Siege Camp will release Update 66 for Foxhole on Tuesday, August 18th, headlined by a redesigned Weather Station network that lets a connected pair forecast storms in distant regions before they arrive. The patch also adds two new aircraft, squad-level refinery storage, ammo tracking on the HUD, and targeted anti-cheat improvements. Below — every confirmed change and what it means for players still adjusting to the Airborne meta.
Siege Camp’s Update 66 Brings Weather Forecasting and New Aircraft to Foxhole
What Update 66 Adds: Weather, Aircraft, and Quality-of-Life Fixes
The core system change is the Weather Station overhaul. Link two stations together and the network gradually reveals an approaching storm’s type, duration, peak intensity, and footprint in a far-off region — a confirmed forecast gets pinned to the map for your whole faction until the storm passes.
- Weather Station networking: two connected stations can now track and progressively reveal storms outside their own region, with successful predictions shown faction-wide on the map.
- State of the War Tent: war starting conditions are now checkable in-game during the Resistance Phase, replacing third-party app announcements.
- Refinery Squad storage: squadmates can now pool output at refineries and pull from shared storage freely.
- Ammo visibility: infantry weapons show an ammo-type icon, and equipped weapons plus medic items display remaining ammo directly on the HUD.
- Keybind modifiers: Shift, Alt, and Ctrl are now supported, and the gate keybind opens bulkhead doors on large ships.
- New aircraft: the Warden Rinnspeir Mk. I Zealot gets a bomb-bay-style tail door, enlarged side doors, new wings, and new engines; the Colonial Daimon aK-5 «Harpy» heavy fighter packs four anti-tank rifles and a rotating twin MG turret, trading maneuverability for firepower and fuel range.
- Coastal Guns: now fire on large ships at a reduced rate while keeping their role as a small-ship deterrent.
- Anti-cheat: Update 66 ships targeted improvements, with more anti-cheat work and an expanded moderation team planned for Update 67.
Why This Matters: Context for the Weather and Air Changes
Update 66 is the second minor patch in Siege Camp’s six-week cycle since the Airborne update put planes over the battlefield, and the studio is sticking to refinement rather than reinvention. According to the community missive on the official site, Update 67 will keep polishing existing systems, Update 68 closes out the year with new content, and a 2027 roadmap of minor and major updates is already taking shape. Players tracking air combat balance in other military multiplayer titles may recognize the pattern from recent overhauls covered in the War Thunder Heavy Cavalry update, where aerial mechanics got similar iterative attention.
What This Means for Foxhole Players
Logi and intel players should start scouting Weather Station placement now — a two-station network only pays off if both ends are staffed and maintained, so coordinate with your regiment before the patch drops. Pilots flying Wardens will want to test the redesigned Zealot’s faster drop doors for paratrooper runs, while Colonial pilots should treat the Harpy as a long-range escort rather than a dogfighter given its lower maneuverability. Infantry and squad leaders get the clearest quality-of-life win: pooled refinery storage and on-HUD ammo tracking cut down on inventory-checking mid-firefight, so update your squad’s supply routines once the patch lands. Anyone frustrated by cheaters should also watch patch notes for Update 67, where Siege Camp says more anti-cheat work and moderation expansion are already planned.
