how do you invite friends on pc, i just bought the game on steam and having trouble with this

#

The easiest way is to go find a server that has say 60-80 people on it and just both join the same server at the same time, otherwise it can be hard to get into the same one if the queue is full

Hello! I just bought and installed Hell Let Loose and have been looking around for a bit in the main menu. Now when I want to play a game there are so many servers to choose from and I don't really know which one to choose?

prisma hound
#

Just jump on one with a good ping, clan owned severs are better than official ones

sweet cliff
#

Hop from squad to squad or server to server if you're having a bad time, experiences will vary wildly depending on server and time of day on that server

That thompson that makes no sound when shooting, is it the normal one or do you have to unlock it?

Well, there are no quiet guns in game, maybe your sound settings are jacked or something or it's a game bug

I think you may wanna clip it or something because I have never seen or heard anyone mention this

what is "TOGGLE SNAPING " use for ? i don't see anything happen when pressing it

If you mean when you're building it lets you sometimes when it cooperates latch buildable fortifications together

#

Does this game still get updates? About to but but wanna make sure

#

Buy*

slate sentinel
#

Do we get them? Yes
When? Soon

dawn widget
#

Lmao fair, I've heard the roadmaps have been iffy

grim tinsel
#

If by soon you mean every 5-6 months yes

#

The next update next month isn’t a content update, but it’s a health update. I don’t mind the health update but I feel like it’s a cop out for them since they did absolutely nothing since they got back from the holidays

#

Poor communication

#

Those things lead to a game dying and I wouldn’t be surprised if their numbers dropped, everything in the game now is dry, it’s the same maps

#

If you buy the game now you’re lucky, everything would still be fairly new and fresh for you, but the people who feel burnt out like me, I have to wait for some type of content update to play again

latent halo

only reason i play is because its ok with friends on discord

What are console events? Are these private matches where people RP or something

I'm not sure how to feel about the new uniforms

cedar spruce
dawn widget
#

I like them to an extent but I also really don’t like what they are implying

#

The veteran looks to “Tacticool” and the summer shirt isn’t even an actual shirt used by the Wermacht

#

If it was the proper undershirt it would be kinda cool but from what my rennactor buddies say German field doctrine forbid soliders go into combat without the field jacket on

#

And the veteran uniform has the same problem, with shirts not being able to be open collared

#

And the field gear is just weird

#

Sounds nitpicky but I want my game to be as accurate as possible and not have it turn into BFV

cyan agate
dawn widget
#

Gameplay is skewed historically but the game has always had a very strong historical aesthetic and feel. These uniforms go very against that

#

Just give me a proper looking M36 and an actual German undershirt if your going this route, not a dirty looking shirt with a bandage and hankerchief along with a shirt that was never used by the Heer

#

@dawn widget well I'm wait for a Fallschirmjäger uniform with there real color and the real helmet

Hi, i just picked the game back up after like 3 months ( played it for like 2 hours) and i realised how fun it is
any tips to help me?

muted stump

#

And then if you have a cooperative SL you should play support and help them build garrisons as needed

muted stump
#

that and communication is key, no matter what role

midnight storm
# sour vigil Rifleman or medic

Support is a good class to learn with. Same kit as rifleman but you have supplies to help your team. Drop them for your officer or the commander to make garrisons. Also unlocks MP40 and Grease gun pretty quickly

dawn widget
#

Is the flamethrower worth the grind? It looks badass and i really wanna try for it. I probably will even if it's bad

sweet cliff
dawn widget
#

Oh yeah thanks, didn't think of that

latent halo
#

The only real benefit it has is the ability to burn a garrison or op down, but the op one is a bit less good since if you are within burning distance you are within close enough to pop it distance

#

If you could damage the engines of vehicles then it would be better but as is the best you can do is trucks or halftracks by using literally the entire tank

ocean fjord
autumn rose
#

It's worthless in any combat capacity

valid vigil
#

it's not that bad

rush enemies with it when you're pushing with your team

marble gale

Anyone care to play somewhen? I usually play support atm but I’m getting fed up of teams with no comms and no command. I’m relatively new to the game but would probably@like to eventually play recon after watching countless videos on classes etc.

worn wing
#

It's pretty terrible. I think a better way to balance the flamethrower would be to add a severe suppression effect to players that are on fire to simulate panic, so you can't immediately just dome the dude who just doused you with napalm

latent halo
latent halo
#

And you cant even quickly spread the flame around so someone who is accurate with grease gun or mp40 can not only kill at range but also spread their bullets side to side quickly to kill many people

worn wing
#

Not to mention the fire doesn't immediately kill, so that dude you just set on fire might just turn around and shoot you

#

I think I've only died once to a flamethrower honestly

versed creek
#

guys how do you effectively play HLL

#

is it just through good comms

sweet cliff
# versed creek guys how do you effectively play HLL

Read the new players guide, understand the different types of spawns and how they're built, and then spend your time building/defending spawn points if you want to have a real influence on the match's outcome

versed creek
#

oh and is there any tips for spotting enemies i seem to never find em

sweet cliff
#

and also look at your map, and go back and defend your points as required, there's a page in the new players guide that describes cap zones for warfare/offensive, most matches are lost because too many players have no understanding of where the cap zones are and when they're losing a point

versed creek
#

thanks for the tips mate!

sweet cliff
#

Over time as you play you'll be able to read the map better, but you want to pay attention to where friendlies are, where they're disappearing from, where your spawns are and which spawns are pinging (they have radar for enemy players) and you can then use that to (generally) pretty easily deduce where the enemies are, for instance if none of your spawns are flashing (assuming you have enough and they're spread out), but you're losing the point, they're coming from the void on your map

he also specifically stated that his reflexes are slow and aim poor

rifleman for all factions except the U.S are bolt action guns primarily until you get to lvl 3

#

auto rifleman, and assault, have full autos

void swan
#

oh ok

wooden narwhal

which are a lot more forgiving for having bad aim

#

personally despite the fact i am bad at spotting things, as a new player i do enjoy sitting there with a rifle trying to pop shots off

#

he asked for advice

void swan
#

k

#

What about support? No one seems to communicate on mic. I’m a console player btw

I've just started this game and I DO really love Medics

kindred thorn
#

When u have the bipod down the sights shake left and right alot

slate sentinel
#

Almost like it's cyclic rate is causing that to happen...

void swan
#

How do I keep my aim steady when I’m taken by surprised at close range? When I see an enemy pop up right in front of me, I either miss or take too long to get the shot off

wooden narwhal
#

muscle memory is a good place to start

void swan
#

So I’ll eventually get used to taking point blank panic shots accurately?

wooden narwhal
#

well

#

they won't be panic shots then

#

but yes thats the gist of it

#

do something enough and you'll get good at it at some point

#

unfortunately, like most other shooters of this character - whoever sees who first and subsequently pulls the trigger first - typically wins

void swan
#

I get near misses so o just need to try not to think of it as an “oh no guy suddenly popped up” but as a “guy just came in front of me, time to shoot him”

#

Then my hand won’t jerk and miss right?

kindred thorn
#

yeah just dont panic

#

and youll be fine

wooden narwhal
#

as stupid as it sounds

void swan
#

Instead of think before you shoot, shoot before you think

wooden narwhal
#

if someone pops up close enough for you to be able to panic shoot them, you can typically hear or see them coming

#

yes

#

exactly

void swan
#

Unfortunately I did that once not realising it was a team mate

wooden narwhal
#

footsteps are incredibly loud in this game

#

thats why you check your map and press T routinely

#

like, I open my map every 3-4 seconds

#

no joke

#

map awareness is incredibly important

void swan
#

I do check the map to look for pings, markers and where team mates are and their formation

wooden narwhal
#

yah

#

idk point and reflex shooting typically comes with time

#

i could hip fire in RS2 without any problem because I just subconsciously learned where the bullets would hit over time

void swan
wooden narwhal
#

yea idk how else to explain it

#

as you become more comfortable with core game mechancis, how the game plays and the pace that you should be moving at

#

it just comes to you naturally

#

at least, if you are gifted at shooters

#

if you have game sense and are just slightly above average it will happen organically

#

a lot of it is in the feel, as ambiguous as that is

void swan
#

Oh ye and how to spot enemies from far away, I’m looking at the tree lines for movement but can’t see anyone despite bullets going in and out of the area

wooden narwhal
#

the colour of the character models' skin does not occur naturally

#

if you see it, you are 100% sure its an enemy

#

(or friend)

slate sentinel
void swan
#

At a distance, everything looks grey especially at night to

void swan
slate sentinel
#

Usually, yes

#

Even if it's just a little shift

#

The biggest thing I've found is timing, usually waiting that extra second is the difference between life and death

void swan
#

So wait and keep staring at where i think the enemy is

#

But if I don’t spot them but notice them shooting at me, i should just fire in their general direction right?

wooden narwhal
wooden narwhal
#

stopping to look and listen every now and then is a very good idea

#

not firing your gun is just as good as shooting some times

audio gives you 100% more information than seeing stuff, usually

#

For this year, yes. I'd imagine that they'd add more Polish maps with time, though.

Hello! 👋

spring jolt
# knotty flower any tips? i got the game less than 5mins ago

There are a plenty of video's to be found in the #hll-guides channel or you can simply head over to YT and search as well!

Feel free to give me a message as well if you'd like a chat 🙂

I think the main piece of early advice I could give you is don't worry about KD ratios early on, just play; enjoy the game and make sure you're communicating with your team mates with a MIC.

Tell them you're new and they will generally be able to give you advice.

heavy belfry
#

wait

#

so what happened to the flakpanzer, british forces, mortars, etc that were supposed to come out last year?

autumn rose
#

British forces coming this year

#

Dev team completely changed

#

I would say disregard the prior road map and to do list

#

As it was for a dev team that no longer exists or works on the game.

heavy belfry
#

oh nvm their 2021/22 roadmap said "the list is not exhaustive"

autumn rose
#

Like I said I wouldn't use it as a main reference

sweet cliff
#

Flak stuff never made any sense anyway

#

Party system didn't really make sense with server queues and the browser either

modern rampart
#

T17 has shown that they barely care about what BM set out to add with the old roadmap

sweet cliff
#

Campaign mode never made sense either

modern rampart
modern rampart
#

Same as Flakpanzer tbh

#

tf would you need that for

sweet cliff
#

Campaign mode could maybe make sense in smaller shorter game modes but this game has enough of a problem with losers switching to the winning team or people joining the already winning team and campaign mode would have really exacerbated that

heavy belfry
#

Have you not used the 20mm flak guns in post scriptum?

sweet cliff
#

The splash damage on the luchs is anemic and it would just get blasted by rocket spam or other tanks most likely

heavy belfry
#

That's the user's fault for not using it well.

#

Same thing in PS, it's hella effective when used correctly

#

But I mean, the flakpanzer would be a poor choice tbh because it literally uses a panzer 4 chassis

#

Too op

#

What would the Allies get?

valid vigil
heavy belfry
#

And I have a question about the uniform customizations for the Polish 1939 campaign

#

Will most German uniforms be restricted or will they be available?

#

Such as the late war helmet camo, etc

#

I feel like that would look incredibly odd in a 1939 setting

#

..and the guns

#

The STG44 and the MG42

loud kestrel
#

Hm we dont know.

heavy belfry
#

Would be neat if they introduced new German weapons for that early war setting which can be carried on to the future France 1940 addon

modern rampart
heavy belfry
#

Such as the PzB39 AT rifle, MP34, and C96 pistol

#

To replace the panzerschreck and mp40

heavy belfry

Perhaps they'll create an early war German faction 🤷‍♂️

Would suggest you try out a number of different community servers, see if you can play with some of the guys there. If you're having a good time with them, consider joining their community. Can look in #pc-divisions-recruitment for some additional orientation.

Hello. Have they changed the game in anyway? The guns seem different some classes? Maybe I’m losing my mind

#

Ah, I have worked it out! Different factions have different weapons. I’ve only played as Germany so far, so couldn’t understand why I was all of a sudden using a Tommy gun

#

I prefer single shot guns as they are more accurate. Still can’t decide what class to pick

As long as you're willing to learn and understand a class, you'll probably do better than most people already 😄

Best way to learn is by trying something new, after all

Those are are probably the most the most important roles outside of SL/commander in pub games.

Anywhere that a squad leader or the commander asks you

Once you also start to get a good idea of where garrisons should go, you can put them down preemptively to provide incentive to build one

Keep your "head" on a swivel and listen for callouts

#

A tank without info is at half strength, unless its holding a long angle

#

Most of it just comes from experience on knowing where to get the tank and the gun pointing, and you need good crew who dont need you to tell em what to do all the time

valid vigil
late ermine
#

You need to be aware of what's happening around you and what's the global situation. It also depends on the tank you're using. Getting in a good position is 1/3 of the job. It's pretty much map knowledges and experience. The rest is awaress (knowing what ennemy tanks can do) and destroying the tank you're facing : You're not gonna rush a 76 with a panzer 4. Try to find a flank and be more sneaky. If you have a panther, if you know his position, just wait for him to shoot and go for it (if you have a angle for it).

There's a lot of doom and gloom stuff out there for easy views. Sure, there's bugs. But it's Team 17s very first update since taking over from Black Matter. Did anyone really expect there to not be bugs? Black Matter updates always had bugs too, but here we are still enjoying the game. Look, I'm not saying we can't be critical. But I do wish it was done in a more constructive way sometimes. Thumbnails saying the game is doomed, dying, in trouble, etc. are only hurting the game, even if the video itself then turns out to be optimistic. That's the "clickbaity" part that I don't really care for.

errant swallow
#

It's still a fantastic game, still one of the best multiplayer shooters out there.

#

And that hasn't changed with the update. It's the first time the new dev studio updates the game so it was to be expected that they would have some issues, which I don't doubt they'll be able to fix soon.

It takes more than a bad update to kill a game. Several really bad updates would do it, but HLL is in better hands than that. Hopefully these server analytics deliver fixes for the Loadout and Grenade Bugs.

does that destroy the wire or does it work like driving through fences?

#

Another question- how to advance across open ground into defensive positions

#

Smokes can work over short dashes, do I need to just get the entire squad together, get an ordinance box, and then leapfrog it with OPs?

late jackal
#

Follow a longer route with more cover.

Or try leapfrogging indeed, but with squaddies alternating between supressing and moving.

nocturne kite
#

Yeah a longer route would be my preferred choice (ideally flanking from the "main" push), but in this case the objective was in a town surrounded by open fields, and we didn't have armored support

#

Also, I had a guy who had like four smoke grenades between restocks, which class/loadout was that?

weak cloud
#

The assault class has a grenadier loadout at level 6 that has 4 smokes and 6 grenades

latent halo
#

Towns surrounded by open ground is hard

#

Best thing to do is get tonk, not lose tonk, and have artillery shell and smoke when infantry are ready to push

#

Smoke artillery is very good when used right

How should I go about using MGs for suppression (or just killing people) without the MG gunner getting immediately domed?

#

I've had some luck with using mass smoke and then just having the gunner spray through it but that's kinda EEEEH.

#

(Technically this splits into two questions- not getting killed on defense, and not getting killed while using him for a base of fire)

#

Pairing him with a medic only kinda buys time (and it costs me something else)

next oasis
# nocturne kite How should I go about using MGs for suppression (or just killing people) without...

Shoot as little as possible and only to kill, otherwise you'll unnecessarily draw attention to yourself. It takes ONE bullet to kill a target with an MG up to 100m, so you don't need to be shooting multiple rounds at all.
Basically, do the opposite of what an MG would typically be doing irl. There is no need for suppression in HLL, it is useless. Trying to provide a base of fire in this game is only deterring yourself and is an effective way of sending yourself to the respawn screen

nocturne kite
#

How do I advance into fire then?

next oasis
#

the what? Just shoot targets as you see them

nocturne kite
#

Presumably they're doing the same, is my point

next oasis
#

They aren't. They're shooting to kill

#

The guy that shoots to kill will be the victor. HLL isn't that deep with its infantry

nocturne kite
#

Okay let me back up

next oasis
#

Don't overthink it man, you just have to shoot to kill with every class

nocturne kite
#

You're barking up the wrong tree here because that's not what I'm asking

next oasis
#

How should I go about using MGs for suppression (or just killing people) without the MG gunner getting immediately domed?

Shoot as little as possible, and only to kill.

nocturne kite
#

The defender has the advantage of cover, ability to peek, and quite likely faster respawn times, and I'm trying to work out how to get around because "just shoot them" is a sledgehammer of a solution

next oasis
#

Defenders don't have faster respawn times...

nocturne kite
#

I'm accounting for travel time and garry/OP placement

next oasis
#

You are new to the game? The solution to every infantry engagement is to shoot your enemy faster than he shoots you.
The MGs main draw back is that you need to be emplaced. despite that though, it still only takes 1, sometimes 2 bullets to down whatever you're pointing at.
You are only drawing attention to yourself if you intend on firing more than you absolutely need to with an MG, cause that's how you get domed by anyone looking in your direction

#

Your reward for trying to suppress someone in this game is someone else who isn't suppressed shooting you dead.

nocturne kite
#

You are new to the game?
Relatively new to HLL, coming from games like squad and planetside, where yes the solution is to kill the enemy first, but if you try to rely on that without any deeper tactics you're going to lose as often as you win.

#

regarding suppression, that's been established, yes. My question is "how to suppress without getting domed", answer: "you don't", okay, great

#

The original question remains regarding trying to take ground when the odds favor the defender (near as I can tell)

sweet cliff
#

Go around and spawn bomb them

next oasis
#

HLL has a much more generous damage model than those games you listed, ie, you die quicker and easier.
There is nothing in HLL that warrants you trying to suppress targets in this game.

sweet cliff
#

Spawns are the most important thing in HLL

next oasis
#

By all means, keep trying to suppress targets. You will only continue to be domed, like you said.
I give you the answer, and you deny it. Keep doing what you're doing then.

nocturne kite
#

I'm not denying it lmao

#

I'm going "fine, suppression is not a thing, what should I be using"

#

And you're telling me that suppression is bad

#

like, yes

#

okay, thank you

next oasis
#

See a target, hold your mouse fire button down for a tenth of a second when aiming at the target. That's how you MG in this game

nocturne kite
#

I'm not talking about MG either because that was very specifically tied to suppression

next oasis
#

It applies to any gun actually

nocturne kite
#

I'm also not asking how to shoot people

next oasis
#

They all share the same accuracy

nocturne kite
#

I think I can figure that out

next oasis
#

suppression was nerfed a long time ago

#

it's not good with any weapon

nocturne kite
#

Let me spell my question out very specifically because I'm trying to move away from suppression:

I have a squad. The enemy has a squad. I need to take, e.g., a small bundle of houses from the enemy squad. They have an OP in the center that we can't get vision on until we are physically overrunning them. How should I go about approaching this task?

mystic stump
#

Set up at a good position to camp their paths, kill them as they come.

next oasis
#

You stay as inconspicuous as possible and shoot them dead when they reveal themselves. It's the same thing with any weapon.
HLL isn't what you think it is lol

#

It's got the most basic infantry gameplay

nocturne kite
#

Obviously ideally the solution is something like "tank" but skip that for a moment

modern rampart
#

The solution is "Hell Let Loose is not the milsim you think it is"

nocturne kite
#

🙄 I'm not saying it's a milsim

mystic stump
#

There's going to be pathways they'll take from those houses to an objective, to hold a line ahead of the objective, or to address your squad. Find that pathway, find a good position to camp it.

modern rampart
#

These micro tactics don't matter

nocturne kite
#

If that's the case, then why have the squad or class system at all?

#

See ngl I get the sense that if I asked "how to defend a set of houses from an incoming squad" there would probably be suggestions e.g. garrys, ops, barbed wire, maybe mines or something, idk

#

But I ask how to attack and people get fixated on a question on suppression and then say "lmao just attack it isn't a milsim"

mystic stump
#

If you're an MG you're meant to play a static, whack-a-mole role.

#

That's what we're talking about, right, MG?

next oasis
#

The answer to any question related to "how do I [be better than the enemy]?" is "have better spawn placements than the enemy"

#

HLL is only about where you have spawns placed on the map. The in-between details beyond this don't matter

graceful stratus
#

I prolly buying the game today, any roles I should avoid until a fix is rolled out? Just not sure what guns are buggy

lean orchid
#

If you want to play it now, GG Deals has it for $22-23

nocturne kite
#

Especially when I have an enemy hardpoint I can't figure out how to break

#

because "lmao git gut" is the definition of useless

next oasis
#

that was never said

#

the solution to damn near everything in this game is "go around them"

#

you do that by having better spawns

nocturne kite
#

That doesn't work when they're on what we need to capture

next oasis
#

You're wildly overthinking this game m8

nocturne kite
#

I'm really not

sweet cliff
#

You either close the distance and pop their spawn, or you don't, you can shoot it from a distance with rockets, drive an armored box up to it, drop arty on it until they give up

next oasis
#

You really are

nocturne kite
#

Chum you spent like 10 minutes hyperfixated on suppression when I was asking about attack

next oasis
#

You choke them out by having a better spawning position than they do

#

I addressed your MG question

sweet cliff
#

You can grenade OPs, if the space you have to close is large enough and they aren't incompetent then sometimes you just can't unless you can out shoot them

nocturne kite
# next oasis I addressed your MG question

You over-addressed my MG question, is my point, to the point where I was trying to move on and you kept circling back to tell me that I'm an idiot and that suppression isn't a thing

next oasis
#

I didn't call you an idiot.

nocturne kite
#

IMHO it was rather heavily implied

#

But you are correct, you didn't use the word specifically

violet prawn
#

Tbh, either way, the MG gunner life is a defensive one for most anyways.

#

And suppression does do favors

next oasis
#

I didn't imply it either. Stop making things up in your head.

nocturne kite
#

Whatever chum. I'm not going to bother arguing with you.

sweet cliff
#

If people can see you and aren't potatoes they can shoot you so the answer to your question is make yourself not be seen

violet prawn
#

I can attest to suppression doing favors. I been a victim of it.

nocturne kite
violet prawn

It isn't fun!

sweet cliff

Either by going somewhere else or dropping so much smoke on them they can't see you

And I've also had enemy squads attack into my defensive position and roll me

so clearly they're doing something I'm not

sweet cliff
#

Or by out shooting them

When chum says suppression doesn't matter what he means is it doesn't change your guns aim, it just reduces the players ability to see, if you are already aimed you can just shoot through the suppression

Weirdly, I find SL to usually be easier. So long as I'm slamming down even remotely usable garrisons as soon as support's box is off cooldown and throw down OPs like it's going out of style, people are pretty estatic. 😅 actually feel like SL is less stressful than AT ngl

stark moon

for AT there are videos on youtube that can help show you how to judge how high to aim for X distance... just takes practice

#

also there's the tank bible

nocturne kite

Tank is something I really want to learn at some point but tank is also one of the areas where veterans don't generally restrain their toxicity

#

Like, if armor isn't performing well, you're going to hear a lot about it

You'd think the universal concept of "front armor thick year armor thin" would work

But I have also noticed that that seems to creep into, like, misjudge a tail shot and overshoot the tank? If your next shot doesn't hit, you're going to hear about it.

Don't realize something has a collision box and waste a rocket hitting a bush you thought it could pass through? You're going to hear about it.

Here's a question

Is the damage model locational or directional for armor?

stark moon

well, pro-tip: Don't care what other people think... 90% of the time people complaining in game are wrong about whatever they're talking about

and the other 10% of the time they're complaining about how we don't have any garrisons

sweet cliff
#

You see them quoting armor values and pen values they read off Wikipedia and then they're mocking you on command chat when you tell them not to spawn a j75

autumn rose
#

It's directional, angle related and depends on the vehicle

sweet cliff
#

Something either does damage or not

stark moon
#

yeah it either pops the hitbox or it's a dinger

autumn rose
#

He's asking about if you can bounce or ricochet

nocturne kite
#

No I know you can do that

autumn rose
#

Which the answer is yes

nocturne kite
#

One sec

sweet cliff
#

There's no like, partial damage applied if you hit it at a poor angle

autumn rose
#

^^

#

It's either a penetrated shot, a bounce or a shatter

#

Each have a distinct effect, sound and cause

sweet cliff
#

And it's all hitboxes, you can hit rear and do no engine damage for instance unless you hit the engine hitboxes

autumn rose
#

Shooting the front of a tiger with a Bazooka is a one way ticket to a shatter

autumn rose

But there's no ammo racking turret rings etc. you're just hitting hull, turret, track engine

There's some shot traps too

(Mind, armor angle means it probably won't do anything, but that's another issue)

I've had side shots damage the turret ring and hull

#

I once was saved because I was in an IS1 and the tracks ate an 88

#

We won because of it

nocturne kite
#

Okay, good to know. I wasn't sure if I had to physically rotate myself into the rear arc of a tank to be getting a rear shot, or if an engine hit from the side was acceptable

autumn rose
#

It is not

#

You'll pretty much need to shoot the direct rear

There's some mildly goofy hitboxes but nothing like it used to be

Stuart has a tiny bit of rear visible from the side I mean, I think, I forget

autumn rose
#

Because the IS1 is also the only heavy that just sometimes says "uh uh" to a shot and bounces it

#

Regardless of whether it was perfect and a good shot

sweet cliff
#

The turret is very bouncy, it's a menace when only the turret is visible

autumn rose
#

True

#

That side can also do that

#

I've had a side shot bounce up

#

If the enemy team is on point with marks and your team isn't marking anything you're in for a rough time

nocturne kite
#

So if I'm seeing correctly, with a bazooka I basically need to be getting shots directly on the tail of, say, a Panzer IV to get a kill

#

So in like the rear 30 degree arc, say, or I won't have enough penetration

sweet cliff
#

Only ever shoot the rear of a P4, it's not enough pen per se it's just a binary on/off thing

nocturne kite
#

What I'm asking is like, if I'm off to the side but can see and potentially hit the rear panel, is that a shot worth taking?

He's talking about 30deg off perpendicular, right?

I think its 30* from 90*

right, which would result in a 60deg cone behind the tank

#

Like standing directly behind shift 30* left or right

autumn rose
#

Yeah sure I guess but it just implies that either the devs weren't pushing back or their project manager was not very bright

nocturne kite
#

or, well, a bit larger than that since they say they made it shallower

autumn rose
#

I lean the latter

sweet cliff
#

The rockets work like tank guns for pen and damage, shrek is like a medium bazooka is like a light

nocturne kite
#

😅 I don't know the first thing about tank guns so that's not meaningful to me in the slightest lol

In terms of tiers

#

OOC does that mean that the US relies more on other forms of AT?

autumn rose
#

Big gun with high velocity kill bettsr

sweet cliff
#

Recon light medium heavy armor and guns

#

So a j75 is heavy armor with a medium gun

autumn rose
#

Stuart and greyhound have the same gun

#

^^

#

Sherman and jumbo 75 have same gun

#

Jumbo 76 has a better gun

sweet cliff

#

Isn't it literally the same?

sweet cliff
#

They nerfed recon AP across the board in U11

autumn rose
#

Did they not nerf the stuart?

sweet cliff
#

They can pen the same things but the recons do less damage

autumn rose
#

This game has such autistic design

sweet cliff
#

The recon vehicles were an absolute menace pre damage nerf during U10

nocturne kite
#

If the US has a weaker AT launcher (since bazooka has a harder time penning than shrek) does that mean the US relies more on things like satchels or emplaced guns for anti-tank?

sweet cliff
#

Essentially

nocturne kite
#

Like, I understand that the soviet rifle is supposed to be more about harassing the tank, getting a mobility kill, and then letting the infantry kill the tank while you have it suppressed from range

#

hm

autumn rose
#

Yeah it was awesome

#

I abused that menacing and I loved it

nocturne kite
#

Not sure how to use this information. Can't remember the last time I saw anyone actually use an AT emplacement.

#

I mean there was one time, but he was using it to snipe infantry until someone threw a satchel on him 🤣

#

speaking of, if there's a satchel on a tank, is there anything I can do as nearby infantry to get the satchel off the tank?

stark moon
#

also they never really expect it till you start firing

nocturne kite
#

I've kind of thought about trying to get one up on... that one urban map with the triangular set of roads in the middle point

#

There's consistently someone driving around with a tank in there and our armor is never able to push in

#

So my thought is maybe you get a grenadier to smoke off the entrance to buy you time to get a gun up waaaaaay back that you can use to control that road

#

Though everything in my head from knowing irl doctrine screams that an offensive at gun is as dumb as it gets

stark moon
#

they take so little supplies to build there literally is no reason why you wouldn't be using them imo.

nocturne kite
#

How expensive are they? NVM found it, only 50 supplies

#

Man supports are like, really useful

autumn rose
#

The at gun is actually kind of OP

#

You weren't around when ir was buffed

#

It was hell on earth

#

They never even nerfed it

#

I think everyone just forgot it was op and moved up

nocturne kite
#

Also I've sometimes seen markers on squads in the join list

How do those work?

Like a little shield or whatever

# nocturne kite Man supports are like, _really_ useful

One manpower node near the front doubles their usefulness, such a shame that you never see that because it's so much simpler to place all the nodes in the same safe spot and be done with it. It might not seem like a lot, but when you get supplies every 150 seconds, you're begging for someone to take them

I would literally do so many things in order to double the uptime of a support it's not even funny

As long as someone wants them. Too many times I've had to shoot an officer in the leg to get their attention to save the team

Anti tank guns, garrisons everywhere, barbed wire and tank traps everywhere, more garrisons everywhere...

#

I'm kind of bad about pestering my support so I know the moment his box comes off CD so we can get something new up

#

I'm partially coming at this from the perspective of a planetside PL, where a good rule of thumb is "whoever has the most spawns wins" so... yeah. I'd happily just drive around a supply truck setting up garries some games.

Spawns are the most important thing in HLL

honestly bothers me how rockets do more rear damage when they are heat rounds meant to go through side to kill crew or detonate rounds

at least if you are axis

#

you can 2 shot up to medium

and also 2 shot heavies in rear while allies need 3

sweet cliff
latent halo
#

oh ok

#

its been a bit

sweet cliff
#

the difference is in what sides they can pen, not damage

latent halo
#

nothing like immobilizing a panther and calling in the airforce

#

i feel the bazooka deserves a side pen damage buff considering it was designed for it

#

rockets as a whole should prob have max range reduced to semi historical levels instead of 750 for bazooka and 950 for shrek

sweet cliff
#

nah rocket spam is so bad when you can pen sides it's extraordinarily difficult to angle against the hordes of rockets, if anything they should nerf the shrek

latent halo
#

Ye that'd do it too

#

Rockets feel kinda weak when you dont have shrek or hit it anywhere but behind

Why is Germany not called by its true name with its true symbols but the Soviet Union stays the same. They both committed atrocities. If you want to remain fully unbiased change it to Russia. Some games also do the same thing with calling Japan, "Imperial Japan Empire".

pseudo glen

Like how youtubers substitute the swastika for the iron cross usually

mystic stump
# dawn widget Why is Germany not called by its true name with its true symbols but the Soviet ...

I'd be fine to see them remove the hammer & sickle entirely from the game, and simply use the red star for the soviet's iconography. However, to call the Soviet Union simply "Russia" would reduce the many member states to just one; that would no doubt be more offensive. It is not necessary to call Germany by the Third Reich, as in popular media about the war, that distinction is already made and it simply referred to as Germany most often than not.

It was indeed called by its true name the whole time

#

Potentially asking a stupid question, if it'd be possible for a single squad to crash build an entire mess of defensive emplacements in a matter of like 5-10 minutes doing this, how come I never see it?

sweet cliff
#

Because people are bad at working together, and also in warfare defensive emplacements hurt you just as often as they hurt the enemy because people put them in stupid places

In warfare you can proximity cap, so putting down defenses doesn't stop cap weight from being applied to you, and if it's in the wrong spot it hurts you more than the enemy

Can be used to push you back or hold you back

Barbed wire can especially be hindering

nocturne kite
#

I'm assuming that whoever here is acting is competent

latent halo
#

Most competent people dont make defence because it's often unneeded

#

And cover can often be used by aggressor to gain a foothold in circle

#

You can put a gary inside a bunker which is pretty good because after you upgrade it when gary is inside it's pretty safe

nocturne kite
#

like, bunker down, garry inside when it's just the initial structure (the logs or whathaveyou), then hammer away so you have an armored garry?

We capture mid, then our attack on the next zone fails, the enemy counterattacks mid and we lose it

#

So I'm sort of trying to figure out how to crash build something in like 10 minutes that can let my squad hold off overwhelming odds long enough for us to reorganize.

#

Honestly I half feel like a good "first step" is just AT mines everywhere

near shale
# nocturne kite Wait this is a mechanic?

Yep. Suppression is dependent on allies around you, with officers and medics giving more suppression resistance|
This has been a thing for years and AFAIK the game never makes any attempt to explain this

unkempt storm

but generally the uptime required to build makes it unviable compared to actually holding and gaining ground

Tbh sometimes actually fortifying a location might make it easier for you to hold

Especially when it's down to the numbers

#

And then they all get blown away and you die a lot anyways

narrow flame
# latent halo a barricade can help a lil and is quick to make

Barricade takes forever to build and you just jump over it or use it for cover as the enemy. Barbed wire is much quicker yo build and way more effective. Don't use it to completely shut down an entrance but rather to funnel enemies into a point where you want them.

Long as the engineers have brains it should be fine

Don't quote me on thay

Because usually they don't

#

That or they're being confusing

narrow flame

Idk I like most engineers even if i don't always agree with what they do. It's fun to see some new thinking in the game.
As someone mentioned though, it's almost always better to work as active defense, spread out on the sector, taking down supplies, garrisons and outposts, and unfortunately a fortified SP often leads players to just sit right there and wait to get surrounded.
I think that's one more reason to just get some barbed wire down further away from the SP and not do the whole fortress approach.
