Past price for this single outfit and very little in game currency is 20 Euros, i mean if you wanna look like a hobo in the battlefield and over pay a skin that literally no one will look at you and go "Dude cool skin, is that a premium skin?" then go ahead and waste your money.

In my opinion you are just better of spending your money else where, for example i recently bought Red Dead Redemption 2 for less then 20 euros, by this time of me writing this review i got 50 hours spent in game, and i am about half way in the main story, and on top of all that when i am done with singleplayer, i still have multiplayer/coop that i haven't even touched yet..

DISCLAIMER: i got this skin for free on 26 January 2023, but if it was not clear already, i do not recommend the price of 20 Euros for this skin, devs are definitely over charging...

Let me just say that i been playing Wargaming games from 2012-2018 mainly focusing on WoT, but i also tried some Warplanes that was always bad and dead xD and eventually around 2015-2016 when warships first came out i played it for a bit(including open beta), back in the day it was alright game, allot of potential and promises(just like WoT did at the beginning), but knowing all the issues and mechanics of WoT for years and devs refusing to repair/change them, we all knew game was doomed from the start, especially because Warships mechanics is literally copy paste of WoT, only difference is instead of tanks, you got ships, and that's literally it.


Account Progress not Shared
If you are like me and you been playing Wargaming games thru their launcher, if you decided to play their games thru steam, you are forced to start all over again, and worst part is, Steam and Wargaming players can and do meet and see each other in game...


Lack of Customization
WoW being copy paste of WoT mechanics, its very sad they haven't added all of the customizations that WoT has to offer.
There is some customization, like changing the scope, making your minimap bigger, displaying enemy HP all the times and so on... but its not nearly close what WoT offers when it comes to customizations.


Hotkeys is a Mess
The ships special abilities are all mixed up
for example: if you are playing a destroyer, you got Smoke ability that is activated with "T" and you got Engine Boost that is activated with "Y", but if the destroyer does not have the Smoke ability "T", but it has the Engine Boost Ability "Y", in that case the Engine Ability is activated by clicking "T".


Game Grinding
I don't think I need to explain a lot about this, but if you want high tier ships, you'll have to spend many months/years sitting in front of your desk and play thousands of battles, to get them all hehe
Ps. Yes, you can spend real money in order to speed up the progress of ship unlocking, but it comes at a risk, you will have to choose between your wallet or your valuable time.


RNG
Yet again same as WoT, you can easily kill half of the team, deal ridiculous amounts of damage to survivors, and when and if you die, your team mates or in many cases BOTS cannot win, because the game was rigged from the start of the game.


BOTS
Bots were always part of WoW, even back in the days, only difference is there were more people playing back in the days, so bots were less common, but now you encounter bots mainly from tier 1 to 6, but it's not uncommon to see full match of bots at tier 8-10, also one funny thing is, if you go to "coop battles", no matter what tier ships you choose(in my case i choose low tiers from tier 1 to 6), your team will almost always be full with actual real players, even though in those battles you get much less exp, i guess people are just fed up with bad RNG, OP ships while they are trying to enjoy their Potato ship and grind to the higher tier, so they are rather spending double the time playing Coop and not Random Battles :D


Money Hungry Devs
First time i run WoW, i for some reason never got the option to choose my nickname(i was on forums many people complain about this), and because "CoNnEcT" was taken, game decided to automatically rename me to something random, and obviously i contacted customer support to see their reply, after waiting for about 1 week, they told me i had to spend real life money to purchase doubloons(in game currency) and change it with that currency, if that doesn't scream "desperate" for money, then i don't know what does hehe

Tutorial - Tutorial could be made little better, especially when it comes to what each monster do, what exactly storms do and more. But one positive thing is, you got a wiki that as far i can tell is up to date, so its easy to figure out certain things, as long you know what you searching for.

Reset - Every 90 days is little bit to fast for a full wipe of all characters and their progress, for a normal person that has life, family, job, in order to achieve and finish all the quests(or most of them) and see everything there is that the game offers, you need months, especially if you play couple hours a day. unless you are a sweaty try hard gamer, with no outside life, and you able to spend each day 8+ hours playing, then you will explore and finish all the quests in about 2 months max, so in other words this game supports only try hards and no casual players.

NPC - Its not a big deal what i am about to say, but its still interesting to see that a game in 2022, doesn't have NPCs that when they talk, their lips move, even low budget games have some kind of lip movement when NPCs talk.

Match Making - Something needs to be done about this, i understand its Free For All, and kill or be killed, but when you are a newbie and you go into beginner map(there is 3 maps total) still learning the game and navigating, and just as you begin to figure out the game and map layout, you get killed by a try hard with full exotic or legendary gear(4-5 levels higher then your gear), and sadly this happens 8 out of 10 times, there needs to be some kind of balance between Low, Medium and High gear players, and maybe even limiting certain maps or adding some kind of ranking, cause right now player with 2-3k worth of armor and weapons, goes against 1milion geared player, in what universe those this make sense xD Especially cause a player with 1m gear knows the entire map, all its secrets and his gear is OP because it gives additional bonuses and more.
Ps. I am able to buy only lvl 1 and at some NPCs lvl 2 Weapons(white and green) but i am facing enemies that got lvl 4, 5 and 6(Purple, Red and Gold) Weapons, and obviously that same goes for Gear and Equipment as well.

Sounds - In this game you can hear footsteps and noises that players make almost half a map away, really weird and OP if you decide to hunt players.

Animation Emotes - There is certain animations and Emotes that give you advantage, for example if you sit down with animation, you can third person from far away, so you can just sit in a bush, wait, and ambush a player passing by.

Cheaters - Its understandable that Games that are more popular, have more cheaters, especially if that popular game is F2P, but that is not a reason for developers to ignore this cheaters and let them roam freely for weeks/months, its obvious that this game doesn't have any anti cheat, or if it has, its a very bad one, ill link you only 2 out of hundred videos on Youtube, where a player openly admits and even shows that they are cheating, and if you go search for their usernames, they still play to this day and obviously still use the programs in case you were wondering :)
ps. there is even couple streamers that openly show them self using the cheat programs live on stream, and they don't get banned, here is just one Youtube video out of many:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DM_lCswNEg&ab_channel=D9rk

Lobbies - This is a first game even that i noticed if you are in a squad with 1 or 2 players, you are never in a same Lobby like in other games, you are always in different lobbies, this a huge missed opportunity and i cant think of a single reason why Devs choose to do this.

Empty Matches - For some strange reason, its very common for you to be sent into a empty matches and encounter no one, it is good for looting and doing quests obviously, but still i don't think Devs did this on purpose.

Adding People in Your Friend List Issue - Adding new people to your friend list a big hassle, if you in a same squad with someone, you cannot see or even add them, if you wanna add them separate you need to know their names and numbers that game randomly generates, you cannot add someone just by searching their name...

Buying Items From NPCs - Purchasing any items from NPCs is very poorly made, when ever you purchase something, it gets sent into your stash and not your inventory, and like 99% of players in this game, your stash is always full, or if its not, you got 1 or 2 slots free, so what you end up doing is, either pulling out something from a stash, so you can buy all the loot you need in 1 go, or you buy 1 item, then open stash, pull it out, then buy an item again, then into stash pull it out, and 10+ times like that...

Option to PVE - Some people said that the Devs never plan to do this, but if that is true, they are missing on a huge opportunity here, because the game is beautiful, well made for a smaller dev team, and also coding the game from PVP into PVE is easier, less bugs and scripts, this needs to be really considered, because with current state of the game and me already mentioning all the issues above regarding Cheaters and Match Making, with PVE you would eliminate those issues for players that are here to explore and be casual, especially because this game can easily offer 100+ hours just for you to upgrade your whole stash, do all quests, and explore everything that the game offers.
PS. I got plenty of ideas and suggestions how PVE can work, without killing the PVP, for example you can make all maps, or maybe even 1 or 2 out of 3 maps PVP like it is now, but also add the option for some of them to be only PVE, so a player can always choose. and on PVE you can make for players to see other players but unable to kill them, or make then unable to see other players, again that is up to the Devs to choose how exactly it would work. but then whoever plays PVE, they would eventually need to go PVP in order to obtain certain items that are unavailable in PVE, so you would kinda force them to play PVP for those items, Which in my eyes is OK, that way you wont really kill the PVP like many PVP players claim it would. you could even decrease the loot spawned on PVE and like i said above, add the option to see other players, so you would compete for loot and maybe even add more Monsters so bigger threat of AI and so on...
unlimited ideas how you can make this work, but right now all this players(including me) will either rate this game negative or quit, mainly cause of unfair matchmaking, but if you added some kind of PVE thing and balanced the Match Making, player would stay and automatically had more options to do in game and how they wanna play, and i guarantee game would go from Mixed reviews(almost Negative) to Mostly Positive or even pure positive.

Extracts Being Camped HARD - Extracts but even Certain points of map are 24/7 camped, it would be nice if there was a maybe option to choose to play a match with time limit, or something, just so people stop camping important sites and extracts for hours.

Toxic Community - This game really had issues with toxic players and their bad behavior, just to go to steam discussions and even better discord chat, and you'll see allot of toxic, verbal abuse even racists stuff being said, i see about 20+ moderators and admins on discord every day being active, but no one monitors any communication, and that is leading players to believe that they can do the same in game, and they actually do it, because no punishment is don't to prevent this.

This video is one of couple that just shows how Moderators and Devs treat players, no matter if you are partnered with them or not:

Let me just say A.V.A is one of the games i spent my childhood playing and i used to play it when it was under "IJJI" developers, after that i played it when it was under "Aeriel Games", but surprisingly when "Red Duck" developers had it, i haven't touched it and long story short, they closed A.V.A Dog Tag not even 1 month later.

Even though i really like A.V.A especially back in the days, i do still recommend this game, but biggest reason for Negative Review is, devs had more then 1 years(if i am not mistaken) to get this game in shape and release it to us in USA and EU, because they already been running this game in Asia for 1 or 2 years, but instead they released it unfinished, full of bugs and mistakes that clearly no one tested, and all they had to do is copy paste the Asian version of the game, translate the dialogs and that is all...


ACHIEVEMENTS - This devs are clear trolls when it comes to achievements, there are some ridiculous achievements, and 3 of them are as follows:
1. Total 3,000 hours of play time - its self explanatory, spend your life playing this game, that will probably die off in couple months and you'll be stuck with this achievement forever.
2. Participation for 1000 consecutive days / Checked when exiting the battle - This means you have to run the game every single day and play at least 1 match, that means for next 2 full years, 8 months, 3 weeks and 5 days you are not allowed to go on vacation unless you bring a laptop with you that is able to run A.V.A, work business travel day, not even your PC is allowed to break for 1 days, pretty much a impossible achievements.
3. Joined actual combat after returning from leave longer than 1 month - This one is my favorite, the achievement above is asking you to play for almost 3 years, but this one is actually asking you to STOP playing for a month, come back into game and play a match xD its clear that devs have no high expectations for this game, and instead they are just trolling with this game...

QUICK SCOPE - I was never a fan of you being able to quickly equip a sniper, right click and shot all that in less then 1 second, i always thought there should be some penalty/delay for changing weapons and also scoping in and out and quickly shooting, but sadly this devs didn't change anything regarding quick scope.

MONEY - Money earning in this game is broken atm, you spend about 1000-2000 Euros on equipment maintenance, but only get about 400-700 Euros per win, and 100-300 Euros per lose, and you do get a single capsule every 20-30 minutes after you complete a match, and in side you get from 100 to 900 Euros, but in average you will get about 300 Euros max 400 Euros per capsule.

MISSIONS REWARDS - You can choose one of the 3 available mods to get rewards by playing the ones you choose, that would be great if this worked, i choose Demolition but instead got Annihilation.
Video of This Bug

COMMUNITY - Players are semi OK, there are many friendly ones, but there are even more toxic ones that like to trash talk in "ALL" chat, and will do anything for attention, there is a reason why many games decide to turn off "ALL" chat, but so far A.V.A is not one of them.

PING - Ping is semi issue, some times its great, other times its bad, make sure you choose a server you are on(for me EU) but be aware that some server will have less population, meaning longer waiting time for a match.
Example of High Ping

MATCHMAKING - I played 7 games, and all 7 are a Defeat, obviously its my luck, after those 7 defeats, i started to win a little(currently its 6 wins 11 defeats), but even during those 7 defeats i was easy doing 2:1, some times even 3:1 K/D ration, but when game gives you bad team, you cant do all the work, reason i am mentioning this, devs should have really worked on something to prevent this, because if a new player joins, plays for 2 hours like i did and gets 7 defeats in a row, not sure if they will stay and play, but that is maybe just my thinking.
Screenshot of 0 Victories - 7 Defeats
Screenshot of just 1 battle out of 7 that i lost(ps we lost this one as well)

GRAPHICS - I play on highest graphics possible and sadly as far i can tell, they haven't really improved that much over the years, and its really sad because it changed 3 developers over 15 years and no one worked to make the graphics better.

CENSORSHIP - Game censors almost everything, and worst part is, it censors random things that don't mean anything in English such: "nip" , "pt" "meo, "pis" , "cu", in total there is about 100+ random censorships that devs of this game think are offensive, but in reality they aren't like you can tell your self, even my name is considered offensive(CoNnEcT the "con" in my name is offensive), there for i was forced to choose a different name, even though i been using this nickname for about 16+ years now, all over the internet but also many other Asian games, only this game and developers consider my name offensive, and on top of that, when the game was owned by IJJI(back in the day), my name was not considered offensive, so only this devs think my name is offensive.
My name shown as offensive

P2W - Current devs brought what they promised, they removed all P2W features of this game, but at the same time they removed progression, for example back in the day if you wanted a certain gun, you had to grind the levels, then the money, and once you reached both, you would buy a weapon and fill accomplished, but now, when you first log in into game, you get 100k to spend and buy anything you want, it pretty much turned into CS:GO, only difference is you equip the weapon before every match.

LOOTING - You can pick up any weapon that you like from the ground, especially if it has a cool skin, but when a new match starts, you lose that weapon, kind of sad about that one.

INVALID SHOTS - Sadly this dev, just like the other devs before them are not able to fix the known bug where you and the enemy shot at the same exact second and you actually hear his gun going off as well as your gun goes off, but also you hear you get hit and him get hit, but your shot doesn't register but his does and you end up dead on the ground.

RELOAD - Some times if you shot your whole mag, and you click reload, you consume 1 extra bullet, for example you got 30/60 bullets, you reload at 0/60, but when it reloads its 30/29 and next time you reload is 28/0.
Reload Bug

SQUADS - You are not able to play with full 5 people squad and find matches, instead its giving you some random error messages, in mean time i found out you can play only squad of 4 in random casual matches, but squad of 5 you will only be able to play once Arena comes out.

HACKERS - Hackers use and promote their free hacks in game chats and clearly use them without anti cheat detecting anything.

SMOKE - Smoke grenades are ineffective, you are able to see enemy nicknames when you hover with your crosshair on them, and that works thru smoke, but there is also a setting you can "lower" in your graphics card that will allow you to see thru smoke, apparently it is bannable, but only if you get reported ALLOT.

2 other bugs i found in mean time, not even 10 hours after game got released:
Infinite Loading Screen - only way to fix it is Alt+F4
Spectator Aim Bug

BEFORE YOU READ
Let me just say that i am a fan of World of Tanks from way back 2012(game got released 2010), i pretty much spent my childhood playing this game and meet great and amazing people in that time period both in game but also IRL, we even had meetups IRL back in the time when that was not really common to meet with people that you meet in games cause "stranger danger and all that shenanigans"

REASON FOR NEGATIVE REVIEW
I have officially quit this game in 2018 after spending couple hundred euros on premium accounts and tanks, i do not regret my purchases, but what i do regret is, Steam is asking you to create a brand new account from something that you already have and own and forcing you to start over, i have more then 30k battles, a battle on average takes around 6-8 minutes from start to finish, and 1 X(Tier 10) takes about 1k battles with premium account to unlock from tier 1 to tier 10, now you calculated how long i spent in this game...

CONCLUSION
As a fan of Steam and buying and playing games thru steam when ever i can, this is just insulting, forcing me to start from 0, i could just keep playing thru Wargaming launcher and have my old account, but i wanted to come back into the game after more then 5 years break and play it thru steam.

WHY I QUIT WoT
Originally i quit because WoT started to make no sense, they were starting to add way to many new nations with 0 originality between them, adding consumables that are overpowered and pretty much P2W, and even going so far to go against their words in selling a special 1 time offer tank and stating "its once in a life time you will be able to buy this tank, we will never again sell it", then literally 1 month later you see same tank being sold or even better, they change the visuals of a tank but when you check the statistics, its same armor thickness, gun, speed, reload, everything same, except its in a different tank visually or maybe even a different nation, but thats about it...
Ill also add that the game has been slowly dying for the past couple years because back in the day, for duration of me playing this game, servers were over populated, with having easy 100,000 players per server, but on weekends those numbers reaching easy 200,000 players and in result, you would feel lag, and now add the P2W, over powered consumables, adding way to many "new" tanks with almost no difference to already existing tanks, devs being to cheap to add another server to decrease lag or upgrading their existing servers, and then on top of that going against their own words regarding "limited, once in a life time offfers", it was pretty much a result for disaster and game dying off slowly.
Ps. WoT this days has barely 50,000 people online on both servers, i cant say about weekends, but lets be honest, it cant be that much like back in the day.

NOTE
if you like tanks, and have allot of time on your hand and dont know what to do, this game is still recommended, especially if you got a Thick wallet :)

POSITIVE
Leveling System and research - Its a battle royal, but you can research item that you can craft in game.

No perm death - As long 1 of your team mates is alive, you wait 60 seconds and you respawn close to them, all you lose is half data that you collected, but you keep all the weapons and gear.

Banks - They are used to store the Data collected, sadly they dont always appear, and if they do, they appear very early on in the game when literally no one even uses them.

No fall damage - Very common in battle royal games this days, but still worth mentioning.

NEGATIVE
Match Making is broken - You are playing with Newbies but also with PRO players that are lvl 100 and have researched everything, know the map and all their secrets.

Match Making Queue Time - Waiting for a match some times can take minutes, or in couple occasions even up to 10 minutes, in that case you have to cancel match search and search again and hope it will find you a quicker match.
I just feel bad for those that did not realize they can do that.

Limited Characters - There are total of 7 characters, 4 of them you have to buy with real money, and some of them are very OP if used right and by experienced players, you do get about 800 free chips by doing certain daily tasks and missions, but after you reach 800 chips limit, you can do as many quests you want, game will not let you earn any more, in other words if you want one of those 4 characters, you will have to spend real money on it and with those characters, game becomes P2W if like i said, used by experienced player.
PS: A single character costs 1150 chips, in current stage of the game if you spend about 50 euros, you will be able to buy all 4, but lets be honest, its just matter of time when they will add even more characters and you will be forced to spend even more money to buy them.

Team Matchmaking - Teaming with randoms is a disaster waiting to happen, every team member goes their way, no teamwork at all, most dont even communicate with you, and even if they do, you always lose against a team that is using a third voice communication and actually works together.

Enemy Campers - Enemies tend to camp spawn zones, higher valued targets and most common is in side a shuttle, waiting for you to open the gate of the escape shuttle so they can kill you and steal all the data you collected, its a fair game in a way cause its pvp, but still kinda lame in a way.
TIP: No matter if you top player/team or bottom, wait for the escape shuttle to arrive, wait for the timer to hit last couple seconds, make your way into the shuttle(before the timer hits 0), when the timer runs out and you are in the shuttle, game considers that you escaped, and in a way you just won the round cause you got out of there alive and there for you get higher rewards. Enjoy.

No Option to Solo or Duo - You cannot play solo or duo, you are forced to play always in 3 man teams, and many times you play with brand new players that have no clue what they are doing, and in this game unless you all work together, you aint gonna win, because its not like many other battle royal games where you boost your self in a second or 1 shot head shot.

CONCLUSION
Only real different thing about this game is the part that your goal is not to have the most kills, its to have the most data when the escape ship arrives and to be in it, otherwise all the effort you put and the squads you wiped does not matter, but in case you or your team is not first, you do still win in way, as long you make it into escape shuttle before the timer runs out.

Hello reader, sadly i cannot recommend this game, for 1 reason only. and the reason is: cannot play it...
Now you are wondering to your self WHAT KIND OF POTATO PC YOU GOT?????
Well let me tell you kind sir, it seems like i got to good of a pc for this game(check under "Ps" what i mean by this), i believe that is causing issues, i googled the issue and seems like "stuttering/lag = crash" exist from the day it released and developers never fixed it...

Solutions: i tried pretty much everything i could find, run it thru AMD graphic app, turn off directx 11, run it in windows mode, verify files, turn off steam cloud save, turn on/off vsync, run it lowest/highest graphics, checked if there is new update for graphic or windows.
If you are reading this and have the same issue, try the solutions i wrote above, maybe you get lucky, sadly i didnt.

My specs: POWERCOLOR Radeon RX6800XT Red Dragon, Procesor: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X. 32 Ram, Win 10 pro.
NOTE i read on multiple forums and posts that the game was originally optimized to work the best with AMD graphic cards, and most users that have issues with this game are NVIDIA, but i guess that changed hehe

Ps. if you are wondering, this is not the first or last game i have issues with, i built my new pc for pure reason because i wanted to be able to play everything and anything, but i found out that you can actually have to good of a pc, and there for you cannot play some game, like for example GTA V, i had to put everything in ultra in order for me to lower my fps to 80-100, otherwise it stutters and lags all the time, and is unplayable xD.
Pps. for the record, while loading the game i got amazing 2000-3000 fps haha, with vsync turned ON 100-200, without 300-400.

This is a NEGATIVE review, there for ill write all the negative things, but if you are looking for a positive review, there are plenty of them, so don't waste your time and move one. Thank you.


-Missing textures - The map has allot of missing textures, roads and even buildings that you can see the world thru them, also thru some you can walk, just don't try to walk on invisible roads because you'll fall thru the map.

-Missing locations - There are plenty of places where you cannot go, and there is a sign that says "early alpha", but the game is selling like its a "full release" on steam. One interesting fact about this game is, you can download the game from other sites and get a full release of the game where some of the mentioned bugs are fixed, but also the "early alpha" areas are open to drive thru.

-Shopping - if you decide you wanna purchase more then 1 wheel at the time, the second or even third wheel will either glitch or fly out, and you will not be able to pick it up, but you will be still charged for the amount of wheels you placed in.

-No option to repair - Broken windows and dent body parts cannot be repaired, do i need to go in details with this one?.

-Bugged popup messages - If the uncle says something to you, and you crash(even bump the car on uneven terrain), the message will disappear and many times not reappear, that will lead you to not being able to open the door or do anything in the car, or in worst cases(like mine), you will not be able to give papers at border, check in into the motel, buy stuff for your car to repair and so on... and you'll gotta restart and lose all the progress you made(sometime even 30 minutes to even 1 hour of your life) it all depends on how big of a trip it was and how many obstacles you encountered.

-Many texts cannot be read - For some strange reason many of the in game words and letters are placed very close to each other, even over lapsing in many cases and there for you are having a hard time to read what it is actually written.

-Missing many settings - there is no setting for music volume, brightness control, graphics and much more, the game is created in 2016, but the in game content is based n around 1960, there for i think they fill like they are not obligated to add those things, i am surprised there is even checkpoints and save button for a such antique game...


CONCLUSION
The game had a promising start, and great idea how to make it, it even had a certain popularity among streamers and youtubers. but like many small developer teams, "they bite more than they could chew" and they abandoned their project.


MY SUGGESTION
The game is not worth the full price and i strongly recommend waiting for 80% off.

This is a honest and detailed review about this game and my personal opinion that most foxhole veterans think and feel.
Also as a foxhole veteran my self and player that has been playing this game from BETA, i still recommend this game and come back after couple of months of taking a break. but i just had to write this review in hopes that one day devs will improve couple if not all of the things i mentioned but many more that i didnt mention but every player will encounter them once they start playing.


POSITIVE
There are many positive things about this game, but ill mention only 2 that i feel are most important because i am doing a negative review and there are already many positive reviews you can read.
1.Regular updates and game improvements - Every couple months there is something new/different/changed, and its worth coming back and checking it out for couple of hours and then again taking a break for couple of months.
2.Everything is player controlled - Meaning you want something done, you gotta ask someone to do it or do it yourself. and yes, EVERYTHING IS PLAYER CONTROLLED, defenses, outposts, town halls, city defense building, bridges, vehicles and fuel for them. i am just waiting for a moment when they will make us repair roads, paint buildings and even implement a food and drink system, so youll no more need to go play farming simulator and instead can do farming stuff and supply food to real players. after all, this game offers everything and you can be anything you want: Medic, builder, miner, driver, engineer, architect, even roleplayer that can take enemy players prisoners, but of course you gotta find an enemy willing to roleplay.



NEGATIVE
-Corner shooting - 1. With rifles you can see further when corner aiming(i believe about 40-50% more).
2. Big size monitor give you extra 10-20% view distance boost that honestly doesnt sound much, but trust me, its ALLOT in this game.
3. If you add all that and go to a hill, youll gain about 30-50% more view range. so there is no surprise if you see a player base/outpost that your friendly team decided to just go around it and ignore it the entire war.

-Logistics is fun idea but badly done - There are 20+ regions and you gotta drive and teleport in each one to come to the front line. on top of that, front lines sometimes have 10+ queued players and you gotta wait till a spot becomes free, the more players the longer queue, sometimes even 20-30+ minutes of waiting.

-Day night cycle - Entire cycle is 60 minute long, meaning 30 minutes day and 30 minutes night. at night you cant do anything(especially if you in a vehicle because enemies can see your car headlights at all times, but you cannot see them unless they come in range of them being able to throw a anti vehicle grenade and you are GONE), the night should be reduced to 10-15 minutes, because right now, as soon night falls you go afk, unless there is some special "spec ops" mission that you and your friends/clan doing, but those are very rare moments.

-Ranking system - Each war big groups of 20-50+ people switch sides and war is always won if you follow what side they join and fight along side with them. you may think "well 1 or 2 groups is nothing compared to thousand of players" and you are right, but when 10+ groups of 20-50+ members change war sides, and all of them are veterans or at least know what they are doing. well you do the math.

-Leveling system - Levels dont really give you any benefits or advantages, but its always nice to see when someone is a high level, in most games it means that player knows what he is doing. but sadly in this game high rank/level only means you are saving those leveling points to trade them with your friends/clan mates and other way around.

-Player system - If you plan to go afk for short or even longer time(for example go sleep), just hide somewhere and leave your game ON, the next day youll find yourself still in game and ready to go(unless someone killed you and you went to main home page). many players do this because they are to lazy to wait to load into a game and wait for very long queues.

-Steam names and road signs - There are many players that take advantage of this, because its very easy to set your steam name and that name shows in game, and there isnt anything you can do about it, even devs dont care cause there is no "report" system that you can report that.
Second thing is the signs that anyone can build anywhere on the map, you build a nice sign that says something nice, 2-3 people upvote it, then you change that sign into something very bad/rude/rac!st and not even 100 players that downvote it cannot destroy it.

-No anticheat - This game doesnt really need an anticheat because even if you had aimbot, the aiming/shooting mechanic is so "Broken" that even aimbot would not help you to hit the target xD also second thing is you cannot even see a player name that killed you(unless you are downed and enemy player comes in melee range), and in order to report him you gotta know what he is using, what cheat and on top of all that video evidence of him committing what you state he is doing wrong. so there is not much point of going thru all that trouble.



CONCLUSION
All the things written in this review(and many more) have been mentioned before and even discussed with devs in multiple occasions. but nothing has been done about many of this things and no plans on changing them. even devs them self said couple of this things i mentioned will never be changed/improved. or one of their popular quotes they like to say is "thats not our priority". if "Unbalanced teams", "Tedious logistics", "Ghost shots" and most important "Corner aiming" is not a priority. then i dont know what is. but we are still left with a hope they will maybe one day think about improving/changing how some of this things work or think about them if/when they decide to create foxhole 2 or a similar project.

this game has been on my radar from 2017 when i first found out about it, from then i watched many youtube videos and it seemed interesting and fun, but not enough to pay full price, finally in 2019 it was 10 euros and i decided to give it a try and i regret it, barely made it 30 minutes before i decided to refund it and agree with the "mixed" reviews on the following:

-bad controls
-tutorial is to long
-creatures all they do is walk around and make noises...
-barely 20 hours of gameplay
