First of all, its not going to be implemented in game unless the dev team wants it to be. Don't cry about people discussing changes, they can just be fun discussions, nothing more.

Here's my arguments for why power lines should have hit box collisions.

1. Power lines not having collision actually affects a lot of potential landing zones and landing patterns. This would limit LZ choice for fast pilots or inexperienced ones and encourage more caution.
2. More pilot skill expression. People hitting power lines and exploding is a learned consequence of dangerous flying. Good pilots have hit things, blown up and grown in skill from it. Bad pilots have not yet had the opportunity.
3. Power lines are hard to see. Further delineates good pilots that are cognizant of the map or have the wherewithal to notice utility poles and the common sense to know what bridges the gap.
4. Realism. The game is arcade as hell, but nothing reminds you more of that than when your entire helicopter phases through trees, buildings or powerlines. Powerlines don't have hitboxes at all, unlike the other two that have partial.

Edit: Nobody can read (see: fun discussions) and ig people would rather just have no discussion. Thanks to everyone who provided input without spiraling out into a little validation tantrum

I got downvoted to hell for a question. And I noticed that its a common thing here, other people's questions got downvoted too. This is how you guys gonna treat new players? This is how U wanna build up the community/playerbase for this game?

I know its Reddit but damn guys... Be better.

Do it for myself and Just wanna share for who might wait it!

Blue team members sound like they are recruiting for Starship Troopers

I'm doing my part!
I know you have what it takes to enlist.
Don't just fight for the Blue. Live for it.

Hello,

im super exited for this game as Im a huge arma 3 koth fan with hundrets of hours in it.

I didnt have the time to join the playtest as I was on vacation at the tine.

How similar is the game to Arma 3's koth? Does it feel more like a mil sim or battlefield-esque? Are armed vehicles balanced to be realistic or to be arcady? Is sniping with tanks possible?

It is really boring to always play the same towers all the time…
Do we know if the towers will at least change locations on the maps sometimes cuz it feels like only 25% of the map is played…

too many things happened , but why that did not cause any damage to me or them ! it just blocked sight

I did not play the beta. Very interested in the game. Quick question for the progression. The way I understand it is you can progress your kit as you play it to get unlocks. Like better find and helicopters etc. then you can. It them with your money.

So when the games over and you start a new game do you already have that higher tier unlock available to start with?

And if so how would the game balance it so one team isn’t just stomping the other cause they have the best gear right away?

Thank you!

Hello all

I am new here i saw a game few times in reels and shorts did not really care but then it catch my eye

I did not play beta and i was wondering how does game running or at least how did it run in beta for players that did play

My pc spacs are

r7 7800x3d
32gb ddr5 cl 28 6000mhz
Rx 9060 XT 8gb (upgrade will come soon to 9070 or 9070xt)

But till the upgrade did anyone had simular pc ? How did it run ?

Thanks you all and i cannot wait for game to come out !

Not the Gunship version, just the cargo plane

I'm seeing half the posts on this sub sitting at 0 downvotes, and most of them aren't offensive, bad ideas, or poorly written. Some guy will just be like "Here are some cool grips they could add to the guns!" and it'll be mass downvoted instantly. I get that people don't want this game to skew too far off of the current vision, but chill out a bit? Maybe engage with an idea instead?

I only play as the blue team, so naturally I have begun separating myself from the other two. I have been referring to the green team as “boogers” and the red team as “cherries”. What are your thoughts on how to improve the friendly banter between teams?
\sorry the first post was removed*

Like I've seen a lot of people say class levels will be wiped I think a dev also said something like that but it was rather vague while the community manager on steam said only cash is wiped not XP as the progression is very long

Does any of you guys know if levels and xp are wiped

Is the only friction after a wipe to pay the unlock fee or unlock fee and hit that level for that class again

Would be nice to have more options as a Pilot.
Hope they will add the MI-171 at some Point.

Did anyone here by any chance launch the game on a steam machine?

I didn’t get to play in the beta at the weekend, as someone running just a steam machine nowadays for their PC gaming I’d like to know if this game will run at all well on it?

I know someone got it running on the steam deck on YouTube (albeit at very compromised settings!) and the devs have said they are adding support for proton / Linux OS, so my question is more about performance than whether it’ll actually launch.

I’d be playing on a 3440X1440p monitor, but would be happy to run in windowed (1080p etc) mode if it means I’ll get 60fps at a good graphics level still, but ideally I’d play full screen

If it’s a disaster on the steam machine, then I may have to wait for the console release when the game reaches 1.0!

I hope one day they actually bring some lore or atleast background for the factions. Like Lonestar is an American merc group, Valkyrie is maybe mix of Russian and Chinese, many core is a mix of European.

And then they can make one very high level gun or equipment only exclusive for each faction.

But this can be much much later. When 1.0 hits

Guys. We are on an internet forum. People will discuss their good and bad opinions/takes. Theres alot of possibility with this game and its engaging and fun to imagine different possibilities.

It’s mostly all in good spirit. We all like the game.

Now that the beta has been announced, what do we think the "Huge Announcement" will be? I'm hoping that they are upping player count to 120. Maybe that will be part of the stress test.

Hey r/WarDogs,

With Early Access dropping Sept 10, I put together a quick tool to help figure out loadouts: https://wardogscalc.com/. Punch in a weapon/armor combo and it spits out shots-to-kill and time-to-kill so you can compare guns without doing the math yourself mid-match.

It's a personal project, not official, and it's still rough around the edges — I'd rather find the bugs and bad numbers now than after launch. If you have a minute:

• Does anything look off or miscalculated?
• Any weapons/attachments/armor types I should prioritize adding?
• What would actually make this useful to you as a player?

Drop suggestions in the comments or just roast the UI, I'll take it. Trying to get this solid before the 10th.

Was just watching Peanuts. He kills a guy for $3500. Few seconds later, gets another kill for $4000. Then a third for £4500. Fourth at the same reward. Then $5000 for the fifth. Then another for $2750. All in the same building. How does this work?

How To Hunt Tanks In Wardogs - 2:15 onwards.

That's all. It'd bring me a chuckle and some joy in these trying times.

Allow us to build an upgraded door that consumes a small amount of fuel per minute per door that will auto close after a certain amount of time (say 15 or 20 seconds so you can open a door and drive a vehicle through).

It would help keep doors closed in case of some idiot but would be a tangible upgrade that needs constant upkeep and supplies from base.

If you didn’t have fuel it would behave like a normal door.

WarDogs has something genuinely great going for it.

King of the Hill is a perfect example.

It’s a concept that hasn’t really been explored by a huge mainstream audience because historically it has mostly existed through mods and niche communities.

WarDogs has a chance to take that kind of gameplay and build something special around it.

What worries me is seeing the same pattern that has hurt other games: a game gets attention, streamers become the loudest voices in the room, and suddenly development starts revolving around whatever creates hype, clips and short-term engagement.

Please don’t make that mistake with WarDogs.

Streamers can absolutely help a game grow, but they shouldn’t define what the game becomes. Their incentives aren’t necessarily the same as those of the people who will still be playing two or five years from now.

I also really don’t understand the hype around Peanut. His style isn't for me at all, and I find a lot of it pretty cringe.

But more importantly, I don't think any streamer—or their fanbase—should be treated as representing the entire community just because they're loud or have a big following.

Milsim and tactical games especially need to acknowledge their core player base. A lot of those players are older, less hype-driven, don't spend their days arguing on streams or social media, and may not be the most visible part of the community. But they're often the people who stick around.

Listen to streamers, sure. Listen to new players too. But don't forget the dedicated players who actually want WarDogs to remain WarDogs rather than chasing whatever happens to be popular this month.
