The fact that Charlie collies ended the war by launching a landing and taking 7 towns in 1 night is exactly why the devs wanted to end the war early.

You have hundreds of players who could absolutely push the war and end it at any point intentionally not doing so in order to either prolong late war tech or prevent Charlie from being closed down to rebalance pop.

That should be fine and whatever, it’s a sandbox game and people should play however they want. But it’s also blocking thousands of new players from experiencing the full version of foxhole just to preserve a small window of what foxhole offers.

The best part of foxhole is that there is no single meta to how you should play the game. Yes things like building are limited and players have figured out how to optimize it, but combat is a limitlessly evolving meta that changes as the war develops and new tech unlocks. Then they get to try it again the next war, or try something different from what happened last war. Day 2 combat is miles different from day 32 combat and that’s a good thing.

Trapping thousands of new players who just want to try something new in the late game hell hole that is arty spam and infinite tank lines is shitty, and forever wars are a terrible concept for foxhole.
