You forgot the arguably best role in the game the buss drivers who give infentry players a ride from the spawn point to the front if the nearest spawn point is far away
Agreed! It’s always the worst when you want to try a new role in a game but can’t get the chance as PUGs want it ran by the higher ranked person with everything unlocked
Same. I tell new players all the time to grab their kits from the dead if its a busy battlefield. I wish it counted towards your Logi stats because I've easily retrieved multiple truckloads of guns, gear, and ammo from the cluttered trenches each war. If you really pay close attention to the front you're on, you can figure out what items are running out the fastest and focus on retrieving those. Often, bandages and plasma are the first to go (for some reason most medics dont run back to their body that got hit by arty and dropped 12 bandages and 10 plasma)
@@SoNorthitzSouth Actually I think storing items you found in a BB does count under your supplies delivered, I managed over 5k pts in that category without once doing a logistics run.
I think the one role I've really adapted to is: Tank Hunter. I's a combination of Anti Tank Rifleman and Partisan. You use scout uniforms, sticky grenades, and binos to scout enemy tank lines and avoid being detected. The key part of being a Tank Hunter is teamwork; you need to use a squad with a patient leader to pick out the right target at the right time. As the tech tree progresses and vehicles gain more HP being able to make tactical calls on what to attack is a crucial skill you develop. It might be tempting to throw 10-12 sticky grenades at a battle tank and kill it, but sometimes its better to eliminate 2 to 3 support vehicles like tank destroyers so friendly armor can take out the BT afterwards. Other times it might better to spend all the stickies to disable enemy tracks so they're all vulnerable to being hit by artillery; battlefield awareness is important. It's a very refined role, and if you're ever on the front and you see [WLL] Legendary yell "IM MAKING AN ANTI TANK SQUAD", feel free to join and I'll teach you all the ropes. o7
Played Foxhole this morning before I had to head to work. Did something like tank hunter, except we just sat around in the quiet and waited for the tanks to get too close so we all can get 2-3 shots off before they retreated
I mostly play as what I feel like playing. If the relic has a mortar,bino’s and shells,you bet I’ll grab a fiddler and die without killing any collies.
As a new player I can say, the hardest thing is chosing what I want to do for the day. the lack of Roles can be very difficult for a new player, but it has its perks. Mainly being able to switch roles in matter of second.
Honestly a lot of player struggle with that. And yes I agree being able to switch what I'm doing at any time is great! Which is one of the reasons I love Foxhole :D Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this!
Read up on everything, regardless of what you pick. Being able to jump to what's needed is hyper important and under utilized. Especially if you have any command presence or capabilities, you can do so much and change a Frontline
For the front line roles, I’ve seen plenty of dedicated frontline diggers, looters, and “battle busers” who drive trucks to carry troops and supplies to the frontline when the battle bunker is far away from the frontline.
1) go to a front 2) use your mic (tap or hold T) and ask what to do 3) do that, and keep doing that as other tasks pop up I've been playing for a week, day 1 and 2 was infantry until I was asked and showed how to do Logi runs. To be blunt I wouldn't specialize in a type of infantry until you understand the game a bit better, which may only take 3 days.
One role for infantry that everyone has forgotten about is that of the 'looter' Where you simply walk around the battlefield, unequipped, scavenging for equipment from the dead and bringing it back to base, so it doesn't go to the waist or into enemy hands.
A role I find myself falling into quite often is “mine sweeper”. It’s when you drive your tank over mines to clear the path for your friends! I definitely do it on purpose!
My role is unlock the vehicle and parking or saving the vehicle to seaport or storage depo. So the road can be clear to help logi run faster, and save the vehicle from partisan or damage
After buying a new PC, choosing a role in Foxhole is a thing that still scares me before buying and makes me anxious. I can only hope that I will catch a wave.
You can do whatever, today I gathered a lot of scrap, made a lot of Bmat, helped a train to refine like a lot of scraps, saw a message on map to logi that a frontline needs some things, I made them,delivered them, played a bit of infantry than one flank was without medics, I filled till' some medics showed up, we pushed them back so I got to repairs and building. IMO the best way to play is that you do what your team needs. Often when the enemy shoots that one single hammer clapping away can be the difference between a failed build or a completed one.
One of my big roles on the frontline is armor support. Nab an abandoned logi truck and run tanks ammo and bmats to keep them alive and fighting, saving them rearming time. The logi truck can be used in a pivot role to loot tank ammo as friendly armor pushes, help build watchtowers, suicide into an enemy tank rush to buy time for your own armor to retreat, and sometimes even as a battle bus. It's most useful for 30mm half tracks, which can't hold very much ammo and so need constant resupply when actively fighting. I also had a lot of fun helping mortar houses in a similar way, in war 115 I manufactured bmats+emats in the Foundry, shipped them to Abandoned Ward, and manufactured supplies and mortar shells on the spot to deliver to the hungry mortar houses as the city was under siege. Definitely worth a try if you find yourself defending a city you have a logistical foothold in (or in your case, one with some public emat+bmat; with the emat changes people like to leave emat resource containers around frontline factories).
One niche role I do that no one likes to do (including me) but should be done? Bringing ironships full of empty shipping containers and/or equipment that's unecessary to a specific front. Good example, is during the siege of Ogmaran. I would do my normal naval supply runs down from tine only after bringing a few of the ships back from ogmaran. These ships usually had either sulfur or random emats/sledge hammers/dunne crates in them. All that being said, devs need to make ironships either salvageable or repackageable. We had like 400 sitting in og's port while we had virtually none in Tine for supply runs. I understand why, bringing back individual ironships is tedious, boring, and unappreciated. Devman please god fix this, there are so many easy fixes that would make logiman hate life way less.
The mentorship in the game is awesome. I jumped onto my first game and three different players taught me: How to crew a tank, drive and operate a crane and how artillery works. It was an absolute blast!
Whenever i played Foxhole i usually played the role of grabbing resources and when i am at the frontline i sometimes play as basic infantry and sometimes as a scavenger/loot goblin grabbing anything i can get my filthy little fingers on and scurry the supplies back to a nearby base
Thank you for these videos! I’ve had Foxhole since early access (back when it was just one region) and I tried to get back into it a few months back after watching videos for years and years in the wars. Watching your videos helped contextualize a lot of the moving parts and I’ve been playing my first actual war these past two weeks! I love it!
If your new, id recommend starting with infantary. If you want to start branching out, logistics or navy are a good inbetween, and for more high skill* id recommend tanks, and arty spotting. If you want to know what helps the most: arty arty arty, if theres someone looking for arty crew, its honestly pretty boring, but its incredibly useful. After this its logi.
@@Hobo_Callum I was a tanker by day 3 ish, there's a good chance someone will pop up on the front asking for a gunner (generally considered the lowest role, least risk of you causing the loss of the tank). It's pretty straightforward honestly, just listen to whoever is the designated commander (often the driver), then you just learn as you go, that's about it really.
I've had Foxhole for a week now. Im already Level 7 and a SGT. I've been a builder, medic, tank driver and gunner, and a single man mortar team with bino's with a mix if Fragmentation and Flare rounds. Give everything a try and always feel free to ask for help in figuring stuff out. Ran into a WO1 that never was a Medic before and didn't know he needed plasma to charge the medical kits to revive people 😂
Oh I "forgot" a lot of roles like I mentioned. This would be an extremely long video if I talked about almost every role or what you can do in this game :D
Yea but I'd say no one really does this regularly. Everyone kind of collectively grabs the firetruck if the TH or something catches fire. Imo and for me personally I wouldnt categorizes this as role cause it isnt something you can constantly do unless of course they bring 10+ pallets of fire rockets 👀
One not mentioned I've found I like is scrap crane operator. Filling containers of scrap for others to take away quickly and easily from scrap fields with youtube to the side is comfy.
about the mentor role - make sure you have the person you're mentoring do a job shadow thing with you. I was doing some logistics during this war at one point and ended up having a player shadow me, ended up showing them the whole production line. from scrap to factory to front line.
Wish they had some instruments for the front line band. Imagine repelling a nade rush with some lovely music backing you up or having bugle to single for an attack or retreat.
Your videos are great, I'm trying to get more into the game recently, not sure what I want to do or where to find people to play with who will hold my hand but this helps, thank you : )
Thank you! And I have a sort of Foxhole University in my discord where we help people learn the game and help them find groups to play with! Feel free to join if you need some help! discord.gg/NGXdVsdUUB
7:07 Thank you Robert, and good luck to you in this endeavor. They're not easy to organize, but they're very rewarding personally. The payoff is a community that will continue to grow.
In my regiment we often have a dedicated role for infantry that we designate "demolition Squads". Their job is always to clear the path for infantry and tanks by blowing up Pillboxes and other defences using tripods or rpgs. Their pretty fun and impactful as tanks often forget how imporant it is to not only take out AT wepons but also the stuff holding the infantry back.
I personally found I really loved playing medic. Most other games I typically play more defensively or aggressively, turrets, tanks, heavy armor, heavy weapons, but here I found I super loved the field medic loop. I still enjoyed using heavy armor and weapons and the vehicles are a blast, and hell I even enjoy working logistics, I've yet to find a role that I disliked because of how well done the mechanics are and just continue to get better with each update. But field medic was just a ton of fun and even let me roleplay some which was hilarious, and I'm excited to try out the new medic loop with the infantry update
In the frontline i'm a scavenger, my whole shtick is to grab stuff from fallen soldiers and return them to the base, additionally it comes with grabbing the first weapon you find to help the frontlines and carrying downed team mates back to medics. (If you think scavenger is weird or a waste you'd be surprised to know i've found multiple AT stuff that was then used to push back tanks from downed enemies that brought AT) In the backlines I'm a trucker, I bring stuff from public warehouses to frontlines to help front lines.
In my opinion Towards the start about the progression, I’d say the main progression system is the rank and levels but new players don’t see these features immediately or don’t find them to give them that sense of mastery you talked about
The ranks and levels in Foxhole pretty much mean nothing though. I think they can give a pretty good idea but sometimes they aren't super accurate to a players play time/experience.
backline-depot-to-midline-depot logi nets you no commends at all. Some roles are more obvious than others. Frontline/sneaky base builder (I've probably built more BB's than I've done supply runs) backline salvage mine refueler LARP island capper (part-time position in Stema atm) LUV guy (helps win fronts with emergency supply runs and destroying/building WTs all over the place) Flatbed builder (Someone has to make them, right? I've only ever used public ones.) Backline TH sledgehammer&radio supplier
For the backline to midline logi runner. It does net you some commends but personally dont do this for commends. You'll just get increasingly more mad and ungrateful at people. Doing it for the common goal of we need to get these supplies here for the frontline logi runners is much more positive and contributes to a greater whole. The commends just a bonus at this point.
I like to call these midline logi "strategic logi," considering the equipment given to midline depots are massive packages to enable a proper counter to the enemy's overall strategy in adjacent regions.
@@RobertLovesGames I will . i really waiting for a new war, i am a coli XD and i will not change it. i am playing now front liner , bec. its fun but my trio playing logi. so we make effect in the new war. i must try the navy XD wardens wiining the war bec. of navy
The combat engineer! i love doing it, the equipment is the following: sapper uniform, a hammer, a radio,a bino, as many bmats as possible and if i'm feeling rich a luv to carry more, it basically helps the tank line repair and builds watchtowers near the road as the frontline advances
A frontline role that doesn't require a ton of effort/skill while still being fun due to the chaotic nature of frontlines is what I like to call the Quartermaster. Scavenge supplies from fallen soldiers to re-submit to the BB. If supplies are running low a couple quartermasters over the course of an hour or two can really help sustain the fight.
I recently got foxhole (haven't really started yet) and I'm very much a fire support type of person. I fly a-10c IIs in DCS and I constantly practice combined arms with aerial support in arma 3 operations, me flying whatever a-10 they give me. I'd be really into playing a fire support role, and when the aviation comes out I'm definitely going to become a designated pilot somewhere.
Aqquired some lovely memories exchanging stories with the enemy team from across a bridge in an area where the fighting has come to a halt. -*Until the logistics role into a dead area, fighting to gain ground is pointless.
A lot of players struggle with that in Foxhole. And honestly it takes a while to learn the game and to figure out what to do to be effective. Also sometimes what you are doing to be effective you might not always see the end results. So what I do in that case is just tell myself I helped someone even though I didn't directly see the person I helped. It takes certain mindset to play Foxhole sometimes.
Seeing this video after the update teaser video, really just amplifies that there are as many roles as your imagination can take you, and that everyone has a place in the great war machine
Anytime I'm on a front I'm constantly looking for sneaky places for watchtowers really satisfying when you get one up in a blind spot to gain more info
combat engineers are a fun role, take a logi halftrack with a tow cart full of barbed wire, sandbags, and beams to build delaying structures is always fun even if it always goes south
Combat engineer is my favourite go to role: building , repairing , fortifying , supporting the tank line, placing and unplacing barbed wire/ sand bags/ setting up tripod weapons, mines etc etc
Absolutely loved this video. can you make a video about the imbalance between wardens and collies sometime soon. it would help for many new players looking for wich faction to join.
Thank you! And I already made a faction video :) I don’t talk about balance because there are to many salty opinions about it. I play Foxhole to have fun!
I love that! I do this from time to time as well. Really helps the logi in the midline. And some loot goblin as well! I use to do this a lot but now I really only do it for bmats or AT weapons.
For clarification in case anyone was wondering about the mentor thing I just checked it out in his discord. Basically, it's a Q and A page. There are cool people there to answer questions but if you were hoping to get linked up with a mentor/teacher to help you in game kind of like what's shown in the video there's no dedicated channel in his discord for that. Still has helpful information though.
I am a freighter driver. I spent war 118 bringing all of the warden prototype landing apcs from king in the backline to tempest island. Once that was done I constructed and moved heavy oil from the ofshore rigs.
Nice! I use to do a lot of freighter driving! I recently got really frustrated with the new movement of the freighter but I will be back one of these wars to get back to my water logi.
@@RobertLovesGames I was too new to experience water logi before they made the acceleration slow on freighters. So I've only experienced them in their current state and I kind of dig it. Because so many people are put off by them I feel incredibly proficient when I make a perfect turn into a seaport or when I zigzag through a bunch of abandoned landingcraft inbetween two islands.
@enstatite2479 ok, I don't own Foxhole but I've been following it recently. This sounds awesome! Successful smuggling seems like an insane strategic value. Simultaneously taking away enemy resources while building your own
@RobertLovesGames thanks! I was mainly curious on smuggling because I haven't seen any content on that aspect; most of the content I've seen is on sabotage.
@@ethancollins4593 it doesn't make for very exciting video material. You sit in a boat for sometimes 30 minutes. Then a ship passes, you kill the driver, and then it's 30 minutes of driving to home. Repeat. And we also don't want to give away our ambush spots and smuggle routes of course
My favourite rolls are tanking atr, and infantry with either fiddler or blakerow and a flask and bayonets. That last one is my overall, can do most things basic infantry roll
after a little more than 1000 hours of play, I can say that Foxhole is game like no others, It got me hooked to it by it complexity and simplicity at the same tame. And got to play with really cool and fun people
My niche in foxhole is putting listening kits down. You tap into enemy Intel and can see what they can or *cant* see. Watchtowers are good. Concrete obs bunkers are better. Most of the time the OB tower buildings are in places easily tapped into also
@RobertLovesGames it would be classified under partisan roles. Just have to put the listening kit within 80m of the Intel source you are tapping into! Good luck! And great vids
There are a couple of roles that I do in game that I think are worth mentioning, though would be more applicable if you're in a regiment or if you just have like one or two friends that also play the game. Two of my good friends really like the resource gathering and refining part of the game, while I prefer the manufacturing portion of the game so things like factory and MPF work. They provide Basic Materials and Explosive Powder into a shared private stockpile that I pull from to make into basically whatever makes sense for the war effort. I usually just throw on a TH-cam video or hang out in a discord call with friends while I process all the materials I have on hand and either build those up for us to drop public somewhere or just drop them straight into a public stockpile from the get go. The reason that I bring this all up is to point out to new players that as long as you have some basic logi knowhow, good division of labor, and don't get in over your head with what you're trying to accomplish, you can churn out large amounts of basic supplies like small arms, shirts, ammo, grenades, etc. (Also Hangman Rifles, my beloved). If I had to give my role a name, it would probably be Small Arms Manufacturer or Small Arms Merchant because I do often flatbed the weapons to forward stockpiles myself. Another role I'll mention because it's how I really got invested in the game, is Iron Ship Captain. Freighter Logi is tedious at the best of times and that was even before the change to how the ships handle after the update. However, it is one of the most vital methods for transporting large amounts of supplies from backline ports to frontline ports and it's usually easier for small groups or solo players to get than a train. I don't often hear this role talked about but I just wanted to make sure to give a shoutout to Freighter Captains and especially the public logi captains that you all are some of the most unsung heroes in the game, keep up the great work!
I didn't feel much of this "not knowing what you can and can't do" thing when I started at foxhole, I went with the mindset that it's a war and collective work is what counts, my efforts must be progression in group not as an individual
Today's players want to fight for everything, I think the reason is that you are the main character in that game or in some games, but in a game like Foxhole, we are all equal (except for the ranks of course) but even they are a soldier like you, they are just doing their duty. I took care of this when I bought this game.
Emergency/frontline logistics. Supplying troops right in the front lines where there's a high risk of your truck or ship getting hit. High risk, high reward deliveries.
Armored car drivers for instance. Armored vehicles are pretty underrated, as they are weaker than tanks, but most players forgot their main purpose: supress enemy infantry attacks. Armoured cars got better speed stats than a tank, enough good weapons(especially warden's car with 2 grenade launchers) to make infantry rush tremble and, of course, an armour heavy enough to force enemy logistics to produce grenades or AT rifles.. I still remember the times when I picked one of those grenade launching cars, equipped it with gas grenades, picked my Luxemburg friend and just turned the whole battle for sector to our side by claiming one of strategic bridges and breaking the spine of Collies attack. They ran out of gasmasks and was forced to call 3 tanks just to not lose their positions to us completely.
when playing up front, I will play as the officer haha, just get a pistol, a pair of goggles and playing tactical whilst roleplaying my best moustached WW1 French officer I can! lots of fun and quite useful to coordinate non-regiment players!
I miss playing this sometimes... but its just that there's other things to play this year. when I play its pretty much just with my bro... Our Role is like either advanced scout tank (kinda like a partisan) or Medium support tank. typically we would build up some tanks, ammo, fuel and other equipment we need the night before we move said stuff closer to the frontline and have some fun. from what I understood though in a previous video though tanks are cheaper now... so this negates our usefulness a bit as we are more so heavy on Tank v Infantry combat.
There are a lot of great games that came out this year! Foxhole will always be here :D And that's awesome you get to play with your bro! They reverted that change couple of wars ago and tanks are about the same cost so you would still be effictive and helpful on the battlefield.
I mean I haven't tested it but looking at the map it feels like there's so many times where you think to yourself if we just had a single scout tank or an armoured car flank around and cut their logi you'd get so much done even just to scare logi man from bringing the expensive stuff
While I've not played Foxhole, I like watching the videos. My Great Granddad Henry drove ammunition wagons during World War One and while I don't believe that the conflict in Foxhole is a stand in for either of the World Wars; Based on lore I've read, faction aesthetics and Canadian History I wonder if the design leans more into the "Question of Canadian Identity" from the 1869-1945 period between its Anglophone and Francophone roots, Allophone wasn't talked about as much back then, the Wardens wanting to preserve their traditions and sovereignty like the Quebecois while the Colonials descend from a Great Empire like the Anglo-Canadian culture descended from British culture and Crown Loyalty and espouse values in a similar way to Anglo-Canadian liberal idealism of the independent farmstead and business town and White Anglo-Saxon but perhaps more quietly Protestant than their US counter-parts familial aesthetic. But I could be wrong and I'm not a massive expert in these things. Still, given family stories from the two world wars, the logi videos reminded me of Henry's story and that of his future wife Great Grandmother Louise who was a munitions worker and experimental shell filler in World War One.
Slight funny issue I noticed at the beginning. You talked about how other games offer a choice of class or something, then shown character selection from Path of Exile, while PoE completly avoids locking players. Choosing a character doesn't stop you from playing certain build, you can be an electric mage as a Witch character, as well as a Marauder or Duelist character. Showing Diablo or Last Epoch would be a better examples, but I assume you are a PoE player and wanted to slip in some footage?
True lol! They have a bit more freedom than games like WoW or other games. And you are exactly right Path of Exile is the only one I've played the most and could get footage for :D
Love it! I use to do this a lot. Now if I am playing that role I mainly just bring back bmats, anti-tank weapons and ammo or tank shells. If the base is in real desperate need for supplies then I bring back anything I can find.
Would be funny if technicals became a thing. In which some folks can turn their construction vehicle into essentially a Killdozer. Would perfectly fit into the combat engineer or Partisans role.
I will purchase a new laptop by next year and the first game i am going to install is foxhole, tenchnically it is my friend who is going to gift it to me on steam. We both agreed to play partisans together as colonials in our first game, meet you at the war Robert! :D
That's awesome to hear! Feel free to join my discord and ask any questions you have about the game and if you need help with anything :D See you out there!
My first thousand hours was as a scrooper, my next 500 hours were as a logi and then the next 500 were as a Frontliner. Tbh do what makes you happy, I like to dip my thighs in every water, and with the knowledge I obtained I can jump to what ever is needed at the given moment
I suck at logi (at least front/mid/management) but I love the idea of working in facility, saying I have 24 hours in most games says I’m pretty okay, but in foxhole I get so overwhelmed
I always enjoyed playing infantry, but "Enemy at the gates" edition, start with nothing and only using what you can scavenge, with exception of the shirt I feel like it at least does a part to keep supplies in the bases for people who need it more than I do
Foudn my role, one of those weird logi player who will spend three hours on a round trip of loading and unloading storage containers from the far back ports to the front
It may not be super niche, but I play a grumpy doc...Im decked as a medic but I always have a rifle and a bayonet...Sometimes doc has to hop in a trench and stab someone who has been shootin da boiz. I personally think when you see your medic leading the charge you are gonna follow him lol
Best frontline role is hands down the tank crew. It's the best if you have a team. Inf. is good but slugging for hours for a few steps of land can get boring, but you know when you roll up with the cavalry sht gonna go down.
THE SCAVENGER. usually got 2 or 3 hours to play, so i go to frontline and drop everything i got and scavenge any loot from the dead and bring back to BB to be used.
I once met a man who was a glorified "parking master" he would just go up to people telling them to park their flatbeds better then leave. We need more parking people in foxhole o7
lol! I use to be a parking enforcer as well! I always made sure places were tidy or if there were to many vehicles put them in seaports or storage depots.
You forgot the arguably best role in the game
the buss drivers who give infentry players a ride from the spawn point to the front if the nearest spawn point is far away
lol! There are so many roles! This is a good one for sure!
I love those guys
Battle bus is probably one the best morale boosters for your infantry.
Bus driver is the best! I am definitely unbiased as a driver for the Warden Line Express.
Bus driving doesn't get enough credit. It's not always about optimization and meta stuff. Busses are morale boosters, that is their true value
I usually don the medic uniform (+equipment) and a sniper rifle, so I could take out rival medics.
I call it the War Crimes Specialist.
Either that, or rush the frontline with no equipment as the dedicated tripod weapon thief.
Nice! I love that!
The UN is weeping in the corner
My version is medic with the 20mm ATR, for extra special warcrimes
foxholes rank and lack thereof class system is perfect
Agreed!!
Agreed! It’s always the worst when you want to try a new role in a game but can’t get the chance as PUGs want it ran by the higher ranked person with everything unlocked
I am easily the loot goblin. I nab anything I can get my hands on and bring it back to the Frontline BB to be used
Love it! I did this a ton when I first started. Now I really only do it for bmats or AT weapons ha
I do this a lot as well, always have fun doing this especially when arty is raining down
Same. I tell new players all the time to grab their kits from the dead if its a busy battlefield. I wish it counted towards your Logi stats because I've easily retrieved multiple truckloads of guns, gear, and ammo from the cluttered trenches each war. If you really pay close attention to the front you're on, you can figure out what items are running out the fastest and focus on retrieving those. Often, bandages and plasma are the first to go (for some reason most medics dont run back to their body that got hit by arty and dropped 12 bandages and 10 plasma)
Romanian army
@@SoNorthitzSouth Actually I think storing items you found in a BB does count under your supplies delivered, I managed over 5k pts in that category without once doing a logistics run.
I think the one role I've really adapted to is: Tank Hunter. I's a combination of Anti Tank Rifleman and Partisan. You use scout uniforms, sticky grenades, and binos to scout enemy tank lines and avoid being detected. The key part of being a Tank Hunter is teamwork; you need to use a squad with a patient leader to pick out the right target at the right time. As the tech tree progresses and vehicles gain more HP being able to make tactical calls on what to attack is a crucial skill you develop. It might be tempting to throw 10-12 sticky grenades at a battle tank and kill it, but sometimes its better to eliminate 2 to 3 support vehicles like tank destroyers so friendly armor can take out the BT afterwards. Other times it might better to spend all the stickies to disable enemy tracks so they're all vulnerable to being hit by artillery; battlefield awareness is important.
It's a very refined role, and if you're ever on the front and you see [WLL] Legendary yell "IM MAKING AN ANTI TANK SQUAD", feel free to join and I'll teach you all the ropes. o7
I love that! I need to come join you sometime :D Thanks for sharing all the information about this role and how you do it! Appreciate it!
Played Foxhole this morning before I had to head to work. Did something like tank hunter, except we just sat around in the quiet and waited for the tanks to get too close so we all can get 2-3 shots off before they retreated
New update coming soon with lots of anti tank rifles gonna be eating good up there when the armor roles up hehe he
which side ur playing?
I mostly play as what I feel like playing. If the relic has a mortar,bino’s and shells,you bet I’ll grab a fiddler and die without killing any collies.
Love it! Thanks for sharing that!
As a new player I can say, the hardest thing is chosing what I want to do for the day.
the lack of Roles can be very difficult for a new player, but it has its perks. Mainly being able to switch roles in matter of second.
Honestly a lot of player struggle with that. And yes I agree being able to switch what I'm doing at any time is great! Which is one of the reasons I love Foxhole :D Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this!
Your role for today is: Anti Tank (if war older than 8 days)
Read up on everything, regardless of what you pick. Being able to jump to what's needed is hyper important and under utilized. Especially if you have any command presence or capabilities, you can do so much and change a Frontline
For the front line roles, I’ve seen plenty of dedicated frontline diggers, looters, and “battle busers” who drive trucks to carry troops and supplies to the frontline when the battle bunker is far away from the frontline.
I don't wanna be that guy, but I'll be that guy. grenadier = Gren-A-Dear.
Tomato, tomato same thing :D lol
Gren-ay-durr sounds cooler
@RobertLovesGames It is not. It is the English language and you should try speaking it correctly.
@Gravity_studioss It does not. It sounds foolish.
Wrong!!!
1) go to a front
2) use your mic (tap or hold T) and ask what to do
3) do that, and keep doing that as other tasks pop up
I've been playing for a week, day 1 and 2 was infantry until I was asked and showed how to do Logi runs. To be blunt I wouldn't specialize in a type of infantry until you understand the game a bit better, which may only take 3 days.
One role for infantry that everyone has forgotten about is that of the 'looter'
Where you simply walk around the battlefield, unequipped, scavenging for equipment from the dead and bringing it back to base, so it doesn't go to the waist or into enemy hands.
Yep that's a good one! Looters are getting a buff with this next update as well :D
@@RobertLovesGames Only now i noticed, i have been playing "Forever Winter", before it was a concept art lol
A role I find myself falling into quite often is “mine sweeper”. It’s when you drive your tank over mines to clear the path for your friends! I definitely do it on purpose!
My role is unlock the vehicle and parking or saving the vehicle to seaport or storage depo. So the road can be clear to help logi run faster, and save the vehicle from partisan or damage
Love that! I use to do this a lot as well! Keep up the good work!
After buying a new PC, choosing a role in Foxhole is a thing that still scares me before buying and makes me anxious. I can only hope that I will catch a wave.
Feel free to join my discord and DM me if you need help finding roles or things to do!
You can do whatever, today I gathered a lot of scrap, made a lot of Bmat, helped a train to refine like a lot of scraps, saw a message on map to logi that a frontline needs some things, I made them,delivered them, played a bit of infantry than one flank was without medics, I filled till' some medics showed up, we pushed them back so I got to repairs and building. IMO the best way to play is that you do what your team needs. Often when the enemy shoots that one single hammer clapping away can be the difference between a failed build or a completed one.
They need to add the demoknight role
lol! I'm for it!
You can have a rifle grenade launcher and a bayonet. Switch is long so as eyelander's.
One of my big roles on the frontline is armor support. Nab an abandoned logi truck and run tanks ammo and bmats to keep them alive and fighting, saving them rearming time. The logi truck can be used in a pivot role to loot tank ammo as friendly armor pushes, help build watchtowers, suicide into an enemy tank rush to buy time for your own armor to retreat, and sometimes even as a battle bus. It's most useful for 30mm half tracks, which can't hold very much ammo and so need constant resupply when actively fighting.
I also had a lot of fun helping mortar houses in a similar way, in war 115 I manufactured bmats+emats in the Foundry, shipped them to Abandoned Ward, and manufactured supplies and mortar shells on the spot to deliver to the hungry mortar houses as the city was under siege. Definitely worth a try if you find yourself defending a city you have a logistical foothold in (or in your case, one with some public emat+bmat; with the emat changes people like to leave emat resource containers around frontline factories).
THOU SHALL SHOW NO FEAR, IN THE MIGHTY EYES OF THE LORD I SHALL HOLD MY POST THIS IS WHERE I MAKE MY STAND. HUZAHHH WARDENS FOR CALLAHAN
Keep up the good fight!!!
Everytime I see a new video from Robert I get chills
Ha! That's awesome! :D
One niche role I do that no one likes to do (including me) but should be done? Bringing ironships full of empty shipping containers and/or equipment that's unecessary to a specific front. Good example, is during the siege of Ogmaran. I would do my normal naval supply runs down from tine only after bringing a few of the ships back from ogmaran. These ships usually had either sulfur or random emats/sledge hammers/dunne crates in them.
All that being said, devs need to make ironships either salvageable or repackageable. We had like 400 sitting in og's port while we had virtually none in Tine for supply runs. I understand why, bringing back individual ironships is tedious, boring, and unappreciated. Devman please god fix this, there are so many easy fixes that would make logiman hate life way less.
its not more boring than harvesting stuff.
The mentorship in the game is awesome.
I jumped onto my first game and three different players taught me: How to crew a tank, drive and operate a crane and how artillery works. It was an absolute blast!
There are a lot of helpful people in the Foxhole community! And that's awesome to hear! Thanks for sharing your experience with this! :D
Whenever i played Foxhole i usually played the role of grabbing resources and when i am at the frontline i sometimes play as basic infantry and sometimes as a scavenger/loot goblin grabbing anything i can get my filthy little fingers on and scurry the supplies back to a nearby base
Nice! Love it! Loot goblin!
Thank you for these videos! I’ve had Foxhole since early access (back when it was just one region) and I tried to get back into it a few months back after watching videos for years and years in the wars. Watching your videos helped contextualize a lot of the moving parts and I’ve been playing my first actual war these past two weeks! I love it!
PSA: if you run in the road and refuse to get out of Logi driver's way, you just become a sacrifice to the Logi gods.
same goes for parking on train tracks.
Logi stops for no one
Most sophisticated logi communication: *honk*- other logi guy: *honk*
Ammo runner for tripod guns and mortar teams.
Gun number for artillery, they can always use an extra body moving shells.
I love it! And yes arty always needs people running shells either by the guns or on the flatbeds! Thanks for sharing that!
Also- just a 2nd person on the gun helps the accuracy
@@AtlanRau pusher of towed gun.
After a couple thousand hours you automatically get assigned a unique role called "salty veteran". Honestly, worst role ever, 4/10 I do not recommend.
lol! I try to stay away from that role as much as possible. Which is why I refuse to learn anything about health/damage values of items. :D
@ whaaaat? You don’t wanna learn SPREADSHEETS?!
If your new, id recommend starting with infantary. If you want to start branching out, logistics or navy are a good inbetween, and for more high skill* id recommend tanks, and arty spotting.
If you want to know what helps the most: arty arty arty, if theres someone looking for arty crew, its honestly pretty boring, but its incredibly useful. After this its logi.
Always remember Arty wins battles and logi wins wars
damn tank crews or naval crews are what i want to do when i get the game, how hard is it to get into a naval or tank crew ? even if new ?
@@Hobo_Callum I was a tanker by day 3 ish, there's a good chance someone will pop up on the front asking for a gunner (generally considered the lowest role, least risk of you causing the loss of the tank). It's pretty straightforward honestly, just listen to whoever is the designated commander (often the driver), then you just learn as you go, that's about it really.
I've had Foxhole for a week now. Im already Level 7 and a SGT. I've been a builder, medic, tank driver and gunner, and a single man mortar team with bino's with a mix if Fragmentation and Flare rounds. Give everything a try and always feel free to ask for help in figuring stuff out. Ran into a WO1 that never was a Medic before and didn't know he needed plasma to charge the medical kits to revive people 😂
u forgot the fire fighter 💀
didnt they add water trucks in the update together with flamethrowers?
Oh I "forgot" a lot of roles like I mentioned. This would be an extremely long video if I talked about almost every role or what you can do in this game :D
Yea but I'd say no one really does this regularly. Everyone kind of collectively grabs the firetruck if the TH or something catches fire. Imo and for me personally I wouldnt categorizes this as role cause it isnt something you can constantly do unless of course they bring 10+ pallets of fire rockets 👀
Foxhole university, amazing idea! Very much needed with the wave of new players, the better they are, the more fun everyone can have! Props to you 😊🎉🎉
Thank you! Trying to build it up as much as we can to help as many new players as we can!
It’s funny, no matter how many different roles I try, I always end up going back to basic frontline infantry. It’s what I usually find most enjoyable.
That's great to hear! Foxhole is meant to be fun so play the roles that you like the most :D Thanks for sharing that!
One not mentioned I've found I like is scrap crane operator. Filling containers of scrap for others to take away quickly and easily from scrap fields with youtube to the side is comfy.
Frontline builder/engineer is often forgotten by most people! If no one fortify the gain, the enemy would have a good time rolling in again.
True! That is almost an unsung hero as well! Thanks for bringing that up!
about the mentor role - make sure you have the person you're mentoring do a job shadow thing with you. I was doing some logistics during this war at one point and ended up having a player shadow me, ended up showing them the whole production line. from scrap to factory to front line.
Wish they had some instruments for the front line band. Imagine repelling a nade rush with some lovely music backing you up or having bugle to single for an attack or retreat.
Seriously! I want a drum or horn or something!
Your videos are great, I'm trying to get more into the game recently, not sure what I want to do or where to find people to play with who will hold my hand but this helps, thank you : )
Thank you! And I have a sort of Foxhole University in my discord where we help people learn the game and help them find groups to play with! Feel free to join if you need some help! discord.gg/NGXdVsdUUB
7:07 Thank you Robert, and good luck to you in this endeavor. They're not easy to organize, but they're very rewarding personally. The payoff is a community that will continue to grow.
In my regiment we often have a dedicated role for infantry that we designate "demolition Squads". Their job is always to clear the path for infantry and tanks by blowing up Pillboxes and other defences using tripods or rpgs. Their pretty fun and impactful as tanks often forget how imporant it is to not only take out AT wepons but also the stuff holding the infantry back.
That sounds awesome! I love that! Thanks for sharing that.
So I could return to my real world MOS in Foxhole. Good to know.
I just love to see solo bayonet madlads looking for an oppening in enemy lines to flank. Fabulous creatures. Love to coop with them.
lol! As much as a I hate the bayo on the battlefield I love seeing good bayo plays!
I personally found I really loved playing medic. Most other games I typically play more defensively or aggressively, turrets, tanks, heavy armor, heavy weapons, but here I found I super loved the field medic loop. I still enjoyed using heavy armor and weapons and the vehicles are a blast, and hell I even enjoy working logistics, I've yet to find a role that I disliked because of how well done the mechanics are and just continue to get better with each update. But field medic was just a ton of fun and even let me roleplay some which was hilarious, and I'm excited to try out the new medic loop with the infantry update
After 3 years and 4k hours, my best friend is the shovel
Love that! Whenever I see a player shoveling by themselves I 90% of the time stop what I'm doing and help them shovel.
i generally choose a bread roll when i am jumping into fox hole (a cup of tea as well)
Love that! :D I approve of dad pun ha!
In the frontline i'm a scavenger, my whole shtick is to grab stuff from fallen soldiers and return them to the base, additionally it comes with grabbing the first weapon you find to help the frontlines and carrying downed team mates back to medics. (If you think scavenger is weird or a waste you'd be surprised to know i've found multiple AT stuff that was then used to push back tanks from downed enemies that brought AT) In the backlines I'm a trucker, I bring stuff from public warehouses to frontlines to help front lines.
In my opinion Towards the start about the progression, I’d say the main progression system is the rank and levels but new players don’t see these features immediately or don’t find them to give them that sense of mastery you talked about
The ranks and levels in Foxhole pretty much mean nothing though. I think they can give a pretty good idea but sometimes they aren't super accurate to a players play time/experience.
backline-depot-to-midline-depot logi nets you no commends at all.
Some roles are more obvious than others.
Frontline/sneaky base builder (I've probably built more BB's than I've done supply runs)
backline salvage mine refueler
LARP island capper (part-time position in Stema atm)
LUV guy (helps win fronts with emergency supply runs and destroying/building WTs all over the place)
Flatbed builder (Someone has to make them, right? I've only ever used public ones.)
Backline TH sledgehammer&radio supplier
Thanks for sharing these roles! Tons to do in Foxhole!
For the backline to midline logi runner. It does net you some commends but personally dont do this for commends. You'll just get increasingly more mad and ungrateful at people. Doing it for the common goal of we need to get these supplies here for the frontline logi runners is much more positive and contributes to a greater whole. The commends just a bonus at this point.
I like to call these midline logi "strategic logi," considering the equipment given to midline depots are massive packages to enable a proper counter to the enemy's overall strategy in adjacent regions.
7:35 as a warden I would like to deeply thank fmat ❤
i bought the game 2 days ago , everyone is so friendly. everyone having fun , didnt see any toxic beh. from any side.
Nice! Glad to hear you are having a good experience! Feel free to DM me on discord if you have any questions or need help with anything!
@@RobertLovesGames I will . i really waiting for a new war, i am a coli XD and i will not change it. i am playing now front liner , bec. its fun but my trio playing logi. so we make effect in the new war. i must try the navy XD wardens wiining the war bec. of navy
The combat engineer!
i love doing it, the equipment is the following: sapper uniform, a hammer, a radio,a bino, as many bmats as possible and if i'm feeling rich a luv to carry more, it basically helps the tank line repair and builds watchtowers near the road as the frontline advances
My class is Mammon thrower.
A frontline role that doesn't require a ton of effort/skill while still being fun due to the chaotic nature of frontlines is what I like to call the Quartermaster. Scavenge supplies from fallen soldiers to re-submit to the BB. If supplies are running low a couple quartermasters over the course of an hour or two can really help sustain the fight.
Yes! I love doing this! And this role got a buff with the new update that is coming out here soon!
I recently got foxhole (haven't really started yet) and I'm very much a fire support type of person. I fly a-10c IIs in DCS and I constantly practice combined arms with aerial support in arma 3 operations, me flying whatever a-10 they give me. I'd be really into playing a fire support role, and when the aviation comes out I'm definitely going to become a designated pilot somewhere.
Just started watching you while looking for guides lol glad youtube sent me here 🎉
Nice! That's awesome to hear! Feel free to DM me on discord if you have any questions or need help learning the game!
Aqquired some lovely memories exchanging stories with the enemy team from across a bridge in an area where the fighting has come to a halt.
-*Until the logistics role into a dead area, fighting to gain ground is pointless.
Nice! That sounds like a good time :D Thanks for sharing that!
bro that whole 'the problem' section fits me so well, i hate feeling 'directionless' and like idk wtf im doing or where to go.
A lot of players struggle with that in Foxhole. And honestly it takes a while to learn the game and to figure out what to do to be effective. Also sometimes what you are doing to be effective you might not always see the end results. So what I do in that case is just tell myself I helped someone even though I didn't directly see the person I helped. It takes certain mindset to play Foxhole sometimes.
Seeing this video after the update teaser video, really just amplifies that there are as many roles as your imagination can take you, and that everyone has a place in the great war machine
The Jack Of All Trades role, for those who wish to really attain 10,000+ hours in the game.
lol for real! I'm 1700 hours in and still know almost nothing about building :D I'm sure I could sink a bunch of time into that.
+10000 hours would be the master of all trades lol
I mostly play as infantry and artillery, chasing collies with a bayonet as they scream for their life never gets old😂
Love your content Robert!!!
Anytime I'm on a front I'm constantly looking for sneaky places for watchtowers really satisfying when you get one up in a blind spot to gain more info
Nice! I've been doing this a lot as well! I love getting more intel for my team :D
Nice vid. I mainly play Tank support in my LUV, providing repairs, bmats and fuel.
Thank you! And I love that! Great way to support the tank line!
combat engineers are a fun role, take a logi halftrack with a tow cart full of barbed wire, sandbags, and beams to build delaying structures is always fun even if it always goes south
Combat engineer is my favourite go to role: building , repairing , fortifying , supporting the tank line, placing and unplacing barbed wire/ sand bags/ setting up tripod weapons, mines etc etc
Absolutely loved this video.
can you make a video about the imbalance between wardens and collies sometime soon.
it would help for many new players looking for wich faction to join.
Thank you! And I already made a faction video :) I don’t talk about balance because there are to many salty opinions about it. I play Foxhole to have fun!
I am a recyler... i take abondoned logi trucks and bring them back... or taking all equipment lying around behind the frontline back to the bungerbase
I love that! I do this from time to time as well. Really helps the logi in the midline. And some loot goblin as well! I use to do this a lot but now I really only do it for bmats or AT weapons.
For clarification in case anyone was wondering about the mentor thing I just checked it out in his discord. Basically, it's a Q and A page. There are cool people there to answer questions but if you were hoping to get linked up with a mentor/teacher to help you in game kind of like what's shown in the video there's no dedicated channel in his discord for that. Still has helpful information though.
I am a freighter driver. I spent war 118 bringing all of the warden prototype landing apcs from king in the backline to tempest island. Once that was done I constructed and moved heavy oil from the ofshore rigs.
Nice! I use to do a lot of freighter driving! I recently got really frustrated with the new movement of the freighter but I will be back one of these wars to get back to my water logi.
@@RobertLovesGames I was too new to experience water logi before they made the acceleration slow on freighters. So I've only experienced them in their current state and I kind of dig it. Because so many people are put off by them I feel incredibly proficient when I make a perfect turn into a seaport or when I zigzag through a bunch of abandoned landingcraft inbetween two islands.
Has anyone ever successfully run as a Partisan smuggler? Not just destroying enemy logi, but actually stealing stuff and getting it back to your team?
Wardens have an entire discord dedicated to just pirating enemy ships and bringing them home
@enstatite2479 ok, I don't own Foxhole but I've been following it recently. This sounds awesome! Successful smuggling seems like an insane strategic value. Simultaneously taking away enemy resources while building your own
Yep! Lots of groups do this! Feel free to join my discord if you have any other questions about Foxhole!
@RobertLovesGames thanks! I was mainly curious on smuggling because I haven't seen any content on that aspect; most of the content I've seen is on sabotage.
@@ethancollins4593 it doesn't make for very exciting video material. You sit in a boat for sometimes 30 minutes. Then a ship passes, you kill the driver, and then it's 30 minutes of driving to home. Repeat.
And we also don't want to give away our ambush spots and smuggle routes of course
For me, the role of Marksman. Some long rifle, sticking to the second line of infantry and picking targets.
Love this! Thanks for sharing that!
I just started nov 19th and hella people helped me out when I have a question very cool community
That's awesome to hear! Glad to hear you are having a good experience!
i love you bro always keep this game alive
Thank you so much! I will do my best :D
Log in mine components refine rmats, build tank, specalise upgrade tank, drive to seaport, restock and rearm, drive to front, die, repeat.
My favourite rolls are tanking atr, and infantry with either fiddler or blakerow and a flask and bayonets. That last one is my overall, can do most things basic infantry roll
Homestly the best tip for roles and how to play the game is joining a regi😅
after a little more than 1000 hours of play, I can say that Foxhole is game like no others, It got me hooked to it by it complexity and simplicity at the same tame. And got to play with really cool and fun people
My niche in foxhole is putting listening kits down. You tap into enemy Intel and can see what they can or *cant* see. Watchtowers are good. Concrete obs bunkers are better. Most of the time the OB tower buildings are in places easily tapped into also
I want to start doing this! This honestly sounds really fun!
@RobertLovesGames it would be classified under partisan roles. Just have to put the listening kit within 80m of the Intel source you are tapping into! Good luck! And great vids
There are a couple of roles that I do in game that I think are worth mentioning, though would be more applicable if you're in a regiment or if you just have like one or two friends that also play the game. Two of my good friends really like the resource gathering and refining part of the game, while I prefer the manufacturing portion of the game so things like factory and MPF work. They provide Basic Materials and Explosive Powder into a shared private stockpile that I pull from to make into basically whatever makes sense for the war effort. I usually just throw on a TH-cam video or hang out in a discord call with friends while I process all the materials I have on hand and either build those up for us to drop public somewhere or just drop them straight into a public stockpile from the get go.
The reason that I bring this all up is to point out to new players that as long as you have some basic logi knowhow, good division of labor, and don't get in over your head with what you're trying to accomplish, you can churn out large amounts of basic supplies like small arms, shirts, ammo, grenades, etc. (Also Hangman Rifles, my beloved). If I had to give my role a name, it would probably be Small Arms Manufacturer or Small Arms Merchant because I do often flatbed the weapons to forward stockpiles myself.
Another role I'll mention because it's how I really got invested in the game, is Iron Ship Captain. Freighter Logi is tedious at the best of times and that was even before the change to how the ships handle after the update. However, it is one of the most vital methods for transporting large amounts of supplies from backline ports to frontline ports and it's usually easier for small groups or solo players to get than a train. I don't often hear this role talked about but I just wanted to make sure to give a shoutout to Freighter Captains and especially the public logi captains that you all are some of the most unsung heroes in the game, keep up the great work!
I didn't feel much of this "not knowing what you can and can't do" thing when I started at foxhole, I went with the mindset that it's a war and collective work is what counts, my efforts must be progression in group not as an individual
That's a great way to come into Foxhole! Thanks for sharing that!
Today's players want to fight for everything, I think the reason is that you are the main character in that game or in some games, but in a game like Foxhole, we are all equal (except for the ranks of course) but even they are a soldier like you, they are just doing their duty. I took care of this when I bought this game.
Emergency/frontline logistics. Supplying troops right in the front lines where there's a high risk of your truck or ship getting hit. High risk, high reward deliveries.
Armored car drivers for instance.
Armored vehicles are pretty underrated, as they are weaker than tanks, but most players forgot their main purpose: supress enemy infantry attacks. Armoured cars got better speed stats than a tank, enough good weapons(especially warden's car with 2 grenade launchers) to make infantry rush tremble and, of course, an armour heavy enough to force enemy logistics to produce grenades or AT rifles.. I still remember the times when I picked one of those grenade launching cars, equipped it with gas grenades, picked my Luxemburg friend and just turned the whole battle for sector to our side by claiming one of strategic bridges and breaking the spine of Collies attack. They ran out of gasmasks and was forced to call 3 tanks just to not lose their positions to us completely.
when playing up front, I will play as the officer haha, just get a pistol, a pair of goggles and playing tactical whilst roleplaying my best moustached WW1 French officer I can! lots of fun and quite useful to coordinate non-regiment players!
I love it! That sounds like a fun way to play. Thanks for sharing that!
I always play the machine gunner. Or heavy machine gunner with a friend.
I miss playing this sometimes... but its just that there's other things to play this year.
when I play its pretty much just with my bro... Our Role is like either advanced scout tank (kinda like a partisan) or Medium support tank. typically we would build up some tanks, ammo, fuel and other equipment we need the night before we move said stuff closer to the frontline and have some fun. from what I understood though in a previous video though tanks are cheaper now... so this negates our usefulness a bit as we are more so heavy on Tank v Infantry combat.
There are a lot of great games that came out this year! Foxhole will always be here :D
And that's awesome you get to play with your bro! They reverted that change couple of wars ago and tanks are about the same cost so you would still be effictive and helpful on the battlefield.
I mean I haven't tested it but looking at the map it feels like there's so many times where you think to yourself if we just had a single scout tank or an armoured car flank around and cut their logi you'd get so much done even just to scare logi man from bringing the expensive stuff
The most important role is whoever is King Of The Flood Aces!
AND THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!!!!!
- Finch
Just had an awesome conversation with an guy from Alaska in the waiting queue. I´m brazilian by the way, this game is something else man, i love it
That's awesome to hear! I always like striking up random conversations with players if they have time to chat :D Thanks for sharing that!
While I've not played Foxhole, I like watching the videos.
My Great Granddad Henry drove ammunition wagons during World War One and while I don't believe that the conflict in Foxhole is a stand in for either of the World Wars;
Based on lore I've read, faction aesthetics and Canadian History I wonder if the design leans more into the "Question of Canadian Identity" from the 1869-1945 period between its Anglophone and Francophone roots, Allophone wasn't talked about as much back then, the Wardens wanting to preserve their traditions and sovereignty like the Quebecois while the Colonials descend from a Great Empire like the Anglo-Canadian culture descended from British culture and Crown Loyalty and espouse values in a similar way to Anglo-Canadian liberal idealism of the independent farmstead and business town and White Anglo-Saxon but perhaps more quietly Protestant than their US counter-parts familial aesthetic. But I could be wrong and I'm not a massive expert in these things.
Still, given family stories from the two world wars, the logi videos reminded me of Henry's story and that of his future wife Great Grandmother Louise who was a munitions worker and experimental shell filler in World War One.
Slight funny issue I noticed at the beginning. You talked about how other games offer a choice of class or something, then shown character selection from Path of Exile, while PoE completly avoids locking players. Choosing a character doesn't stop you from playing certain build, you can be an electric mage as a Witch character, as well as a Marauder or Duelist character.
Showing Diablo or Last Epoch would be a better examples, but I assume you are a PoE player and wanted to slip in some footage?
True lol! They have a bit more freedom than games like WoW or other games. And you are exactly right Path of Exile is the only one I've played the most and could get footage for :D
sometimes a gather equipment off the battlefield and bring them to the base
Love it! I use to do this a lot. Now if I am playing that role I mainly just bring back bmats, anti-tank weapons and ammo or tank shells. If the base is in real desperate need for supplies then I bring back anything I can find.
Would be funny if technicals became a thing. In which some folks can turn their construction vehicle into essentially a Killdozer. Would perfectly fit into the combat engineer or Partisans role.
I will purchase a new laptop by next year and the first game i am going to install is foxhole, tenchnically it is my friend who is going to gift it to me on steam. We both agreed to play partisans together as colonials in our first game, meet you at the war Robert! :D
That's awesome to hear! Feel free to join my discord and ask any questions you have about the game and if you need help with anything :D See you out there!
My first thousand hours was as a scrooper, my next 500 hours were as a logi and then the next 500 were as a Frontliner. Tbh do what makes you happy, I like to dip my thighs in every water, and with the knowledge I obtained I can jump to what ever is needed at the given moment
I suck at logi (at least front/mid/management) but I love the idea of working in facility, saying I have 24 hours in most games says I’m pretty okay, but in foxhole I get so overwhelmed
Nice! Lots of regiments would love to have you help in their facilities :D Hit me up on discord if you need help finding a group!
@ I tried working at HCNS but I can’t play enough actively to contribute
I always enjoyed playing infantry, but "Enemy at the gates" edition, start with nothing and only using what you can scavenge, with exception of the shirt I feel like it at least does a part to keep supplies in the bases for people who need it more than I do
Foudn my role, one of those weird logi player who will spend three hours on a round trip of loading and unloading storage containers from the far back ports to the front
Hey I love that! I'm one of those weird logi players as well! Especially doing freighter runs :D
Havn't played in a while but i used to take mines go and set them up around the back/mid line enemy resource nodes and facilites.
Nice! I love that! Thanks for sharing that!
Hell yeah, who else roles they fox in a hole !
Oh me for sure!
Battlefield Scavenger is my favorite role after Medic
That's a great role! And that role got a buff with the new changes that are coming in the update!
It may not be super niche, but I play a grumpy doc...Im decked as a medic but I always have a rifle and a bayonet...Sometimes doc has to hop in a trench and stab someone who has been shootin da boiz. I personally think when you see your medic leading the charge you are gonna follow him lol
lol nice! Actual role and some roleplay! And yes if I see medic charging forward I feel much more confident! Thanks for sharing that!
ive been looting corpses and bringing the findings back to the relic base while logi was cut off
I love it! I do this as well!
Best frontline role is hands down the tank crew. It's the best if you have a team. Inf. is good but slugging for hours for a few steps of land can get boring, but you know when you roll up with the cavalry sht gonna go down.
THE SCAVENGER. usually got 2 or 3 hours to play, so i go to frontline and drop everything i got and scavenge any loot from the dead and bring back to BB to be used.
I once met a man who was a glorified "parking master" he would just go up to people telling them to park their flatbeds better then leave. We need more parking people in foxhole o7
lol! I use to be a parking enforcer as well! I always made sure places were tidy or if there were to many vehicles put them in seaports or storage depots.
