[hoary spruce]

Welcome to HLL! Take this as you may.

Murphy's Laws of Combat
(For HLL)

1. If the enemy is in range, so are you.
2. Incoming fire has the right of way.
3. Don't look conspicuous, it draws fire.
4. There is always a way.
5. The easy way is always mined.
6. Try to look unimportant, they may be low on ammo.
7. Teamwork is essential, it gives them someone else to shoot at.
8. The enemy diversion you have been ignoring will be the main attack.
9. A "sucking chest wound" is natures way of telling you to slow down.
10. If your attack is going well, you have walked into an ambush.
11. Never draw fire, it irritates everyone around you.
12. Anything you do can get you shot, including nothing.
13. Make it tough enough for the enemy to get in and you won't be able to get out.
14. Never share a foxhole with anyone braver than yourself.
15. If you are short of everything but the enemy, you are in a combat zone.
16. When you have secured an area, don't forget to tell the enemy.
17. Friendly Fire Isn't.

And Enjoy!

can a pistol effectively kill people in close range?

but pistol seems to have a hard time

[lean orchid]

Two-three shots. It's not bad, but you REALLY need to hit your target. Every miss hurts lol

Plus of course a head shot is a one shot.

Hey all! Been playing this game off and on for awhile. Just joined this discord. How would I go about finding a group to do armor squad with? My regular crew isn't a fan of tanks haha. I see the LFG channel. Then friend up and hop in game together?

[stark moon]

don't even need to friend up just decide on a server + side to join + hope there's a tank slot avail + join.. but yes #pc-looking-for-unit would be the spot to do it in

might take some time to find a server with an open tank slot.... or just play out the match till its over then be quick on choosing a tank squad (best chance of getting one is obv at the very very start of a match)

[eternal bridge]

Awesome thanks! Sounds like I'll just dive right in. Can't be any harder than snagging a recon slot

satchel isn't a one directional explosion.. it has a HUGE AOE.. so anyone in that building was also killed

[lean orchid]

Yup

[stark folio]

imagine spawncamping

do ppl do it for the exp? just run to the enemy's spawn and just sit there all game, doing nothing?

[sweet cliff]

HLL is a game that boils down to building and defending your spawns, and destroying the enemy spawns, that's how you sustain more average up time than the enemy which is how you sustain more cap weight than the enemy to either defend your point or capture theirs.

Part of that is artillery is super powerful and can't be destroyed and it's at center HQ, so the only way to stop people from using it is to sit there and shoot them off of it.

[stark folio]

no yeah i know that, but i wanna know why ppl hold base spawn

we havent fired arty all game, neither have they

its just wack to me

[sweet cliff]

Do you have any other spawns or is everyone spawning at HQ?

[stark folio]

we have 3/5 almsot 4/5

and its just this ONE guy staying back

[sweet cliff]

Beats me, maybe he wants to shoot tank crew to keep them off the field.

Or people who want supply trucks/etc.

[stark folio]

we dont even spawn tank there, its always on the sides, im confused asf

[valid vigil]

just building. we train to become the best builders in the world

you see the chinese wall? it was built by the HLL kickstarter patrons

On Xbox it was known as "Iron Vanguard"

I can't find it anymore though.

[hoary spruce]

Interesting...

[dawn widget]

Can you self host a server or is it only through providers?

[lean orchid]

It's the "Silver Vanguard" on PC.

If my memory serves me correctly, the DLC was only available through purchase of a special edition of the console version

Something that cost an extra five or ten dollars.

[hoary spruce]

That's right. He was asking about the console version that's why I pointed out it was the Iron Vanguard. The special edition seems to be gone now though.

[sweet cliff]

Only through specific providers

[coarse canopy]

If it is at all linked with the soviet content then yes, those DLC’s were omitted from console update due to Russia conflict. T17 did not want to be seen as making profit from such things in the current climate. That was the line given anyway.

[regal matrix]

Can anyone explain why I got booted from the recon class? I’m new to the game and don’t understand the ins and outs of it all.

[sweet cliff]

Someone probably joined as the spotter (recon squad lead) and removed you from the squad

[stark moon]

First person to join is considered the spotter/squad lead for the two person recon squad.. they either were making room for someone else or were poopyheads

[regal matrix]

Didn’t know you could do that. That’s kinda annoying, I was 65-7 k/d. Went down hill usin an m1 grand

[stark moon]

Yeah in recon squads only the second to join is the sniper w/ the scope.

[regal matrix]

Sniper is all I’m good at but keep gettin booted

[sweet cliff]

Well, if you have no spotter you probably don't have a good OP, and if you don't have a good OP that's a waste of the recon squad, but also sometimes people are just jerks, or people want to play with their friends

[stark moon]

seems like a good excuse to try a new class!

@sweet cliff here didn't become the single greatest HLL player the world has ever seen by sticking to just one class.. he had to master all of them

[dusk gate]

I dont know where to ask this, but this is the closest to the topic i could get. I am kinda new and a ww2 fanatic. As soon as i saw it, i wanted it. The "NKVD-uniform". I knew it was a kickstarter dlc, which i sadly missed. Is there any way, no matter how, to obtain the NKVD uniform now? I would even buy it if it would cost 50$.

[autumn rose]

currently not

[dusk gate]

Definetly not? Not even if i would pay 100 to get the kickstarter bundle afterwards? It says "Can be unlocked with the "No retreat" dlc...

[sweet cliff]

They have been pretty consistent with their messaging that the kickstarter was its own thing, it's over and if you did not participate at the time that you can't receive the rewards for it.

[dusk gate]

The devs confirmed it themselves that the NKVD uniform will never come back?🥺

[acoustic dock]

Actually, what about a Closed alpha guys? I supported game from first stages, but didn't get nothing

[sweet cliff]

I have no idea on that, but if something was a kickstarter reward, don't ever expect to be able to get it if you weren't a kick starter.

[dusk gate]

I wish i would have known the game at the time the kickstarter bundle was available.😭 I remember when the NKVD Hat said "Can be unlocked during twitch drops" any ideas on that?

[acoustic dock]

Wait for Devs podcast

I require a cool stuff for Closed alpha guys, cuz i've played actually a lot of matches in 2019 and they took a key, so i had to buy a game once more lol

I lost 15/20 Euros xDD

[dusk gate]

When and where would they announce twitch drops? i dont want to miss it...

Please DM Corex about these matters, or Spono. All the keys were send out to the backer emails, if by chance you did not get them, there was the advice from a long time ago to send an email to [e-mail] with the subject line "Oh Hell, No Key". But, send a DM first id say.

Try joining on a community server on joining a squad tell them you’re a NEW using (Mic and Headset) player. Most HLL players will help you to understand the game and how to play and guide you.

[wooden mirage]

any tips for simply not seeing the enemy from long range?

I'm clearly visible to them but I have absolutely no clue

other than looking lol

[strong oracle]

Learning how to control recoil like @void venture said is important for most, if not all FPS games on pc, especially Ready Or Not and Ground Branch

[tender plank]

is there a way to do that like a firing range thats offline where you can practice and learn all the load outs and vehicles without being in an online lobby?

[elfin blaze]

No

[tender plank]

daum ive moved over from squad and that system helped alot with learning the ins and out

[wooden mirage]

empty server could work

[tender plank]

yeah but you can only select team leader roles if none have been created so you cant learn how to shoot say the anti tank

or try out sniper role since its prety impossible to get a slot on it XD HDD life

[void venture]

For HLL, to practice your recoil you can just hop into any server, head over to a wall and then just spray trying to get them as close together as possible

You can do it from any range as well that way

[wooden mirage]

Ohh okay

[elfin blaze]

Here, a full guide:
https://youtu.be/M0wTm1nFTm8

[tender plank]

yeah iv watched him alot its one thing watching and another thing doing, was just thinking a private firing range would be handy af to learn that stuff with out wasting your teams time shooting at a wall for half the match to learn how to get semi accurate with it every time

just a thought will still love the game either way

[pallid perch]

how the hell does the recon plane work? Which classes can see it? Squad lead and support? I swear ive seen it before on other classes

Is it like. Proximity to an outpost? Garrison? A support? An SL?

[strong oracle]

Commander can call in the recon plane, a set time later after the initial call in the recon plane goes up and lights up all the enemy infantry on the map in a straight line that I believe is 200m wide in whichever direction the commander chooses, believe only squad leads and commander can see the marks

[pallid perch]

Supports can too

but i swear other classes can aswell i just dont know what the conditions are

I remember being an engineer and seeing it i just dont know how

[strong oracle]

Maybe recon squads but I doubt the engineer would need to see the marks at all

[pallid perch]

my point being. Unless im being schizophrenic. Other classes can see it too and i do not know what the conditions are

[strong oracle]

Apparently you can hide under objects and block yourself from the enemy recon plane but I don’t know how reliable that is

[sweet cliff]

Only support squad lead commander spotter sniper tank commander crew man see the recon plane

But the entire team sees the spotter flares and I believe they also see the recon vehicle camera

[coarse canopy]

Not sure about objects. Buildings for sure.

[strong oracle]

A building is a large object

[coarse canopy]

Can’t say I’ve ever hidden under a building but yeah, same same

[strong oracle]

You can hide in it dumb dumb

[coarse canopy]

In it, under it. Object, building. Different words different meaning but yeah, with further context it can all be lumped together

[strong oracle]

You’re a sore loser but a loser nonetheless

[coarse canopy]

Not sore at all. Hiding under an object could be anything. There’s plenty of overhead defilade that isn’t specifically a building, nor would I presume a building was an ‘object’ unless suggested otherwise

[strong oracle]

“a material thing that can be seen and touched”, definition of “object”

[sweet cliff]

I don't think recon shows up on the recon plan either

No need to engage in slap fights go hop on an empty server and test you two

[coarse canopy]

In that case literally anything in-game, or in life, is an object 🙄

Pull out the dictionary all you like. 99% of the population call a building a building. Not an object.

[strong oracle]

We typically call buildings “structures” but regardless of your semantics they are undoubtedly objects

[sweet cliff]

Look at all this time you're wasting when you could just link up and verify

Well maybe not one of you appears to be a console player

[coarse canopy]

Structures cover a wider range of things. A node is a structure but it won’t give you cover from a recon plane. But sure, you win buddy 👌

[strong oracle]

Yes, I do

[coarse canopy]

It’s all good. I’ve had confirmation of buildings hiding enemies from recon planes. The guys just being weird about language

[coarse canopy]

I see the sarcasm was lost. Maybe next time.

[tall orchid]

gebatron has a video covering this

[unkempt storm]

Megatron?

[void venture]

I’m wondering if trees would work cos technically they’d have an overhead hit box won’t they?

[coarse canopy]

I haven’t tested but I don’t think that’s the case otherwise recon would be useless on maps like Hurtgen Forest. Which isn’t the case, infantry show up ok.

[void venture]

Hmmm

Perhaps

It’d probably be a rare case

Question: could it be that the PTRS-41 anti tank weapon is kinda bad?

Panther = 16 shots (from behind), 5 to destroy the engine
Luchs = 10 shots (from behind), 4 to destroy engine
Puma = 6 shots (from behind), 3 to destroy engine
Panzer 4 = not tested, but I think it is inbetween the Panther and Luchs
Idk if every information is up to date

So yeah, if compared to the other AT weapons in this game it has very low damage, but it has an incredible range

[sweet cliff]

You get enough ammo to destroy 2 tigers in one life and you can also track just about any tank you can see

[valid vigil]

my officer is staring into your soul

[candid drift]

Is there any reason at all to play rifleman?

[sweet cliff]

Extra smokes extra frags, explosive ammo, semi auto as the german, all depends on the loadout and faction

[unkempt storm]

Not if you’re a woman

[west hedge]

No

[sweet cliff]

It's a not role limited way to get smokes, depending on how many people you have and what's going on there's reasons to take it sometimes

[dawn widget]

Explosive ammo?

[sweet cliff]

Some of the rifleman loadouts get the explosive ammo box which can be nice

[dawn widget]

Oh

I thought you meant ammo that explodes

[unkempt storm]

😂😂😂

[dusk berry]

Hello everyone

[candid drift]

Does dying and respawning cost anything for your team?

[narrow panther]

It costs manpower

[strong oracle]

Realistically no, die and respawn without thinking of it

[sweet cliff]

In a more abstract sense time spent in the deploy menu is not time spent in a cap zone and loses your team objectives

[strong oracle]

^

[sweet cliff]

Or it means losing spawns or dying on the way to build new ones

If you're way out I'm the middle of nowhere doing nothing constructive sometimes death is good because it gets you back in a productive area, sometimes death has massive team crushing implications, just depends

[strong oracle]

Agreed, having one less soldier fighting costs way more than whatever negligible price it costs to respawn

[unkempt storm]

So medics matter

It’s settled

[strong oracle]

Medic lives matter

[sweet cliff]

Well no medics are near entirely useless

[unkempt storm]

If deaths have massive team crumbling implications though

[unkempt storm]

MLM

[strong oracle]

[sweet cliff]

We've all had this argument before but while of course there are edge cases where medics are useful but in general waiting to be revived and missing a spawn cycle is more harmful than tapping out and respawning unless you have no spawns or no good spawns in which case it isn't that medics are good it's that your team is bad and should get better spawns

There's some definite utility in some parts of the game like defending on offensive

[strong oracle]

Or rushing a point or when you’re trying to set up a flanking garrison and your SL or supports goes down, medic can save the day

[sweet cliff]

But something being not useful should never stop someone if their goal is to have fun it's a video game that's the point

[unkempt storm]

My only goal is to lead my fellow brethren to supreme victory, no matter the cost can I get a 10-4

[strong oracle]

10-4 good buddy

[unkempt storm]

10-4

[candid drift]

I read the rifleman costs less manpower than the other classes. Is this a valid reason to use it if you are just going to die a lot, or should we always just use the best possible class?

[coarse canopy]

The cost of manpower per death is mostly irrelevant, even with minimal resource generation. It just doesn’t really affect the game enough to matter.

As for roles, choose whatever is best for the situation.

[valid vigil]

Rifleperson. Personpower!!!

[strong oracle]

Dear lord

[unkempt storm]

To be specific, the cost of each:

But as mentioned, you never really run out of manpower or run low enough for it to make a meaningful difference

^assuming they haven’t changed these values since U9

[strong oracle]

Your team would need to take extreme losses for a long period of time to make a difference tbh

[latent halo]

Could mean difference between encouraged proc on a rrs gain

[unkempt storm]

Unlikely

[north sand]

I have experience 0 manpower atleast 3 times now

[analog geyser]

Where do you report hackers?

[sweet cliff]

Generally to the server admins so they can look into it, without a steam ID and evidence can't do much

If it's on an official server not much you can do there either

sorry wrong chat

There is some seriously sussy stuff going on In The Line right now. lol

[hasty tinsel]

no supporters mess hall tho, joke wasn't worth it 😔

[sweet cliff]

Even if it's something you can determine just off video alone like speed hacking you'd need the associated steam ID, not just their player name

They investigated him and said he wasn't hacking

Huge L for the Line. Really sad

[sweet cliff]

Well they have better tools to determine that, like admin cam and kill logs.

[analog geyser]

Yes. Look at his score. He was playing MG and this was the first point of Offensive. Don't even try to tell me that's normal.

Soon as people started to ask admins to look into it, he stopped getting kills. 🤔

[sweet cliff]

I don't know what to tell you, I have no insider knowledge on the match, I just know that admin cam and kill logs are a better tool to investigate that kind of stuff than getting killed.

[unkempt storm]

it's high, but not impossible on omaha I'd say

could have switched from AT, etc

[worn socket]

why do servers even show up if its 90/100 with reserve slots full

[sweet cliff]

Full is a complicated question and the browser has no way to know if you have VIP access to a server or not

[worn socket]

why not another slot to show reserve slots

the top like 20 servers are all above 90 but not full but you can't even join because they all use reserve slots that are always full

[sweet cliff]

The screens a bit confusing but when you see something like 6/2 for VIPs you should read that (AFAIK) as 6 VIPs currently on with 2 reserved so as long as there are 98 or fewer people on you can still join

[worn socket]

20 might be an embellishment, but its still quite a bit of servers

[sweet cliff]

But people who have VIP would probably be annoyed if the browser told them a server was full but it really isn't

[golden stone]

Hi all, quick question: If you happen to be kicked by an admin for any reason, do you then lose all the XP you would have gained from that match?
I was just kicked by an admin with 5 minutes remaining from the full 90 minutes (which I had played from the start) in order to quote "make room for other players"

[sweet cliff]

You earn XP as you go but of course you're missing out on any end of round bonuses

[golden stone]

we were going to lose anyway so no loss of winning bonuses lol but good to know, glad I didn't waste an hour and a half of my life 😂

Most HLL players are helpful if you have questions, if your squad leader doesn’t talk to you move to another squad. This game is a marathon, not a sprint , tactics and patience will win games assuming you have enough garrisons

I've got youtube tutorials telling me they don't disappear when land is taken, they do now.
also got tutorials telling me the further they are from the HQ the more resources they produce, which also isn't true anymore

[sweet cliff]

That's a change from over a year ago not 5 months.

[slate breach]

engineer tutorials are like a 70/30 shot of just being horribly out of date or basically telling you to not bother and only play engineer for the mines

[valid vigil]

Make sure to place garrisons in open fields so your teammates know where it is

but here I am, electrician irl, grunt in-game, complaining because it's more fun

[uncut jasper]

Based, welcome 🤝

[sweet cliff]

You don't really need to know much about nodes other than they're destroyed when a sector is lost, generate +10 per minute regardless of where placed and the team can have a total of 3 each, an engineer can only build 1 of each type

[slate breach]

I honestly think this game just needs a proper tutorial

[next oasis]

nah

go to objective zone
Kill
dont get killed

[slate breach]

I joined an empty server to learn the game and didn't learn how to do anything that an FPS player wouldn't already knows

I mean clearly my fault for not joining with a full team of friends, so we could all swap roles, but how was I supposed to know

I thought HLL was like Enlisted, where you'd have theater-specific campaigns with their own factions and maps, and you'd just matchmake in one

[uncut jasper]

Gonna completely honest with you, pimp, all of the roles except like commander and engineer are focused solely on killing. It really isn't much deeper than that. SL just kills while putting down spawns. They have something like campaigns slated for the future, but uh... I'm not sure how they're going to do that just yet. It looks like it'll just be similar to Operations from BF1

I came from CoD and BF btw, and this game doesn't feel much different

[next oasis]

there's nothing about HLLs wonky game pacing that is going to lend itself positively to any sort of "campaign mode".

Wildly out-of-touch devs here. Play the game and they'd know

[slate breach]

I would be fine with campaigns only for the reason that sometimes I just really want to play one particular faction, but don't want the RNG on some servers

with how matchmaking currently is however, campaigns are going to be a fantastical dumpsterfire

[next oasis]

The only indication that we've gotten for this apparently upcoming gamemode is that it won't be a consistent faction, but more of a 'fightin' 'round the world' kinda deal.
That makes even less sense as far as consistency goes.

There's nothing about 'campaign' anything that's going to work well. And the game doesn't even need it. They're being weird about it. It's a pipe dream that they can't seem to get rid of.

[sweet cliff]

What rng? Unless there's a soft crash you always alternate between factions

When the map changes

[next oasis]

I didn't even think about consoles being involved either, this is going to be a mess and a half

[tall orchid]

it’s a stupid idea

[next oasis]

They're just trying to ride RO/2s coattails (again)

[slate breach]

it's just massive whiplash going from Eastern Front to Late-War France, back to Omaha Beach, and then right back to Stalingrad

which Stalingrad I feel like really suffers from how big-small it is

[sweet cliff]

That's just map rotations, there's a reason they're varied and not chronological, but there's nothing stopping anyone from making their own server and doing whatever rotation they want

[tall orchid]

i tried a chronological map rotation one time, I almost got lynched

[unkempt storm]

[hasty glen]

i only have 3 empty servers showing up is this normal??

[sweet cliff]

You're on the public testing version, install the normal version

[lucid tulip]

remove the grey film, at long ranges, and increase render range for those who want it. its not real fog, and it just makes the game look washed out and grey for no reason than i assume limit long range shots.

[signal harness]

while ignoring what made RO2 great

[next oasis]

there's such great contrast between HLL and RO2 when it comes to feeling like a ww2 game. RO2 evokes WW2s setting so much more effectively than HLL.
Strip HLL of its WW2 visuals and you get something that is almost otherworldly; it's incredibly disconnected to the war that it's supposedly representing, the gameplay is so foreign to the conflict.

[signal harness]

It feels like planetside 2, with the zerging and spawn bombing

[next oasis]

RO2s player density was so much better done despite having 36 players less at capacity compared to HLL

[unkempt storm]

sounds dense

good one drew

[next oasis]

stage left

[signal harness]

[slate breach]

there's a couple of ways to approach that I suppose

either increase the density of HLL, or increase the density of HLL

it always feels like we're a minor skirmish between like 30 people on each side, not full on armies with whole divisions attacking/defending

[sweet cliff]

I'm pretty sure they're maxed out on the number of players they can support and they've been married to the current map size for years, there's no indication either of those things will ever change.

You can play offensive though it tends to concentrate the players in a way warfare doesn't

[molten isle]

will this game get a japan expansion some day?

[quasi nova]

I think it was because you were funnelled through a much more narrow map in comparison to HLL where you've got a lot more ground to move around on. Disregarding tank maps of course.

[unkempt storm]

No mention either way

[keen radish]

Why is one of the garrisons on the map GREEN?

what does green signify? that is was placed by a squad member?

[sweet cliff]

All garrisons are green unless they're locked by an enemy

[keen radish]

ah!

is there a keybinding to temporarily mute leadership?

[sweet cliff]

Solid red = can't spawn because the enemy is too close, green with a red ! means the enemy is close (50m I think?)

[sweet cliff]

No

[sweet cliff]

Red zone garries lock at 100m, blue zones lock at 15 or some small number like that which is why you'll see people get so mad about poorly placed red zone garries

[neon finch]

Most garries are placed poorly.
People love dropping them directly on the hard point, which is almost as bad as not having a garrison in the first place.

[sweet cliff]

It's worse most of the time because it prevents you from building a better one which cascades, incredibly easy to find and it's going to be getting artied constantly

[slate breach]

A good garry is placed in a way that you can't see it at all, or it blends into the environment, after that, spacing it so you have one garry within like 50-100m of the map edge is ideal

I personally like dropping them in the rough shape of a Colonel's eagle insignia, just because it keeps it simple

[brave ruin]

True

[olive yarrow]

Question: do you still earn xp even when you leave a game early?

[sweet cliff]

Yes

You just don't earn any end of round bonuses, but I don't believe those apply to class xp, just player level xp (class xp is what matters since it unlocks loadouts)

[olive yarrow]

ok

thanks

[sweet cliff]

You earn class xp as you go, so you can unlock new loadouts in the middle of a round

[neon finch]

That's one way to say "I have no idea what I'm talking about."

[neon finch]

A good defensive garrison is placed 50-100m behind the point in a location with lots of cover & concealment with multiple routes of access to the point you want to defend. Outposts should be placed directly on the hardpoint.
Garrisons are backup spawns/spawns for repositioning, not primary spawns.
People don't seem to understand this.

For offensive garrisons you want to triangulate the point.
Garrisons should be placed roughly 120-150m away from the hardpoint(Garrisons lock at 100m in hostile territority).

[neon finch]

[buoyant bobcat]

[neon finch]

Kept building defensive garrisons on the attacking side of the point too.

[buoyant bobcat]

same problem with some console commanders

[neon finch]

Console I kinda let it slide, they've had the game less than a year.

I don't play console, but they're still learning the game.

Is there any practice modes to explore the maps and get familiar with things?

[sweet cliff]

And only work as spawns when parked with the engine off, they also don't block garrison placements and they don't lock in enemy territory at 100m like a garrison

[minor moss]

@grim monolith Use your mic, ask folks ingame. People are quite helpful on servers that says "Beginners" etc.

"beginner" servers are absolutely terrible to play for the first time.

If the commander and SLs dont know what they are doing you will not have a fun time and generally youll get a negative view of the game because of it

[grim monolith]

[wind raptor]

Oh ok

[dawn widget]

Yes.

[pure flower]

Some of the best options, least for when I started, was to join a friendly clan that helped me learn the game. My first game I jumped into a tank and two guys taught me what to do, then a few games later I met a clan member who was a sl. He gave us directions and it really helped. So I would find a clan that offers training and is willing to help you out. Also, most clans will "commendate" the lowest of levels after a game to help players level up.

[grim monolith]

sounds good but gotta find where these clans are

@west hedge

werent you supposed to get kicked ?

[west hedge]

why

[dawn widget]

any tips for starting out besides not dying?

[lucid fjord]

communication is key, listen to your officers

[quasi nova]

Always be prepared to get shot in the most unlikely of circumstances.

[lucid fjord]

if you're not sure if that blob 200 meters away is an enemy, it definitely is, and you're already dead from thinking about it

and if the question is "should I build a garrison?" the answer is always yes

[next oasis]

Just move to the objective and shoot any enemy on the way there. It's not complicated at all

And tell your noob SL to place down an OP, cause I know he hasn't put one down yet.

[dawn widget]

i keep spawning the dying with in 30 seconds

[slate breach]

well, I would follow the mantra of Uncle Max, scurry, sniff, flinch

[sweet cliff]

TTK is low, so if people can see you there's a good chance you're just going to die, especially since it's easy to see movement in this game, just kind of how it is.

So you have to do something to change that, either out shoot them, approach from an angle they aren't looking, or put yourself somewhere and let them come to you

[void venture]

Move slow, it’ll make you harder to see
if there’s arty hitting a spawn point you’ve just spawned at and it’s still there when you respawn, don’t spawn on it again, find another spawn that’s close by

[cinder gate]

hi guys, I was looking to buy a mil sim that gives the feeling being a part of massive battles like battlefield but I am pretty new to the genre. And I found out about Hell Let Loose, Squad and Arma 3. Any thoughts?

[next lava]

Yes, yes, and yes.

[frank bolt]

hell let loose and squad are more action packed

arma has alot more larp elements

[sweet cliff]

Don't let other people's descriptions mislead you, HLL is a good in its context, but it is in no way a milsim

[frank bolt]

yep HLL has a identity issue rn

[cinder gate]

arma 3 seems more pve focused and much more mods dependant. So i will stick with either HLL or Squad but I can only buy one

which one should i buy?

[frank bolt]

both are decent choices

[sweet cliff]

You're the only one who can determine what kind of game is fun for you, HLL falls much more on the arcadey side of the spectrum than a game like ArmA, I know squad is in between them somewhere but I haven't played enough of it to tell you exactly where

[cinder gate]

my main concerns are active player count and english speaking servers

[sweet cliff]

What region do you live in?

[cinder gate]

South Asia

[sweet cliff]

English speaking servers might be an issue for you, do you get a decent ping to Australia maybe?

[cinder gate]

its a slow paced game so i am willing to play on mid-high ping in Eu/Na servers

[sweet cliff]

You can refund the game if you have less than 2 hours, you can always get it and see if there's servers with an acceptable ping for you, there's definitely west coast NA servers

[cinder gate]

as long as active playerbase and english comms

[sweet cliff]

https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/hll

[frank bolt]

BigD Australian Servers are the ones for you ❤️

[cinder gate]

ohk

[sweet cliff]

A lot of NA servers host on the east coast so EU players can play, but there's Australia, there's EU of course, BigD runs 4 servers for instance

[cinder gate]

I have heard HLL is more immersive but Squad is more mil sim

[sweet cliff]

World wide though the player base is larger than it's ever been (there's been a small dip but the last update came out in July, so you normally see a big spike around updates)

HLL has low TTK, people confuse that with mil sim, but it's mostly a game that revolves around building and defending spawns (each squad has a spawn only they can use, then there's several types of team spawns)

[cinder gate]

in your opinion which game would u recommend to someone who is completely new to mil sim

[sweet cliff]

https://steamcharts.com/app/686810

If you want 'mil sim' HLL isn't that

HLL is in the same genre as ArmA in the sense that they're both a FPS, that's it.

[cinder gate]

I mainly want to feel like i am a part of a huge battlefield with cinematic moments and stuff

like watching players fight at a distance, tanks getting destroyed and stuff

[sweet cliff]

Well it's 50v50, there's some different commander abilities, there's tanks, there's artillery, watch some game play footage on youtube or twitch

[cinder gate]

yeah i like the gameplay a lot from what i have seen in youtube

[sweet cliff]

Well you've got 2 hours to play it in and refund it if you don't like it, but read the new players guide (pinned in here) before you jump into a match

[cinder gate]

ok

[sweet cliff]

it's from Update 10, we're on update 12, but the differences for what is in there are minimal, half tracks are a new spawn type, just don't drive a half track around until you understand how the game works and you'll be fine

The team will justifiably get mad at you if you move a half track

[cinder gate]

My main gripe towards games like HLL is not encountering enemies/action for long intervals of time. But I wouldn't mind that as long as theres some observable action happening in the battlefield that i can see

[sweet cliff]

HLL is very fast paced, spawn times are short, the common places you're spawning have a 20 second and 40 second timer respectively, but those are team wide timers so if you die you might only have to wait a couple of seconds depending on exactly when you die

The team does have to build all its spawns (you can't win a game just off HQ spawns) so if your team isn't doing that the time to get back into the action is going to be longer, but that's easily fixable

[cinder gate]

got it

[sweet cliff]

So best thing you can do as a new player is read that guide, understand the spawn types (the outpost is the shortest spawn timer and it's placed by your squad lead), understand the two game modes and how to read the map (as in how to identify what squares count towards capturing or defending objectives) and then just play the objective.

If you play support that class has a supply box with 50 supplies in it that recharges every 5 minutes (2.5 if you get close to a manpower node) and it takes 50 supplies to build a garrison in friendly territory, so if your SL needs a support player you just spawn as it and plop the box down where he wants.

[cinder gate]

is there crossplay in hll?

[sweet cliff]

Boxes don't stack, if you place a new box the old box is removed (regardless of whether or not any supplies were needed) and you can build stuff within 50 meters of the supply box, so if the dude is standing there with his watch out don't put it at his feet it'll block what he's trying to build.

PC can only play with PC, Xbox/PS can play with each other.

[cinder gate]

oh, they should do crossplay.

how often do they update the game? and hows the progression and monetization?

[sweet cliff]

Nah that would be awful and also not feasible at the moment, PC and console don't have the same content, their goal is to catch console up to the point they can release content simultaneously but that's been pushed back at least once, and also on PC everything is tracked via steam (player progression and your status on servers [bans, etc.]) so they'd have to have some sort of bridge for the stat system and steam IDs translating to Sony/MS stuff.

#telegrams you can scroll back to see old dev blogs but U12 came out July 19th, U11 came out December 7th, and U10 came out 20 July last year

Progression is split between class specific loadouts and overall player level, overall player level is irrelevant except it lets you use certain cosmetics (uniforms), some uniforms are free, some are DLCs you can see on steam, some DLCs were rewards for the kickstarter which are no longer available

[cinder gate]

ohk

[sweet cliff]

anyone trying to play HLL with a controller is going to get absolutely dunked on by keyboard/mouse players, crossplay would not be good.

[unkempt storm]

But I wanna play with my console friends Mr. Noodle 🥺🥺👉👈

[sweet cliff]

buy a console

[valid vigil]

I want easy games!!

[sweet cliff]

on average roughly half of the console players are going to be on your team most of the time

[valid vigil]

I will kick them from their squads.

https://tenor.com/view/easter-funny-shrek-funny-face-gif-16873758

[sweet cliff]

Controllers are just really poor input tools for first person shooters, it's not fair to anyone in any game to mix mouse users with console users.

[latent halo]

Unless you choose to

I dont mind console players but when games overload the aim assist it's annoying to play against

[signal harness]

M&KB is better than a controller with aim assist

its just a better input device for precise shots which is needed in any FPS

[valid vigil]

oh yes, let's get rid of aim assist

[latent halo]

Aim assist is the thing controllers need to match pc accuracy capabilities but it needs to be tweaked and made just right so there's still skill but console players can match up to pc

[coarse canopy]

Agree. Though if everyone is playing with controller (on console without crossplay) at least it’s an even playing field.

[slate breach]

I didn't ever see supply boxes disappear when another one is placed, that's kinda sh*t though

[deep estuary]

is this better then battlefield

sorry probably been asked before

?

[uncut jasper]

What kind of experience are you looking for

Because g**play-wise, not really imo

[deep estuary]

oh ok

@uncut jasper ok anything else similar thats any good?

looking for a good multiplayer fps

[bitter sable]

I will state that I run into a ton of people in servers who have come from Battlefield.

If you're looking for a large scale, team based shooter where communication, being level headed, and playing as a team and not being an action jackson gets you a win, then yes - I cannot recommend this game enough.

[uncut jasper]

To this? Honestly kind of limited right now, especially with games that are populated. Offhand, games like Squad, Beyond the Wire (dead), Post Scriptum (very low playercount, but same setting as HLL).

[bitter sable]

It has a learning curve that is considerably steeper than a Battlefield, but it's so engaging and fun to play that you'll start picking up on things.

[uncut jasper]

Probably why HLL is so popular, is that it meets a middle ground between the milsim stuff and arcade shooters, even though the matches are usually, uh... like Battlefield lmao

[bitter sable]

I have close to 400 hours in it at the moment. It's probably my favorite shooter ever. There are days where I get really frustrated with it and take long breaks, but it always has me coming back.

[modern rampart]

Happy Beyond the Wire launchday to all 15 players btw! 🥳

[bitter sable]

I started my vacation last night - I got home from work at 10. Took a nap. Woke up at 4am and played from then to about 8:30 this morning.

[uncut jasper]

Always wanted to try it. Almost bought it over this, and glad I didn't 😂

[bitter sable]

Beyond the Wire is fun but yeah.

No community.

[modern rampart]

I still want to bite myself in my rear for spending 35 bucks on that hot mess.

[bitter sable]

I got it during their holiday sale, I think?

Either way, I didn't my money's worth out of it.

The handful of games I got to play were pretty fun imo

[modern rampart]

a group of friends and I bought it at launch for 35 or so bucks, worst choice in gaming I recently made

[uncut jasper]

I gave Cliff Blezinski or however you spell his name $30 for Lawbreakers, no worries. I got three hours for it and gave it a break before coming back and seeing it gone off the store and the servers shut down

[bitter sable]

I loved the game, it was just dead.

The first night I got on there were only two servers with active players and one was like a 258 ping.

[modern rampart]

To anybody reading this: Do not buy BtW. It's a 🪦 game, that has been horribly mismanaged from start to finish. Do not waste your money!

[bitter sable]

But the maps were awesome and I loved the melee.

[modern rampart]

the maps were way too small and funnel-like

melee was decent-ish but nothing special. Not like it was marketed

[bitter sable]

I mean is that not WWI?

[modern rampart]

No?

Pop cultural level of WW1 maybe.

[uncut jasper]

Who knew that repackaging Squad's framework and selling it at AAA pricing with no dev plan was a bad idea

[bitter sable]

I think the melee was pretty spot on to what they were showing in videos.

[modern rampart]

PS's community bustling in comparison

[uncut jasper]

I wanted to try PS, too, but the low player count kinda scared me off tbh and made me pull da trigger on HLL for sure

[modern rampart]

I tried but definitely decided it's not for me for many different reasons.

refunded it and got HLL instead

pretty decent exchange, imo.

[unkempt storm]

whats btw.... 🥺

ded gema

[heavy belfry]

Too bad beyond the wire doesn't have a dedicated community like PS

Good thing PS isn't suffering from that

Got a couple servers that are always full

[dawn widget]

What’s btw

[heavy belfry]

Beyond the wire

[dawn widget]

Oh

Yeah it ended like it’s brother Post Scriptum

Pretty sad but I think it’s the devs

Every game they make dies

[weak grail]

How does artillery work in dis game? Or tank driving?

[heavy belfry]

PS isn't dead, it has a dedicated community. You'll always find a couple full server whereas for BtW, it struggles to even fill up half a server rip

[dawn widget]

Yeah right it ain’t dead

One full server that speaks English doesn’t mean the game is alive lol

It’s dead

[heavy belfry]

There's like 3 English servers

That doesn't make it dead

BtW is a good example of a ded game

And why is de*d game blocked lmao

[slate breach]

dead

the swear filter in this server continues to amaze and disappoint me

[dawn widget]

Dead

dead

Lmao it’s blocked if u write game with it

[dawn widget]

It does

Also it doesn’t have 3 servers

It has less

English

[next oasis]

Any game that requires you to play during your regions "peak" time to even get a chance of a full server is, for all intents and purposes, "dead"

[uncut jasper]

cough Rising Storm 2 cough

[dawn widget]

you’re god damn right chum

[coarse canopy]

Tank driving is like a manual car, you need to work up the gears.

Artillery best to be SL in a locked squad and watch a couple of YouTube videos to understand marking and adjusting to targets, it doesn’t explain well via text.

It’s easy enough with practice.

[dawn widget]

Remember to ask in chat if the arty is good

Sometimes you think you’re hitting stuff but you are like a Soviet artillerist and you waste 100 shells for nothing

[sweet cliff]

There are hit sounds when you're hitting people, it may seem counter-intuitive but just because you're getting kills doesn't mean you're doing well, you can be zoning your team out of where they need to go

[dawn widget]

Exactly

[opal bay]

All the tanks I drive are automatics...

[coarse canopy]

The only tank in HLL that isn’t manual is the recon tank

[opal bay]

ahh HLL...talking Enlisted...

[wary sparrow]

Hey there buddy, Have you tried making sure your microphone is synced to hell let loose via the in-game Audio tab?

[weak grail]

oh

so I need to shell where they are going? Like regardless if im hitting anything worthwhile?

[wooden mirage]

check the guides bro, it's hard to explain

[zealous basin]

Seems to be an issue. If it's certain players you can mute and unmute them and should work. If it's all comms then I've been told a system reset is needed.

It ended up being either my guitar that was plugged in or just deleting my user data from the Xbox.

[outer thistle]

Fender had a trojan horse possibly? Lol

[sterile elm]

Oh wow. Why so little...?

[heavy belfry]

Maybe because more people prefer games that are more fast pace and casual?

[sterile elm]

I thought this game was much more populated before I started playing

[vagrant wasp]

same here

[frank bolt]

wdym?

so many full servers

it is also like, no update for a while now so playerbase will slump

[sweet cliff]

There was an update last month

Well July 19th but still

[vagrant wasp]

and the base was allot friendlier

[sweet cliff]

It's got a really healthy NA and EU population, if you're from some other region your experience may vary

[vagrant wasp]

thats were i play

the amount of homophobic slurs ive been called

[sweet cliff]

If admins won't ban for that try another server, if it's in voice chat record clips of it

[frank bolt]

welcome to the internet bro

[vagrant wasp]

i just make jokes like "if you want my come back, scrape it off your dads teeth" then they shut up

[lucid fjord]

usually have good luck with the BR1 servers and 10th mountain

[wide compass]

Any Omaha only servers?

[mystic stump]

I don't think there's any dedicated map servers period. And why Omaha?? 🤭

[wide compass]

Ahh ic sorry, am new so i didnt know
And Omaha because its fun :P

[midnight pumice]

Omaha is the best

I wish there was omaha and Utah only servers

[wide compass]

^

Offensive US Omaha and Utah server would be amazing

[prisma thicket]

is this game like squad but world war 2 themed instead? sorry if this is wrong area to ask

[sweet cliff]

It has elements distinctly different than squad such as no tickets and refreshing your ammo on spawn

[prisma thicket]

thanks im not reallt sure what those things mean, i have not played squad yet, i just know its like battlefield but more realistic i think

[next oasis]

it's not like battlefield at all

and it's not more "realistic"

[prisma thicket]

i was told it falls in the middle of battlefied and arma

[next oasis]

whoever told you is mistaken

HLL isn't between any two games

[prisma thicket]

no i meant that i was told that squad is between battlefield and arma

sorry for confusion

[sweet cliff]

It's fairly arcadey and generally fast paced (if your team and squad maintain spawns)

[next oasis]

Although it is common for many people to describe HLL as "between X and Y", it isn't an accurate statement

ARMA is basically a singleplayer game, idk why that is even thrown into the mix
