Static defenses and mobile defenses are distinct

Though even the fortress approach helps at times

My last match was a testament

We almost won the match due to it on our last point

[narrow flame]

Yeah, it depends a lot on the specific SP as well.

[violet prawn]

It was Road to Carentan...

Yyyyeah we lasted a while

Below five minutes

Then again it had strategy behind it. A welcome deal

[narrow flame]

I would like to see some YT manuals from experienced engineers on how to setup each SP 🤔

[violet prawn]

It'd be interesting

Might give me incentive to play Engie

Cuz idk what I'm doing with it

All I do is rifleman, assault and medic

[mild jacinth]

how supply trucks work?

[valid vigil]

you shoot whoever drives them and hold F to get inside

they're only really used for running over teammates tbh

[unkempt storm]

Right click to drop supply crate, they have two of them but can be resupplied at an HQ resupply station. In warfare mode, crates can be dropped anywhere except all of your HQ sectors (first two rows or columns depending on the map). In offensive, attackers can drop outside of all their HQ sectors, whereas defenders can drop anywhere except the one HQ sector which has the last strongpoint in it.

[valid vigil]

☝️ or what he said, but they're mainly used for killing teammates that stand in the way on open fields

if you can't raise your KD, raise the teams mortality rate

[mild jacinth]

thanks

how supply drops work?

[unkempt storm]

commander calls them in, anywhere on the map 🙂

[mild jacinth]

I can use them for buidling garrison?

[unkempt storm]

yessir, can use any supplies to build garrisons

[mild jacinth]

how can I pick them up?

[unkempt storm]

(as long as they're not too far into enemy territory, too close to another garrison, etc

Unfortunately you can't pick them up, once they're dropped, they stay there until used or destroyed. You just have to be within proximity to them to use them

[mild jacinth]

so when I'm close to supply drop or supply truck and I have enoguh materials, I can build garrison?

[unkempt storm]

yessir, except not the truck itself, a supply crate dropped from a truck

[mild jacinth]

thanks

enemy supply drops are ones with red parachute?

[unkempt storm]

I'm not sure of the colours to be honest. German drops are a long tube shape, allied ones are more of a backpack looking shape. You'll get the hang of it 🙂

[mild jacinth]

okay, I can destroy enemy supplies by shooting it?

[brave ruin]

German supplies look like a gigantic dild0

[unkempt storm]

an explosive will destroy them, otherwise you need to be at them and press F

[unkempt storm]

I didnt wanna say it 😅

[mild jacinth]

[wet acorn]

Hi guys, quick question - is there a campaign type tournament for hell let loose where there is an axis vs allied that have battles every week and people join a side etc?

similar to BFE WaW 10+ years ago if anyone is familiar with that lol

[unkempt storm]

A solid idea but not that I'm aware of. The closest would be arranged matches between divisions, in a seasonal type of format, but not necessarily axis vs. allied on a regular/progressional basis

[wet acorn]

damn 😦 thanks for the quick answer xo

[mild jacinth]

scroll down a bit and find server with good ping and join

don't pick servers that have 1 place left because server will fill before you click

I always join servers that have 80 people

[latent halo]

My least favorite task: finding allied supplies in wheat fields

[tight topaz]

if you Ask me, German supplies are bigger then Other Factions due to it being long and easy to spot, Unlike US/Soviet Supplies Which can be hid in a bush and Pretty difficult to find.

[latent halo]

i dont think its just you lol

theyre literally triple the size

[tight topaz]

yeah,they really are triple the size 🤣

[tight topaz]

garrisons too, The Russian Garrisons are tiny as hell (i can fit basically into any Trench) ,unlike the German and US which are big and easy to spot.

[tardy viper]

What are the highest level servers? Not level cap just all around level.

[latent halo]

That's not really possible to answer, unless it's a server with level limits to join it's going to be a wide range

There are competitive "clans" to join that would have higher level players

[swift crystal]

There are also “server ranking” like which servers consistently stay the most populated

[tardy viper]

yeah I joined a clan, but I'm only level 80 and want to improve the fastest. Because these maps are huge

[latent halo]

Just keep playing

It's more about time and not about who you play

Just dont get too distracted with big map

You want to play in the 4 squares around a point to have the most impact

[autumn rose]

Wanna level up fast drive supply trucks

Easiest way to get xp

[latent halo]

He wants to improve, not level

[wooden narwhal]

the maps themselves aren't as important as being able to read how the game will flow

game sense is something you can't get "quickly"

its like learning a new subject in school, there is certainly a good way to do it - but its still very individual

[autumn rose]

Actually the best way I'd advise is playing SL

That's the best way to pick up the different roles and better gamesense

[latent halo]

Or play with a good SL and be assistant

Good skill to learn is role swapping, so you can react to things

[maiden sorrel]

Fonz squad always taking new guys to the team

[autumn rose]

Being a good SL is ironically easier than finding one

[keen sundial]

Not really if squad members aren't cooperating

[uneven flare]

Wait how

[uneven flare]

So Iike do you just drop supplies everywhere and refill

[autumn rose]

I generally just play a class and support defense building

I prefer not to be useless

[uneven flare]

Wait why does that give xp though

What if your on the offensive

[autumn rose]

The dropping of the boxes itself yields high support xp

If they're used to build its even higher

^^^

This is actually super team helpful too

[narrow flame]

You can hop on most servers during seeding time, open up a squad, jump into a transport truck, turn the engine on and go afk. At least on 82ad servers this is very much supported. It allows other seeding players to join your squad and get whatever class they want to level up.

There's no difference between driving around and just leaving the engine on afaik.

If you get nodes up before and then change class that's ofc much better.

[uneven flare]

I swear every time I try to build nodes, my team doesn’t listen to me

I’m on console 😭

You can’t change teams on console

[uneven flare]

Wayyyy too slow past level three

I usually just try to build nodes, and then play the game, it’s just that every time I actually try to build some nodes, I run into some issue

That’s what I usually do anyways

[latent halo]

prob with that is old devs expect you to grind dozens or hundreds of hours for content you paid for

[narrow flame]

You can:

1. drop supplies as support on the HQ
2. redeploy as engineer, put up a manpower node and finish it
3. put up the blueprints for the other two nodes
4. redeploy as support again, put another 50 down
5. slowly work on both nodes, get both of them nearly finished
6. as your supply box is almost refreshed again, finish one of the nodes, then drop again 50 and finish the last one.

All you need to find is a squad with no support and engineer or jump squads, but it's almost always doable at the start of the match.

[latent halo]

outside of nodes the quick alternative is a community made thing that takes advantage of an "exploit" to quickly gain xp and is honestly pretty mind numbing to do

which is poor design by devs imo

i did it for support when they said flamer would be level 10

(which it shouldnt because its hot garbage)

i like making minefields with engi and then swapping off

wish theyd make an engi loadout with 3 or 4 ap mines since they have one for at mines

guess theyre worried about them getting swap spammed

[near shale]

Loadouts should be, at the very most, level 6. Anything above that which isn't cosmetics has always been absurd.

[latent halo]

i personally think they should get rid of loadouts being locked entirely since it causes an annoying bug and doesnt make much sense

and if the devs think certain loadouts are unbalanced if everyone has em? maybe balance em??

[near shale]

That's fair, and the straight upgrade kits need to go. Though I think that, even disregarding balance, the system has a neat side effect of making certain weapons rarer than others.

[autumn rose]

I think they should go the day of infamy route and have classes structured like that

Use weapon and equipment weight to make the classes variable without allowing for super op or underpowered ones

[random hound]

I just saw the game page on the steam store and am taking serious consideration into buying the game. does anyone know if there are more open minded discord servers to players who have never played a realistic tactical shooter/ or are new to the genre?

[near shale]

if youre open to learn and cooperate w/ your squad then you shouldn't have any issues
its the new players who dont care that people dislike

[random hound]

That’s completely valid; does the game automatically put you with a squad when you join a match? Or is it better to find a group to play with beforehand?

[near shale]

squads are created at the start of the match. Please do not create one if you arent willing to play Officer, because creating one and switching to a different class is frowned upon. Squads can be either locked on unlocked. You can join any unlocked squad, and you can ask for permission to join a locked squad

[random hound]

Awesome, that sounds like an appealing process; thanks for the information, I probably will go ahead and try it. Been looking to get into games like this for a while now

[near shale]

My country planing to have a big match in next week and both side all agree that we have to ban stalingrad because of bad optimize performance

Some one have very strong pc but not much fps provide

[narrow flame]

Enemy red zone is 100m, that's why you generally try to build them far away from enemy strongpoint/likely garrison locations and HQs. Or in the blue zone if it's near the edge.

[drowsy monolith]

Optimization still bad?

[sharp finch]

is t he fg42 worth focusing auto rifleman for

[next oasis]

no

[vernal vale]

The STG44 generally outperforms it and has a higher magazine capacity.

But I feel the FG42 has a softer recoil and of course style points.

[tight topaz]

Isn't The Fg42 Better meant for Medium Range Fighting?

[tight topaz]

Where as the STG44 Is good for Short and Medium?

[next oasis]

Both weapons have the exact same damage values

[tight topaz]

Yeah that's true,But each one is suited for A Different Situation.

[next oasis]

Not really. You aim and you click. They both have the same accuracy too.

[tight topaz]

But the FG42 can't be used in Close Quarters,

Where the STG44 Can be used in Either Close or medium range.

[next oasis]

What? What makes you think that?

They both perform identically.

[violet prawn]

The FG42 only comes with a scope, right?

[tight topaz]

Yeah

[violet prawn]

Yeah

Thats the kicker

[next oasis]

There is an unscoped one. The scoped on is for Recon

[violet prawn]

Unless you're hip firing, the scope might make life tricky-

WHEEEEEZE

Okay.

Didnt see that one yet.

[vernal vale]

The Automatic Rifleman FG42 is Full-Auto with Iron Sights.

The Sniper FG42 is Semi-Auto with a 4x Scope.

[violet prawn]

Tbh a sniper having an automatic weapon sounds hilarious to me

[next oasis]

It's not. The scoped one is semi

[vernal vale]

It was an adaptable "Commando" weapon for the paratroopers.

[lunar prawn]

Sometimes you just gotta full send it

[tight topaz]

Yeah It was

[tight topaz]

I see

[latent halo]

Fg42 is like an smg in cqc

[spiral elk]

Is there a U13 version of panzerschreck aim reference graph?

[jolly sedge]

Anyone looking for a team?

[prime quartz]

STG44 is the best gun in the game followed by any of the semi-auto rifles

although honestly the semi-auto rifles are just easier to get access to so they win out since the STG isn't that much better

[valid vigil]

We are Danny

..where is danny

[latent halo]

Stg is a level 0 role for auto rifle btwq

[prime quartz]

Yea but its like level 9 for assault

[latent halo]

ye

so?

[near shale]

It's only hard to get in comparison to the other much more common battle rifles

[latent halo]

but its a level 0 thing lol

you can use almost every weapon at level 0 except for a select few specific things

[near shale]

thinking on it, the svt is probably harder to get.
But the G43 is also lvl 0 and easier for other classes. while the M1 Garand is standard issue

like I said, only in comparison to other guns. The stg isnt actually hard to get

[tawny hedge]

M1 garand is a bit op to be standard issue imo

[dawn widget]

That’s why the US won the war

[tawny hedge]

Yep

Fr should get the bolt action instead tho and give the garand to assault lvl 0

[near shale]

no

under no circumstances

[tawny hedge]

Lol why

[near shale]

because the M1 was by far the most common weapon in the US army. If you dont have it as common, you dont have the US army.
What they can do is make it a relatively bad battle rifle. Such as a slower ads and more recoil, for example.

[tawny hedge]

That only makes it more imbalanced and more situational

Giving a bolt action similar to the kar98 and mosin would even it out in the best possible way

Especially since the m1 garand already equals the svt and g43

[near shale]

in mechanics. Not in terms of how they were used in the actual war. Sure this game twists certain things but switching out a standard issue rifle is extreme.

The M1 has to be balanced against the Kar and Mosin (disregarding any more complicated balancing ideas surrounding other classes). How it stacks up to the g43 and svt doesnt really matter.
So, compensate at close range w/ an ads nerf, so bolt actions are more likely to get the first shot to compensate for the many shots the garand is going to dish out. And increase the recoil to somewhat compensate at long range.
But replacing it is out of the question full stop

[latent halo]

springfield was not really used beyond africa and pacific theature

marines liked it because of its reliability and the terrain there

[near shale]

iirc some grenadiers were still using it in normandy

[tawny hedge]

As you said though, it’s a game and a game requires balance, and it seems the game is already lining this up with each faction having their own main of each weapon class, ppsh-mp40-Thompson etc

[latent halo]

wish theyd try and give russians a bombing run and add rocket strikes to other factions for like 200 mun and a long cooldown

current rocket strike is godawful compared to bombs

[near shale]

all of those factions did have smgs though, and were pretty common in all of them, and they mostly served the same role.

[latent halo]

and historically russians used bombs and flamers so idk why devs didnt give em flamers

[near shale]

you mean the flamethrower?

[latent halo]

ye

[near shale]

I see no reason for the roks to not be in but also that would unironically nerf the russian flamer class

[latent halo]

lmao yeah

flame thrower class should just have a secondary rifle

basically current loadout but with a rifle thrown in with maybe 8 extra clips

[near shale]

the issue then becomes balancing it w/ other support loadouts. A choice between a grenade and a flamethrower isnt hard. May just need to reconsider what class gets the item

[latent halo]

rn its completely unbalanced and i think trading between grenades and flames is a pretty good choice

one offers a bit more range and indirect while flames add sustain and spread

[near shale]

actually now that I think on it support probably needs a whole loadout rework anyway.

[latent halo]

feel bad for the devs who modeled the flames and the effects just for it to be shunned by most users because its terrible

managed to get over 20 kills with it on hill night once tho

pretty fun game with it, flanked alot and burned OPs

[near shale]

night maps are the best for it

maybe have the flamethrower kit get carbines, remove the smoke, and give stock support smoke. make flames linger longer for more utility and then it may be an interesting choice

[tawny hedge]

Heard a few people call the flamethrower bad but i don’t see what’s wrong with it, what is wrong with it?

[near shale]

too little range
only secondary is a pistol, forcing you into that range
slowed down and have reduced turn speed while ADS
flames have a delay before firing
Which all combines into a loadout that gets eaten alive

[tawny hedge]

I mean it’s a flamethrower it ain’t gonna have range lol

[near shale]

IRL flamethrowers actually have crazy range

[tawny hedge]

And it seems to destroy trenches and any remotely tight range

Yeah

Is there any way to put buckshot in the trench gun?

[near shale]

M2's can go from 20 to 40 meters
While its designed for that your slowness and delay means its not actually that good for close combat. And terrible for getting you into the trench

No there isnt buckshot

[tawny hedge]

Wow

So the trench gun is useless

M1 carbine, good or bad?

[near shale]

No? Trench gun has the range of an IRL shotgun, not a videogame shotgun. You can get some work done w/ it

I have not used the carbine in a long time. I simply dont play engineer or medic much

[tawny hedge]

I’m an officer so I’m stuck with it every time I’m US, doesn’t seem to one shot people even at point blank range and it’s a semi auto

[near shale]

US officer gets an smg as the starting loadout

[tawny hedge]

Yes but no

[prime quartz]

you are going to have more opportunities to use it with more classes unlocked

Especially since AR tends to draw players for the germans and its harder to find an open slot

whereas assault is usually free

[near shale]

In my experience it's the opposite

Though maybe that's my personal bias cause I think automan is lame & don't play it much

[void holly]

As someone who is nearing the 500 kill mark with it, I can agree with most things said here. I do think the range is fine as is if other mechanics around it were fixed. Fire in general stinks right now.

General Suggestions:
Better flame mechanics, ie spreading, specifically on wooden buildings and structures for both the FT and Molotovs.

Removing the ADS requirement to fire the flamethrower. It already has short range so giving it a much better assault capability by making it more mobile would benefit it.

For Molotovs specifically, some form of damage to tanks, nothing drastic, just to beef up the Soviet arsenal a bit more.

Despite the issues the Flamethrower is fun to use but only in very specific situations. Going building to building on maps like Kharkov or sitting on the intersection of a street on Carentan is great.

Another suggestion is to add suppression to the flames. That'll mess with the people just out of range or on fire from an indirect hit.

[turbid hedge]

A flamethrower or Molotov should cause issues for tanks, though it may be smarter to have it damage the tracks and Engine and nor the hull or Cannon.

[rugged blade]

😮

[turbid hedge]

Fire often affected engine intakes and Molotovs cooked and smoked out engines that needed clean air, and fire could destroy tracks. Molotovs were known for both Anti-Tank and anti personanell.

[sweet cliff]

Trench gun is buckshot with separately modeled projectiles

[sweet cliff]

You can see this for yourself if you shoot a repair station or tank or anything at HQ, you can count them.

[near shale]

I am an idiot I confused buckshot for slugs

[tawdry spear]

Currently pogging

[wet acorn]

are there any servers that work with a like campaign system or record stats of players etc? or basically something that tracks beyond a single game or gives some longevity to incentive

[sweet cliff]

Not really a thing, the game (outside of achievements) doesn't track stats, any stats a private server has is going to be only from what you played and community rcon which has some stats, and some servers use doesn't have like, a player total or anything

It's just map by map

[wet acorn]

😦

bit of a shame! but ty for the answer 🙂

[stray ingot]

Explain this to me?

[turbid hedge]

In WWII, Molotovs were thrown at engine intakes and view ports to smoke out those inside and to clog the engine with smoke. And the fires sometimes got inside the tank.

[pliant heron]

One question: Is the second equipment for the rifleman better than the first one? I mean u have a pistole for close encounters and a smoke granate for trench warfare.

[stray ingot]

Yes I understand this but the tracks i don’t see this stopping tank tracks. Lol bro you do realize you can bench press track pads right?

I work with them a lot and I seriously hate them

Metal and rubber

[turbid hedge]

At least then, the fire would both melt rubber but also cause the mechanisms to degrade. May not put it out of commission immediately but it could cause an already weak track or gear to malform enough to stop working on the already strained Tigers, or even really mess up a Recon.

[stray ingot]

Yea maybe 🤔 I guess it depends on a lot of factors now a M3 half track or grey hound could be knocked out by fire.

Tbh half tracks are kinda a let down when you see them in real life.

[turbid hedge]

Yeah, and with the game being Semi-realistic I doubt the effectiveness on anything more than a Luch or Greyhound would not be put in. At least on the wheels and Tracks. Should still have it mess up an engine. Even if faster that it usually would.

[near shale]

yes loadouts arent balanced

[tender carbon]

Place OP's outposts, try to get squad into cooperating and set goals on map like - atack there, defend here, move there

[outer thistle]

Helping the commander setup garrisons is a great thing too.

Encouraging someone in your squad to be support goes a long way, otherwise you can request a supply drop from the commander -located at the bottom of the marker list.

It can affect your overall fun sometimes, but it does help out the whole team.

[valid vigil]

Always use markers 👀

Play solo locked to begin with. Accept noone. Learn the role solo first. It'll make it easier, trust me!

Looking for people to play with on console

[vernal vale]

I suggest you check out #console-looking-for-unit and drop your username!

[maiden mason]

Hi. Are there any clans that play primarily out of australian/south pacific servers? Most of what i've seen in the recruitment channels are US, UK, or Europe. Ping is too high for me on those servers when i'm based in New Zealand.

[vernal vale]

Checkout #pc-divisions-recruitment but like you said nothing really stands out, if you drop your information in #pc-looking-for-unit hopefully someone will pick you up or direct you. - Also whilst server browsing don't be afraid to join some of the Australian Hosted Servers and check out their Discords.

[weary pond]

is the game still a black screen simulator

i played before but all i did was die

[gloomy grove]

If you're bad, then yes.

If you're willing to learn to be good, then no

[gloomy grove]

Assuming you're on PC, there is CHMA and GBI for OCE communities involved in competitive matches as well as community stuff. Maybe one called BigDGaming if that still exists?

You'd just need to hop on their game servers and find their discord which is probably linked

[proper spire]

yeah youve got Chimera, Garrybusters, 3PARA, TFK, then the BigD affiliate clans

[maiden mason]

Will do cheers

[maiden mason]

Thanks

[heavy belfry]

Will there ever be a free weekend?

I have some friends who want to give the game a shot

[unkempt storm]

If there is one planned, I wouldn’t expect it until June some point 🙂 (but no guarantee)

[sweet cliff]

Drew guarantees a free weekend you heard it here first

[minor jolt]

Do server owners still have to ask their community not to capture beyond mid territory until 20v20? I'm thinking about starting a HLL server but I really don't want to have to deal with the drama that comes with enforcing this kind of rule. I'd prefer such a rule be in place via server settings.

Same with like use of tanks, etc. Are there server settings available for this type of stuff yet?

[sweet cliff]

Not in engine but community rcon has some options for automatic punishing

It's never going to be perfect because the stuff is bolted on top and is inherently delayed

[minor jolt]

That's okay by me as long as it works and I don't have to put in any extra work after setting it up!

[astral egret]

Is the game still worth buying or not ?? I’m planning on buying it but I need someone to tell me if it’s worth it

[mystic stump]

What kind of FPS games do you usually enjoy?

[astral egret]

Battlefield 1 and 5, MW, enlisted, and a lot more but I personally prefer post scriptum

[mystic stump]

If you enjoy Post Scriptum, you'll probably enjoy HLL. There's less mil-sim aspects to this game, the maps are smaller. Matches run about the same time. But you'll never be starved for choice in terms of servers, unlike in P.S.

[grim tinsel]

But be prepared for games that could last a hour and half, when games last that long the server ends up becoming vacated and you either have to look for a new one, or hope that server your in fills up fast

Still a pretty good game though, I usually alternate to PS for armor and hll for armor here and there and infantry

[mystic stump]

I don't ever have that experience, except for if I'm playing on a server which is hosted from a region going into the late night.

[grim tinsel]

Yeah, I stopped experiencing it when i started playing offensive modes, wish it was more popular. Warfare is ok but could be really unfun depending on the situation

[mystic stump]

I feel the opposite, I typically steer clear offensive modes since they can drag on far too long for my taste. (if the defensive team does their job well, but not well enough to stop any captures)

[astral egret]

Ok thanks to you guys

I will problably buy it

[vernal night]

Hey guys, I have a question about the mechanics of tanks. Tanks have different health pools (Hull, turret, engine, tracks) and the hull one is the overall health of the tank. In the tank bible by The Line I read that hitting the barrel only affects the turret health pool but not the hull one. So I was wondering, does hitting the turret in general affect the hull health pool or not? Would it be possible to destroy a tank solely by hitting its turrent?

[latent halo]

I used to have defence points held till 1 min left on each point, it was hell

2 hr 30 min just to lose or even if I win I still feel lost

[mystic stump]

Yeah.. it's either a total steamroller or it lasts two hours haha

[latent halo]

And then it loads into Omaha offensive us side

[bitter sapphire]

need players for a CLAN of 8 people

[violet prawn]

Or Stalingrad

Yeah... me and my pals didn't have a good match

[gloomy grove]

Yes, getting a penetration shot on the turret will damage the hull. See the tank bible for number of shots to kill each tank via turret only penetrations

[vernal night]

Okay, thank you 🙏

[sweet cliff]

Turret but not barrel

You're not killing tanks with barrel shots

[latent halo]

or cupola

you can destroy turret with cup but not hull

[regal grove]

Got my first kill not long into my first game 🤌🏻

[crude obsidian]

rude

killing is pretty mean man

[south hare]

i got this game a few days ago

i was able to get 25 kills without dying 😎

and 30 tank kills

[quasi nova]

Most I survived was 1h 16m in a tank crew. That crew was ace. We were all level 40-70 at the time and we didn’t even know each other.

[south hare]

Yeah. I just start up random squads

and people join

[bitter sapphire]

anyone looking for a small chill clan to join? I got about 5 people that play daily and want to add upon that

[sly crown]

Ya.I'm rank 70+ and play regularly under Tom3dots

[bitter sapphire]

yea im trying to just form a casual small squad or two, nothing crazy. youre welcome to join if youre chill

[sly crown]

YA sounds great.I'm Irish we chilling here on our little island. How do i find ye?

[wooden narwhal]

Using the recruitment channel is probably better than advertising here

[bitter sapphire]

ok thanks!

[outer thunder]

Hey guys

are ther any Rps dor HLL?

[south jacinth]

i just got the game, joined a random server and i got banned for 5k days

banned from server not game btw

[sweet cliff]

How come

[south jacinth]

Idk wierd experience

[cyan onyx]

hello all

[violet prawn]

RPs?

For HLL??

Now that's a concept

[tight topaz]

[next oasis]

[waxen ember]

Is anyone looking for a clan but don’t know which one to join? 3/5 is recruiting

[placid lark]

I'm looking for a group to play with, been doing a lot of research, mostly watching monoespacial on YT. Only lv 30 something

New to the discord as well

[unkempt storm]

Hi there friend 👋 🙂 you may have better luck finding something casual here #console-looking-for-unit , or there are more formal clans/divisions here #console-divisions-recruitment

[carmine kettle]

Gonna destroy all of you

[unkempt storm]

That’s rude

Spare some of us

[valid vigil]

no, leave none standing!

🦖

[topaz basin]

Hey folks, looking for a chill group that's cool with teaching someone some of the finer points of the game to play with

i usually like playing medic, but have some light experience with squad lead and what not. would like to learn

[late ermine]

Looking on EU or NA server ?

[topaz basin]

NA

[late ermine]

Sorry i'm on EU with ukll

[topaz basin]

ah bummer

[languid galleon]

hey man, im looking to join, level 10 commander, level 8 SL

is it for HLL ? or enlisted ?

[waxen ember]

3/5 is recruiting for console we’re accepting all!

[tight topaz]

It's for Hll

[fallen torrent]

So if I make a video on hll. I can put that in the hll video channel or should I ask permission before doing that

[unkempt storm]

you are free to post it so long as it doesnt contain any absurdities 🙂

[fallen torrent]

Like what?

[unkempt storm]

swearing, racism, etc., the common things

[fallen torrent]

Ok ok

[violet prawn]

Which is confusing on the swearing part since its a World War game

We see players get turned into bits but swear words ain't it?
Confusion

[unkempt storm]

The material/content in game isn’t required to follow Discord’s community guidelines

[violet prawn]

And swearing somehow isn't allowed on discord, when like every server in existence allows it or something worse? Or is there something I'm missing

Feels like sumn I'm missing

[unkempt storm]

Swearing in 90% of circumstances doesn’t lead to or promote engaging conversations, it’s to err the side of caution.

[violet prawn]

Uhm

Kay

I guess

Tbh not what I was expecting but fair enough

[unkempt storm]

Additionally, discord itself will flag/block most of the swear words, although the automod as a server option is in talks to be adjusted

[sweet cliff]

can we use the vacuum word please

[unkempt storm]

Why, do you wanna say it 🧐🧐🧐🧐

So you can talk about my medics some more 🥺

[latent halo]

Medic

[unkempt storm]

adds “medic” to list

[signal harness]

love that d e a d g a m e is on the list

[unkempt storm]

The word Frank is about to be the next victim, keep it up

[sudden spire]

is this game like squad but WW2?

[next oasis]

No, it isn't

[sudden spire]

lol

i saw a tiktok about the mohawk paratroopers i just wanna jump and kill

[latent halo]

that would be post scriptum

[violet prawn]

Mohawk paratroopers...

You're probably thinking of Enlisted. I saw those on there recently.

Plus you never really see soldier models here without helmets.

[latent halo]

my bolt action figures have some mohawk troopers

not that ive constructed any, just sprues for now

[vocal venture]

[rose coral]

When will there be more NAW servers

[past terrace]

Hello hello

Yo

[visual adder]

so i have the game on my ps5 is there anyway i can transfer over to pc without buying the game again

[vernal vale]

There is no Cross-Buy or Cross-Progression Support, you'll need to purchase the game again but you can offset your Progression Loss by using the Bob's Builder Booster Server.

[shy sentinel]

Hit reg is very broken. It should get an immediate hot fix, but you know... game breaking bugs have never drawn the attention of the dev team

[next oasis]

It's been an issue since U9, it's not a new thing

[crimson mural]

Can some help me play the game? I downloaded it two days ago on my Xbox and PC and I am unable to find a host or a server. I have tried resting my router, changing my IP address, switched DMZ, UPNP, switched servers to UK and US, and still nothing.

[sage pulsar]

how many tks till you get kicked

[grand zinc]

Like 5

[valid vigil]

I've artied more than that. Pfft.

At least 10.

If anyone wants help getting settled in HLL let me know and I'll take you through the game

[spare cloak]

I’m relatively new to being a squad leader, and I ran into a problem where my squad was not communicating with me, as well as ignoring everything I said. The other squad leaders, as well as command, encouraged me to kick the people who weren’t talking, as we were losing and we really needed to be working together. I did so, after asking if anyone had a mic a few more times, but some of the guys came back into my squad to shame me. Was I in the wrong? I’d rather avoid repeating that if it was a mistake.

[violet prawn]

Eeeh, don't think you were

Communication is a big part of this game

If they weren't even working with you, well, why bother keeping em

[frosty vessel]

is there any sort of freecam system in Hell Let Loose?

[tight topaz]

spectating?

[frosty vessel]

is there any kind of way the camera can detach and roam freely? I've never played the game before.

[tight topaz]

not while your playing, but if your on PC you can spectate a match but on console you cant

[frosty vessel]

ok gotcha, so if one is spectating on PC, can one make the camera roam freely or is it just limited to various player 1P and 3P views?

[tight topaz]

yes you can move the camera around freely, but spectating only works on PC ( Just to let you know)

[frosty vessel]

gotcha thanks

[sweet cliff]

you have to have admin cam permissions on the server you're on to use that though

(people are not just going to hand that out)

[tight topaz]

your Very welcome, Uf you need anything else don't hesitate to tag me. 🙂

[frosty vessel]

Would I have to ask the admin(s) of the server for the admin cam permissions?

[frosty vessel]

thank you!

[sweet cliff]

Yes you would have to ask them, do not expect anyone to give it to you

[frosty vessel]

gothca, thanks

[sweet cliff]

I believe most GSPs have options to rent servers for as little as a few days though

[frosty vessel]

Ok gotcha. GSPs?

[uneven flare]

where the mods at 💀

[vernal vale]

I don't think a 10 Minute Response Time is too bad.

[vernal vale]

This is a solid idea, I'll be sure to pass it on.

Also, whilst I'm sure Jag. doesn't mind the direct ping the @.HLL Moderator Role Ping is typically best for a speedy turn around.

[dawn widget]

ah okay, I just saw he was the only one on the list online at the time and I didn't wanna spam ping a bunch of people

[uneven flare]

Didn’t mean that in a disrespectful way or anything, I just feel like that whenever the mods are active, nothing happens but then as soon as they go away, the bad stuff starts lol

[vernal vale]

I understand and certainly appreciate that, but most of us have experience in the role and have notifications set accordingly so never feel like you're bothering anyone so long as it's a genuine reason. 🙂

[gritty plaza]

It's still in #mess-hall

And possibly other channels

[vernal vale]

I was just poking fun. 🙂

[vernal vale]

I've cleared all visible channels, but I don't appear to have access to this particular one.

Can you please specify which and I'll check it out?

[gritty plaza]

You don't have access to mess hall?

#mess-hall message

[vernal vale]

Would it happen to be the Supporters Mess Hall, or is Discord hiccuping on my end?

[gritty plaza]

Yes

As in, that is the channel

[vernal vale]

I unfortunately do not have access to that channel.

[gritty plaza]

[unkempt storm]

These are not the droids you are looking for

[gritty plaza]

Locked behind PC Player role I suppose

[vernal vale]

Yeah, I'm not sure of the exact criteria but I assumed it was special legacy channel for Kickstarter Backers and Early Adopters. 🙂

[reef nest]

Good maps for beginners, anyone?

[uneven flare]

would probably be best to avoid eastern front maps

[wooden narwhal]

all of them

don't avoid maps, learn to adjust your playstyle according to the map layout

[reef nest]

I just played a match.
And I was so cautious, I checked behind every corner.

I checked the map, and the front lines were pushed up more than double my distance from HQ spawn... 💀

Hey,
So I just leveled up my rifleman and noticed that the germans all have the M43 grenade except for the rifleman loadout at lvl3. The has the shg24. Apart from being not as noisy as the M43 are there any differences?

Good afternoon ladies/gentlemen. How can I obtain the free winter DLC? I was unable to locate it in the steam shop

[unkempt storm]

It’s released seasonally, so unfortunately you’ll have to wait until next winter roles along 😦

[restive terrace]

Thank you I appreciate it, would that be around October/November?

[unkempt storm]

Honestly it somewhat varies, I’d probably pin it more towards November/December/January

[restive terrace]

Sounds good thank you!

[candid jacinth]

ive heard the two hand grenades for germans are functionally similar so getting conflicting reports here. did you do any tests/have sources?

[autumn rose]

Longer usage time

The grenade itself functions the same aside from it taking longer to throw animation wise

All grenades function the same

They're grenades...

i have watched all the tutorials for every class, and still i continue to die with no idea where from can someone help

no matter where i go or what i do i just keep dying over and over and getting like 5 kills a game

i cant watch anymore tutorials because ive seen them all

and practise clearly isnt helping because i have played for a week and still play the same

[tight topaz]

Have you tried playing with friends? Also do you Rush? If you do I suggest you layback a little bit and watch, and another Piece of advice is DO NOT CROSS IN A OPEN FIELD!!!! most of the time Its a Death Sentence

[valid vigil]

Rush the enemy, always cross open fields, turn off voice chat and turn up Mr Blue Sky

Who needs friends when you can defeat an entire army on your own?

[tight topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/awkward-umm-what-what-gif-14694719

[river monolith]

Even as an experienced player you'll end up dying a lot from god knows where, but usually take it slow, any experience you have from a CoD or BF or any other fast paced shooter gotta let that go it also takes some time to adapt to the slower pace and spotting people but in time you'll figure it out

[gloomy grove]

If you see the person who kills you, chances are you probably should have just killed them already? You should really only die from people you don't see

[violet prawn]

There is this thing called missing

It happens a lot

Ysee it happens when the bullet you fire at your desired target does not impact said target but something else around said target, resulting in a missed shot.

[vale grail]

Been playing this game for weeks but how the actual f####! do you throw grenade further then 2 feets infront of you? This is driving me nuts lol. (I know about the underarm throw left mouse and overarm right arm). Im on PC.

[stoic hollow]

skill issue honestly

[violet prawn]

Have you tried right clicking

[vale grail]

nevermind i found out for some reason i managed to switch in keybind.

went into empty server to figure it out just now

Forget i asked lol 👍

[unkempt storm]

this was wholesome

[vale grail]

I been playing several weeks without grenades cause of this.. I swear this is first game i ever had a problem like this and i couldnt find anything when searching for it. Been handicapping myself few weeks now. 😂

Didnt bother using them. cause every damn grenade just went right in front of my feets lol!

[empty heron]

guys the game price went from RS 899 to RS 2999

@mystic stump ggs

[mystic stump]

ggs, you talking about the broken arrow match?

[latent halo]

yeah

[mystic stump]

yea my crew tried but we got a bit screwed on cluster 🥵

[latent halo]

we double pushed the town and cleared your team out

my crew got a double 76 kill somewhere round half way in the game that really helped

[mystic stump]

can imagine yea haha

were you in the crew on cobru factory during that first tank fight?

[latent halo]

we were the luchs in first tank

so if you were medium you prob killed us

[mystic stump]

oh sorry meant the first tank fight on cobru factory. tiger v 76

[latent halo]

dont think so

[latent halo]

watched the vod and that was the other crew

[harsh sonnet]

Is there any way to get through barbed wire or is it just a hurty wall like I assumed?

I thought it just blocked places off completely but i s2g i saw somebody crawl through it today

[latent halo]

It's a loud wall

[unkempt storm]

Static wire on the map, no, although engineers can "cut through" player built wire. Sometimes there may be a teeny gap people can crawl through, but on a general basis, it's as Noa said, a loud wall

[violet prawn]

Yeah, the easiest way to go through the player wire and all is just going in a vehicle right through it

Long as you don't hit the ends you're good

[vale grail]

Is there no "Feedback channel" here?

Every time i hit [tab] while im redeploying countdown the game freezes 9 out of 10 times. It also happens frequently if zoom in on map during redeploying countdown.. (while dead is the only time i usually bother looking at the scoreboard) Is this a know bug? playing on steam version.

[unkempt storm]

#1097866142028152944 and #1098158460463480842 🙂

(Can’t say I’ve heard of this being an issue)

[vale grail]

It happens to me like almost everytime only if opening scoreboard while redeploying as i said. I go check my task manager and HLL is using 100% videomemory. I don't know if its a memory leak or so no idea. My computer is really stable and i have like almost zero crashes and freeze in other games, that why im pretty certain its the game and not my specs.

The game menus seems very unstable in general.. In main menu i get freezes and fps drops and alot in "barracks loadout". Its kinda weird a games menu is giving me more problems then actually being in the game. (They should also just uncap the fps in menu when they fix problems like this or give it as an option to PC players).

[unkempt storm]

Ahh I see, I wish I could lend some advice but unfortunately I’m worthless in that department, although I’m sorry you’re having the issue. In the alternative of posting a “report an issue”, you could also try messaging @main bough if you’d perhaps want to troubleshoot, he’s pretty big brain 🧠

[vale grail]

☝️ 👍 In game at the moment. I'll try posting it later. Maybe the devs already aware of this issue im not sure. (They should have a "Known issue list that we are working on) here on Discord so we can know if its allready something they know about.

[unkempt storm]

There are a few listed in #report-an-issue , although I’m sure some fall through the cracks, so to speak 😦

But regardless as long as a report is made - they’ll look into it 🙂

[vale grail]

For sure! As i almost can replicate the crash issue by doing what i mentioned earlier i hope its something they look into. Will report later hopefully when im not occupied in game 😄

[fossil basalt]

how can i react to messages with emojis? i see some people is able to do it. but i'm unable to do. 🙁

[wooden narwhal]

Yessir 🙂 although there may be a slight delay between it being reflected

in the barracks, etc

[void swan]

Oh ok, thx, so it’s applied but i won’t see it as soon as I get back on?

[unkempt storm]

correct, everything is saved as it's earned, you'll only miss out on the end of round bonuses

[void swan]

K thx

[sick stump]

Hi, Is it me or new player servers are just zerging without Comms?

[gritty plaza]

It's an issue on all servers, but on "new player friendly" servers, you're likely to run into more players who have no idea what they're doing or even what game they are playing

[sick stump]

ya thats the thing, i joined new players server expecting to learn something...squad doesnt use mics and just random roam map

😄

[gritty plaza]

Generally, look for squads that at the very least have an SL. If one doesn't, chances are low people care much about teamplay. And definitely dont hesitate to request to join locked squads. Often locking is just a way to keep shy or uncaring people out

[violet prawn]

Not always though

[gritty plaza]

Yes, not always. If you have no other choice, join any squad, and ask.

[violet prawn]

If all else fails

Just say mic check

USUALLY someone piped up when I did

If not later

[latent halo]

Modern cods dont even let you stay in a lobby to play against similar people a few times

[unkempt storm]

This is absurd!

[latent halo]

Ye I stopped playing after mw 2019, and only got that one because of gunsmith

But lots of other shooters realized how good of a system that was and implemented similar things

[carmine kettle]

Prepare to get destroyed

[noble adder]

I just got the game and want to know how to not die

[latent halo]

dont run in the open

shoot enemies

[sweet cliff]

just read the new players guide so you understand how spawns/game modes work and then shoot the enemy it's not that complicated.

[next oasis]

Anywhere in green applies the same amount of damage

[noble adder]

thanks

wheres the general channel?

[violet prawn]

#mess-hall should be thatc

Otherwise there's PC and console general chats

[left ice]

just downloaded the game today im on ps5 anyone wanna play

[sudden raptor]

been thinking about getting this game after weeks and weeks, any tips for a newbie ?

[lost needle]

Dont get frustrated and take your time. Mic is always appreciated. Play a few games before takin on a command role. Knowledge is key in this game 😉

[sick notch]

You must glue yourself to whatever substantial amount of cover you can find

If you are in the open your life expectency is a few seconds

[neat relic]

Just got the game. I come from Squad, Insurgency and RS2. Anything similar or different to these games I should know?

[mystic stump]

Pace is faster than Squad, slower than RS2. Partially because the map size is inbetween the two.

[thorn magnet]

does this server have channels to join ppl to play with or how does it work i kinda dont wanna solo queue

[tight topaz]

If your on console go to this section #console-looking-for-unit ,But if your on PC go to this one #pc-looking-for-unit ,Hope this Helps

[fossil basalt]

what mod exactly? sorry. i didnt understand you 🙁

[unkempt storm]

Some channels anyone is able to react to messages with emojis, other channels only certain discord roles have certain permissions.

[sweet robin]

@tight topaz how do I get access to that console section you posted? Mine says no access. Thanks

[sweet cliff]

grab a console role in #readme-rules

[sweet robin]

@sweet cliff Thanks! Sorry, downloading the game so I am a total newb for this game. Really want to find some people who use their mics and communicate so I can enjoy the game while I learn.

[neat relic]

hey does anyone know why servers are full even though the player count says it's less than 100?

[gloomy grove]

VIP slots will reserve empty positions for those with VIP. So if the admins set 2 slots, then the server will always attempt to save 2 slots.

Example:
If at 98/100 and someone leaves the server, the next person in the queue can join.
If at 98/100 and a VIP attempts to join then they will make the server 99/100. If someone then leaves then it just drops to 98/100 and the queue does not move

[neat relic]

thanks for the info, that makes a lot of sense

[gloomy grove]

Admins can set however many they want. Some russian server used to have 40 VIP slots for some reason

[neat relic]

it's kind of annoying trying to find a server and seeing that it's full

[gloomy grove]

For sure. Try joining a server between 50 and 80

[neat relic]

sounds good, thanks for the advice

[gloomy grove]

If you run into an issue with joining one of those, then the game just ended. Keep spamming for a few minutes and you'll get in

It's not possible to join a server where the match has ended

So you just wait for the map flip

[distant summit]

joining at map change is best - your fave servers may offer web/discord which will give visibility into upcoming maps and vip to allow for queue skip - have fun

[glacial hawk]

Someone invite me to a private server. I'm trynna game rn

[tight topaz]

@hushed badgeCould you Please help him out (if you don't mind)?

as I cant seem to see what the problem is?

[unkempt storm]

This has been addressed ^

[signal beacon]

hey new player here unsure what to be doin.

[distant summit]

once u get in a server - join an infantry squad (don't create one) and report to the officer - they will get you sorted!

[nova flower]

Run into the field

Shoot at the muzzle flash

Throw smokes and crouch sprint

Profit

[signal beacon]

instructions unclear, threw rifle at the enemy

[nova flower]

i love this game

tryna cross the bridge

[blazing peak]

hello

[graceful terrace]

Lately, the teams I’ve been with, have had no trouble attacking on offensive. But defending in the offensive game mode… it’s been a struggle lately.

[violet prawn]

Funny story

One time my squad and a couple others were trying to get to the other side from the catwalk under the bridge

Yet they couldn't get past the Americans that were already there

And apparently ALL IT TOOK was me to come down there, with my funny MG34 (Which I prefer the 42 because lovely sight picture AND more brrt), and laying down funny death at the not-so-funny Americans

All it took was one guy with an MG to come down there for them to actually break through the Americans down there and get to the other end

[woeful ocean]

where can i get help with the whole servers not availible issue

[sweet cliff]

Have you checked #tech-solutions and if so try #1097866142028152944

[woeful ocean]

i think it should be sorted now

thank you 👍

[old creek]

do we know when the new skirmish mode will be out ? or approx date ? thanks

[deep adder]

Hey)
How can I find someone who can help me with basics?)

[unkempt storm]

No date, but not until later in the year at least 🙂

[limber quiver]

I need that too 🙂

[zinc path]

Hello all! just picked up the game on a whim because I like the concept

oh wow. this is very deadly

[unkempt storm]

Hello 🙂 👋

[untold glade]

Incredibly.

[zinc path]

how can I go about getting involved with something of a team? seems close teamwork is pretty important

[untold glade]

Extremely. You gotta work with your squad and the platoon as a whole to get things done.

[unkempt storm]

Peruse through #pc-divisions-recruitment to find one of your liking 🙂

[silver nimbus]

just got the game

[tight topaz]

Welcome, How r ya?

[midnight tartan]

If anyone needs help learning the basics or even a particular role, feel free to message me.

[misty coyote]

just got the game looking for help

[hardy pond]

how do you create a recon unit and get sniper? everytime i do it i get the spotter but i see some guys as soon as the game starts they become snipers right away

[sweet cliff]

You can't, when you make a recon squad you have to be spotter, you can only join a pre existing one to be sniper

[hardy pond]

ive never played sniper because of this. how can i play sniper if even if join first i get spotter?

[next oasis]

join after it's created

[sweet cliff]

You can't, when you make a recon squad you have to be spotter, you can only join a pre existing one to be sniper

Just like you can't join a non existing infantry squad and be AT or whatever, someone has to open the squad as SL first

[steady reef]

This bits new tho right? I swear you use to be able to swap off Officer, now you can’t

[next oasis]

you can leave the Unit, then come back in to choose another class

[steady reef]

Yeah only if someone else in right

[next oasis]

yes

[sweet cliff]

Been this way for years I think

[junior raft]

When is free weekend ? I got two friends that want to try the game before buying it 😮

[soft wagon]

Tell them to buy it and if they don’t like it just refund it

[junior raft]

Well you cant just say if you like the game after one match

[half dust]

Just got the game on PC, looking forward to playing with you all

[hybrid hull]

any pc tips i should know

[distant summit]

center mouse button pings targets to your squad - right mouse button underhands nades = bad nade

[hardy pond]

does the sniper not kill in chest everytime?

[next oasis]

The bolt action sniper rifles are always a one shot down.

[hardy pond]

i got like 4 hit markers but only 1 kill and im pretty sure i hit the chest

[next oasis]

You're either missing or hitting unrendered cover assets. It's always a one shot.

[dawn widget]

Same! Lets get on

[viscid escarp]

can someone helo me out with a tech issue?

I joined a regiment but decided to part ways with them, i dont remember how they set my clan tag to theirs but now im stuck with their tag in game and dont know how to change it

[sweet cliff]

it's in the options, gameplay something like that

unless it's your steam name, that you would hcange in your steam profile

[viscid escarp]

i honestly dont see it in the options

[hollow cave]

[clear raft]

does anyone else have trouble finding servers?

im not sure how to fix it ive tried doing what the game suggests

[knotty dew]

im having same problem. changed server browser ping like steam directed, but game still cant find any servers

[cloud lake]

I'm having issues with the anti cheat on pc can anyone help?

[stark moon]

There's a lot of easy-anti-cheat issues solved in #tech-solutions just use the search up top and you'll find them all.

[fringe hatch]

me too

[acoustic laurel]

I have the issue where I become friends with someone for 30min only to never see them again after they die infront of me

[steady reef]

LMFAO

[arctic void]

Idk if this is the place to ask but I was wondering if anyone could explain nodes/fortifications and anti tank guns to me

[slate sentinel]

This is the perfect place for that, what in particular would you like an explanation for?

Just in general or a specific feature?

[arctic void]

Kind of a general breakdown tbh. I only have 10 or less hours in and I understand garrisons outposts etc but I’m still confused by nodes, airheads and stuff like supply trucks. I’d also throw in the question of wether or not you can switch up your roles load out (for example add more grenades to a rifleman class)

[slate sentinel]

Alright, so to start off:
Nodes generate resources for your team which are the values at the top of the map and the scoreboard. There's a manpower node which let's you spawn in the various classes. The Munitions node which allows the commander to call in things like bombing runs, precision strikes, etc. but it also provides both AT guns and the artillery with ammunition. And finally the Fuel node which allows the commander to spawn in tanks and other vehicles

[nova cargo]

I was also very confused on that when i squad leaded for the first time on litterly my first match ever xd, a very kind guy teached me a abaout placing respawn points

[slate sentinel]

Airheads are essentially a spawn the commander can call in anywhere on the map that stays around for 2 minutes before dissapearing, but they can also be dismantled by enemy infantry if they get close

Now the supply truck essentially allows you to bring 300 supplies anywhere on the map. You can drive it around and drop off one crate of 150 supplies or both crates with 300

Those crates can be refilled if you drive back to any of the HQs and get near the scaffolding looking structure

They're really useful for getting a full set of nodes up as each one costs 50 with a full set coming to 150 which is one crate

And as for your final question, unfortunately you can't customize the loadout presets in any way outside of how the devs have hard-coded them

If a class comes with 2 grenades, it will forever have 2

There are certain loadouts that have more or fewer grenades but they need to be unlocked and equipped

[arctic void]

And officers and the commander are the only ones that can pick up said supplies and use them to build garrys and outposts right?

[slate sentinel]

Those supplies can be used to build garrisons, fortifications or even AT guns

But yes, Officers and the Commander are the only ones who can build garrisons

[arctic void]

Do outposts consume supplies and do officers start with a certain amount

[slate sentinel]

Outposts are totally free to build

[arctic void]

Ok but the officer needs to collect enough supplies to build a garrison

[slate sentinel]

Yes

50 in friendly (blue) territory and 100 in enemy (red) territory

[arctic void]

And I assume engineers can only build fortifications like bunkers if they have enough munitions

[slate sentinel]

Yes, they need a certain amount of supply to build and upgrade fortifications

[arctic void]

Ok thanks for the info. As a side question tho, are fortifications worth the supplies or would building garrisons be more efficient

[slate sentinel]

Depends on the situation

If a garrison is already established on or near an objective you're defending then trucking in some supply crates and fortifying an objective can sometimes be very useful

Plus support players will always be more effective for establishing garrisons than a truck

[arctic void]

Is their a limit to supplies or no

[slate sentinel]

As far as I'm aware, no

You can have a concerning number of crates

At least as far as truck crates and air drops go

[arctic void]

From the few matches I’ve played it seems like all trucks get destroyed in the first 10ish minutes and are out for the rest of the game. If your supply truck gets knocked out are you screwed until the commander orders one in or does that spawn back in

[slate sentinel]

The commander would have to call another supply truck in

[arctic void]

Oh ok that’s what those symbols were. I thought I was doing something wrong because I couldn’t redeploy on the parachute symbol lol. Airdrops are the bomb things that get parachuted down right

[slate sentinel]

Those are the ones

[arctic void]

Aright again thanks for all the clarifications. I shouldn’t be getting as absolutely obliterated as I have been hopefully

[normal sun]

How do I ask the commander where to put a supply drop? Do I just say the letter and number square I want or do I have to be more specific? Trying to learn how to be squad lead but it’s a bit confusing.

[arctic void]

I assume it’s just the letter and number square. Pretty small boxes compared to the map. Maybe a “lower left corner” if you need to be very precise

[harsh sonnet]

grid square callouts, you can do a numpad to do smaller divisions if you want

for instance "yankee-seven keypad 1"

[light solar]

Algum português

[haughty jacinth]

Does playing inside the objectives and capturing them gives more exp?

[obsidian igloo]

You could also say on my supply marker, Just drop a marker on the map and tell him about it.

[obsidian igloo]

Yes they do.

[tight topaz]

It sure does.

[obtuse fable]

Should i buy hell let loose ps5 if i like fast tac shoot alot etc?

[arctic void]

I’m brand new (playing on pc) and I’d say no. It’s a very slow game with each match taking 90 minutes and not a lot of action. I find it super fun to creep around support teammates and try and spot enemies but it’s an acquired game for most

[tender rivet]

When I do alt+f3 it pulls up the nvidia game filters but my mouse is controlling the character and not the filter menu. Any fixes?

[violet prawn]

If not more, depending on how the Offensive modes go

Since 30 minutes per point, timer resets on capture

[arctic void]

Yeah good point. That’s gotta be the most rewarding and frustrating mode tbh

[violet prawn]

Its my preferred mode

Least everyone can't screw up AS BAD in that one unlike Warfare

[arctic void]

Lol yeah. I’ve only played it twice and when I got to go on the attack it was looking like an epic comeback (we’d takin the second point with seconds to spare) but the third cap point was in the middle of a bunch of open fields. Rough introduction to the game

[violet prawn]

Open maps are all over the place in this game

Some of them I do not like

Like Kursk.

Can't see crap.

[tender rivet]

Use nvidia game filters if you can get the menu to work. When I open with alt+f3 it doesn’t navigate the menu /:

[tender rivet]

It thinks I’m still playing the game and controls my character

[violet prawn]

As in cant see crap due to the GRASS

I'm on bloody Xbox, why would I use Nvidia

[tender rivet]

Ah

Oh I didn’t see that 💀

[violet prawn]

Not to mention the trenches are hogwash

Can't even use them to shoot because, hooray, the grass blocks all vision

💀

[arctic void]

Dude grass confounds me. When I go prone in it I can’t see past my rifle. Then I get domed by a dude who’s crawling around like some sort of psychopath

[violet prawn]

PRECISELY

Least I can do is go around enough to where I am still a bit covered in greenery AND can see

But then some GOD can just sniff me out like a foxhound

[arctic void]

Playing Stalingrad as the Germans feels the same. The Russian brown blends in way to well

[violet prawn]

NOW THAT

YEAH

Never could see them in the rubble of buildings

First or second match I used a bloody house's ruins to pop a few guys until they actually saw me

[arctic void]

Bunch of little rats. The only way I can get a kill is if they silhouette themselves

They never do

[arctic void]

Yeah I tried that. Worked pretty good

[violet prawn]

It really does

[violet prawn]

Couldn't find a guy near my OP once

Then I saw him at the top floor of a ruin

He was prone. Floating in the air.

[arctic void]

The problem is how realistic the action on the guns are. After my first shot all the smoke and air from the muzzle completely blinds me to what I was shooting at

[violet prawn]

The recoil messes me up sometimes

Good luck with the PPSH

That recoil KILLS me

[arctic void]

Oof

I was halfway through a battle on Stalingrad when I realized my officer had left. Big realization after respawning at a garrison kms away

[arctic void]

Spray and pray. I’ll take my K98

[violet prawn]

Like I see consolers like

Actually not have much muzzle climb and whatnot

And I'm like

THEYRE PULLING THE STICK DOWN SO DANG MUCH!

Or SOME sorcery!

[arctic void]

I just recently switched to using keyboard and mouse for my pc (basically after I got hll) and although it feels great some of these monsters aim is weird

Theirs nothing like getting domed by a machine gun

[violet prawn]

I domed MANY a man with an MG

Its fun

Whats also fun is flanking a bunch of Americans alone

Then gunning them down to the point a few had to come for me in the house i was in

[nova flower]

Machine Gunners are easy pickings on PC

You see them mount up all excited thinking they’re about to annihilate your team

Then you just bop em in a bush

[violet prawn]

Tbf thats the same case on console

I speak from experience

Couple bursts

Immediately dead

[arctic void]

Theirs something immensely (Ik this sounds facist) satisfying about gunning down American soldiers and idk why

[violet prawn]

Like... okay

[violet prawn]

EEEEERIKA

And uh tbh

I prefer the 42 over the 34

Better sight picture, more ammo

Juicy fire rate

[nova flower]

Obviously lmao

The 42 was the replacement for the 34

[violet prawn]

Myes

[nova flower]

Though I’ve never had to use the 34, by the time it came out in game I already had a high enough level machine gunner to keep using the 42

[violet prawn]

Ugh

The 34 really was nice to use

I'm not going to lie

But I never quite liked working with the irons

Don't know why, I just didn't

[arctic void]

Wait how

Don’t you have to play as an mger to level up

[nova flower]

I've owned the game long enough that at some point the MG34 was new lmao

When the game was launched the MG42 was the only german machine gun

[violet prawn]

You do to get the MG42

nowadays

[arctic void]

Oh ok

[violet prawn]

Did you forget about each role having loadouts?

[arctic void]

I think they should make machine gunning a two man job with one belt feeder and one shooter. As it stands the mgs are op especially the MG42

[violet prawn]

No.

Just.

No.

[arctic void]

No I was just wondering how you could get the mg42 without leveling up your load out

[violet prawn]

These are not crew weapons

They're not HMGs

[arctic void]

I mean it would be historically accurate

Tbf

[violet prawn]

But not fun.
