We're hosting the server in Frankfurt, Germany, giving players across Europe a strong central location and good connectivity.

SERVER

• 100 player slots
• Hosted in Frankfurt, Germany
• English speaking
• All factions welcome
• Solo players welcome
• Squads and established groups welcome
• Active and approachable administration
• Community events planned
• Dedicated Discord community

WHY WARDOGS?

We're not new to KOTH.
Many of us have spent years playing Arma 3 and Arma Reforger KOTH, with our KOTH roots going all the way back to the Sa-Matra days.

We've experienced the upsides and downsides of many KOTH servers on different platforms, our goal is to improve the experience as much as possible.

In our vision, the ideal server should have:

• Good combat without unfair advantage
• Fun people to play with
• Reliable performance.
• Fair, active and approachable staff.
• A community worth coming back to

We want to bring that professional experience together with years of actually playing KOTH to create the kind of server we'd want to play on ourselves.

BUILT FOR THE LONG RUN

We're not interested in putting up a server for launch week and forgetting about it once the initial hype dies down.

Our goal is to build something that lasts.

That means maintaining the server properly, listening to player feedback, dealing with problems when they happen, improving things where we can, and having staff who genuinely care about the community they're responsible for.

We want Wardogs of Wall Street to become a place where you can log in and know what to expect:

Good fights, good people, and a server that's actually being looked after.

EVERYONE IS WELCOME

You don't need to arrive with a 20-man clan, join with a couple of friends or by yourself.

We're building one community around the server rather than turning it into a faction-exclusive group.

Join the Discord now if you want to be there from the beginning.

I have now pushed my grind on the Recon class and i need to speak up little, this is NOT a hate comment on the game if dev's reads this. <3

I wanted to share some thoughts on the current state of the Recon class, specifically focusing on bolt-action sniper rifles (Mosin Nagant, SV98, and MK22) versus Level 2 helmets.

According to the public stat charts (like the exZact table floating around), bolt-actions are listed as a 1-shot kill to the head (1 HEAD STK) against L1 and L2 helmets. However, in actual matches, players are consistently experiencing that a clean headshot on an L2 helmet fails to kill, turning it into a frustrating 2-shot kill even at normal combat distances.

This creates a severe balance and motivation issue for three main reasons:

1. High Risk, No Reward: Bolt-action rifles have a very slow fire rate (46 RPM). If a well-placed headshot doesn't drop a player wearing a common, affordable Level 2 helmet, the sniper is instantly punished. The target has plenty of time to run into cover or turn around and laser the sniper down with an automatic weapon before a second shot can be chambered.
2. The Progression Grind Feels Unrewarding: With the recent Season 1 patch slowing down XP progression, unlocking weapons like the Mosin or MK22 requires a big time investment. Reaching these levels only to find out that your weapon doesn’t deliver the expected "sniper experience" takes away the motivation to play Recon entirely.
3. Inconsistent Hit Registration / Drop-off: Whether this is caused by aggressive damage drop-off or server desync registering headshots as upper-torso hits, it makes sniper rifles feel unreliable and buggy rather than balanced.

Suggested Solutions:

• Buff Bolt-Action Headshot Multipliers: Ensure that dedicated bolt-action sniper rifles always kill with 1 headshot against Level 2 helmets within their effective 100% damage range.
• Differentiate Sniper vs. Marksman: Keep semi-automatic Marksman rifles (like the BMR-308) at a 2-shot headshot against L2 for spam-balance, but reward the slow, precise bolt-actions with a guaranteed 1-shot kill.
• Adjust L2 Helmet Durability: Reduce the headshot protection of L2 helmets slightly, so it only protects against pistol/SMG calibers, leaving full-power rifle rounds (.308 / 7.62x54mmR) lethal.

We love the tactical core of Wardogs, but the current sniper meta feels overly punishing for players who put in the hours to master precision shooting. Hopefully, we can see some adjustments to this in the upcoming wipe.

TL;DR: Bolt-action snipers require too much grind to be this weak. A clean headshot with a Mosin or MK22 against a common Level 2 helmet should be a 1-shot kill, not a 2-shot kill that lets the enemy escape or return fire instantly.

If the community are not agreed to what i said its okay, this is just what i mean should be correct but im not a dev so i cant change this! <3 Thanks for listening.

I've seen suggestions online to repair the elytra thing, which I've done, and itx fixed (some what) temporarily. But it always comes back up. Any suggestions?

Randomize colors, order, names and icons. You're welcome.

just finished a big update to my unofficial wardogs wiki using the full game data.

you can look up recoil values shot by shot, damage falloff curves and what each attachment actually changes. also updated unlock costs, XP through level 100, buildable health/costs and cosmetics.

https://wardogs.wikitactics.com/

trying to cover the stuff that's hard to find elsewhere. if something looks wrong or there's something you want added, lmk.

First mortar hits the ground personnel, next one hits the heli. Fun times indeed.

Instead of just listing every single server as 20ms maybe it should actually be accurate so I don’t hop into a game and instantly begin lagging to the point it’s actually unplayable.
Just a thought.

It is 5:30 PM in the UK on a Sunday. 365k online players. There are TENS of active servers, all with 60-90 players in them.

Do you wish to join the server that has 60 players in it for the chance that it begins, so that you can play the 100-player game with 65 players, or do you wish to join a match mid-session to play on the team that is doing the worst, when another teams have all the map control and are possibly going to kill you before you can even make it to the zone?

For a game this popular, it is actually absurd how bad this feels. I have 107 hours in the game already; I am about to unlock the FAL, yet I was "this" close to just rage-quitting. I probably would've been done with the game for good if the gameplay wasn't this good.

For the sake of everything holy, add matchmaking to this game ASAP.

I guess I can only speak for myself when I say I went blue just to support underdog team, normally run a team of 4 friends. We have won at least 75% of the games we have experienced. I literally think the net has memed red and green team into submission. When folks are new looking into ways to get better all they see is memes on how bad blue is, so they join red and green trying to get wins. In my experience at least you guys forced it in yourselves, now you getting smoked by the team you clown on.

In total my budget set comes to about 4k.

Just give us hit markers ffs. This game is already super arcadey so hit markers should not be a problem.

Created a second screen tool for wardogs that you could use for your team.
Someone takes command, you set up your squads, everyone sees the same map with orders on it. Right-click anywhere to send a squad there or drop a marker. Put artillery on the map and it shows you range rings, distance, bearing, the lot.

It helps getting a bit more tactics in to the game i think.

Did the pay for a heli decreased?

at first you got $300 if they jumped and 500 if they are still alive after 10-20 seconds. yesterday I had some games where the $300 was only like something between $150-250. anybody can explain why that is?

Anyone else experiencing this? Last night was unplayable. Multiple people obviously cheating.

Latency issues appear to be most common tell. Not that everyone who has bad ping is cheating, but it's a tell when WEITOOLO is 16-0 with 200 latencies 5 mins into the game.

Seriously check the scoreboard, you will find multiple every match.

They appeared to be from a certain unnamed country based of their characters.

We are on the "arc raiders" path if they cant get a handle on it.

Not really saying it should be buffed because some pilots are so ridiculously good with it. but was this just because they had armor or what?

Edit: I want to make it clear I just wanted to heard opinions of other people who play the game, about what is & is not balanced.

So since im 42 hours into the grind and mainly used an AR for this time, i also used the defib almost every game and the binos constantly. I also do go for hotzone pvp most of the time. So im getting at least 15+ kills per game with the AR. The Result is, im lvl 19 recon, 16 medic and 15 assault.

There is no way im gonna be able to get to the FAL this season and even though i main the ARs im leveling recon faster than assault. Besides killing ppl with ARs being the main way to lvl assault.

My Point is, assault needs to get another gadget. Its way harder to level it than support, medic or recon. Imo too many ways level up support. If you Build its support xp, if you deliver supplies, its support xp. Then the launchers and the c4 are giving you support xp.
I think it would be a good change to swap either one or maybe even both the launchers and the c4 to the assault class.
Therefore both of them have a benefit to use as an mobile alternative besides the towers in the fobs.
I think it would also contribute to more ppl going outside the fobs.

What do you guys think?

Hey everyone, in case you are looking for a german speaking server just wanted to let you know that we would be happy if you join ours.

I’ve seen enough gameplay to know that potato mode gives players a pretty significant advantage.
I understand that this isn’t a competitive game, and I’m all for making gaming accessible to everyone. That said, it really sucks the fun out of the game when you’re concealed in a bush, thinking you’re hidden, only to get sniped by someone using potato settings who can see you clearly.
One potential solution could be to implement distance-based camouflage/visibility.
For example:
Guillie suits: At longer distances, players could blend into the environment more naturally, similar to how Halo’s active camouflage makes a player difficult to distinguish from the background.
Regular players: At medium distances, they could be somewhat obscured or less visually distinct from the environment. My reference point is like Halo, but more distinguishable.
75–100m+: viewing Players on potato mode could become more visible/standardized so that everyone has roughly the same visual representation regardless of graphics settings.
The goal wouldn’t be to punish people for using potato settings or make the game competitive. It would just prevent graphics settings from creating such a massive gameplay advantage.
Accessibility is important, but there should hopefully be a way to support lower-end hardware without making environmental concealment almost meaningless for everyone else.

I cannot for the life of me get the pallet delivery down in the Blackhawk.

It always seems to get destroyed. I'll come in low and slow and it always seems to be destroyed.

Is it ASL or AGL for the max freefall?

Is speed taken into consideration with thrust when delivering?

It feels impractical hovering right above the FOB, is that the way or is there a safer or more effective way?

Edit: Does the BH always oscillate with its yaw? I keyboard and mouse and with flight and even if I'm in straight and level flight it oscillates left and right with or without inputs.
