TLDW: Foxhole allows the environment to change in ways other games don’t (snow causing direct death, visibility problems, rain causing mud which slows units down etc. ), and also providing options for dealing with these environmental concerns, gives off a realistic war feeling. This in combination with the fact that foxhole allows and requires players to participate in all aspects of fighting a war (material extraction, weapon manufacturing, transport manufacturing, transportation, building of defenses, actual fighting), help provide a feeling of participating in a war that other milsims don’t show.

Admittedly, I feel like this game doesn’t satisfy what people are looking for in a milsim. Foxhole is a top down shooter, while most milsims are over the shoulder 3rd person or 1st person with a huge focus on tactics and execution. Foxhole seems to pull out a bit more, still allowing tactics planning and execution, but overal strategy and logistics are also added into the game.

Yeah he’s just talking about mud having an actual effect. Though right now mud in foxhole is just “avoid the puddles”, it used to be that you’d get muddy almost everywhere so it’s way less painful since the weather rework. Weather doesn’t happen very often though, the worst storm I can remember was a snowstorm that covered maybe 6 hexes for most of a week and most storms are either very light or only last a day or two

That’s apparently a new style of presentation oftentimes done purposefully to give a more ‘real’ or ‘authentic’ view of the presenter due to appearing as a less polished production.

I hate it when they use a lavalier mic and hold it on their hand or tape it to the front of their shirt, leaving the wire hanging…

They’re supposed to be made to be invisible or not noticeable, that’s the whole point! Either clip it on your shirt’s neck, or use a regular mic goddamit!

(Looking at you, Climate Town)

Beats people who have the mic nowhere near their face. 4K video! Sounds like a bathroom.
