Does it have stats?

[Shemiroth]

Does the game keep track of your kills etc?

Are there ranks?

[Zanlam]

Nope!
You have the absolute WORST ranking system possible, and it's based on commendations by other players.
You unlock nothing except the ability to create squads and to place markers + create operations.

I have asked so many times for some sort of progression system (even based completely just on menus and achievments + kill death stats) but nope, apparently the progression in this game is just "getting better" the more you play.
All games are like this.

If you are looking for a game that places emphasis on player progression, move on, I'm afraid the devs are unwilling to help us out on this front.

No stats. There's both "ranks" and "level", neither of which changes the gameplay.

You level up automatically by "doing stuff". Mining scrap, dealing damage, etc.
Ranks are gained if other players commend you.

If you consider that "worst", then you're lacking imagination, and are very, very, optimistic.

So... "progression is just player-progression" but the game doesn't "emphasise on player-progression". Makes sense.

sad. Every game should have a kill-tracker atleast.

I hate ethis ranking system because big clans just spam commend eachother while solo players barely ever get rewarded for their work.

It has nothing to do with optimism.

by player progression I ment a good leveling + reward system to keep players playing in the long term.
This is different to the normal "you get better as you play" argument. These 2 things have nothing to do with eachother yet people on these forums kept drawing comparisons between them when I posted about this.

Well, if you think that commends don't matter, just look at the level. And seriously, show me the system that uses commends and isn't being abused by clans/friends.

If you seriously think that leveling keeps people playing in the long term, then your "long term" is my "casual game".

[TotallynotaBot]

There is no kill tracker because kills don't mean alot in foxhole.

Does every game need to be an e-peen measuring ♥♥♥♥ fest with progession systems that are there because cod did it?

I can't, because I don't know of any other games that uses such a moronic system.

"If you seriously think that leveling keeps people playing in the long term, then your "long term" is my "casual game" "

Well then it could be seen as subjective, but what's undeniable is the success of games like Heroes and Generals in the regard of progression, where many players just keep playing to unlock more things to do. I have met people who play games with the solo objective of trying to keep their KD as high as possible seeing as this gives them a sense of challenge (CS:GO or PUBG for example) Furthermore you have MANY role playing games that place huge emphasis on leveling and unlocking stuff.

Now I'm not saying that Foxhole should lock things behind an XP bar, I'm saying the game needs stats, a better way to progress and a reason to keep playing beyond "improving your skill level."

The fact that you find this concept (that is so commonly used in so many video games) so hard to understand is absolutely baffling to me.

If i remember correctly the DEV's did say in some dev stream that they will add this in the future,like how much you farmed /build/cooked/killed etc,but it has no priorty

Well, just think about what the community would be thinking if they choose to spend a month and an update trying to implement something like a kill counter and other stats over not fixing other gamebreaking bugs (i.e reload bug, etc.), or map reworks to help prevent exploits and promote better gameplay experiences. Sure, there are people that want it, but it's all about priority, and things change as bugs and other problems suddenly become apparent.

I would like to see some sort of kills and stat tracker, even if it was just an expanded leaderboard on the post war momuments in the future (imo to help make logi and scrappers become more popular), but I don't think it should be something they take priority over everything else. It's been stated that it's been discussed, and they haven't said no, so just give it time. If it deserves a place in the game, I'm sure it'll happen.

Why? Someone gonna look at your stats and think you are a good player? This isn't the airforce with aces and all that crap

[Shemiroth]

A military game should have ranks, medals etc

which should be given out based on how much you do for the war effort not based on how many friends give you a thumbs up.

I agree with Trooper909 and JollyRancher. Things like a kill tracker might also destroy the teamplay, since people would care more for their own stats than healing other players for example. The idea of getting ranks through the commendations from other players is actually quite nice (or at least the thought behind it). But I also agree that this system needs a lot of improvements since it tends to be more a popularity contest.

@Shemiroth The game does not contain individual stats (kill track, k/d ratio, etc... ), but there used to be a war report that will likely return in the future, that showed many details about the war itself.
