That's more the substance of my post.
Im still waiting for a proper offensive style game mode that's more than just "capture the point and move to the next", I want dynamic objectives mixed in. Blow up this obstacle, hold off the counterattack, destroy the artillery battery
Offensive needs to be fixed first by disallowing attackers in defenders locked territory.
And by adding back in a second objective
Skirmish is a gateway experience for new players of Hell Let Loose! This game mode allows players to get straight into the action and experience some of the core mechanics of Hell Let Loose with fewer moving parts.
This is a quicker 50vs50 experience for some of our core audience who want to hop in for a few games and immerse themselves in the battle immediately.
You are right it was also meant for that. It seems it failed on both fronts.
Agreed
2023, has been quite some time 
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/686810/view/3869217710002324957
And we're still stuck with the most boring version of skirmish
We could've had 3 active strong points one
Skirmish shouldn't even be a thing
oddly enough, people enjoyed the 18vs18s back in the day - 2 set garrisons over one hardcap, with overtime at the end. 30 mins of combat + extra time if the point isnt 100% in either sides hands/owned.
skirmish now is 30 minutes, of which 5 minutes arent important.
I think they should remake the whole game, I'd paid another 30 or 40 bucks for them to just kind of rebuild it now i dont want new modes or anything.. but i definitely want the pacific am I alone here?? I just want to play normandy and russia
3 mins waiting time + 2 minutes at the end where teh match is over 
Skirmish is a great example of how T17 treating new game content. They release something new, release hot fixes if needed and that is it.
they kept making skirmish throughout the years
The community doesn't want more 😭
My point exactly. They should revisit what is already there and work with that.
Can we make nodes work better, can we make structures better, ...
The community would complain like there's no tomorrow
the community will complain either way 
All I am trying to say the game is good as is now try to perfect it.. structures are not used really, nodes are more like a chore..
Everyone says that.
But nobody really means that.
That's not my point. The point is that adding new maps or irrelevant content such as SPA does not change or enhance the gameplay.
They should figure out why are structures not being used, why nodes feel like a chore, ...
Imagine if the SPA was allowed to be OP for a few weeks to shakeup the meta before getting patched to be less impactful.
But if they work for years on modes like Skirmish basically trimming the map and make a big strongpoint in the middle of the map.. bro
Nobody even plays SPA it stays on the HQ most of the time
Uh, no.
It does on our servers. People are not aware or there is no interest in playing it.
Case in point, the SPA should've been allowed to be impactful.
I can't wait 🫨 🙌
News of news ahh news
This is what im saying though, what if we got a sequel? hll2? let them cook and rebuild?
They're impactful, just nowhere near the level of old artillery which was crazy OP
build a solid thing but basically exaclty what we have or would you rather go no i want pacific and new maps etc
In fact it's so OP they won't allowed in tournaments. I hoped we could try something new but I must agree it is a little too much and infantry play would be even more frustrating
"News"🍷 🧐
Comp is a joke for not allowing it
Or should we say olds? The vote ended 2nd of this month
Did someone say Skirmish
That's just plain wrong I'm sorry 😅
I'm sure the argument was thrown around
Imagine trying to adapt instead of doing the same thing over and over again
But there's a plethora of reasons why teams voted against it
hi
why i bought and install the add on and i cant see them in the game
Before I reset my PC they worked fine
Because they want horses?
Lay it on me
I personally think it's very OP but was still fighting for SPA being allowed in ECL as I would rather have the option to have some new arty mechanics and also being able to destroy it
What's ECL?
Ah, just 11 more minutes until the inevitable meltdown in this Discord :)
2 maps a YEAR
if that
LMAOOO
On the plus side, you don't want that much file size inflation
🙄
Would rather have that than rushed garbage tbh
Mortain 😔
t17 isnt expediting anything
'rush' isnt in their vocabulary
In no particular order, too overpowered, useless anyway so who cares, reinforces map/faction imbalance, likely to be changed again in the future, too early to tell, less arty is good, dont wanna introduce drastic changes mid-season, so forth. There's definitely also been plenty of teams that would have liked to see SPAs though.
Fr
Ey, Timer warm up
What if we got a sequel? hll2? let them cook and rebuild? build a solid thing but basically exaclty what we have or would you rather go no i want pacific and new maps etc
The only one that's valid is if the was a running tournament.
Hi @hazy owl
Can they please get out Vietnam first before you start talking about HLL2 lol
I hope there will be some adjustments and we'll be able to see SPA in the 2nd split of ECL
@worthy charm if I get disappointed I'm going to verbally abuse you❤️
lol, i dont care about vietnam fr. but if they did ww2 again for a sequel would you pay full price for like carentan again or something? or would you want entirely new maps and new campaigns like italy or something
Only because you end up in an apples to organes were earlier results don't match the current conditions.
I was hoping they were working on HLL remake instead... they it read Vietnam after that.. damn
@slate canopy Ban this man, he is mean
Naaaa
I'm with you
why tf would anyone spawn that
@worthy charm what are you going to do now?
Any English speaking server where I can play as a newbie with good teammates who can teach me?
OP destroyer
You cant stop us😈
. ban @ Sparta Rude af
That happened once
Where tf is nam news
Overpowered destroyer? 
With a very similar prompt lol
Two for one deal
I'm literally 17% of the server activity
hahaha
Don't ban elise
Or I will leave
I dont need to, just need to ban you
based activity with floppa gifs
Oh wait
Helpful community....
Yes, that is us
Oh my sweet sweet summer childs
I'd ask that in #new-recruit-barracks
@finite berry doesn't even own the game lol
Who is gonna tell them?
@patent crater You are from Asia?
You guessed well ❤️
And yet I'm more helpful than most of the community actually playing the game 
Can hardly find any English speaking servers
It's now swung the other way in chat. Show's how close it was in the actual vote as well!
Ah, I see. If you were from the North America or Europe, there are some folks from those continents who offer elaborate teaching sessions.
Because the community is busy playing a not d3ad game
You could ask them whether they could help you
So the other half of the community will be mad then
Still, definitely ask in #new-recruit-barracks
@worthy charm have you seen my message?
damn
What was wrong with it?
😭
Good, more entertainment for all of us >:)
Aight I'll see
Always had been
The auto mod blocked a message
But I didn't say any bad words
I swear, this will be me as soon as hell breaks loose on this Discord when the vote results are out
Btw thanks I tweaked and am now getting mostly stable 60 FPS
Get ready for the comp player demanding Metz if it doesn't win because soviet weapons are bad
Alright, now I hope that Seelow wins 
which one isnt just fields
Someone should've told that to the Nazis in 1945
60 seconds
You're gonna buy HLL then? 😛
lovely fields you have there
i'm going to teleport past it though
that is, if i played this game
Of course not, what do you think of me :D
Wtf is this
törken
New map is Backrooms
based new map
We are confused together
Will buy HLL for that
🫂
corridor fighting and no arty because it has a ceiling
Snipe this out, he found it out
Don't lie, you know more - tell us :)
I dont
He does know lol
They have a mods chat with ben
It's green aaaaa
ALTBERG KNOWS MORE!
runs away
"Wow, I cant believe that [Map] Won the vote! This is clearly fixed, and the community actually wanted [OtherMap]"
waiting for the outrage
I'm going to copy this
Just in case
lmao
rigged
I did copy the message link
ripped 
That music tho
Orange
Brown
Is horrible
Pink
You go faster than I go lol
I say....I was more curious about Metz - but the info of "Battle over the Outskirts of Metz" worried me
Red
Brown is orange in a different context
Redder red
Yes you go faster than I go
What a tease
They are trying to give us epilepsy so we don't see the actual thing
0 in greys
I know that man
The calm before the storm
wider bridge and more underbridge bits - whaaat did I tell ya 
Skirmish guys
10/10
Torken
Törken
Törken
Get ready
Yygvkhh
Seelow won?
@analog apex Good jjob boting the result /s
not rigged, i love democracy
Its seelow
Zzzzz
Seelow won
Another map that won't get played
have fun playing your russian map smh
Gg devs
gonna be a poopoo map
@analog apex we got tickets confirmed for conquest
Here they are 🤣
Boooo
Russian flamethrower?
people gonna complain the open fields are gonna be to hard to cross
Now we just need tickets for the entire game :)
No shot
lol tickets.
These guys are out of touch completely
But honestly, it's good that Seelow won
Will balance out the fact that there's way too little UK and USSR maps
Confirmed
These Devs are so done
You will kill warfare if you Add conquest with a ticket System
I don't really see how TDs are such a great new addition. They won't add much to this barebones armour system
seelow is gonna be played a week and after that never again lmfao
But they are cool
Nothing for you to worry about then, right? 😉
Nothing burger
Eh.
Also my data cut out right as he announced who won
Man, another nothing burger of a community post though. Only new info we got was the map vote and details on remagen/ Juno
@fluid pawn ❤️ thanks for the vid
I'd rather say that Conquest will be dead on arrival
We waited a month for that?
Pacific
Very vague, you gotta actually show stuff lol. Juno being D day +1 is kind of a letdown ngl
Happy about Seelow though
lmao so to summarize: ticket system noone asked for instead of aknowledging the bugs
I think all the noobs aka newer Players will Play it means less warfare Players
yeah... now the question is... what form of tickets and how will they work? I honestly hope it won't be the plain global static tickets.
Will they, tho?
Indeed, nothing we didnt knew already
:}
Tickets only for Conquest in case I got that right
Horses
I actually think Yes when it will be the same as BF
Same. That just ruins the fun of HLL
sealow heights lets go
we need life tickets and also ammo tickets somehow +not plain global
Not if you don't add it to your rotation XD
Well Thats 1 Option 😅
Like all they did was say what's on the roadmap. Show me stuff, I dont care if it's rough models and concept pieces
I don't think so. We also got Conquest in Squad 44 and it was dead on arrival. I mean, people buy HLL to play an experience they usually don't get in Battlefield, so why would they flock to Conquest? Plus, there's gotta be servers that host it
ok
what map won
You saw Andy and know be happy
Seelow
Newer Players find warfare to hard so They will Play conquest
good
so when can we expect all these things to be implemented
@lusty barn who are you? remove the horse
new weapons! we're gonna break it down? nah just letting you know they are new that's it!
throughout the year of 2026
How tf should I know?
Allow me to disagree. New players just flock to the full servers, they don't care what's getting played.
ah okay
You could be right on this one… we will see when it arrives
What was new
So this was just the first one of these style of videos. My plan is to do more of them where I can go into more detail about new things or what the team are working on. Let me know what you'd like to see next! 🙂
GLORY TO THE WORKERS COMRADES
Dead Game + Dead Gamemode = Undead Game?
mortars and MG tripods pls 🙂 (I hope one day)
doubt it, servers will still be married to Warfare, even as bad as it is. Conquest will disappear much like Skirmish did.
Same thing happened with Squad, the general playerbase just sticks to whatever gamemode is the 'intended' one, regardless of there being other options.
Amazing
I prefer streams but I understand this is easier
Anything really, ill take doodles the devs did at this point, just show me the WiP stuff
Conquest mode = more camping
Could be Yes, also really Hope that will be the case..
Tickets for the entire game, playable caracals and and Indominus skin for the PzKpfw IV. :)
That would unironically make me buy HLL lol
naah, people will waste 97% of their tickets and then tell you to not respawn, while respawning themselves.
Camping will be the same amount 😄
camping Defending in bushes
There is a difference
GO AWAY
Completely understand that. What I'll try do is livestreams being gameplay related (more relaxed, just talking abotu the game), and these as more focused topics
no
More information on what’s happening. Kinda sore when next to nothing is revealed
the tickets need to be stored inside the spawnpoints and limited so a spawncamping would **NOT **decide a match
(selfdestruct or a cooldown after a spawnpoint is out of tickets)
WiP stuff. Noted 🫡
Yep, completely agree. That's exactly how it works.
lmao it's going to be campers paradise with the kellers hiring medics to stay around them
it breaks the fundamental concept of how hll works
Completley understand that. This one was mainly a proof of concept and my plan is to be able to get more detailed in future ones
As if people aren't camping already
*fixes
Sounds like a plan!
go back to squad please
Just hoped that you enjoyed this style of video rather than just trailers or livestreams
Are you a big enough fool to have a discussion with elise?
#easternfront #kursk #seelow
Alright I’m going to go cry about remagen and fall asleep. See y’all later
I never left it lol
That's why i said more camping
Fair
good, stay there. guess why noobody is playing that game
It worked, just needed more product, definitely go this way going forward, the livestreams get too cluttered.
Why did I play yesterday then :)
people were crying about Skirmish, and those server rotations were gone in like a week lmao
HLL still needs tickets by the way
You are nobody xD
:)
SKIRMISH is however a badly implemented seeding gamemode
Appreciate this! It was a tough one as a lot of the content for the year is either in development or still yet to be started, so this one was always going to be lighter. Moving forward I'll be able to show off more stuff hopefully which will be good!
go back to your peak 200 player game
you are somebody to me vro
*400
let's hope for a better implementation with CONQUEST, although we are yet to see how they will implement that one...
Shhh or you will attract the server owners
?
I would love some teasers about the vehicles or the weapons
I imagine the next dev diary will be conquest focused. If so, is there anythign specific you'd want covered?
seelow heads stay winning
Wrong chat William
although that dev diary felt a bit pointless outside of the map reveal it was basically just affirming what we already know mostly
you mistyped Horses
Cant wait for another open field unplayable map
get horsed willes
Hell id take a rough 3D model of a helmet in the unreal editor, i just like physically seeing the work being done
early images of the map, like they showed on stalingrad rework, with one-colour asset-placeholders.
they dont even date the roadmaps anymore lol
yup
Exactly
I keep reading that as TowerDefense and wonder each time, if we are getting outpost towers 
"grok, modify those existing model so it looks like in the picture i uploaded"
Those will be as good of an idea as hatches for tanks
HLL Tower Defence would be fire lmao
Oh wait
I dont carebif it's whitebox with a few buildings, I was a tester for the BF1 gallipoli maps, I'm used to it lol
Would be
aka Offensive
happy lil towers, heavy MGs, paks, bla 
would play, ngl
Good question, maybe these:
- how the tickets are implemented - if local or global (local would give us way more room for following:)
- if there will be some kind of ammo tickets to prevent respawning fully rearmed endlessly
- if, then -** ammo ticket price for non-rifleman/nonSL loadouts**? or ammo ticket price for each used equipment during life?
- removing restriction of 1x ammo box usage per life?
- does revival influence the tickets and how much (any bonus tickets reward for each revival for instance?)
global
yeah but even global ticket system coudl be tied to some local events
I'm using the power of foresight
I hope it's a mix
you overestimate the hll players' intelligence
what intelligence 😄
Whatever you say
Seelow wins
Thank God*
FIFY
And one more critical question about the system @fluid pawn
- what happens when the tickets get depleted? (I hope not a straight victory/defeat, nor imminent)
What else do you want to happen then?
Yes lol
Just make it so a revive does not result in a ticket lost while giving up does
Diplomacy talks between both commanders while the players wait.
auto-losing the active frontline or just unlocking being able to capture it, while the enemy spawnpoints in that area will get disabled for a short while (or doubled the spawn waves timers)
A Christmas Truce, so to say
I'm interested
players get to either eat food or play football.
...could actually see people play football in HLL
no more respawning and the last people have to capture objective or protect til last man
Okay, I can't really follow there because that goes beyond what I know about the game, sorry 😄
@fluid pawn
The most important question: what is the goal of the design of the new game mode and how do the mechanics achieve it.
T17 could sell DLCs with football shirts
(watch certain people ignore this statement where I openly admitted that I'm missing information/knowledge because I never played it 🙂)
guh
Also, with a different gamemode like that, HLL could use a a different system for the sectors - the grid square shaped sectors have been bad it's just one of the bad aspects of HLL though.
or something similar
if the grid squares stay, the gamemode can't be any much different from the already existing ones
This but 100v100
even on that map of mine, not all of them would need to be active at a time - to keep it for 50v50
but the paths to the other side would be different each time
and much more options and much more logical placement restrictions for the garrisons
imagine Westbend strongpoint location for example... horrible - GER can have a garri in the locked territory while still on the SP's doorstep
Idk what u yapping ab
I'd love for the Devs to explain why they think a ticket system will be good in HLL @fluid pawn
Ticket system?
I am yapping about that if we will have a ticket system, the garri placement in relation to the strongpoints needs to be fair, or the game's design will decide ticket drain instead of the teams.
the point is, the sector system dicates the garrison palcement restrictions and the garrison placement in relation to the SPs wil lgreatly influence the team's chances for drainign enemy tickets, hence the map sample
it plays a big role in this, although it may not be that appearent
Medics actually having a point to be there? Punishing mindless meat grinds and asset waste? Reward killing many enemies?
Yeah I understand now
I asked why it will work in HLL
eh, people still redeploy
Metz better
Once again, You've never played the game so I don't expect you to understand how the game works
It would out of necessity. People would simply have to adapt their playstyle.
YESSSSSS SEELOW WONNNN
Looks like the balcans
GOD BLESS
Tickets go completely against Hell Let Loose's gameplay choices
Many probably still would do. Still, that would get punished and experienced players would opt against redeploying too quickly.
I mean, it even works in Battlefield 1's Operations
In HLL, it would probably be more balanced and fair because the defenders also should get tickets imo
Ever considered that you can change those in order to improve the game?
they wont get punished and experienced players will redeploy, cause they think their contribution is more important than waiting - cause in the meantime, less experienced players will waste tickets.
So they also click redeploy 
Have you ever considered playing the game?
They will get punished if they lose. ;)
Yes. Decided against it.
SQ44 had the same trouble, where people just kept redeploying, till the last few tickets were about to run out - then everyone hammered down on the "stay alive/wait for a medic" over and over 😄
You clearly do not understand the design of the game, so stop trying to put out mindless thoughts on it
Yes. So? :D
Maybe you could discuss it in the Sq44 discord with your 15 alt accounts 
You can accuse me of a lot of things, but not using alts :D
And why would I talk about HLL on the Squad 44 Discord :D
people wont adapt, they dont do it in either game 
Then they'll lose the match 🤷♂️
and go back to playing warfare, aye
I kinda don't get the argument "eh, people wouldn't adapt, so let's just stick with a bad system because we're used to it"
If it was for me, every game mode would get tickets :D
It would be cool to mention if there are any planned changes about SPA and Smolensk. Some reflection on the latest changes.
how do we feel about the new dev video?
Tickets are genuinely terrible model for FPS games. They work nicely in something like an RTS but in a 50v50 FPS... Awful awful decision
Didn't watch it, but I'm glad that Seelow won.
eeeehm... I expected more for a video, because nothing there was really showcased, they were just teeling stuff via words and no visuals. Could have been easily a text devBrief instead.
I beleive I mentioned it when the roadmap was initially released, however we are going to continue working on armor and spas as we move through the next roadmap don't worry
Yaaay. The end of my game will be sat in a spawn menu hoping the enemy team bleed tickets
Zzzzz
Yaaay the new player in the game can now mechanically destroy our team accidentally by wasting tickets
Zzzzz
I think this game mode is worse than that trailer they released
9 meetings a day and a lunch
b... but... mortars 🙁
How did a soviet map win over a US/GER map?
Who even plays sthe soviet maps
I hope seelow heights doesn't play like kursk
"Lets give the community a vote but secrectly decide ourselves"
if it does, well... I am looking forward to my MG42's buzzsawing 😄
And here we have the first "noo it's rigged" comment lol
Can't believe people wanted another kursk map instead of a medieval fort map
I wouldnt be surprised man they need to prove there army still good
I voted for Metz
Many people simply didn't want yet another US map
Aka map set in late war France
I only play soviet when I'm AT with rockets
Developers sat there wondering why there's so much negativity in HLL and then they release 26 maps in a row no one enjoys and introduce two gamemodes dead on arrival
I just take the soviet maps outta rotation everyone happy
Can the maps and gamemodes at least come out before you call them bad or dead lol
But another map with no cover and trenches over a map with a medieval fort?
Id rather have Remegan 2 than another soviet map
Tickets = dead
Seelow heights = terrible concept for Hell Let Loose
Don't get me wrong, I get that point. Still, wait until it's out to see how it plays out.
For now, I'd say it's good that the Soviets get more attention
I also think that Conquest will be DOA, but not because of the tickets
I dont think they need attention, if anyone does its the Brits but who wants to play them either lol
Soviets just had Smolensk. Let's at least try to produce a map people might play
Buddy this will be three Soviet maps in a row
do you think the "comp" in comp player stands for "complaining"
That's true there's only 4 soviet maps I just wish they release both so there's no missed content
Pick a soviet map, no fuss, but Seelow heights... It's just Soviet Elsenborn Ridge
Both the British and the Soviets need more attention; and if the British are bad, why not fix that faction? 😄
First Vietnam map will actually be located in Moscow Region in the HLL Universe #NewLore
And it will still be less than the US have if I'm not mistaken.
I played Call of duty world at war, I know Seelow Heights well 
There's only 4 soviet maps in the game
How many of them are actively played compared to the legacy maps
0.2% players play them
They doooo doooo
And 2 out of 4 are unplayable crashfests that all server owners removed from rotation.
Because most people can't run stalingrad and smolensk without performance issues
I enjoy those citys maps because I'm running a 5070
@fluid pawn What was the vote count for each map?
Flex? I also run same 😉
I'd rather play a city map than a map with no cover in an open flat field
Almost identical to the youtube chat one which was wild. around 45:55 to seelow
Defo AI Bots 👀
Our team was split on what we wanted as well so this was all about what the community wanted 🙂
It's going to be great guys dw
You guys really voted for Kursk 2 map first!? Damn...
Were they split on introducing Tickets to HLL?
$100 it was metz lol
When it releases we should get the stats of how many players are actually playing it longer than the first week
Another stutter fest of a map no doubt
Wait are they adding tickets?
https://mattw.io/hll-server-browser/
Scroll to the bottom
Web server browser for Hell Let Loose. Quickly connect to any server. Continually refreshes roughly every 15 seconds.
To the new game mode apparently
DOA. Tells me that Vietnam is going to have a bunch of ticket gamemodes too. Zzzzz
Oh no team17 have done it again
people just cant handle peak
Jokes on you, city maps run worse than open field maps
The salt
You rascal
So T17 is going to make a whole new game mode so the medic role is less useless
Jesus christ
Also, not sure, but I think for games like this, you need a good CPU more than a good GPU
FACTS.
Yet another map to avoid, love it lmao
Thank you tank players
That would be incredibly based
intel core i7 rtx 5070 I recommend these but I came from playing project reality milsim so i only care about performance and not graphics I run my stuff all the way to performance through the nvidia overlay
I think with the current state of things we should all start playing project reality
facts and it got Vietnam and WW2
I'm hoping HLL Vietnam is not a disaster and can run better than HLL
Isn't Project Reality the "father" of Squad?
Yes sir
based
does anyone have the HLL america first discord?
You wouldn’t know buddy.
for the crazies :}
for research
honestly dont blame you
btw i had someone join as supporter in my arty recon squad yesterday
first time, its soooo good
double the flares and building garries while recon hunting
@worthy charm
Nope, people that are tired of US
Thank you T17 for Seelow
there were certainly scripts involved
no one said they actually tooke the result btw :D
It has no reasons to,it is just a big open field
Hopefully it's a good map (it's going to be an open field so...)
And you seriously think Metz would be so much better?
I have no problems on open maps...
As a HLL map? Of course.
Kursk is an awful HLL map
you got to have faith... they will manage
The cycle of life of a HLL player. Play only Am-Ger maps -> Keep saying that there aren't any good Soviet maps -> The devs add a new Soviet map -> No one plays it -> Play only Am-Ger maps
Kursk is better than half of the US maps
Really? What about it makes it a good map?
There are good Soviet maps though
That is a fact brother
Every Soviet map is good and fun
Trenches, I love trenches
Not open maps
Because it's just constant death to MGs, snipers and tanks
Just put trenches everywhere
i avoid smol ensk and stalingrad, just dont wanna play with even lower fps
No American map has the PPSh which makes the Soviet maps superior by default
I requires a slower approach and proper teamwork. The fighting in the trenches and villages is just intense and is truly WW2. It just embraches what makes HLL a great game
slowly teleports behind you
But any semi competent tank crew will just spawn camp tank spawns from the middle of the map, and then perma delete OPs and garrisons from behind the 6 bits of cover available
Isn't that Canadian?
Yes which is under the Commonwealth, AKA Britain.
Behind my trench
Yes, with trenches I hope
And any semi competent team can take these tanks out
goofy hll gameplay, doesnt matter the map, but there's maps more egregious than others
How
Once one team is on top, they just stay there because their tanks don't die
Theres plenty of cover on Kursk too, the problem with the tanks I have on El Alamein
'AT guns'
Easy kills for tanks
The Commonwealth was a combination of multiple nations that fought with Britain with British equipment
They may as well look like British soldiers in game.
Tanks? Precision strikes? Slowly sneaking upon the tanks and satchel them?
kursk sure is more likely to be a stomp
kinda hard to come back once the enemy has set up in the middle
Doesnt matter anyway, people voted and thats the result
The only thing that differentiated them was their division symbols, really.
I could be wrong there 🤷♂️
it doesnt matter because it will also be slow and thus avoided
So when the Germans get on top and dominate the hills, they can just spawn camp tanks.
How do you sneak across an open field?
Precision strikes from the soviets are broken, and from specific directions split into 3 and do not hit anything
I see Kursk quite often though...
kursk isnt slow
Doesn't necessarily mean people like it, though.
Currently 94 players on PC playing Kursk btw
Use the trenches... I wouldnt suggest playing Kursk like SME either
Oh another server just flipped onto it
i like it for a change but it has the potential for disaster more than other maps
Use the trenches against tanks which can splash you for free?
I don't even like SME anyway, so nice argument 🫂
Their uniforms were green instead of brown
Maybe Kursk is fun on a new player friendly milsim server idk
If you adapt to the map youll have no problem. I played Kursk pretty often and I never had serious balance issues
I don't get this argument
How do you 'adapt' to a tank which can just splash every piece of cover on the map for free
There is no adapting, it's just pointless 
he will now say "its supposed to suck"
with your own tanks and at guns ofc
The moment one sides tanks win the initial duels, it's gg
Everything is spawn camped and splashed into oblivion
garbage easy combat and low ttk, and its irreversible consequences.
It is way way way too easy to zone in HLL
they cant camp 3 hq spawns and still splash trenches
'it is a tank dominant map where teamwork prevails'
What
It takes like 16 seconds to kill a tank
but yea it requires at least the same number of tans, as soon as you have even one less its a stomp
Spotter sees tank
Tank turns to shoot tank
Tank dies 16s later and is on a 10 minute cooldown so you can forget about it for a bit
Which fundamentally doesn't work in HLL public servers
Kursk is, without a doubt, the second worst map to be created for HLL
yea thats what i said, its really likely to be one-sided
By far not
PHL is much worse
but then you also dont have good tank crews to camp the enemy often
so its not always unsalvageable
german heavy holding the windmill is just a stalemate since the russian heavy can do the exact same from their HQ. i'd say that the russian is in a better position since the HQ cant be taken out and they wont run out of ammo or repairs
PHL is slightly better because you don't just sit on a big hill and shoot at HQ spawns
Soviets have T34 which is a busted tank too, which is at least a bonus for them
PHL is one of the worst maps in HLL, alongside Remagen and El Alamein
Kursk isnt the best, but not bad either
This doesn't win you any game as the soviets either. And the reverse applies as well anyway
alamein is the worst by a big margin
and im pretty sure that you can shoot the south side of windmills with an AT gun in the far east
El Alamein has essentially all of the same issues as Kursk...
Except no mandatory HQ camping
No, Kursk has way more cover
😐
I honestly think you might have some secret Kursk I don't have access to play on
Maybe, I can pass you a key
Yeah, please. I'd love to be able to regularly enjoy a map released after 2020
There are plenty
Actually Smolensk is fun in pubs
Mortain is fun but rarely played
That's the extent of fun maps released since U7
I'm a mortain enjoyer but I'm a minority there
If you have a good squad and fight in the town area its pretty fun
It's the opposite imo
The fact it has so many bushes really makes seeing enemies annoying.
Kinda like that about that map but hate it at the same time.
Yea but you see it was the first map Expression made
As a certified rat, I enjoy this 🙃
So do I lmao
Great SS smock map to make things even harder for the enemy to see you.
Kursk PHL and El Alamein are perma banned against comp teams with competent armor (mine) the maps aren’t balanced for tanks, and you can rack up 250+ kills on them
Tanks on windmill have more impact on the enemy team, and tanks in HQs are favored to win the duel vs windmills
Because the spawns are filled with houses and debris that don’t render, that you can stick your barrel just over/through and be 99% in cover, with windmills tank not able to see what is exposed
PHL is surprisingly a mixed bag with armor due to low elevation. It’s oppressive but not in the same league
Don't need to explain how comp works to me 😉
Windmill tanks will just sit below ridge line and roll up to delete tanks when relevant. The timers on these are really predictable, so you can just splash spawns for ages and then roll back when the tanks are due
And I don't know a single high tier tank crew that wouldn't look at the map before to learn the ping distances beyond the unrendered houses for know when you can and can't hit the HQ tanks
Besides, the same exact issue occurs when Soviet tanks dominate, which they can as T34 is so good
in comp, each team has their own community logo

In comp, we do comp.
Not really, there are far more worse ones
its okay for me. i just dont like tobruk and smolensk
El Alamein, Tobruk, Kursk
My main 3 disliked maps
Tobruk and Kursk are alright
My most hated are PHL, Foy, El Alamein
carentan my beloved
Foy and utah I like the rest of them
don't you touch my Foy!
Foy is great
False
false that your false
Right I forgot Utah
Foy's a banger, especially with snow storms.
Utah is disgusting
I will replace El Alamein with Utah
I like all normandy maps
Omaha on the other hand 😘
Even that isnt that good
It is
There are a lot of unique buildings
And the beach section is real cool
The big trench networks
Utah is badly designed, the side midPoints favour 1 side way too much with also asset nonDestructible razor wire, while the only open objective in the mid (Chapel) greatly favours the US with the strongpoint's positioning
Most Normandy maps are just boring and overplayed imo
Yes overplayed but not boring
Well they would be since they are the oldest maps 😂
They are boring because they are overplayed
I have to admid Smolensk is becoming my favorite map
Naturally would feel overplayed if we've had them for 5 years
It's horrible
Can't even play it without lagging like crazy
I have no problems with it
And I hate the yellowish tone it has
I like it, but it lags
Yea but I have seen them way too often even though we got new maps
Same, the layout is cool , but I cant enjoy the games
Youre not one of those weird console players tho
Doesn’t matter if windmill knows there’s debris, spawn tanks have a license to pin windmill down indefinitely and will always win trades. One heavy holding an unrendered spawn angle makes windmill irrelevant for spawn killing
Just read the dev diary
'long requested ticket system'
My guy. Ticket system has been stated just over 600 times on this discord in 7 years, of which most people are stating how it doesn't work across other games and doesn't suit this one
I'd love to know the research and discussions had by the dev team @fluid pawn
Copy battlefield
Tell me you've never played comp at a high level without telling me
Meanwhile no actual balance changes or fixes. They don't even know why allied tanks are so strong
they checked in randomly one day, saw a discussion about tickets, then assumed it was wanted
actually and hilariously out of touch
🫂
🙇
Which comp team do you play for? You brought up comp first 🫂
TL until dissolution, now PF
And you?
WTH
🫂
Yes, thank god
El Alamein, PHL, Utah, Driel kinda sucks too,...
Does that matter? I wouldnt say so
wait theres bad performance on smolensk for others too?
Kursk is alright, you have plenty of trenches you can use for cover, factions are relatively balanced,...
Driel?
Utah?
I get PHL tho
Terrible map
it would be nice if we got italian campaign maps
it needs sharks
Driel is better than Remagen but still too open and the river makes flanks impossible unless you wanna get shot at. Its pretty flat too
L96A1 bane of my existence
hahaha, controller aiming so bad, why not make it even worse with vibration
Utah is too flat, too empty, and I just played it too many times. I just dont enjoy it because its too vanilla
The British guns are more fun than most American ones
@dim snow british weapons so bad that they had to outsource an American-designed gun for their service this year
When I play as the US I only use the Garand because the others suck
i think the british army would have a better time using kitchen knives as their primary service weapon
And the USMC uses German made guns, so...
yeah so? germany makes good guns
also we made the AR15 platform and the 1911
*the best
its simply preference
nah switzerland makes the highest quality rifles
Stoner was heavily inspired by a certain German gun
Stoner was a prototype
Swiss guns are overrated and outdated too
it was not used in favor of the m60

The SIG 550 / PE 90 (Sturmgewehr 90) is widely regarded as one of the finest service rifles ever issued — not because it chased trends, but because it...
i cant wait for this game
It has a good quality but is already 40 years old
The Swiss neutrality raises and ruins the quality of their army at the same time
For that I love my Leo 2 too much
Challenger is second for me
As long as its not a "T" tank its ok
these teams make me so mad that i decided to take a shower
Depends on the server and time of the day, nowadays I often get surprisingly good teams
Though I had a really bad one yesterday
telling all my plumbers brothers to get it
Same, something like 22-24:00 on a weekend day, and then certain German servers
Yesterday I played at 17:00 and had one of the worst teams ever
are they
well its a friday so im looking forward to seeing all the chads coming out of the woodwork tn
oh console... no idea then
Normal here, I joined a French server and was kicked despite I tried to speak le baguette
what did you expect
It has gotten better over the years but they often still speak little English
even if they do they often dont want to
thats a lie :D
and what countries are liked ?
True, but especially the British and Germans, Italians too
i lived there for a year
hahaha
Germans are the worst
i supposedly have german ancestry
(i still have some reservations about french, but its mostly inconsequential manners, other countries are also bad:)
Ngl with the new maps t17 was talking about I thought we were getting both, didn’t realise they would short change us with a ‘community vote’ but in all honestly the new maps are just gonna make the game unplayable on console again so the sensible thing would to not add anything and don’t make it anymore broken
I never heard anyone ever be mad about the Spanish
Except maybe when Sparta is an idiot again
:}
well i could tell you
but no one is ever talking about them so yea :D
we do talk about mexico tho :}
M*xico
@nova pivot
i mean... every country where you go to holiday to does, no?
What happens
Look above
we are talking about mexicans
Flop you
Flop me
the worst
Also its not even a wurst, people use everything for currywurst thats a wurst
God damn it im to scared to be tank commander because the whole team relyes on them
huh
Depends, I dont get it
Woah I think these times are thankfully gone
some wurst are the worst
Ok that was funny
Im saying that its not always the same kinds of sausage for currywurst, whilst white sausages are always white sausages
Ahhh yep
Thats sad
I always recommend small local breweries over the big ones
No decent lager there
Yep
Those Germans who know know
Warsteiner is also kinda a meme here
That is good
Brock Lesnar
can we somehow ban Akame user?
It's not too late to make juno on June 6th instead of 7
With the amount of alt accounts they have, not really
Not sure why they specifically went with that
could just be like the other beach maps where there is the landings for offensive and beachhead for warfare
They just dont want to have to make an LCA model
Do settings still randomly reset?
yes
@novel geyser maybe it'll be like omaha offensive/warfare is now with 2 slightly different maps depending on the date
But then they'd have to make LCAs
what is the least amount work we have to do to get another map in
what can we reskin
do we even need to reskin
Can never let people enjoy their hopium, can you?
hopium tanks been dry for a long time, so what are they huffing
Every now and again I find a calcified chunk at the bottom of the tank
Chum is on the hate streak...been there done that
I've been listening to him for 6 years, he's a good dude, I get the frustration
i just want you all to know that if i run into you and your wearing winter camo in summer maps i will team kill the living === out of you infact if anyone wears a historical incorrect uniform im teamkilling you too i just dont care anymore
not hate. I'm not emotionally invested in this game
By the way it was kind of funny how the man emphasised the historic accuracy and authenticity of the next vehicle types and skins in the video while I was thinking of SPAs...
im eating spagetti tonigt
lovely
When's food
Im gonna be new to the 1440 scene, is it gonna be a better experience or is it gonna be hardly noticeable visually? I’ve been playing 1080p for a longgg while
Boys run, is the fun police
👍 🤣
apparently its one of the biggest helping factors when playing HLL 
...or at least people who have it on 1440 dont want to go back
im not going back ^
DAY 76
GIVE ME A DATE FOR HELL LET LOOSE VIETNAM ❤️ 
so
where the hell is pps43
Floppa
.... huh?


TUff
xd
there's a fine line between funny gifs and gif spam
Gif lover here
is oceania servers active on pc
Guys, ENOUGH
There are a handful
what happened?
Gif spam
how many servers
I don't know off hand 😅 I don't play on those. Maybe like 5-10 for Australia? I know there are some Japanese. Maybe 5-10 also
Did you shoot at polarbear With a 88?
Based
Hoppla
Holy 2016
new map what time are coming
Italy?
I want italy
ı want more soviet
We dont know yet.
how can ı get nkvd hat in the game
Based
You cant
whyyy
That cosmetic was never released I think
in real life ı had one nkvd hat but in gamee ım cryin
And its an NKVD uniform, it makes no sense in a historical perspective, this is a war game and not a war crime game
in this game has nazis
ew
The eastern front was the biggest and most important front of the war. It deserves more than four maps
Dont say that, it always leads to the worst kind of situations.
Its a fact. People who deny that have no idea of the dimension and the importance of the eastern front
It makes sense in Stalingrad
Yea, but they arent even soldiers
But they have weapons
And kill Germans
While speaking russian and charging for comrade Stalin
The NKVD cosmetic will never be released anyway
I think it either never was released or just pretty limited
i dont think angry, yapping americans is the worst, i think its funny
I think it was given to the initial supporters
Indeed, the yankies are much worse when they say murica did everything
The ones that donated money
americans should've properly liberated europe and given us the 2nd amendment though
Why
im jealous of them having all the funs
Fair
damn this escalated quickly
Y’all never talk about those stories tho
🤣
Calm down
