stuff I wish I knew when I started, so it all stayed in 😂

This story is probably the only one I can put on YT and they’ve already flagged it 😂 The man is a national treasure

These are wonderful questions and I wish I had better answers to them. I know rockets are much much shorter range, so you can get accurate targets from the car itself. On the arty calculator website you can use it for all artillery, including the storm cannons. I haven’t had the pleasure of using one of those yet but I can’t imagine it being much different to the 120&150 guns. Thanks for stopping by, and thanks for teaching new players when you can 😂 I know that’s a time consuming process that I go through with tons of new players

Rockets are effected in the same way as shell-based artillery, the rockets get pushed in the direction of the wind - but the effect can seem greater because rocket artillery have a bigger dispersion at long range compared to 120mm and 150mm

I was under the impression that rockets were 30-60m, I’ll have to go check that out. I didn’t think they had that kinda range to them. Thanks for the response on that

@@kodstergames the maximum range on the hades net is 435m

Oh I’ve got to get my hands on that thing then 😂

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for stopping by

As someone that loves math and numbers, I wouldn’t even dare to try to aim arty within the game. Binoculars can’t see far enough so you’d have to do 2 measurements and still somehow get the azimuth right. Now that I’ve done arty a good bit, I think I could get a general area and then dial in without the maps. It’d waste a few extra shells but I think I could get it done

Oh that drives me insane when I hear people say it lol thanks for coming to check it out!

Thank you for reminding me 😂 I finished this video after a 15 hour shift and 100% meant to add that to my description. Obviously it slipped through, but it’s in there now!

Did you link the right one?? I clicked on it and my phone went haywire the screen looked like it was cracked and no picture on the screen. I just wanted to look at the site but now idk if I wanna try it with my computer ​@@kodstergames

Yes, its correct. It will not open at all on your phone. fharty.craftingthrulife.com/

Warden express is the best option if you have access to it

Haven’t used that one, I’ll have to check it out

I have no idea what that is but it sounds like a blast lol thanks for coming to check this one out

I feel that. My regi spent a couple days building the facilities for heavy tanks and gathering mats. Just for our tank to get rushed by nemises the second we hit the front

I appreciate the support! Hope you enjoy the game!

Can’t wait to see you on the front. Medics are amazing, and partisans are the bane of my existence but im sure both are a blast to play!! Able is actually PACKED with colonials and content creators playing for the collies. I just think the Wardens are more vocal about the differences in the factions

Glad you took something away from the video 😂 Sounds like you got it down pay. With those skills, I can just hope that you play for the colonials

This is huge for the vehicles. I experimented with most weapons through scavenging throughout my time on the front

This also includes when scavenging weapon from deadbox... use it until out of ammo then reload *maybe there is an exception for the high fire rate gun like SMG

100% after I made this video I wish I had mentioned that. Every time you reload, you drop all previous ammo

Yes, anything given to them made of animal or plant, they hate it. I usually just use wood however I want, and trade for as much as possible with every caravan. Thanks for stopping by to watch this!

@@kodstergames very welcome dude! You have great DF content

Thanks for coming by !

I appreciate you stopping by. Always good for some refreshers haha

Can’t say that enough

Thanks a lot! Thanks for stopping by

I really appreciate the support!

You’re doing something right then. Keep It up soldier 🫡

@@kodstergames partially ironic, I just have good luck probably, im amazed though how bad peoples aim is given the game is point and click.

I appreciate the support! Thanks for coming to check out the video

I’m glad this video could help. I really appreciate the comment 🫡

@@kodstergames Yeah, I'm finally getting my first win in domination mode. Taxing, influence, and income make you survive.

It’s definitely a good bit of time. Now that I’ve done more and more of these style videos, I’ve been able to be more efficient with the process! Knowing when to hit the record button and only recording important moments, getting better with editing, and starting with scripts has cut down the editing process a bunch for me

These are great tips for new players to read! Thanks for the support and coming to check out this video!

@kodstergames as a long time vet who teaches new players how to be actaully good at the game, you did me a favor. Also that one tryhard clanman who called you out was ours🤣. Sorry about that but vets can be very toxic when things get heated and we're about to make breakthrough. Even a slightest hesitation can waste a good oppurtunity and may even push us back.

Watch map posts. Most players will report where the partisans are. The closer to the front you get, the more dangerous it becomes. Try to drive down routes that have bunker bases and large, defended cities as much as possible. If you see a sector that is surrounded, you can bet the logi to that sector is being cut off

Thanks

My biggest tip for fps is limiting your population and animals. I manage herds and pets as best as possible and usually have my pop cap set to 200-250. I have a i9-4090 and when my fortresses get attacked by fire beasts, it still stutters hard lol

I appreciate the support ! Thanks

I really wish. I’m a big numbers guy and I’d love to keep up with that. At least we get to see the few stats we do, like damage totals and value totals

Great tips here

No idea, I did a lot of speech therapy as a kid. Moved all over the nation so, I have a mix of a couple accents I’m sure 😂

This is great 😂

In that exact war in the video :))

I appreciate the effort 🫡 Keeping the frontline up is tough work
