[gloomy grove]

Definitely. You can have fun losing. You rarely have fun in a quiet squad

[hardy birch]

since I have no mic, I use text chat alottt

I want a mic but I really don’t like wearing my headphones

[indigo prawn]

okay the game is so sick

[hardy birch]

Ill ask advice in text support bout this

[indigo prawn]

any good servers?

[hardy birch]

10/10

[unkempt storm]

🧂

[indigo prawn]

its like BF 1 but the maps are way bigger

[hardy birch]

mmmmm

I think this has x100000 realism

Rn I have a few germans in my team only complaining about render and texture issues and I told em to just shh and play but they won’t listen

everyone knows the game has that but who cares yk just enjoy n play

[indigo prawn]

mhm

how you get vip tho?

Custum guns and loadout?

[hardy birch]

does the ms ping for a server have alot of effect on the gameplay?

[spice tartan]

Silenced garand mmmm

[hardy cedar]

wait, is this for real?

[spice tartan]

So I’ve heard

[unkempt storm]

You are banished

[spice tartan]

: D

[hardy cedar]

no because i am about to buy the game and if silencers are an option, i will rather throw the money out od the window

[unkempt storm]

no silencers

raibe should be muted

slightly jk

[spice tartan]

I was trolling, it’s not a thing here

Yet

[spice tartan]

Mute me and snap my neck daddy

[unkempt storm]

lmfao

i cant

no straps

[hardy cedar]

phew, i was worried for a second... you never know with modern games

tnx, will get the game since its out of EA (aint nobody gonna charge me 40€ for ea)

[spice tartan]

Lol i have to say nothing changed with ‘out of EA’

[hardy cedar]

i know, but still

[spice tartan]

Your rule means nothing in this case

It wasnt 40 during EA either

You should have bought during EA in this case : D

For a discount

[hardy cedar]

im aware, and im. content paying more for full release

[spice tartan]

No choice now

[fringe berry]

Oh my god i just saw it thank you so much!

[hardy cedar]

its like a woman saying that she only needs a drink and shell be yours but she might or might not have both tits compared to one that wants a lobster but claims to have both tits

i can atleast punch the lobster one in the face and feel good about it if ahe is missing one of them

(not that i have anything against <2 tits)

[hardy birch]

10/10 comparisson👏

[hardy cedar]

i know, tnx

[hardy birch]

Im still trying to get your point here

Besides lobsters and tits

[spice tartan]

i’ll take tits and lobsters even if i didnt get it

[unkempt storm]

muted

this is what happens

[spice tartan]

Noo drew

Dont snap my neck just yet daddy

[unkempt storm]

As acting community manager I hereby sentence you to 14 weeks isolation without internet access.

[hardy birch]

[spice tartan]

🏋️

[hardy cedar]

ok, bought. cya on the battlefield

[feral falcon]

can i be on the server even if i don't own the game yet

or is there any sense of being here

[spice tartan]

Ye you can. Some people ask questions before they buy

[feral falcon]

okay

[wispy whale]

Quick question

as someone who picked this up recently and has been going Recon with a mate of mine

Are Garrisons on my priotiy lists

i have acess to them, i feel placing them in key points would help the team, though i have no clue how to get supplies out to them

[spice tartan]

Recon usually gets supplies via supply drops from the commander as theyre too far from other sources. Priority is decided by the match, command, and your own feeling as a player. You might instead prioritize enemy garrisons or artillery instead, for example.

[wispy whale]

ahh thought as much, was just curious how theyd get them out to me but supply drops make sense

[spice tartan]

You could suggest to commander to help build a red garry if he drops supplies. Then you will see whst he thinks of it

[wispy whale]

Recon works for me and my friend, he often goes sniper. We wrecked total havoc in one match fucking up their artillery and ninja destroying garrisons

fun match, felt like id made a difference for sure

[spice tartan]

: )

[hardy birch]

How can a machine gunner spot and kill me from about 300-350m?

[tall orchid]

muzzle flash, movement, playing in 4K, squad ping, infantry mark

[hardy birch]

I cant even see someone without blurr at about 150m

[spice tartan]

Graphics settings

They have changed them to not be blurry

[hardy birch]

I have alot on epic too exept shadows

wait lemme show

[tall orchid]

their gfx settings

not yours

😶‍🌫️

[tall orchid]

try clarity TAA, turn off SSAO

a higher resolution helps too

[spice tartan]

Yep

[tall orchid]

also, and your mileage may vary

if you have an nvidia card, bump digital vibrance to 65 or so

[hardy birch]

Ill definately give it a try rn

[spice tartan]

Can add additional sharpening in nvidia control panel to make people “pop” harder when they move

[tall orchid]

messing with sharpening ruins everything for me

i can’t find a setting outside default that I like

[spice tartan]

I managed to get more out than just with game settings

[hardy birch]

bruh it was definately the clarity TAA, thanks alot

[tall orchid]

bet

[hardy birch]

Do you guys have more kills then deaths at the end of a match?

[tall orchid]

depends on what I’m doing

generally yes

[hardy birch]

damn then I must be terrible at this

Im just a rifleman since the game suggested new players to be so (and since I dont have a mic)

[tall orchid]

lol, how long have you been playing?

[hardy birch]

a day now

[tall orchid]

oh, shit dude

[hardy birch]

2 days

1 day

idk

[tall orchid]

everyone is terrible at first

[hardy birch]

furthest I got was 17 kills

[hardy birch]

I think I just need to learn strategy a bit more

[tall orchid]

yup. how to move, when to move, where to move

a big chunk of it is map knowledge too

[hardy birch]

exactly, I hope Ill get a hang of that soon

because it has been the cause of my death many, many times

[spice tartan]

You’ll improve massively in time at first, no matter what you do. Just keep playing

[hardy birch]

I hope so, right now I just move my pinky and get shot

[delicate juniper]

yes, medic included

[spice tartan]

You are playing against people who have honed their skills in this specific game already. Youre gonna have to power through the rough learning curve.

[delicate juniper]

first get to know the maps, strategy will come hand in hand afterwards

[hardy birch]

Well I’m willing to do so because I love this anyway and would actually love to just master the Rifleman role

which will always be available and is the common soldier

that’d also get me the basics

[eager jetty]

Rifleman is such a fun roll once you have a squad that is solid. The weapon load out choices are pretty lit.

[delicate juniper]

German AT guy can appreciate LVL 6 Rifleman, because of the ordnance (rockets/explosives) ammo box

...if he won't use the redeploy function to rearm xD

[eager jetty]

I m just in love with the Gwehr (?) 43.

[hardy birch]

can infantry grenades do anything against tanks?

[spice tartan]

Remember to place your ammo box

[modern rampart]

no.

[delicate juniper]

But I honestly would like if the explosive ammo box was available with Kar98 too. There is no reason to restrict it if used with the most underpowered weapon in the game.

[eager jetty]

Historically not really.

[eager jetty]

Agreed

[modern rampart]

what can damage tanks: Other tanks, AT cannons, AT launchers, AT mines, satchel charges, artillery

side note: MGs can damage and destroy trucks, you need to shoot the engine compartment though

[delicate juniper]

other AT weapons are planned though

[eager jetty]

And German underpowered engines.

[delicate juniper]

I was killed in a truck by MG which was behind my back, firing at me, destroyed me too. I was a bit surprised because there was no way of hitting the engine from behind.

I guess could use some testing, but I believed what you are saying too until I got this doubting moment.

maybe a bug or there was 2nd MG somewhere up front... can't really say, but the shots were coming from direct behind

[spice tartan]

I dont think you need to shoot engine with mg? Ive shot at trucks pretty loosely and blown them up

[delicate juniper]

there probably goes the answer then

but simply what you need to remember is the simple fact that the MGs can destroy trucks too

and despite upper level kit of US MG class can have BAR, it can't destroy the trucks - just the browning

[fringe berry]

Can you change the fire mode on the BAR? Cause if i recall it did have a fire mode for rapid fire n slow fire

[delicate juniper]

no, at least not yet

[fringe berry]

Ah darn that would be very useful for targets far away thx tho

[delicate juniper]

currently we have just the slow fire mode, it is very good for shooting 1 round at a time with a click, for targets far away

[modern rampart]

could be yeah

probably

[spice tartan]

Potentially maybe

[modern rampart]

[hardy cedar]

so clarity or community taa, which is better?

[hardy birch]

Clarity for more view, community for a better looking gameplay

lol yo a whole squad just spawned and the whole OP god mown down by an enemy MG

[spice tartan]

Clarity if u wanna see enemies, community if u wanna die cinematically

[hardy birch]

killed in action 4 times within 1.5min

make that 5

[hardy cedar]

i like you already

[violet rune]

why dont we see more AT guns in the game?

[pseudo oasis]

Does manual bolting increase the cycling rate?

[pseudo oasis]

Like new variants or people using them?

[violet rune]

people using them

[pseudo oasis]

I think it's because it requires a lot more coordination to get them set up. You need a support player to lay down supplies whereas you just need yourself to use the rocket launchers or AT rifle

[hardy birch]

Okay so I just kept track of my K/D for the past few matches and it seems like I always have 2x more deaths then kills. So 11 kills and 22 deaths and so on

Idk if thats bad but at least it's something yk

[pseudo oasis]

And AT guns are the last kit that you unlock for AT

So new players can't even access them without some time and therefore familiarity and comfort, with the other AT loadouts

[spice tartan]

: D see u in the game arnie

[spice tartan]

They arent really that worthwhile

Weak compared to AT rockets/satchels or most importantly, compared to tank spam

A well supplied team can just yeet tanks at enemy and the AT guns barely do anything or stay relevant in their static position anyway

And theyre one shot from a tank as well : D just too underpowered. Compared to tanks

[hardy birch]

What TAA do u guys play on?

[spice tartan]

Clarity TAA on Epic quality and additional AA and sharpness via nvidia control panel

[normal pike]

I use community AA, because I prefer the look

[dawn widget]

They all look the same to me

[median ivy]

As a Rocket Main, AT guns are awesome to set up at an ambush area and let your friendlies take over.

Enemy tanks always head towards where you set them up so it’s an easy flank

Slap down an AT and those blueberries have the time of their lives

[crimson badger]

I suggest going into a near empty server with at least 5 players so you can spawn, take a screenshot with one type of AA setting then another screenshot with different AA. You can upload the two pictures on a slide comparison tool like JuxtaposeJS

[dawn widget]

are you playing rifleman

[crimson badger]

When you open up the scoreboard and see the four columns, any points in those columns give class XP

[dawn widget]

Tank crews Eu servers

[tacit thistle]

As a new player too I know exactly what you’re talking about. It’s not obvious at all what level a certain class is until you level it up. When you are choosing your class you will see a thin yellow bar above the class name, this is the class XP bar. When this bar reaches the end of the class name, the class levels up. Also, to the right of the class name shows what level that class is. I imagine for all of your classes will just show level 1. This is indicated by the army insignia that kinda looks like ‘I’. Hope that helps.

[hardy birch]

Took me a while to realise that 'promoted' didn't mean my rifleman was promoted

[gloomy grove]

It's not an army insignia, it's Roman numerals. It literally tells you next to the role what level number you're at

It tells you at the end of the game how much XP each role gets

[rich ridge]

Hello,
Does anyone know why symbols have been erased from uniforms?
Does anyone know how to turn them on?
I am asking because I know they were before

[thin linden]

There still there for me

[rich ridge]

So how do you turn them on in the options?

[thin linden]

And I couldn't find any settings for it

[zinc perch]

I don't have them too

I think it's very sad because the historical side of the game is being censored and I think that through such changes the game turns into a regular shooter without any historical content.

[rich ridge]

I mean the hakenkreuz symbol

[thin linden]

The one in the screenshot?

For tank commander and crewman?

[rich ridge]

yes

[robust lagoon]

Hu

[thin linden]

Yep I still have it

[robust lagoon]

Hi

[thin linden]

hi

How you going?

[robust lagoon]

good hbu

[thin linden]

Yeah pretty good

[thin linden]

It should still be on the visor cap (Correct me if I'm wrong)

[rich ridge]

Before that, there was a German eagle, and below it was a hakenkreuz

Now I can see that there is none

Instead of hakenkreuz there is a circle

[thin linden]

Its also on the rolled sleeves and heer summer uniform

Wierd

Anyway you guys have a good day

[dawn widget]

ss unit uniforms where?

[thin linden]

What ss you looking for?

[dawn widget]

just talking about player customization

[thin linden]

Just check the barracks

[thin linden]

Yeah very weird

Maybe ask a mod?

[zinc perch]

I think i have to

[thin linden]

Good luck

[zinc perch]

thx

[dawn widget]

winter dlc got taken down when

[thin linden]

taken down?

[dawn widget]

you cant get the cosmetics

they requested it to be taken down

[thin linden]

That was ages ago

only appeared for a limited time

[thin linden]

Or do you mean the most recent one?

[dawn widget]

winter dlc

[thin linden]

Around 2 years ago

I think

[thin linden]

Oh yeah I see it now I thought you meant the eagle itself

[zinc perch]

this is weird

[thin linden]

You got any ideas on why?

[zinc perch]

it is possible they censored this symbol because a twitch collaboration is coming

[thin linden]

Thats a little scummy but as long as they add it back

[rich ridge]

I hope these are just problems caused by streamer mode

[thin linden]

Me to

@zinc perch @rich ridge you heard the british is going to be a dlc?

[rich ridge]

And that the next update will fix it

free dlc i think

[zinc perch]

Yeah, i hope for new maps placed in africa, maybe El Alamein.

[thin linden]

Nope they said paid

[thin linden]

Yeah but its going to be paid

[zinc perch]

it's sad, but I will definitely buy it anyway.

[thin linden]

You angry with the devs (for the dlc) or do you think they need it?

[rich ridge]

If there is Africa, I will buy it

[thin linden]

Yeah mate

[zinc perch]

I guess if they need money to develop the game its okay

[thin linden]

Yeah but some people are saying the the console release would bring them enough money

@zinc perch @rich ridge You guys up for a game?

[rich ridge]

Yep

[thin linden]

Cool

[hardy cedar]

ngl, this game ia pretty epic

[thin linden]

True

[thin linden]

I can't message you you got a friend only thing on

[hardy cedar]

i only wish for the tank engines to be much louder

seems likenthey run around on silent mode lol

[thin linden]

I only wish that if I get shot someone comes to my house and shoots me

[hardy cedar]

true

[thin linden]

Pure realism

[thin linden]

I boot up the game and a MP come to my house

[hardy cedar]

also open windows during winter for that ambient temperature when playing bulge

[zinc perch]

i dont going to play today but maybe once

[thin linden]

Cool

[thin linden]

@rich ridge you still up for a game?

[rich ridge]

I'm sorry but I don't play today

[thin linden]

ok

[cinder bobcat]

is the winter free dlc accessible still or no?

[thin linden]

No don't think so

[hardy birch]

There are so many servers with German only or French only

even when I try joining one I get instant kicked by admins

but those are the only ones I’m able to join which aren’t full or have full queues

besides that, how can I list a server as favourite?

[thin linden]

You press the star next to the server name

[hardy birch]

Thanks man. Any suggestions on servers I can join? Playing from EU btw

[thin linden]

Maybe usa or austrlia?

[hardy birch]

I keep getting kicked either by auto-bots, admins, ping, etc

[hardy birch]

would those allow me to join?

[thin linden]

Aussie servers are usally pretty chill and I joined a low ping usa server with 300 ping and they let me play

[thin linden]

You up for a game?

[hardy birch]

300 ping isnt that good right?

[thin linden]

god no

[hardy birch]

Of course Ill be there in 5 mins

I dont have a mic tho

[thin linden]

Only real problem I had was serve dsync issues on 300 ping

[thin linden]

You might need that

for this game

[hardy birch]

I asked that and I was told as long as I don't play an essential role, it'll do

I just follow orders and use text chat alot

[thin linden]

true enough

[hardy birch]

But I'm looking for a mic on the internet atm bc I don't like wearing headphones

[hardy cedar]

rifleman, mark targets, shoot targets, put don ammo. Mic is a plus tho

[hardy birch]

don ammo?

whats that

[hardy cedar]

down*

[hardy birch]

Ohh I see

and about the mic, I’m searching one on the internet

I dont like wearing headphones so Ill have to get a seperate one

[cinder bobcat]

is it me with my small monitor or is foy a horrible map to fight on in the forests

[hardy birch]

I honestly hate Kursk

if you’re not a sniper, it’s a matter of waiting till you get shot by someone with low view distance

[hardy cedar]

is there any considerable bullet drop? i was shooting a 30cal at about 500m, and realised that the bullets are hitting pretty much where im aiming

[hardy birch]

It depends on the weapon

Thats all I know

But there is ballistic stuff with bullet drop

Sometimes I have to aim my rifle alot above the enemy to get a lucky headshot

I hope theres a guide on this tbh

Finally got myself a mic

Do I hold the voice chat buttons or are they activated by toggle?

Damn

For me those kills and deaths would be the other way around

[hardy cedar]

just dont rush and your life expectancy highrockets

[hardy birch]

Fair enough lol

[mental sundial]

If you hadn’t picked one up I was gonna say a yeti blue with a desk mount is a good choice

Not just HLL but other things too (Zoom, etc.)

[gloomy grove]

Hold

[zinc perch]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/881169270963326996/891278850170970132/unknown.png

without playing tank

[sharp niche]

@zinc perch what class?

[zinc perch]

Automatic rifleman

[sharp niche]

@dawn widget I popped off too!

[prime quartz]

61 and 18 with the M1 Carbine

[hardy birch]

How

Just how

I havent passed 17 kills yet

And then I would have like 24 deaths

[unkempt storm]

Patience young padawans

All will become clear

[hardy cedar]

stop obsessing about kills

because if you play this game for kills, its like fucking for virginity

[hardy birch]

Since everyone is comparing their stats, I am too

How long do u play the game then @hardy cedar

[prime quartz]

I play aggressively

sorta like Battlefield

map awareness, run on the flanks, flick shot for OHK

[hardy birch]

I can relate to that sadly, I need a squad to tell me what to do to just not die

When theyre like "defend this" and the first thing that would come up in my mind is running to the enemy

[hardy birch]

Im from Bf1 btw

[prime quartz]

Here is a game where I ran around using the .30 cal like a giant SMG

50 and 21

[prime quartz]

its mostly map awareness, abusing OHK, with a dose of pay-2-win

[hardy birch]

What's ohk?

[prime quartz]

one hit kill

[hardy birch]

Ohh

[prime quartz]

nearly all guns are OHK and those that aren't you can headshot with easily

so you can flick shot your way out of fights you shouldn't win

[hardy birch]

Ur not talking abf bf1 are u

[prime quartz]

no

HLL

[hardy birch]

Flick shotting in HLL

[prime quartz]

yes

since you just need 1 round on target

and shooting is easy (no sway, low recoil, and so on)

so you can see a guy flick your mose onto him and tag him once for the kill

you don't even need to aim for the head or anything

[hardy birch]

How long do u play the game already

[prime quartz]

483

[hardy birch]

Days

Or hours

[prime quartz]

hours

[hardy birch]

Well

I have the game like

3 or 4 days now

[prime quartz]

one of the best things you can do is not follow your team

[hardy birch]

Why not

I usually end up dying when I split up

Being together is a strength to me

[native furnace]

depends on what ur squad doing lmao

whole games about team play

[hardy birch]

In silent squads, yeah. I just go my own way

But the game.is like 1000x less fun that way imo

[prime quartz]

its about kills and destroying spawns

kills let you destroy spawns

no spawns means you win

[hardy birch]

So you just wanna rush a spawn alone and expect to not get shot

[native furnace]

yeah, if ur going in with a kill oriented mindset ur gon end up with a meatgrinder of a game in mid cap

[hardy cedar]

some people are sweatlords, other play for squad teamwork and immersion and whatnot

[hardy birch]

Even if I try being a sweatlord, I peek my head once and get my brains blown out

[hardy cedar]

and i have 4,7 hrs on the record

[hardy birch]

Especially on KuRsK

[hardy cedar]

kursk is hell, ngl, but thats how it was

[hardy birch]

Its messed up af man. I think snipers rule it there

[spare jasper]

test test

[hardy cedar]

working

[hardy birch]

But thats just my unexperienced opinion

I cant get kills on Kursk when not in small towns

I prefer saint marie or smth

[hardy cedar]

grab an MG, you will get something lol

[hardy birch]

True, but even rifles kill me when I lay down in the high grass because they got LoW vIeW dIsTaNcE

[prime quartz]

no, if you want good kill/death with maximum number of kills you avoid meat grinder and flank hard

meat grinder is where bad players go

[hardy cedar]

grass doesnt render at long distance

[prime quartz]

#new-recruit-barracks message

[hardy cedar]

but hey, it goes both ways

[prime quartz]

does ntot happen by being dumb

[hardy cedar]

but the real challenge is going for 0 deaths

[native furnace]

if I want a good k/d I play a different game.
But yeah u right, smart players flank, usually gets good k/d in the process

[hardy cedar]

60:20 is 3 kills per life

sadge numbers

[hardy birch]

This game doesnt even keep a track of your overall stats right?

[hardy cedar]

why would it

[hardy birch]

Im so glad it doesnt

It would attract a more.. fanatic audience

This keep the fun in it for me

[hardy birch]

I try flanking but never make it halfway through my tactic without running into a nazi with an mg

[hardy cedar]

its a match per match basis otherwise people would do even more random things toimprove stats

[uncut jasper]

Best strat for racking up oodles of kills, consistently, is to stick with your squad and defend a point instead of just getting one to three kills a life by running at the objective the whole match.

[hardy cedar]

what imran's son said

[uncut jasper]

Flanking's effectiveness is neutered since you can be one-tapped at most conceivable engagement distances in this game, unfortunately

[hardy cedar]

they should implement some weapon sway system

and take fatigue into account

[uncut jasper]

Weapon sway and more developed hitboxes with varying damage values. Make you work for the kill a little bit instead of just point, click, and ez kills

[hardy birch]

I was thinking about a specific sound for running, walking and crawling through bushes or wheats

I noticed it being completely silent walking through that

[hardy cedar]

sound is a bit weird sometimes yeah

[hardy birch]

If they make running out of stamina a thing I would be very... upset

[hardy cedar]

nono running out of stamina is not an issue for a soldier

[hardy birch]

What a pain to miss the transport trucks and being forced to go by foot💀

[hardy cedar]

but sure as hell he would not shoot straight after doing it

[uncut jasper]

I promise that sitting on the objective behind your team and just picking off would-be flankers or the entire enemy team if a push fails feels a lot more rewarding than dying 15+ times to cap one objective - unless your team is steamrolling hard

And you get tons of XP for it, too

[hardy cedar]

but people want actionnnnn

[uncut jasper]

Hell, play arty for a free 100 killstreak and eventual kick for too many TKs LMAO

[hardy birch]

How many hours u got on the game?

U sound pretty experienced

[hardy birch]

I still need to finish watching that arty guide

[uncut jasper]

Around 200 so far. Not the thousands that a lot of other guys in here have, but I mainly play FPS games to begin with

[next oasis]

mp40

[uncut jasper]

Arty is pretty easy, just be SL, shoot like 50-100m in front of your team, and RNG shell deviation will get you so many kills. The conversion from mils to meters is what trips people up for some reason

[hardy birch]

Ah I see. I started with FPS games but usually just play things like For Honor and War Thunder. At some point I got tired of FPS

[hardy birch]

All those numbers on the left tho

[hardy birch]

On 🔥

[uncut jasper]

Chum's one of the god-tier players you'll see in here, homie knows his stuff. He posts some nutty clips in our other chat

[hardy birch]

Will it level up the role you have equipped at that moment?

[uncut jasper]

Absolutely

[hardy birch]

Well, guess Imma finish watching that guide asap and level up rifleman

[uncut jasper]

When trucks came out, people could rack up like 30k XP a game by just driving supply trucks all over the map and dropping supplies everywhere. Not sure if they addressed that or what, because I rarely see anyone use supply logis that much anymore

Probs the meta shift

[hardy birch]

I still don't really know what supplies do

[uncut jasper]

Supplies are used for garrisons and defensive emplacements (barbed wire, bunkers, etc.)

You drop them somewhere and can build those emplacements within a certain area of the supplies

[hardy birch]

Ohhh

So thats what the support class is for?

[uncut jasper]

Pretty much. Commander can drop supplies, as can supply trucks, and support class can drop some as well.

Commander can drop 50, I think supply truck crates are 50-100 (someone fact check me that pls), and support can drop like 25 at a time

For example, garrisons require 50 supplies to be built

And if you have multiple supports on site or the objective, you technically wouldn't need the commander or a logi to get enough supplies for a garry, although... that doesn't really happen much LMAO

[hardy birch]

So

If you build garrisons, the supplies disappear?

And you would have to drop them all at one spot or smth?

Sorry but Im still a little confused abt it

[uncut jasper]

If you have 50 supplies on a point and build a garry with it, those supplies will be used up and disappear. If it's 100 supplies, say, then it'll go down to 50 for whatever else you may want to use. And it doesn't have to necessarily be in one spot as supplies have a radius that they can be used within

Supplies can be dropped and used on and off of objective sites, like if your team is trying to build a flanking or backup garrison

Commanders will usually preemptively drop supplies in a location anyway, so you don't really need that much coordination these days

[hardy birch]

Thanks alot

Glad I know how it works now

[uncut jasper]

You'll get a feel for it pretty quickly tbh; I've never watched any guides or consulted wikis/docs for the main stuff as the in-game community will usually tell you if you ask

Especially if you're a newbie squad lead, you'll have command chat

People want to win, there's no reason to be a dick to someone asking questions and make it counterproductive more than the game already makes it LOL

[hardy birch]

Very true lol

It'd be cool for me to be able to be a good officer one day

But I would wanna learn tactics and master the basics first

[loud pilot]

Hello guys. Sorry to interrupt. I am new to the game. Just downloaded the PS5 Beta. I am reading up on how the game works. Just read the conversation you guys are having.

There is a lot going on in this game. Nothing like COD. But I like it.

[hardy birch]

I got a vid for ya thay was also suggested to me, maybe interesting?

Am I.allowed to send the link here?

[uncut jasper]

The beginner's guide? Absolutely

[hardy birch]

Go to this link it will help you to understand the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaY27yiOPPA

[loud pilot]

Oh, awesome. Thanks guys!

[hardy birch]

No probs, have fun

Today I just installed my headphones and holy damn artillery shells just got 1000x scarier with surround sound

[loud pilot]

I love the experience on PS5 with the 3D audio and DualSense optimization. The active triggers and haptic feed back feel amazing.

How do manpower nodes work exactly? Like are they preset locations on the maps or do they get placed? What do they look like? How do I find them? Sorry. Totally clueless.

[hardy cedar]

dont worry about nodes

thats all commanders job

and your squadleaders job subsequently

but sufficed to say, manpower enables certain gamey boosts in terms of soldiers

faster resource generation, capture speed etc

its a bit of an RTS from the commander role, kinda like playing company of heroes, but the heroes is us fools 😄

[loud pilot]

The PS5 Beta has a cross platform on or off option. Does this mean the PS5 Beta players are playing with the older PC community?

LoL

[uncut jasper]

Nah

It’ll be Xbox/PS5 crossplay, only

Xbox doesn’t have a beta right now

[loud pilot]

Oh. Ok. I don't know why the Beta would even have that option since there is no Xbox Beta.

[hardy cedar]

because... its beta 😄

[uncut jasper]

Probably a placeholder. I believe they plan including Xbox, but currently don’t have the manpower to focus on two different console versions

[hardy cedar]

manpower

[loud pilot]

Haha

[uncut jasper]

[hardy cedar]

on an unrelated note

i really need to find some decent folks to play with

half of the game mechanics are useless if you play with randoms

[loud pilot]

Yes!

[hardy cedar]

why bother with medics when people die at stupid locations, not behind cover, and then the medic is stupid and goes into the open to save him

and gets himself killed ofc

[spice tartan]

the answer is - you dont

[hardy cedar]

go away troll!

[spice tartan]

im not trolling

[loud pilot]

I feel like everyone on PS5 sucks and is not playing the game correctly. There is very little communication and teamwork going on for a game that is supposedly focused on such things.

[hardy cedar]

no but see, the medic is useful, but the stars kinda have to align

[spice tartan]

its usually not worth reviving the people and also the medics are not worth much

so basically its useless

[spice tartan]

mehh only in clanwars when everybody is worth something

[hardy cedar]

no it actually is useless since the SL can just shit out his OP anywhere anytime

[spice tartan]

ye

[thin linden]

Their all coming from cod

[spice tartan]

no its not cod

its just people not talking

[hardy cedar]

not talking is one thing,

not listening is another

[spice tartan]

as well

incompetence exists outside of cod

cod isnt to blame for all this

[loud pilot]

I recommended this game to a friend. He played it for a few minutes and the went right back to COD. Haha. I think there is a new COD out.

[hardy cedar]

different tastes, who can blame them

its not his fault he was born this way 😄

[spice tartan]

cod can teach you things as well

lessons that many in HLL need

[hardy cedar]

is there any servers with any custom settings, or is everything uniform to be in check with the ranking system?

[spice tartan]

everything is homogenous

[earnest swan]

Cod is better

[hardy cedar]

fax

[loud pilot]

Nooo!!!

LOL

I love this game so much because it's NOT COD. Too many years of COD. I am burnt out. No joke like 17 years of COD and Medal of Honor before that. It's refreshing to see something new and different.

[sage palm]

if anyone is new to the game i started a HLL Server i am accepting all players

[warm jacinth]

Whats the point of comparing HLL and COD if they’re two fundamentally different things

[analog gust]

@warm jacinth couldn't said better my self hahhaha

[uncut jasper]

CoD players are usually on a different level, coordination-wise, than most HLL players at this point

That being said, I play CoD for CoD's specific intended experience, and play HLL to get really god damned mad

[delicate magnet]

M1 been running this game for me

Playing as Germans feels so unfair because of how bad the kar is in comparison

[uncut jasper]

G43 and Garand > all

Don't let Chum show you his MP40 gameplay tho

[weak rampart]

when the G43 upper blows up in your face part 548274527852475984

[gray mica]

Medic is usefull if you stick with your squad and exclusively stick with them, you sit in the back, let them push up, kill some dudes, and if anyone dies you revive them after everyone else has pushed up infront of you.

[spice tartan]

COD and HLL are comparable in many ways, just that people are very eager to distance HLL from COD

For understandable reasons also, of course

[hardy birch]

Goodmornin'

Im unable to compare cod or battlefield to HLL tbh

[spice tartan]

Both are games where u have to click on the enemy to make him disappear, there are ASPECTS that are comparable

[hardy birch]

In these 4 days I've learned so many things and I assume this game comes closer to reality then any other ww2 game has so far. It's a way more intense experience with artillery shells raining down around you and hoping you don't get hit. Communicating with your squad to surprise the enemies in various ways. Almost anytime I walk somewhere, I got the feeling that Im being watched. If I'm not leaning from behind a wall or something else that will catch the bullets meant for me, it's just waiting until the enemy pulls the trigger when you crouch-run along the edge of that open field with that other teammate. As soon as he gets shot, I lay down in the grass hoping the enemy doesn't know Im there or at least thinks I'm dead too. In battlefield you might jump and run and get some crazy sniper headshots. Maybe you get hit a few times but that's okay since healing back from all those shots is a thing. In HLL, you can't be that type of hero. But keep in mind, this is my noob 4 day experience of the game.

So if anyone wishes to correct me on this feel free to do so

And I think I've only described a little piece of the whole game there

[hardy birch]

In Bf1 (with most weapons), if you don't click on the head he shall survive

[spice tartan]

No corrections here mate. But Post Scriptum does some aspects better, I believe, so I wouldnt say MOST realistic.

[hardy birch]

Im curious about those because I never really even tried to compare ps to hll

What aspects does post scriptum do better?

[serene tree]

hello, where can I found a raodmap about the game and what the dev reserve for the futur

[spice tartan]

there isnt an abundance of firepower (mostly rifles), tank spam is less of a thing, resources matter, sound of gunfights is wayyyy better, tanks are terrifying, there is working penetration, bla bla

[spice tartan]

https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/34012997/01488ae1df4bc34774e897f977ec3b07f9d9e4f5.png

[hardy birch]

A FLAKPANZER??

Infantry slayer

Oo a deployable flak cannon

I like all this

Fighting at night would be sick

Muzzle flash would look so cool

With "Death animations" we mean they'll still be ragdolls right but just animations like in bf1?

[hardy birch]

Looking at this roadmap theyre adding it

[hardy cedar]

i know, i have been playing PR and arma for basically 20 years

but you need people who stick together, not just the medic sticking to you, otherwise you get picked off one by one

and hll makes that much harder due to the lazer guns

[hardy cedar]

i was deciding which one to get, but ultimately went for hll because even tho i am a realism nut, the more realistic a game is the bigger chances there are to be disappointed either from game design or people not having comms or whatever since you set your bar so high

[spice tartan]

I think you made the right choice for now. Post scriptum’s playerbase is very small atm...

[hardy cedar]

so i went for hll since it looked more fun (and i have played squad for the total of maybe 10 hours and it was just meh, so with PS being on that engine... it probably feels somewhat similar)

and playerbase yeah

[hardy birch]

Maybe because its an older game?

Or isnt it

[spice tartan]

yeah dno

i hope they manage to revive it somehow

it is a lot of fun but needs players

[hardy cedar]

im seeing the blind and deaf syndrome from friendlies ffs

enemies literally on the other side of the wall, but our guys dont bat an eye

[crimson badger]

I checked the Post scriptum community on reddit and discord to what is going on the other side of the fence. The major gripe with the game is very slow update releases and that includes optimization, bug fixes, balancing.

[craggy wadi]

PS is moddable dude, there is no comparison ...

[spice tartan]

that's where COD could teach people a thing or two

hell let loose players are pathetic soldiers on average

[spice tartan]

i think those complaints dont matter given that the features are far beyond what hell let loose offers

it runs wayy better than hell let loose

balancing doesnt feel so off but im too noob in PS to comment on that

[hardy birch]

Ik this is a very dumb idea maybe but it would be nice to be able to set up small, offline custom matches with bots for either practice or when people have trouble with joining servers or connection issues

[gloomy grove]

Devs have said no on this

[hardy cedar]

you would have to program in AI, which is a solid PITA

[hardy cedar]

im not a COD player, yet i still have situational awareness

sometimes i wonder how can some people tie their own shoelaces

[abstract zinc]

devs said no to offline rounds. we ain't even getting an offline trainingmap cuz of that afaik 🤷‍♂️ iirc the reason was "data security" of the game , could be wrong though

[hardy birch]

Ah I see

[spice tartan]

Ye sure you can learn this elsewhere of course

[hardy birch]

How can I get roles btw

[gloomy grove]

Such as?

Coloured roles are mostly for Kickstarter only

[hardy birch]

Well I saw the guy that responded to me having the 'Dutch' role

And since Im Dutch too I was wondering

[gloomy grove]

#enlist_language

It gives you a Dutch only channel afaik

[hardy birch]

Idk how Im that blind, thanks alot

[hardy birch]

Whats afaik?

[spice tartan]

“As far as I know”

[hardy birch]

Thanks alot again

[gloomy grove]

No fuss

[hardy birch]

I really wanna get online and play a match rn but Im studying for my German test👨🏼‍🏫

[spice tartan]

Can always get on German servers and practise

[hardy birch]

Exactly😂

I've never made it past 10 mins of playing on a FR, GER or RUS server only without getting kicked

While thats the only option since other matches have a full queue or high ping

Playing from the EU btw

[spice tartan]

That’s because they have bots that ask you questions in the relevant language and if u dont respond u get kicked

[hardy birch]

Ohhh are those the things in top left corner?

[spice tartan]

Ye

[hardy birch]

Answering just one time will do right? I mean I get asked the same question every now and then

[spice tartan]

Fuck knows I stay away from those servers

[hardy birch]

I dont really have an option. Other servers/queues are full and the ones that aren't have about 280-300ping

Especially the AU and USA servers

Which I prefer playing on tbh

[dawn osprey]

hey im new to HLL anyone wanna play when its downloaded

[spice tartan]

The meta is to keep clicking on a server till you get in. Doesnt take as long as you think

Queues are limited to 6 people and theres always slots opening in the queue

Just gotta try and join a couple of times

[gloomy grove]

Or just join a server with like 30+ people. At that stage, it fills up within like 15/20 minutes

[hardy birch]

Oh really? I didnt know it goes that fast

[hardy birch]

Ill defs give that a try today

[gloomy grove]

Yeah, there's like a critical mass where a server is almost guaranteed to pop

That mass is like 20 people, but once you bit 30/40 it's quick. I'd rather be playing than sat in a queue anyway

[hardy birch]

Same, same.

But its so hard to find enemies on small servers tbh

[gloomy grove]

Not really, most places have seeding rules to fight over the mid point to solve that

That way you know pretty much where people will be. Especially around 30 people. It's fairly crowded on mid point then. That's more than there usually is in a 100 person server as no one defends

[turbid dawn]

Afternoon all! New here and excited to finally be getting some hardcore tactical shooters on console. Ready and preloaded for October 5th on Xbox 🙌

[mint glen]

Any body lookin for an extra squad mate? preferable EU but NA is also fine

[copper dragon]

Will console even be crossplatform?

And what's the best way to level up Medic Class rip

It's taking soooo long

[glad pasture]

We want to assure you that the PC player base will remain separate from the console title, but that there will be cross play for both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S so that both platforms benefit from the larger player base.

[cosmic portal]

is there gonna be another discount event soon for Hell Let Loose? i missed the last one

[elfin python]

Anyone recommend good EU servers? I'm tired of whole servers where no one communicates

[gloomy grove]

All community servers are the same. Depends on which way the wind blows

[delicate juniper]

oooh, the latest one ended relatively just few days ago, you may wait quite a bit I guess

maybe even till Christmas

[round lion]

does anyone know @dawn widget? he was dming me about my account being deleted or smth. but then he blocked me and this is our only mutual server

i agree...

[round lion]

i agree

i submitted a ticket to steam to be 100% sure

gave them the conversation

[prime quartz]

Valve won't ever contact you on Discord

[round lion]

it wasn't valve directly

[slim fractal]

Regardless. Nobody legit will DM you in Discord regarding your Steam or Discord account.

[round lion]

thats fair

[narrow frost]

Hey man, if you need a squad mate let me know.

[vapid cliff]

Any one need a squad mate? 27, us east coast

[turbid dawn]

Thanks! I'm GMT timezone and in my 30s so will be looking for an older Squad in UK/EU. Are you around that timezone?

[spice tartan]

you boys looking for squadmates should browse #pc-divisions-recruitment

there are all kinds of outfits you can play with without even signing up to them

just to get a taste

and you'd be looking at full squads of competent people

not just one or two guys to play with

[narrow frost]

I’m on PST and just out of high school so no worries if you’re gonna stick with your age group/timezone

[spice tartan]

this ageism is unnecessary

our clan has people of all ages and we get along fine

[native furnace]

whats ur clan's region?

[spice tartan]

EU

[spice tartan]

im sure you've noticed the AU community servers

in the server browser

could try one of them

BigDGaming is one I think

but there are more now

[narrow frost]

Chill out man. I have my preferences too.

[spice tartan]

i am willing to offer zero chill

[native furnace]

ye BigDGaming is the shit 😁 Honestly its tough for Oceania, noticing a whooole lotta CN servers filling up but only a couple dedicated Aussie ones

usually just look for an American server under 100 ping

so not too fussy

[spice tartan]

playing among aussie/nz accents is fun : D

banter is good

[modern rampart]

I love NZ accents

same as Aussie

[native furnace]

Love me some good toxic Aussies, always fun

[spice tartan]

havent found any toxic aussies yet

just easy going guys and gals

[uncut jasper]

I remember having a Scot, Englishman, and Canadian in my squad when I first got the game

That was a riot

[hardy cedar]

im only getting weird east block sounding guys in my squads most of the time

[native furnace]

anyone else having problems with voip?

cant hear or speak into the mic

[tidal yarrow]

This can happen from time to time. Head to Options > Sound > Disconnect from VOIP and reconnect. Should fix it.

[native furnace]

yeah looks like that might be it, my voip was disconnected, weird

thanks for the heads up

[summer lake]

Looking to make a tight knit squad for Xbox next gen?

[olive cove]

Any squads that are getting ready on xbox for release?

[static hull]

@merry pewter

[severe stirrup]

I pre-ordered for Series X on the day of the announcement 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾

[olive cove]

@severe stirrup nice job if you got a good price on it lol

[trail bridge]

how do i uncap fps

in this game

60 is slow

[prime quartz]

buy better hardware

[dawn widget]

I heard that when the British dlc stuff comes out, it’ll be paid access. Is that true?

[prime quartz]

there will be a charge but it wont split the community

at least that was the claim

[dawn widget]

How would that be possible

[next oasis]

devs may follow suit with how red orchestra/RS did it

just speculation, though

[daring nova]

Hey how can I turn off "Streaming mode" in the game?

[native furnace]

should be in settings

[daring nova]

I can't find it anywhere : (

[native furnace]

at the bottom of one of the lists

should be a toggle

id check video settings or game

[daring nova]

Got it

[bitter helm]

so is it normal that official servers are empty?

i just got the game and im seeing tons of community servers, but it appears they have VIP slots and anything even the servers with 60-70 people are saying the queue is full

additionally, im trying to play with IRL friend and it seems like a bitch to get into the same server

[uncut wolf]

usually only a couple VIP slots. But yes, the official servers are usually empty, cause nobody wants to play in a server with no moderation

Either wait in queues or join a server with ~40 ppl, usually fills up quick.

[bitter helm]

why would u need moderation?

just people spamming slurs and stuff? lol

[uncut wolf]

that, but more like banning people who are tk'ing, griefing, and rarely cheaters

[wise shale]

also it's a game about teamwork, clan servers tend to be filled with ppl playing the game like it's meant to. Not everyone wants to be a squad lead, but clan ppl often step up to the plate and organise

[uncut wolf]

ye, plus clans usually jump start their own server populations so people join them

nobody joins an empty server so you have to seed it up to 20 or so before it kicks off

[bitter helm]

so... okay i know im new but theres spawncamping in this game?

all 3 of our HQ spawn nodes are spawn camped lol

[uncut wolf]

also something you want moderators to stop

most servers ban spawn camping, except for recon vs artillery which is the only counter to artillery currently

[tall orchid]

we don’t ban it 😎

[uncut wolf]

shame

it's dumb

[tall orchid]

shrug

deal

it actually got put to a community vote a few weeks ago

[native furnace]

if theres enough of the enemy team spawncamping all three of your HQ spawns then either you're going 0-5 in a steam roll game and about to lose, or the enemy team is spread too thin and should be a steamroll themselves

[tall orchid]

a little over half didn’t want any restrictions on spawncamping at all

im firmly in the no-restrictions camp. HLL is a sandbox. allocating that much manpower to spawncamping means you’ll likely lose the match

[normal pike]

It's also consistent with most competitive games.

That said, we have some spawn Protection rules on our servers. Artillery is free to attack/defend, but otherwise you should stay out of the last enemy row. We do this to make pub matches a little more friendly

[tall orchid]

my philosophy is i generally won’t restrict anything that creates an opportunity for players to solve a problem

obviously shit like teamkilling, solo locked recon/armor squads, low level/noncommunicative commanders, etc aren’t allowed

but other than that, we’re pretty laissez-faire

[normal pike]

I do love that philosophy

[native furnace]

yeah that seems fair enough

[tall orchid]

plus

[native furnace]

although I would point out that in some cases people make locked armour squads for the sole purpose of playing arty with command comms

[normal pike]

We employ that with tanks on Kursk. "I'm getting shot from windmills"

As soon as you employ any protection to the spawned tanks, you give them an advantage

So we encourage using arty to smoke enemy tanks, or recon etc

[tall orchid]

it’s a total fucking hassle to admin that kinda stuff

[tall orchid]

fuck that, they can make a locked infantry squad

[normal pike]

Yep, we have 10 admins per server haha

[native furnace]

lmao guess that works just as well, tho I dont see too many empty infantry squads in most of my matches, compared to a couple armour squads

[primal juniper]

VS Bf 2042 gogogog

[uncut wolf]

one game isn't even out yet, how can you compare lol

[warm knot]

armor spawncamping is cancer on kursk

[tidal yarrow]

Is there any infantry squad combinations/compositions that are considered really strong?

[noble oracle]

God this game is the fucking worst when nobody communicates

[spice tartan]

Its not league of legends. The squad is strong when the people can shoot.

[hardy cedar]

My money is on MG, otherwise situational. Medic is powerful maybe but only if the squad sticks together, otherwise rifleman is more useful because infinite ammo.

[native furnace]

chuck in an AT, support and a competent SL and you got yourself a team

[hardy cedar]

^ basically

i feel really bad though when i am playing an MG as it is supposed to be used and run through ammo in the course of 5 minutes and the rifleman is off in the distance doing god knows what or there isnt one in the squad in the first place. So i have to go beg to other squads or rush in with a pistol to get shot so i can respawn and be useful again.

in my philosophy, if you are not running out of ammo, you are not using your tool (weapon) to its full potential, kinda like only using 3rd gear in your car on the highway 😄

also also, people dont realise that bullets go a long way (especially in hll, shits lethal and accurate over incredible distance) and they want to advance until they can stick their gun up into the enemys face. But that is a general issue in all games of this type.

[native furnace]

yea thats all well and true, but lotta the time Im scanning doing this dumb shit and still cant accurately see

[hardy cedar]

i have everything on basically low, except distance because my pc cant really handle it - idk how it looks on max settings but if i stay still and observer the distance, i can see moving pixels and that is enough for me to take potshots at them

[native furnace]

Yeah I dont run the best settings either to be fair

[hardy cedar]

arma has a nice system for long distance grass - the texture actually rises up and mostly covers the prone soldier instead of him just looking stupid crawling around in clear sight. And that is in place for all settings, it just starts to morph from grass to raised texture sooner on lower settings. For some objects at long distance, they are supposedly fixing that as seen in the roadmap. Its quite tricky to make a game on such a scale to be without any advantages on different settings.

[tidal yarrow]

It sounds like a good combination would be:

• Officer (obviously)
• Rifleman
• AT
• Medic
• Support
• MG

And I guess swap out whoever for an Engineer as needed.

MG and AT probably the most situational I guess

[spice tartan]

LOL officer

so 2008

[gloomy grove]

How is an AT Guy situational? They've got the one weapon that can do it all.

Got a tank nearby? AT Guy is needed.
Found an enemy spawn? Get the AT Guy to hit from a distance.
Enemies dug into a building? Get the AT Guy to clear out one of the rooms from a distance.
Bored? Ask the AT Guy to pretend to be the mortars we were promised.

[stable meteor]

They haven't heard of the new 2021 no officer meta strat

[spice tartan]

crit is right

whatever your problem is

an AT rocket is the solution

[signal harness]

AT and Support are essential in all squads

[gloomy grove]

Honestly, meta is probably 18 squads featuring only Officers, support and AT

[signal harness]

^^

[stable meteor]

Medic is the most useless compared to anything else tbh

[signal harness]

and 3 engineers initially to build nodes

[gloomy grove]

Rifleman is in with a shout

[spice tartan]

lonely? shoot a rocket
hungry? eat a rocket
horny? bla bla
need leg rain to spice up the day? spew a rawkit into the bush

[tall orchid]

axis rifleman 6 is pretty good

g43, explodey ammo

[gloomy grove]

But it isn't an automatic gun, and that's really why we all play the game

[tall orchid]

lol

[gloomy grove]

But yeah, that's really the one exception to rifleman

Soviet rifleman even gets a gun with no functional ironsight

[tall orchid]

god that gun sucks

[stable meteor]

US rifleman still gets the garand which is so much better compared to the medic's carbine and or pistol

[signal harness]

medic is only useful in really specific circumstances, like offensive mode for extra smokes

[signal harness]

remove M1981 mosin

[gloomy grove]

It's a pure meme gun

[signal harness]

its ahistorical and trash

[tall orchid]

speaking of guns

has anyone done a damage table for the soviet weapons

[stable meteor]

Yes and that's still very niche, in a typical warfare game the medic serves no purpose as it is just easier to respawn and restock on all ammo and nades

[tall orchid]

i feel like the scoped SVT has OHK damage falloff at like 150m

[signal harness]

and busted, whats up with not having a hand guard?

I don't play sniper enough to say, but I feel like the regular SVT is on par with the G43

I would not be surprised if the scoped version is different, like how the scoped K98 has steeper bullet drop than the regular K98

[tall orchid]

hrrrm

regardless, i cleaned UP yesterday on kursk with the scoped SVT

[signal harness]

Its a great gun for sure

[tall orchid]

it's not a great long distance sniper but maaaan it fucks at midrange

but tbh i think i like the scoped mosin more

the bolting action is just :chefskiss:

even tho it's got that stupid bolting bug they introduced with patch 16

[stable meteor]

It's a feature

[signal harness]

yeah they really need to make manual bolting faster

[gloomy grove]

Yeah, it drops around that. I'm honestly not a massive fan of it really. I'm not sure the semi auto nature of it is too useful a lot of the time. The only differentiator is the scope magnification being low. It's less than the Springfield right? Makes using it sub 100m super easy, but it's way worse than the Springfield past 150m, and only slightly better underneath that number. It seems great because it goes up against the Scoped Kar, which is just the weirdest gun in the game

[hardy cedar]

pls do explain, i wasnt here prior to the patch

[tall orchid]

sometimes you don’t trigger the boltcycle when you toggle out of ADS after firing

[spice tartan]

sometimes?

[hardy cedar]

even on autobolting?

[tall orchid]

sometimes

[spice tartan]

never happens for me on either mode lol

[tall orchid]

oof

[hardy cedar]

raibe hax confirmed

[spice tartan]

hax to make the game worse?

that's a new one

[hardy cedar]

any advantages with manual bolt? like gun not automatically going out of ADS when firing a shot?

[spice tartan]

at this point im lucky to have it bolt after a left click spamfest

[tall orchid]

preference. I like to control the action

[hardy cedar]

why not just make it so that the guy bolts when you release MB1... like every game does it 😄

devs pls

[spice tartan]

nah next change theyre gonna have the kar98 user have glue in their hands

so that every animation involves struggling against the glue and nearly ripping your own skin off

while giving the stg a laser attachment

[hardy cedar]

or just oneshot weapon

one in the chamber gamemode confirmed

[tidal yarrow]

Ok so a potential "optimal" squad could look like (not counting building nodes at the start obv):

• Officer
• Support
• AT
• MG
• Rifleman
• Medic

Occasionally going Engie for nodes and fortification

Assault when you need more smokes or clearing houses I guess

And Auto rifleman for the same, minus smokes

[hardy cedar]

swap medic for assault or AR and it should be powerful

[stable meteor]

I'd still remove medic

[hardy cedar]

sadly the meta

[stable meteor]

yep,

[hardy cedar]

but this is more like a stationary or allround squad - if there was cooperation between fire and assault squad, it would be officer, assault, autorifle, medic, rifleman and maybe AT or explosives rifleman.

for the assaulting team as there is no need for the slow MG, and the other squad is utilising that anyway

[prime quartz]

optimal squad is not 6 guys

since weapon limit is based on squads

[hardy cedar]

another weird decision yeah, create 4 squads to magically get 4 bazookas suddenly

[prime quartz]

German

• Squad Leader
• Auto Rifle
• Anti-tank
• MG
• support OR engineer

5 players per squad which means you could have 8 of these squads (40 players) and another 10 players for recon/TL/tanks

so 8x panzerschrecks, 8x STG-44, etc...

+2 of each weapon type over a full squad

[tidal yarrow]

So create a locked squad and only allow 5 eh?

[prime quartz]

yea, you could also drop it down to 4 if you wanted

MG is questionable -- although it seems more powerful on console

[hardy cedar]

the way to win is to reduce the game to absolute meta :D pelican spittin faxx

[prime quartz]

balance between PC and console is different

U.S. Squad is similar but you don't need the MG class

and the thing is not every squad needs a support

or engineer

[hasty tinsel]

MP40 power squad

[prime quartz]

so if you have 8x squads you would have

-4 support

• 4 engineer

on a team

which should be sufficient to cover any needs

medics are trash and you don't need them. If you really want you could have maybe 2?

and have them sit on the defense point

medics, again, are proaably better on console

[spice tartan]

life on console seems pretty neat

[prime quartz]

only downsides are

• that you have to have a console
• that you have to use a controller to aim

but the whole reason balance is differnt on consoles is because everyone has to use a controller to aim and its trash

like actual trash as an input device

[spice tartan]

and you need permission from your mother

[tidal yarrow]

So all-around squad seems covered. How about an optimal defensive squad?

[spice tartan]

defense? huh?

[tidal yarrow]

I know it's up for debate obv I just am curious what people think

Hah I know right

[prime quartz]

optimal squad is same for both

defence is just attacking

[stable meteor]

The most optimal squad for anything is just the most AR's possible

[prime quartz]

defending isn't sitting on the defense point. Its finding enemy spawns and fucking them so its really attacking but within a limtied area

[tidal yarrow]

Right. Yeah I've been watching some of mono's videos and it definitely seems like it's better to defend around the point rather than on it, and have squads take excursions to suspected enemy garrisons and OPs as needed

[gloomy grove]

Hi, I'm a HLL player. What is defence?

[stable meteor]

I have no clue

[spiral compass]

Defense is for pussies

[dull maple]

Has there ever been an eta on pacific theatre content?

[gloomy grove]

No

[warm knot]

no

[gloomy grove]

Is there an echo?

[dull maple]

understandable have a nice day

[lethal nimbus]

Does anyone have details on the console version? Is it going to be a good port?

For Xbox.

[spring sphinx]

Just seen roadmap, looks very interesting by British maps do they mean things like Dunkirk?

I’d assume so

Also what does bridge map mean?

Does it mean map with a bridge or?

😂

[severe pebble]

😂

LMAO

[modern rampart]

No, they most likely mean maps set in North Africa or during Operation Market Garden.

[severe pebble]

what really??

[modern rampart]

cringe.

[spring sphinx]

Oh nice, look forward to a Africa map

[severe pebble]

i mean..

[spring sphinx]

Although Dunkirk would’ve been cooler

[severe pebble]

why put again market garden..

there is already post scriptum

[spring sphinx]

Also in a bright yellow Sandy environment I feel it’s gonna be a lot easier to see people

[severe pebble]

why don't do other conflict??

[modern rampart]

Any engagements that aren't Dunkirk, featuring the British Army during WW2. That's the easy answer.

[severe pebble]

like denmark,norway,or even the balkans

[daring bison]

Yo

[compact spruce]

Arnhem would be amazing in this game

so would kasserine

[gleaming cargo]

lots of stuff ingame would be made inaccurate if it were on dunkirk

[spring sphinx]

🥲

[spring sphinx]

I guess they could have offensive only mode

[modern rampart]

A Dunkirk map would make zero sense and would be boring af.

[spring sphinx]

It’ll be cool to see but hopeless after a certain point

[spring sphinx]

Yeah that’s fair

[prime quartz]

There are more interesting locations too

since HLL doesn't change gear based on map/time period maps have to do a lot of work

and Dunkirk is just a beach side town

SInce maps are the only unique thing its best if they are focused on unique terrain features

[late jackal]

Would anyone think that a passive commander is better than none at all? One who answers requests, builds defensive garrisons, and man's the artillery.

Or do most players expect an active leader who's giving orders and moving his chess pieces, so to speak?

[native furnace]

Why would those two 'options' be mutually exclusive?

ideally get a good commander would have the best of both worlds

[uncut jasper]

Ideally, a good commander drops me tendies after I build a garry

[prime quartz]

best commander is totally silent while running around the map placing garrisons

[modern rampart]

"QuoteNova.net"

[warm knot]

hey, it's a real quote

[autumn rose]

Sun Tzu was an automatic rifleman

[native furnace]

+commendation good squad leader with mic

[hardy cedar]

Caen and so forth. UK in normandy. I doubt very much that a north africa campaign is coming.

[compact spruce]

HOO

[verbal sigil]

someone found concept art recently from a HLL artist of a Brit in Africa kit (with a HLL backdrop)

[hardy cedar]

then again, if it is paid, i expect africa :D

[late jackal]

Would pay for Africa setting

[tall orchid]

remagen

thats what i think anyway

[spring sphinx]

Oooo that would be cool

[next oasis]

"im flanking around"

🥱

[wind tundra]

Lol

[tidal yarrow]

Sun Tzu gathered two of every animal onto a boat

And then he beat the crap out of every single one of them

That's why whenever two for more animals are together in one place it's called a zoo

Unless it's a farm

[wicked badge]

whats up everyone

[native furnace]

Rick May

[cerulean coyote]

bro i'm brand new to HLL does anyone have any tips

[warm knot]

use a mic and read the manual

[cerulean coyote]

@warm knot thanks cutie<3

[native furnace]

[cerulean coyote]

@native furnace where are the pineed messages

[native furnace]

man, the pin icon on the top of ur screen

[cerulean coyote]

@native furnace haha my bad bro I'm new to gaming and discord and all that. I appreciate you

[native furnace]

oh yeah algs 😁

[dawn widget]

Question: The Officer's NKVD uniform subtext states that it's a "Twitch Drop Item". How exactly does one get it? Is it given away during developer streams?

its not worth it

just wait for new items in the future

[surreal elm]

if anyone wants to friend me just dm my discord and ill talk tomorrow for me, which is in like 3 hours

and by anyone i mean i need to play this with someone as im so confused on whats happening

[dense valley]

hello

I was wondering does this game have like private servers and such or is it all pubs?

[fading star]

You need to join a clan in order to play in one of their private servers

[dense valley]

Thats why i was askn like for like milsim type stuff and such

i have uet to get the game but i will soon and was curious about all that

[fading star]

Most of the clans are organizing weekly events for clan members / and " regulars "

[patent mantle]

Not a whole lotta milsim in HLL

[dense valley]

Just a general word i came from battlefield lol

wanting an actual ww2 game lol

well thank you for telling me tho ill look into the clan stuff

[patent mantle]

It's not ARMA and I think it's more arcady than Squad

Never played Squad

[dense valley]

Well its on console sooo xD

best experience ill get for a ww2 game compared to bfv

[uncut wolf]

Yeah it's a lot more milsim like than battlefield

A lot of the issues come from community tho, like most people coordinates well which would make the game way more fun

I imagine that'll be especially bad on consoles

[dense valley]

How easy is it to make my own clan and is there events seperate clans can join in on?

[uncut wolf]

Dunno how easy it is, probably depends on how good you are at recruitment. You can use #pc-divisions-recruitment

[dense valley]

Alrighty

[devout wagon]

anyone know if HLL will crossplay between PS and PC?

[jagged oak]

Console crossplay only - PS5 & Xbox : )

[uncut wolf]

Thank god

[late jackal]

Some would say HLL is a more forgiving hardcore experience in comparison.

[little berry]

Weird that they are only doing PS plus and not gamepass as well

Slowly doing things that make me feel by the end of the week they are just going to cancel the Xbox edition

[late jackal]

lol then I want my money back from my pre-order

[little berry]

I mean there was the beta that was promised and promised then they didn’t have the decency to do a proper acknowledgment that they weren’t going to go through with it. Now the PS Plus news because they could do just Xbox gamepass but they aren’t.

So I am fully worried that we are about to be told the game isn’t coming because communication towards the Xbox community has been minimal at best

[lethal nimbus]

Hmmm... This doesn't bode well.

I have on pc but am lazy and want to Xbox. Is it worth getting a ps5 (if I even could) to save $45. Probably..

[little berry]

Same I started on PC with HLL but also have Xbox and most of my friends are on Xbox as well so HLL coming was a god send. Also good luck if you are going to try to get one they are nigh on impossible.

I suspect neither Team17 nor Flix will respond to any questions regarding this topic

[lethal nimbus]

I actually have a second Xbox series x (halo edition) preorder before I could secure a ps5. Albeit Havnt tried as hard.

Team17 does have some things on game pass tho. Maybe? I don't think having it on a subscription service is a good thing honestly. It'll be reviewed poorly by average shooter fans.

If you look at Snowrunner which I love and is a similar mature audience it's got terrible reviews since being added to Xbox Game Pass.

[pallid siren]

Hi guys, any rumours regarding the game on xbox to be joining Game Pass? Many thanks

[lethal nimbus]

@little berry you preordered on Xbox? Should I?
