When a soldier dies. 1 soldier = 1 manpower

[wind shore]

would you bet 50% of your net worth on being right?

[river rover]

I play squad lead exclusively and only know what it is my job is at that point. I kill, put up OP's, give play by play to my squad, and put up Garrisons and usually take at least one top spot or more each game. 😛

[arctic rampart]

Yeah

[chrome furnace]

You are fantastic content my dude.

[desert owl]

It’s when you’re sent to the KIA screen. Swear

[river rover]

I think my King mattress was like 2 or 4k or more for both it and the box springs.

[past vortex]

depends on role

[desert owl]

2 of the sources I’ve found have said this so far

[arctic rampart]

Really? I kind of doubt it.
Since ik combat score is given based off the role, but don't think manpower is taken away with the same concept

[past vortex]

i think officer and commander cost more

[wind shore]

different roles give different points when you kill them you might confuse it with that

or not

[past vortex]

all easy to test :}

[arctic rampart]

Let's go test it rn?

[wind shore]

id help if i wasnt stuck in my cagie

[arctic rampart]

id help if i wasnt checking matresses out

[past vortex]

testing alone is easiest

on an empty server

[arctic rampart]

nah its bad and might skew results, you never know

Cause redeploy or self nading would count as a TK, maybe the same rules dont apply

Roadmap

[worthy charm]

[arctic rampart]

#mess-hall message

[wind shore]

[azure heath]

it looks like y'all are just a bunch of ansy children, and i'm here for it

[worthy charm]

[queen kettle]

Roadmap in March is wild

Like actually quite funny, they must be trolling

[azure heath]

at this rate, release it with tobruk and call it a rest of the year roadmap

[wind shore]

roadmap seems would be nice

if they delay it

[desert owl]

either way mg42 go brr

[true snow]

Wsg peoples

[queen kettle]

In the meantime I've prepared the roadmap to the 2025 roadmap:

Summer 2024 - Internal 2025 roadmap discussions started in the summer and are ongoing

26/11/2024 - Greg: “Ideally, we’d have already shared the 2025 roadmap this month with you all. Lots of internal discussion still ongoing though.”

28/11/2024 - Greg: “The 2025 roadmap will be public early next year. We're targeting a January release”

29/01/2025 - Greg announces T17 are finalising the 2025 roadmap

11/02/2025 - Ben “The roadmap is coming soon”

17/02/2025 - Ben “At this moment it's looking like a couple of weeks”

[arctic rampart]

I wanted to do the same thing, but was too lazy

Wouldn't be surprised if Sam has one of these made as well, probably double the detail

[wind shore]

30.02.2025 = final roadmap anounce, 02.02.2025 - final release

[azure heath]

i'll give u a cookie if that's right

[mint marlin]

can somebody pls help me with my controls settings on console i'm struggling and i don't know what's best for hitting the most shots

[chrome furnace]

Good aim

[mint marlin]

thanks buddy that's very useful and completely solved my problem

[arctic rampart]

A mouse and keyboard usually helps

[mint marlin]

they aren't usable on console i don't think

[arctic rampart]

Yeah, come to the proper platform. Even the community manager came to PC

[mint marlin]

sorry man i don't got enough money to get an entry level pc 🥲

[arctic rampart]

But you got a ps5?

And can pay to play multiplayer monthly?

[mint marlin]

ps5 is like 500 cheaper than a decent pc

[arctic rampart]

ps5 + 500 isn't an entry level pc anymore

[midnight nacelle]

#console-general-chat You may have better luck with the console crowd.

But honestly it just takes some time.

[mint marlin]

1000 usd is around the price of a pc that performs at a playable fps on most modern releases

[silk igloo]

how much is ps+ for 7 years?

[arctic rampart]

That's debatable highly

[mint marlin]

i consider 50+ fps playable and you need a decent gpu and cpu to get that

[arctic rampart]

I think you'd be surprised how low you can go to reach 50+ fps on low settings. But I can agree to the overall fact that game optimisation is really bad these days

I was playing bf5 on a 1050ti which was in my 350euro pc back in 2018

[proven dagger]

same lmao

[mint marlin]

yea optimization is horrid

[arctic rampart]

And ngl, Build and Shoot formerly known as Ace of Spades is a way better shooter than BF5 lel

[proven dagger]

I only upgraded by PC this year, won't be doing that again for quite a while

[mint marlin]

hell let loose is actually a good example

it makes horrible use of cpu and gpu when it needs it

[arctic rampart]

5 quintillion polygons for a bridge? Sheeeeet, lemme hook you up

[proven dagger]

i went from some wack 1660 to a Radeon RX 7900 XT

[grave shell]

Hey people

Is there any discount for this game on steam?

[proven dagger]

basically every steam sale

[vital trail]

it is but you might as well get it on epic games if you havent yet'

[grave shell]

Like free

[vital trail]

yeah

[grave shell]

Fr?!

[proven dagger]

im pretty sure thats done and over buddy

[grave shell]

Let’s go

[proven dagger]

it was only free like the first week it was on epic. check if you want though

[vital trail]

yeah check but if its not there youre a bit late

[grave shell]

I will need a guide tho

[proven dagger]

nah its not free, that was literally last month lmao

[slate canopy]

The game goes on sale frequently on Steam, steam sale or not.

[proven dagger]

if you want it at a discounted price get it through a trusted key site like Eneba (currently 21.98$) or wait for a steam sale

i'll send you a link privately if you want to see it

[grave shell]

Ok

I will check ep. Games anyways

I see

I will just buy it for the full price cause i don’t want to wait

[proven dagger]

i sent you a link to eneba, consider that if full price bothers you

I buy stuff from there all the time.

do what you want tho

[vale garnet]

Hi can we please remove the filter block so I don’t have to redo the workaround every time I update stuff thanks

[true snow]

Yo anyone wanna hop on in 40 minutes?

[tulip perch]

Yeah, having word filters on a server for a war game is dumb. Obviously certain racial words should be filtered for sure but a lot of them are un needed

[vale garnet]

nvidia filters but sure

[tulip perch]

Oh nah, they need to stay gone

[vale garnet]

they arent gone xd

[real yacht]

The worst decision, which has damaged the player's experience, is having given the game for free on epic games and now I feel very free to say it. Thanks for ruining it.

[true snow]

I’ll be in unit one chat if anyone wants to join up

[prisma bramble]

I haven’t used it for about a year but CDKeys is good for me too

I’ve got Tarkov, red dead and another game from there no problem

How come it ruined it? People are willing to learn when I chat with them

[worthy charm]

Some people are, a lot are not.

It depends in the player.

Nah' it's died down quite a bit, nowhere near the issue it was.

guys why did i get four achievements on steam called "????" when i havent played the game in weeks

[arctic rampart]

Pre-added slots for Tobruk achievs

[white storm]

but why did i earn them for no reason

[finite berry]

[white storm]

[silk igloo]

they should add the dynamic weather to the main menu just so I could observe Neville from 8th army stand in a blizzard in shorts and a rolled up shirt

how to join the server hell let loose !

[cosmic pilot]

Weird sounding kink

[slate canopy]

Click Enlist, find a server with open spots and decent ping... Join

[silk igloo]

you have to admire a unit like that though. he's not shivering at all. unflinching.

would be a funny easter egg if the 8th army guys did shiver on this elsenborn menu. and dak.

[thin lotus]

How about so much fog in the main menu that you can’t see anything and call it an improvement

[scenic wyvern]

Any discord suggestion for someone who want to join game with good coms , commander and team play?

[polar prism]

[covert elbow]

If I need to check the temperature I go stand outside and see how long I last

0-5 seconds = Too ****ing cold
5-10 seconds = Decent weather

no, that's not right

[wind shore]

i think the dynamic fog is a great way to fix broken areas in maps which are too open

on the new map i went up on the tower thingies and when storm came i had to go down cus not enough vision

it make sense

i wish all maps had it

to a degree

[covert elbow]

Oh god no

[worthy charm]

1 Km = 1000 m

[silk igloo]

no such thing as a map too open, as long as the bases are secure

[covert elbow]

The issue is that they used fog as a stop gap for night maps because everyone just turns up their brightness creating unfair advantages

[covert elbow]

why have walls for sector lines when you can build them yourself

99% of S:44’s visual effects are better then HLL’s haha

Elsenborn is not bad also

elsenborn is not good

[wind shore]

The map at all, it’s battle of Bulge

So winter aesthetics

[thin lotus]

Blind your retinas aesthetic

[wind shore]

Definitely top 3 maps : Foy, Stalingrad, Elsenborn

[shadow kraken]

pissed as hell rn. i single handedly take an entire point, clear it of enemies, cap it (don’t have a spotter since mine disconnected) then some dude joins my squad, kicks me out of it and adds his friend to it

[nova pivot]

Carentan??

[wind shore]

Nope 👎

[nova pivot]

😔

[wind shore]

SME it was fun, but it’s too old

[wind shore]

Carentan it’s just simple one trajectory for infantry, before it was expanded , but also after the expansion of Carentan feels predictively

So close map at all

PHL good, SME good, Omaha, Utah - 👎, Carentan - it’s ok, Foy, Elsenborn - fine, Stalingrad and Kharkov it’s fine , Kursk map is too open - 👎, Mortain it’s the best French map

Tobruk and El Alamein it’s too different front, so I don’t know how to compare it

[wind shore]

What’s ur favorite map?

[slate mural]

Scopes are for losers anyway nothing a good pair of eyes and some irons cant do

[finite berry]

based

[thorny acorn]

bro spittin facts

[covert elbow]

Not the point here though haha

[nova pivot]

Kursk,If played properly it is horrible, tanks and mg destroy you constanly. But when you're playing on random servers and no one knows how to dominate the map it's a lot of fun. Everyone's running around the field doing suicide charges.

[wind shore]

It has deep covers like grass, but it regards to LODs distance, and for example for sniper on the wheatmeal will be simple to see the enemies

[stoic garnet]

Nah you been slappin the bag of bad opinion juice fr

[nova pivot]

I like it because it gives you a feeling that the only safe place is the trench and it reminds me a lot of the first world war.

[wind shore]

Yep it has pluses also, Kursk map - it’s for trench warfare as infantry, and tanks vs tanks

But what I’ve noticed, that maps looks more beautiful and like in movies, when they have certain game modes, for Kursk it’s - German offensive, for Elsenborn it’s US offensive when skybox has warm palette , Foy - US offensive when it’s cloudy and foggy, Kharkov - Soviet offensive , when it’s also foggy 🌫️, SME - German offensive, so cool evening vibe , sunset, and also like El Alamein dusk

So , when it’s warfare it’s not good weather variants

To be honest I prefer offensive more

[nova pivot]

Ignoring how bad the Lewis is, what do you think of Driel?

[wind shore]

So open map, British could get like forest Netherlands maps , or expanding in North African campaign

Don’t like Driel

So it’s anyways better for them get battles located in Netherlands forest, or in Dieppe

[nova pivot]

The map is beautiful

[wind shore]

Dieppe cause marines

@nova pivot I have watched about Spaniards in WW2 , they fought near Lida, or smth, did you know that fact that they used flare guns to spot neighbor divisions , and they made first blood before reaching the frontline?

They also had no trucks , to get on the frontline, they were coming just with out any vehicles

Above 2,000 KM

About Spaniards

[nova pivot]

Do you know anything about "la 9" ?

[wind shore]

I can’t remember the name of this video, but it was told about Northern front and Azul mostly

[empty steppe]

They fought with the allies and liberated Paris.

[nova pivot]

we are getting french and norway

Be realistic

[empty steppe]

Ummm

[wind shore]

Found, it’s a small partisan group together with French resistance , was existed in 1943-45

[nova pivot]

Thats it

[empty steppe]

Id be baffled if they added France, and the French would be going up against panthers with the logic HLL has been following

[thorny acorn]

i am

[nova pivot]

That would be cinema

Ft-17 VS panther

[finite berry]

FT-17 wins, no question

[nova pivot]

It would be tight but it is most likely

[empty steppe]

They’ll probably announce an Eastern front map next… if there smart

But don’t count on it too much 😅😂

[nova pivot]

Don't get your hopes up, it's best not to expect anything good.

And if they release something decent at least you'll be happy.

[empty steppe]

With this community nobody’s ever happy so..,

[nova pivot]

😔

[hushed turtle]

Is Tobruk any good?

[wind shore]

Most of new players joined in Epic Games, community in game in general isn’t toxic, in discord yes it’s toxic

[wind shore]

It’s unfinished, we couldn’t even know exactly until the release

[covert elbow]

True!

[nova pivot]

It doesn't look bad

With a little work and love it will surely become a good map.

[wind shore]

All marks on this map could be done after the release, it’s too early to give the final mark on this map

[empty steppe]

I was talking about content wise

You meant , lack of content 2023-2024?

Does anyone else have trouble aiming in hell let loose? Aiming is so much easier to adjust in other games, or it might just my skill issue

[past vortex]

yea

[thorny acorn]

it might be a skill issue

[worthy charm]

Tanks only die by:

• Tanks
• Satchels (basicly dynamite)
• Rocketlauchers
• possibly by an AT Gun (Or AT rifle )
• Mines but the usually dont kill oneshot real tanks

[split lynx]

It feels like whatever movement I make is too much, I loweredthe sensitivity so much

[past vortex]

precision strike
maybe arty/bombing run if the stars align ?

[worthy charm]

Isnt the PS still bugged?

[past vortex]

kills tans for sure

[worthy charm]

And arty/bombing run doesnt kill tanks

[split lynx]

Whenever I use a artillery I manage to get 10 team kills and get kicked, never using it again

[worthy charm]

Got my 150 kills without dying achiement with arty

[nova pivot]

We count the recon as a tank ?

[worthy charm]

was worth it, but kinda boring

[split lynx]

How Tf

doesnt really count

I'll rent a server & make it Remagen 24/7 if that happens

[storm stratus]

Sigh, gotta type this all out again cause i wrote **** instead of shut… google and reddit have mentioned this. When the game shuts down incorrectly it has a chance to default all settings. I had a crashing issue for a while. But its magically fixed itself now.

And that was meant to be a reply to Nosa…

I blame automod

[storm stratus]

Done 😂

[wind shore]

Most of the tanks in WW2 were simply destroying by arty

[normal fjord]

I guarantee new players that play community servers stay playing the game longer and spend more money. It makes no sense to have so many official servers that provide poor moderation

[empty steppe]

Best map in the game?!? I might get back on 😱

[empty steppe]

I play whatever servers got good ping and has like 70 players lol 😂

Unless it’s on El Al… then I’ll leave

[stoic garnet]

Kat strikes, bombing runs, and arty can all kill a heavy tank

Bombing runs you can do consistently with enough info and knowledge of tech, the other two are gamba

[storm stratus]

Must have to be direct hits? I watched numerous runs not kill a heavy. As commander with my own eyes on the field. They just move outta the dust after… And i heard its like 16shells from arty to kill a heavy? Anyone know for real.

[stoic garnet]

The bombing run requires 2 direct hits to the top of the tank behind the turret to kill

[visual niche]

Dat cupola

[stoic garnet]

Arty won’t kill a tank until it direct hits, if it hits the top of the tank directly it’s 2 arty shells to kill

I have a clip of getting killed by arty in a 76 on carentan in a scrimmage

[slate canopy]

I understand, but I'm sure they have to provide official servers. I give Team Fortress 2 as example. Community servers are ALWAYS better, but they always have official servers. You want to hop on quick for a match? Official server. You can still join community if you so choose.

[wind shore]

I always imitate that I’m satcheling the tank, before it smoke that tank, and after tank crew jumping out and I’m getting them

I come close to the tanks , from behind, so spotter couldn’t see what I’m doing

And after 5 seconds of doing nothing, behind the tank, I’m imitating that I’m running away cause I’m “successfully” satchel the tank

And waiting until they gonna get in save place or they just jump up at the same moment

[midnight nacelle]

I've found switching to my bandages can spook some tankers. 😅

[wind shore]

Yes, before I found the interesting thoughts, could I kill enemy tank with smoke grenades, and it was yes, and those works well, after I realised that I should imitate satchel

To make them leave the tank

[wind shore]

I don’t know, I knew about that something wrong with PHL map after it was announced the rework of this map, and PTE. I played before and wasn’t mad about this map, El Alamein , except the faction rework was also good, I didn’t know that somebody reported about this map, it still good, but idk. Also I mentioned before , when they dropped Mortain DLC that it should be locked for Mortain , when it was on release locked for this certain map, cause it makes unique, and don’t turns into BF5 after releases of 5-6+ maps in future, everybody said that anachronisms is ok, but ok, no problem , Panzer Lehr wasn’t existed before 1944, so it is also could be used on Eastern front maps. But ok, and after PTE on PHL ( it seems good on PHL in PTE with fog and lighting ) idk why fog was removed after PTE and where is the lightings, haven’t seen them. But what’s wrong with weather conditions like fog etc, why people complaining about it, I think competitive game destroy HLL game more than doing positive things to Hell let Loose. So it should be separate stuff for comp , like warfare etc, and vanilla gamers , which could play more realism

Moved it from WW2 , not to spam there about game moments

So comp asking for balance , and more arcade things, but stop please, most of the players are still vanilla gamers, and love it for WW2 historical accuracy like weapons, +- tank specs, stuff , maps

Uniforms , which should be also for certain maps or years

And STGs on El Alamein & Tobruk or Panthers it should not be

[thin lotus]

historically teleports behind you
caps your objective with the team who also teleported
nothin personal

[wind shore]

They mentioned it in dev blogs, that this system ,they wanted to rework it

So as ideas - Making bunkers like in S44 or dugouts , where players will spawn and leave it, so i never kill players when they spawning , cause for me it’s not good to trick with game mechanics, today I’ve just destroyed OP and didn’t kill them when they spawned , also always do this, cause it’s just weird mechanics

Or just a halftrucks with bots lol who will riding on the trajectory every 2 mins

[wind shore]

But still , it more historically accurate game than S44 or Enlisted, so competitive players asking for things which breaks the conception of this game at all

Paratroopers for example could replace garrisons, bunkers and dugouts could replace “table with borning guys”

[lucid tusk]

Lolwut

Sq44 has faction and map specific loadouts and factions, and actual vehicle physics and most importantly good gunplay

[wind shore]

In S44 you have spawn protection

[wind shore]

Gun play it’s bouncing, and they hold their guns like in modern warfare

Soldiers looks like plastic for real, for graphics it’s pretty clean maps

Nobody was shooting and holding guns like this in WW2, like it’s in S44, so also ur weapons from FPS bouncing and you don’t feel the impact

[covert elbow]

And HLL does it better?

[wind shore]

In HLL you have the impact of weapons , feels different to each weapon, tanks also looks like real heavy machines

[covert elbow]

Not at all haha

HLL is super floaty

[wind shore]

Who hold the gun like in Arma , which was above 21 century or end of 20 century

In HLL* they copied it from real footages

[midnight nacelle]

https://tenor.com/view/nothing-personal-kid-teleports-behind-you-megaman-battle-network-battle-network-megaman-exe-gif-25890807

[wind shore]

No I don’t think in HLL it’s floaty gun play, your gun is stable , not bouncing , and you feel the impact

[covert elbow]

There’s no real gunplay though. It’s just shoot and fire

It’s one of the easiest FPS’s I’ve ever played. And the only reason it isn’t the easiest is because the weapons are so terribly implemented it feels like I’m lugging around a stick most of the time

[wind shore]

In Enlisted tanks dies so fast from nowhere , and it feels like toys , for example , in S44 you runing on clean maps with plastic graphics of soldiers. If you look at HLL faces, it’s typical German faces for Germans , it’s typical faces for Americans , it’s typical faces for British, and it’s typical faces for Soviets, when my friend first time seen HLL customization , he said “Wow , they made historical accurate and so beautiful faces, Germans looks like Germans “, he said

It feels cause bad hit reg,maybe , but in HLL I feel the impact

[wind shore]

When I was streaming HLL to my friend, he also said that he feeling the impact of weapons and tanks , but it wasn’t him who played, he was watching

In Enlisted you have the same faces for all factions except Japan

It seems weird, to play random guys with anachronistic guns and plastic tanks

[thorny acorn]

well i feel like enlisted is like lets add every gun possible then milk the game by making it kinda pay to win

[covert elbow]

Not kinda, that’s the plan. That’s just Gaijins MO

[thorny acorn]

not really, HLL is definitely not the easiest, i mean sure by just shooting but you can't win based on your individual skill

[covert elbow]

I mean you really can

[wind shore]

They adding the new squad - just take the default anachronistic skins, copy paste the description from Wiki, and sell it for 20$

[covert elbow]

If your talking about spawns then yes

But give a man a STG or SMG and they can easily wipe a team if their good enough

[thorny acorn]

what if they run into a tank?

[wind shore]

They had paper tanks which was only 1 amount made, like Japan one

[covert elbow]

Man I remember people suggesting giving an SMG to medic and I just had to stop and ponder for a bit haha

[wind shore]

And wanted to add Tiger for Pacific

[covert elbow]

They can pretty easily ignore it. Or if their assault level 9 take it out themselves

[thorny acorn]

what if they are being shot from really far away

[covert elbow]

They can just locate the target and hit it because HLL has pinpoint accuracy

[thorny acorn]

i think we have the issue that console fights are usually more closer, and on pc full auto isnt that big of an advantage

[wind shore]

In enlisted medics could be equipped with STG 44 with Zf.4 and should we take the bad examples from S44 or enlisted and return HLL into the dump

[thorny acorn]

what if they are being suppressed by an mg, they dont have the accuracy then

smgs and full auto is strong where it needs to be, its logical for smg to be better than a bolt action at short ranges, but you can easily take away that advantage

[covert elbow]

Just wait for the MG to lose interest and pop his head

Suppression is a joke in this game

[thorny acorn]

what if he doesn't

[storm stratus]

They need to double or triple flame thrower suppression imo. On the subject of supression 😂

[covert elbow]

Then wait until they reload?

[thorny acorn]

what if they have a capable teamates who are flanking you while he is suppressing you

[covert elbow]

Solo play is absolutely viable and a pretty common thing in this game. The amount of times I’ll be doing stuff super far away from the front only to be killed by a random enemy is pretty often

[storm stratus]

Those flankers or recons are very important

[covert elbow]

They also need to extend its range and make it more realistic. This “buff” is nice but the flamethrower is still close to uselesss

[thorny acorn]

well u get killed so its not that important

viable*

[wind shore]

Enlisted has good things also, like dynamic snow, voice acting , when you runing throw the battlefield you hear replics

[storm stratus]

The buff is nice. I enjoy using it on tight maps. I’ll use it more after the update 😂

[wind shore]

More soldiers on the battlefield

[covert elbow]

No it is. Going solo and destroying nodes is very important

[thorny acorn]

yea recon not just being heheh i got scope is a really important thing to understand about the game

[wind shore]

Range buff

To 33 metres

[covert elbow]

Having a 1 person or a small group wipe multiple garrisons and nodes is just the right thing to do

[thorny acorn]

well are you solo winning the match then, who is capturing the objectives if you are destroying nodes

[covert elbow]

Your denying the enemy vital recourses for tanks, bombing runs, etc

That’s not winning the game but it’s absolutely helping turn the tide

[thorny acorn]

still you arent capturing/defending objectives, so you cant win

[storm stratus]

Holy moly. I would just be happier with a new heat like suppression so all players nearby just get massive suppression when in use. Cause the heat would be insane!

[thorny acorn]

yes but you aren't playing solo, you are coordinating with your team

[covert elbow]

Not all the time

[wind shore]

The fire should bounced from walls maybe , but the normal range for FmW. 41 - 33 metres , and other flamethrowers

[thorny acorn]

then you aren't gonna win

[storm stratus]

600-800 degrees and if using Napalm fuel 1000 degrees.

[wind shore]

Flamethrowers doesn’t give the supress effect

But I think it wouldn’t , it was not working like this

[storm stratus]

And leave fire on the ground like Molotovs to cut paths off

[thorny acorn]

ik im being really annoying with my examples but you do need little team organization to win

[wind shore]

I earned all achievements with flamethrower, but still it useless

Most of achievements earned , except Skirmish ones

[covert elbow]

Yes

[thorny acorn]

so being able to "solo carry" is impossible in a way

[wind shore]

You haven’t played on console

[thorny acorn]

flamethrower only has the cool factor

[wind shore]

When sometimes all team with out microphones

[thorny acorn]

true and i said it might have to do with the different platforms

[thorny acorn]

happens on pc too dont worry

[thin lotus]

there's no reasonable buff that can be made to the flamethrower that'd make it better than even the worst gun in HLL

[thorny acorn]

well its kinda situational so if there were more situations where it could be used it would be better

[wind shore]

So I’ve suggested before, that make voice acting like enlisted has , if you an officer or infantry and placing the marks of enemy infantry or tank for example, make ur character spell it in German , Russian , English , just for each side own voice acting. Also it will solve the idea “to hear enemy chat”

And it addings more realism

• you could hear that enemy talking near you

[thorny acorn]

well there is no hurt in adding that

[wind shore]

It’s not hard to understand all of 3 languages just same replics which will be repeated in the game every time

[thorny acorn]

the only problem i can imagine would be the default voices talking over what you are saying

but thats such a small issue

[wind shore]

But you hear enemy, and could understand what they saying , about providing garrisons or warning about enemy bombing run for example or friendly

Or if they are near or behind the wall

[wind shore]

Why not , it will not mess so much , around the battle sounds around it will not reflect too much

[thorny acorn]

yea i say its such a small issue only few ppl would complain about

[wind shore]

And in enlisted for example when you running into attack you hear just screaming and understand that enemy coming or smth

And it make it like movie

With hundreds of players attacking the point throw fields etc, MG, trenches , dynamic snow , etc, sometimes

[thorny acorn]

maybe even as immersive as bf1

[wind shore]

But still , tank play is not good in enlisted , and gun play in S44, but for dynamics S44 and enlisted wins HLL

they have more dynamics in battlefield

Like destructive assets, fences, more types of vehicles like flaks etc, so also voice acting make you feel the big immersion of WW2

[thorny acorn]

tanks in HLL are awesome, i was trying them recently and they are really fun, i heard that SQ44 ones are even better

[wind shore]

I’ve seen lots of maps in S44 videos or fandom, but never played them, only when I join I see 2 active servers with Calmar or France 1940, that’s all

[thorny acorn]

yea thats what sucks about the game lol

but with the Pacific update i think there is gonna be lots of players now

[wind shore]

It was happiness to see the SME map, I wanted to see how flaks work and parachute jumping , but when joined it , I’ve spawned on the ground with out parachute jumping

It was in video before , in SME in S44 they jumped from planes and was heavy flak fire around, but when I joined it , I’ve seen it only for 1 time for 1 month of playing, I’ve spawned at the ground, and was disappointed about it

[covert elbow]

They could very easily add a line of code that disables your voicelines when your using a microphone

[wind shore]

Similar game mode I’ve remember also suggested , to add flak panzers at SME and make search and destroy mode

[thorny acorn]

knowing the devs that would come as a major update 2 months after, thats why im pointing it out this early

[covert elbow]

HLL’s tanks are very basic while S:44 are much more in-depth and technical, making it so you actually have to learn a lot for tanks. HLL boils down to “use a heavy tank and win”

[covert elbow]

Yea haha

[wind shore]

It’s not true

[thorny acorn]

well its fun so im not complaining

[thorny acorn]

well im thinking that im not saying it as a fact 😭

[wind shore]

In Enlisted they also has pacific , which includes all theatres of pacific , like rare battles with Mongolia and Chinese , but still , S44 will just repeat it from Enlisted

I meant , it will not make S44 better, still they will have the same 1-2 active servers

Or they gonna play only Pacific?

[thorny acorn]

im saying hopefully more players will stick to the game

[wind shore]

Idk , never seen the stuff from their previews on servers, cause always it’s just 1-2 servers with 70 and 99 players playing Calmar

[thorny acorn]

like there is definitely gonna be an increase of player count few days after the update drops, then it will go backt to the old one and possibly increase a little

[thorny acorn]

yea but enlisted is a snail game and snail games are kinda mmmm

.... having a bad reputation rn

[wind shore]

More players play than in S44

[thorny acorn]

bc it has more platforms

and fits more wider player base

SQ44 is a more nicher experience

[wind shore]

You could try Pacific already in Enlisted , they had the big amount of Pacific maps and factions

[thorny acorn]

yea but im not playing sq44 for Pacific, but some ppl might want to try it, then they might like the game so they will stick to it

and as i said enlisted has a bad reputation

[wind shore]

Enlisted has a reputation of donat

[thorny acorn]

for being too greedy

[wind shore]

They started advertising premium squad when you click “Play” and you getting the message about premium squad , and you should skip it or close before play

Also it’s a scam to pay for plastic not historical accurate skins 20$

[thorny acorn]

damn and the game isn't dead yet???

[wind shore]

Lots of players still play it and wasting money on premium guns

Anyways I gtg

See you in Enlisted

Or HLL

[thorny acorn]

lol

that sure

baiiii

[wind shore]

PS I’m still addicted to “premium squads” in enlisted lol, like parachute squads

[magic moss]

why is there like 15 na east servers and not a single west server

[slate canopy]

I'm pretty sure there are west servers 🤔

I can see 3 community servers, Glow's Battleground, [Merc] US West, Offensive Heaven US West. first two have high 90's, 70's in offensive. [number of players]

But I play anywhere from west coast to european servers 🤷‍♀️

[magic moss]

i meant like officals

[visual niche]

East has the advantage of being relatively playable for EU & vice versa

West & Asia or Oceania.. Not as playable

So they probably have more East with that in mind if I were to guess

Alright who thinks custom load outs are a good idea

Cuz I dont

[marble comet]

i like being able to choose mp40 or rifle

now if people start putting red dots and suppressors and extended mags

[echo nova]

very bad idea

would render roles useless

[analog apex]

it's about equipment available and its amouts available in relation to the weapon, not the priamry weapon itself

• no reason for an ordnance box to be unavailable for a Kar98K RIFLEMAN if another his loadout has it available even with a better weapon
• no reason for the SUPPORT to have both the boxes only with MP40 while Kar98K was always the standard issue and yet we don't have it even as an option

• no reason for an Officer to not have a pistol just because he takes M1 Garand

and other stuff

basically almost any of the stuff

[analog apex]

Custom loadouts would be good, but always depends on HOW they would be implmented. If it was about making a loadout only from the weapons/equipment already available in the already existing loadouts.... why couldn't we shuffle them?

Nobody suggests all the weapons (nor equipment) to be available on all the classes like you seem to be thinking of.

You don't read the suggestions fully and then come to wrong conclusions based on things you just imagined yourself, and which have nothing to do with the suggestion at hand you are reacting to.

[unreal spoke]

1

@devs make pacific DLC

[analog apex]

devs pls not before adding more content to the already existing and yet-still-empty factions/theatres (the British, the Soviets)

[unreal spoke]

smh

[analog apex]

why would anybody want another theatre with just 1 map and with possibly incomplete weapon/vehicle rosters for its factions?

just remember how long it took for the British in Africa to get their proper vehicles/weapons long after the map was added
or for the Soviets to get the light tank

the Soviets don't have an anti-tank structure for Engineer to this day

[echo nova]

uhh is there a way to see how much time is left in a match before u join it?

[analog apex]

nope

only if the community that owns the server, uses the C-rcon and we can check the timer there

for example http://208.115.248.101:7010/#/

[unreal spoke]

Pacific build DLC 👍 map pack new guns new everything

[echo nova]

thanks

[unreal spoke]

Then it will feel complete

[echo nova]

i wil

[analog apex]

but of course, links to their C-rcons you have to always find out by yourself from the clans or search for it in their discords

sadly, there isn't such thing like an universal list with links to all existing C-rcons of all clans that are using it

[languid cloud]

So

bad news

The flu got me.

[unreal spoke]

Rip

[wind shore]

the worst type of player in this game is the 1000+ hours gametime "veteran" who gives advice to newer players like use smokes if the outpost is under fire

i swear some of you guys

id take epic level 10 bros with no mic over you guys any day

[unreal spoke]

it’s a video game everyone get real. 😂 act like it

Lower all your blood pressure . Touch grass

[vale garnet]

There is it’s just private

[analog apex]

not rly, I managed to get several rcon links of various clans just by searching very easily

just the list is private (if any) and if, I guess there is no reason why it is private

[vale garnet]

Yeah, there are multiple clans with RCON lists, all of them are private that’s what I mean

[analog apex]

ah right

because at least in my case, all the servers I have ever been playing at and are/were my favourites, I found the Rcons for all of them

[arctic rampart]

Depends on the location and other context. It's not an all bad idea. Well, I mean not directly on the OP, but nearby at the least.

[wind shore]

if you have time to throw a smoke you have time to kill an entire squad after spawning

[arctic rampart]

Not always.
The reason I brought it up, because yday I had the very exact thing happen in PHL whilst flanking Douve Bridge to the East.
MG spotter more or less the wareabouts of the spawns and starting mowing it down on cycle. At greater distances nailing the mg becomes a lottery game, so throwing a smoke or two in the direction of the shots is a good way to get yourself some breathing room in order to reposition, get accurate info on the shooter and nail him down.

Ofc if they're right there like 50m away, then shoot 'em, screw smokes. But it's all very situational.
Overall I do agree that most people call for such actions in the incorrect times though

[novel geyser]

Sometimes you might have time to take cover after spawning but the person camping the spawn is hiding somewhere. It's gonna be more risky to try and shoot them that just getting down and throwing smokes
Smokes will ensure the next wave will survive. You're not always gonna be able to snipe the person camping reliably

Also there is nothing wrong with experienced players giving advice or suggestions to new players. If people didn't give advice new players would be more gormless than they already are

[vale garnet]

If you throw smoke the MG just shoots into the smoke and you don’t see anything, unless you can get your smoke close enough to him to actually block his view it’s useless.

You’re way better off either spawning and trying to shoot him or just spawning somewhere else

[novel geyser]

Even if he sprays in the smoke he's less likely to hit the next spawn wave than if there is no smoke. And he isn't going to see when the next wave spawns

There nothing wrong with throwing the smoke then trying to get a shot on him. It's better than just letting your whole team constantly get mowed down with no visual cover in the case you don't manage to kill him

[vale garnet]

Meh, at mg ranges smoke shadows are pretty clear too I’d rather just fight him with a clear view

[heady hornet]

just go prone in the smoke.

[worthy charm]

And wait that the smoke despawns?

[vale garnet]

Yes when I get shot at I ALWAYS immediately go prone because it makes you so much harder to shoot

[worthy charm]

Snipers hate that xD

What should they do against a slow target

Out of the smoke?

So the mg can see you?

[heady hornet]

yes different direction from where you get shot at.

smoke in between you and MG.

[worthy charm]

Smokes arent nearly big enough for that.

Also there isnt gras on all maps.

[past veldt]

Just spawn at HQ and walk up

MG won't kill you for a bit then

[heady hornet]

you need to throw more smokes. To create a large wall of smoke.

[heady hornet]

Just dont play maps without gras.

[timber niche]

a hi

i am new in this server

I just came in out of curiosity, Steam just gave me these HLL logos, do you know why? Has it happened to you?

[solar crow]

Trading cards?

[timber niche]

oh nuuuu, I can't pass imagnees qwq

[timber niche]

Yes, but they only have a ?????? sign and no images

[solar crow]

it's just a placeholder achievement

[wind shore]

all smokes ensure is that now everyone knows where the spawn is not just the 1-2 shooting at it, and it will ensure that you will never be able to actually move away from OP, because walking out of smokes -- i think this is the case for every mutliplayer game ever -- is always disadvantageous.

you never walk through smokes in any shooter ever.

its like the golden rule of smokes

[novel geyser]

I think seeing the people spawn in ensured everyone knows where the spawn is lmao

[wind shore]

people are surprisingly bad at pressuring spawns

if you throw a smoke now the entire team looks at the smoke

[novel geyser]

Besides if you throw the smoke on the spawn you are dumb, you smoke the enemy not yourself

[wind shore]

throw a smoke on a flank and instantly everyone dies

[solar crow]

I just yank my smokes where the enemy is at so they're blinded

[wind shore]

also more often than not smoke block people in good positions

say no to smokes

[solar crow]

people are just dumb

[wind shore]

the main reason people throw smokes is because they are overwhelmed

its panic

[novel geyser]

I just think smokes are much more useful that you make out. I wouldnt throw them if no one knew where I was, but if im taking fire heavy fire on a push, Im throwing smoke

[timber niche]

a ok ok

yt uwu

[worthy charm]

People playing on tobruk hate this trick

[wind shore]

smokes in theory are very different from smokes thrown in pubs

[novel geyser]

well it depends who is throwing the smokes then

[worthy charm]

Even with gras if the mg has highground gras doesnt really matter anymore.

[novel geyser]

as I said smoke the enemy not yourself

[wind shore]

like when i pressure a squad and they start to throw smokes i know i won

i have mentally broken them no way to recover from that

dab

liek u know that choatic suqad VC omg throws smokess aaaa op is being under fire ahhhh

thats GG

[novel geyser]

in some cases maybe but smokes are still useful when used right, Ive managed to save spawns by throwing smokes when they're being camped. If the person camping it is communicating with the team, its location is already compromised. if he isnt, throwing smoke isnt gonna make that much of a difference

[plush robin]

Tbh custom loadouts would kinda ruin balance because then everyone using the best gun in the role they are using would ruin the game cuz why would anyone pick the kar98 when they could pick mp40

[solar crow]

Replace smokes with mustard gas

[arctic rampart]

Cause if one guy spots it, you write it down as everyone knowing about it.
At that point the end goal's not to kill everyone coming to it and then have your guys attack their spawn.
The goal's to get the SL out of there to he can place it elsewhere by any means necessary.

[novel geyser]

I think the idea of custom loadouts would still limit what weapons a role can use. And maybe add a loadout point system so people arent just taking the best equipment. You would have to make compromises

[solar crow]

Cause an mp40 sucks at long range

compared to the kar

[novel geyser]

otherwise I think the guns just need better nuance in general because they all can feel very similar

[mint ocean]

arguable, at 100m still an SMG beats rifles often, in both cases where you see the other first and where they miss their first shot

loadouts shouldn't change the primary weapon except for very rare cases

loadouts just are the way they are because BM said "we're adding different equipment but no new guns to keep things realistic"

[novel geyser]

adds shotgun

[mint ocean]

then some class got the grease gun because it was a new gun, and they started adding SMGs to every class while simultaneously saying "we're limiting automatics"

[novel geyser]

adds ww1 weapons for british at launch

[mint ocean]

that too, they weren't even used

[azure heath]

We need a loadout rework

[mint ocean]

and post-war

[solar crow]

I wish specialist roles were limited

[novel geyser]

literally got their weapon research from a deviant art post

[mint ocean]

an STG with the vampir sight has legit more reason to be in HLL than shotguns

[azure heath]

Gewher 41 to replace STG44 and G43 on EF maps?

[mint ocean]

its also funny that soviets widely using molotovs is a "myth" that literally originates from the first COD games

[mint ocean]

G41 should be the primary german semiauto until like Autumn 1944

supplemented by SVTs ofc in the eastern front

FG42 ingame is also wrong

in like all ways conceivable, which is funny because it already got feedback before and during its development

[novel geyser]

BM truly didnt give two sh its and people need to stop pretending they did

[azure heath]

1944 January would make more sense

[mint ocean]

in the beginning they did which is a shame

[mint ocean]

no, G43 numbers only suprassed G41 in like July 44

[azure heath]

oh i know what you meant now

[mint ocean]

notable issuement began around February 44 but i cant remember the details

[solar crow]

I didn't even know a g41 existed

[azure heath]

it'd still be in loadouts in 1944, but until then there'd be more G41s is what you mean?

[mint ocean]

there'd be basically no G43s until normandy maps

[azure heath]

okay, that sounds perfect

[mint ocean]

people also understate the number of STGs and G43s from autumn 1944 onward

in short every single infantry squad "could've" had one STG and one G41/43 in terms of numbers

STGs ofc were lumped together and issued concentratedly for entire units, G43s a bit more liberally

in the meanwhile the US barely has SMGs

[azure heath]

For the sake of this game they'd stay liberal

[mint ocean]

for the games sake they'd give everyone an MP40 including riflemen

[azure heath]

I can't imagine even one squad with entirely stg44s in this game

i still wish this idea comes to fruition, https://discord.com/channels/316459644476456962/1341183364618518618

[novel geyser]

🙏

[mint ocean]

doesnt the PIAT have a smoke trail for its grenade?

[novel geyser]

yes

sparks and smoke like its any other launcher

[mint ocean]

which is stupid because it's as if you threw a rock and it had a smoke trail because ?????

[novel geyser]

its just really really fast it makes sense trust me

[azure heath]

best AT weapon in the game

[mint ocean]

rocket launchers should be far more powerful and limited to like 2x per team in specific say 3-man AT squads

[novel geyser]

I just really want subfactions for existing maps fr

[mint ocean]

having map-based selections of uniforms, equipment and loadouts

like FH2

[novel geyser]

I dont care too much about specific regiments and things, I'd be happy with just splitting the airborne from the army

[mint ocean]

works like magic, curiously not even a trace of imbalance

[azure heath]

uniforms will be rough with the kickback from everyone who bought DLC

[analog apex]

and tanks/vehicles

[novel geyser]

yeah

[mint ocean]

their mistake

[novel geyser]

I think best way to sort of soften the blow is just be sure there is plenty of variety of maps for those DLCs to be used

[azure heath]

although, me who has all them and doesn't care

[mint ocean]

my favorite cosmetic is the 200% upsized soviet ww1 hat which isn't even based off a real military model or a chinese repro but someone's poor handmade model

[novel geyser]

I bought most of the DLCs and I WANT them to be restricted to a reasonable degree

[mint ocean]

my next favorite cosmetic are the 7 different dot44 helmet covers which definitely existed irl

[novel geyser]

their attempt with the whole divisions thing was awful however

[azure heath]

my favorite

[split lynx]

imagine if hell let loose adds anime skins

[azure heath]

i'd be totally not down

[split lynx]

why

[mint ocean]

it'd make sense if the division meant having insignia of that unit, but generic uniforms that could be anywhere being limited to X place is stupid

[azure heath]

i 'on't like anime

[mint ocean]

i was surprised the german winter uniforms weren't modeled with their buttons in the centerline

[mint ocean]

they should

[novel geyser]

making the standard restricted uniform paid DLC is just not what they should have done lmao

at most for now restrict the non-DLC ones and figure out a way to restrict the DLC ones later on

[mint ocean]

i love the korean war and 1980s items in HLL

but i also love the chinese reproductions

[azure heath]

They could allow one uniform per map for free and allow DLC users for to use that uniform on other maps where it existed

[split lynx]

hell let loose should add abilites like valorant

[azure heath]

i'd love killstreaks

[split lynx]

let me cook

[azure heath]

just imagine sending down a nebelwerfer because you got a 10 killstreak

this is a joke

[mint ocean]

V2 strike

[azure heath]

Hell Let Loose: Arcade Maximus

[novel geyser]

secret die glocke killstreak

[mint ocean]

as it always has been

[mint ocean]

kills every player

[azure heath]

might as well step it up, get COD in Hell Let Loose

lots of money in it

great idea to spend time on

[pine ember]

Yes please, alongside a MKb42 H for high level assault or automatic rifleman

[azure heath]

hot take: the level system for unlocking loadouts is bad

[novel geyser]

i agree

especially with how some loadouts are literally straight upgrades and how long it takes to level classes

the slow leveling also encourages people to stick to one class through the entire match rather than change to what fits the situation

[azure heath]

but also, all american tanking loadouts should get a grease gun (no thompson)

British, all stens

Soviets and Germans, whatever they had

[azure heath]

yes

[azure heath]

and yes

[mint ocean]

tfw nothing was meant to be unlockable in the beginning

it was supposed to be a system where you just switch out ur 2ndary gear to suit the situation

it was specifically stated they ought not to be upgrades

but then eventually they even made "normal" loadout selections specifically to be powercreep

[azure heath]

i got all my loadouts unlocked but it's still so dumb

[mint ocean]

so originally u had MG42, it was expected 34 would've become a 2nd option because they were rarer than 42s especially in normandy

[azure heath]

but nope

[mint ocean]

but then it was made so you have the 34 by standard and only then get the 42

[azure heath]

for an update, i'd love to see a complete loadout overhaul

[mint ocean]

mhm

[azure heath]

fixing the progression, who had what loadout and how many, and the loadouts themselves

and i'd be down for a full STG squad

@fluid pawn is it roadmap teaser day?

[pure crater]

hi

[azure heath]

hello there!

[fluid pawn]

Not today I'm afraid! Is there anything you or the community would like to see from the new map however that I can share 😄

[azure heath]

the temporary panther asset being replaced?

or any progress from the PTE

[fluid pawn]

The panther assests will be replaced yes 🙂

[wind shore]

when new map on release client?

[azure heath]

he ain't gonna say

that's top secret classified info

(they don't know)

[fluid pawn]

https://tenor.com/view/top-gun-tom-cruise-maverick-classified-secret-gif-5041272

[azure heath]

oh no no i meant seeing the asset that's replacing it (if ready)

🥺

[fluid pawn]

Oh gotchu! I'll have to check in with the art team, however not sure they are in the build yet for me to share. Will add that to the pre-launch reveals list though 🫡

[azure heath]

figured, but we do need a memorial to commemorate the holy sandbags

[fluid pawn]

"in the armmmmsss of an angel"

👼

[past vortex]

are there any plans to adress to obvious and easy to fix shortcomings? (the UI)

[azure heath]

give specifics

[past vortex]

the randomly centered scoreboard

the spawn menu list that doesnt have all infos

the map only available in arbitrary situations

etc etc

[split lynx]

is it possible to play with no HUD in hell let loose? like no teamate highlight and chat and nothing

[past vortex]

the bandage

[azure heath]

yes (mostly)

it's called occlusion or something along those lines in the gameplay settings

[split lynx]

wait hell let loose graphics or battlefield graphics

whihcs one betetr

[azure heath]

depends

[split lynx]

cuz the battlefield no hud gameplayt looks so good

[azure heath]

overall i think i have to go battlefield

but it's very sureal

[mint ocean]

look at them with your eyes and see which you like

i remember someone saying HLL supposedly has outdated graphics

[azure heath]

and then they look at Post Scriptum

[past vortex]

also the scoring
or is there only an art team?

[mint ocean]

ask the art team to remove all Dot44 helmets because they aren't real

[azure heath]

the gentlest get wrecked moment

[past vortex]

do you play hll? do you like it ?

[azure heath]

this feels like an interrogation now

[past vortex]

:}

its just because a new map is all nice and so
but it does nothing about the things that anger players every minute they play

[azure heath]

he's played at least 6 hours in the past 3 weeks according to discord lol

[fluid pawn]

I'm a bit confused by the suggestions you've given. Could you give more detail as I'm not sure what you are referring too with centred scoreboard and the bandage 🙂

[fluid pawn]

Same with the scoring. What do you mean by this exactly?

[azure heath]

i think he means how combat effectiveness is distributed

[fluid pawn]

I do play yes and enjoy it a lot

[vale garnet]

You enjoy it? Something is very wrong with you sir

[fluid pawn]

I'm not very good though as am trying to learn mouse and keyboard

[past vortex]

yo bandage is crazy
it says press f to show respect err bandage
that only selects the bandage (but only if you dont happen to hold an MG that can be deployed)
so you have to press F again
then you have to select the wepon agin
pretty bad
