[tall orchid]

if you ain’t parking tigers on bldgs on kursk you’re fuckin up

[snow anvil]

That position is literally invincible

[dawn widget]

do engineer mines disappear when you die or do they stay on the ground past death?

[merry whale]

They stay forever until you either max out and it replaces or it blows up

[zenith grail]

kinda wondering how well this game runs on ps remote play

[merry whale]

400IQ play is to go as second class AT, planet mines in enemies rear, then redeploy as another class or whatever

Free kills on recon/trucks

Or even bigger brain time is to build nods at hq and then do the mine play or any other class.

Takes about 5 minutes max ish to get your nods down doing it one person method at hq’s

[snow anvil]

So does anyone know why I can penetrate a tiger from the front using a 75mm medium

@mystic stump

[mystic stump]

This was recently?

[snow anvil]

Yea a couple days ago

I was the gunner and my friend recorded this

[mystic stump]

That's weird.. From what I can discern, both of your hits penetrated between the hull and the turret. It's possible that the angle you shot the Tiger at might have something to do with this, as well.

I've certainly seen clips (and experienced them myself) where the damage model isn't exactly consistent. For example, I've recorded a clip of me shooting a Tiger in its tracks with an HE, then following up the shot with one AP shell, and that resulted in a kill. I know that you can deal damage to the hull via the track component, but that should only be possible with AP.

But it's usually not the case that you get cases like this where a Medium gun can penetrate heavy armor.

Really interesting. If your friend has any better footage than this I'd like to see it.

[snow anvil]

So in my case it’s a bug? Or maybe a probability thing

We tried this on an empty server and it didn’t work

[mystic stump]

This should be a bug, yeah. The way the armor simulation in this game works, there's really no intentional variance, it's cut and dry "Heavy cannon beats heavy armor, medium cannon beats medium armor, light cannon beats light armor, thin cannon beats thin armor".

[snow anvil]

Then maybe the devs should be alerted in this case to fix the bug in the upcoming update

[mystic stump]

I don't know if there's a bug report channel or not, so..

Oh there is lol

#bug-reporting

[snow anvil]

Okay thanks

[dim pulsar]

Ur hitting the top of the tank, not the front armor

Its on an decline

[snow anvil]

Yea I thought so as well so I tried it again on an empty server and it didn’t work

[strange mountain]

The spawn kills was ridiculous, the art kept killing us from spawn

[dawn widget]

I'm confused and only played on a tank crew twice, both on a heavy tank. Can a medium tank not damage a heavy tank then? Only a heavy tank can damage another heavy?

question for those that played spotter recon: how are the snipers in this game generally? do they cry and yell at you if you're not their spotting servant? I want to play recon but have my main objective harrasing artillery and giving intel to my team, not camp with the sniper

[tall orchid]

in general mediums cannot penetrate heavies from the front

there are a few exceptions

when I hop into a recon squad as a sniper I have a brief convo with the spotter about the expectations

a recon squad can work in any number of ways, together or separate

just depends on the players

[dawn widget]

what about shooting shells at the backside or sides of a heavy? That does damage?

[tall orchid]

yes

[native furnace]

Generally speaking when I play recon im not too worried about my sniper, as spotter im usually moving up towards arty, flanking or setting up garries for command.
My sniper can generally do whatever he wants and farm kills etc etc unless I want him with me to take out arty

[dawn widget]

@native furnace and most snipers are ok with it?

[native furnace]

ehh, most ive played with - I gotta say I dont play recon much myself

uve always got the OP if u need to reel em back in, but if ur playing sniper and the spotter has a specific plan in mind better to stay closish and follow

[unique hazel]

Hello I am new here

[delicate juniper]

Because HLL has perverted logic.

[brazen stirrup]

It's all about the angle. He has a exposed top armor. Your shots hit between turret and front armor. You can see the sparks on the top side of the armor. Wich means either your shot got cout as a hit from above or it ricochet from the turret inside the hull. If he would not stand Like this then your probably couldn't kill him like this

You didn't Hit the front armor

And shots on the top armor counts as side dmg so you did him 2x 80% hull dmg

[mystic stump]

Yeah, that's what I thought, too.

[lost aspen]

i wanna buy this game but im not sure

[mystic stump]

You can see what cannons can penetrate what kind of armor here: https://icilia95.wixsite.com/tankopedia/tank-engagement-1

I also suggest you read up on the Tank Bible here for more in-depth situational analysis: https://theline.gg/tankbible

[prime quartz]

its hardcore battlefield with a slower spawn system

[bronze sundial]

Wjat is stopping ya?

[lost aspen]

people

[prime quartz]

its like an alt reality where Battlefield kept deveoping similar to 1942

[lost aspen]

are people commonly using mics

[bronze sundial]

Some servers are better than others. But for the most part. Yeah

[mystic stump]

Yup, although VOIP cuts out every now and then due to Vivox.

[bronze sundial]

Which sometimes makes things better.

Lol

[lost aspen]

lol

[prime quartz]

its generally random

you will have good games and bad

compared to other similar games there is less comms

[lost aspen]

ill get it in a few days or next paycheck

can i imput a few hundred hous

[prime quartz]

HLL comms also are more centered around Team Leader <-> SL

rather than internal

[prime quartz]

where does it specify that top armor is equivalent to side armor?

[lost aspen]

thank you

is the aiming system heavily customizable

[bronze sundial]

Also, if you want better coms you can create a locked squad, and kick anyone without a mic

[lost aspen]

i come from apex

diamond

[bronze sundial]

Aiming? Like reticle? There is no hud reticle. Is all iron sights

[lost aspen]

nice

recoil cointrol?

[bronze sundial]

And some guns are better that others... damn greasegun

Each gun is different, semi auto is alright, and the auto guns you can control it a little, but firing habits will get you the most. This is not a bullet hose game.

[lost aspen]

good good

its all about communication then

[bronze sundial]

Any bullet at any range will kill you with a headshot. Most body shots will down you in 1 or two hits depending on the weapon

Team work is the most important aspect of the game.

[lost aspen]

so its common that if you dont have amic ppl will kick you

[bronze sundial]

Psh no

[lost aspen]

and if youre stealthy you get good

[prime quartz]

gunplay is pretty simple point and click for the most part

it plays very twitch shooter esque

[lost aspen]

how active is it

wait

[prime quartz]

where do you live?

[lost aspen]

there is adev reading this

[prime quartz]

no

[lost aspen]

hi dev

lol

ill buy it

dw

[bronze sundial]

When your deep in a firefight, but then it gets calm and tense as your huddled in a bush and need to let a squad pass by so you can get deeper into enemy lines.

[lost aspen]

so its very situational

[prime quartz]

it depends

[lost aspen]

us east

[prime quartz]

US east has plenty of servers

[bronze sundial]

Depending on your role yeah.

[lost aspen]

i like recon

[prime quartz]

how the game plays is based on your personal skill

if you are good at shooting the game is faster paced and you can just kill people constnatly

[bronze sundial]

Medics see the most action and get the most praise. Engineers are more back line

[prime quartz]

if you are bad at it then the game is slower and more tense

That isn't true

well the most praise maybe, but none of that is really accurate

[lost aspen]

so

run gun barely works

[prime quartz]

no

it works well

[bronze sundial]

Depends on who is playing what

[lost aspen]

positioning is key

[prime quartz]

as long as you are good

[lost aspen]

im ok

[prime quartz]

the gunplay is very twitch shooter esque

so if you are good at that style of shooting you can wreck people and the game is faster paced

[lost aspen]

i just need knowledge onwhat is what

[prime quartz]

if you aren't as good then the game plays more campy

[bronze sundial]

The gameplay does favor defense,

[prime quartz]

there isn't much recoil, guns are very accurate, and OHK

so if you are good at being able to twitch onto a target you can win fights that in reality you couldn't

Coming from Apex that might be a benefit

since you will be more used to that style of play

[gloomy grove]

The trick is that it's twitching onto small targets at 100m, not a target at 5m

[bronze sundial]

Waiting to spot movement is better then running off. And even that falls down to you basic situational awareness

[prime quartz]

i'd disagree with that

movement is king but it requires that you have the skills to back it up

but if you do its a massive benefit

[gloomy grove]

You need to be able to recognise movement, twitch into it, then control the recoil at that distance.

The fights are happening at 50-100m a lot of the time. Do that for three or four targets in a row and you'll likely find their spawn point

And controlling spawns wins games

[prime quartz]

part of the thing is you usually don't need to control recoil since its OHK or 2HK

[potent igloo]

hi

[bronze sundial]

Aue. This game cators to all types of playstyles

[prime quartz]

you just need to be able to single or double tap

[lost aspen]

my main game is apex i can do movement

lol

[prime quartz]

movement is diff in that you are very slow

So you are moving slowly across a field and see movement and snap shoot it for a kill

[lost aspen]

i wanna play

but can tive been up all night its now 11

[gloomy grove]

You single or double tap when you're moving slow. You control recoil when you're twitching into it unless you're a top 1% player and can be pixel perfect on your aim

[prime quartz]

But yea actual gameplay is defined by spawns

[bronze sundial]

Very slow. And you only get a vault that, is... well very noticable

[prime quartz]

i might just be very good

4k too though so ymmv

[gloomy grove]

You're probably playing slower than you think, but 4K and being good is definitely part of it

[prime quartz]

I mean HLL isn't a fast game by any means

even being very fast is uhhh slow

[bronze sundial]

It can get fast, bu then your usually dead soon after.

[mystic stump]

Right. It's a slow-paced shooter.

[lost aspen]

thats why i was considering recon

[prime quartz]

I wouldn't call it a slow paced shooter though

its a very fast paced shooter

[bronze sundial]

Now see rcone is a bit of a pickle

[gloomy grove]

Recon should be played faster than regular infantry

[prime quartz]

but your actual moveemnt is slow

[bronze sundial]

You want to be a sniper you have to have a spotter first

[gloomy grove]

If you're slow as recon you're not helping the team

[prime quartz]

like your max speed is slow but once you are in a fight you can get 5-6 kills in a handful of seconds

the actual combat is milliseconds

[bronze sundial]

Also flank wider then you think you should.

[prime quartz]

its why I describe HLL as Battlefield Hardcore and sorta alternative reality 1942

because you have a movement and spawn system which is slow

but you have a combat system which is very fast

and maybe the fastest I've ever seen in a game outside of UT 2004

[lost aspen]

ALSO

cals

caps

i have a 1650 super is that good

[prime quartz]

it will be fine for 1080[

[gloomy grove]

Recon should pick and choose when to be wide.

They're either at enemy arty, taking out back garrisons, or in the back of the contested enemy point being a nuisance.

You shouldn't be wandering the wilderness

[prime quartz]

odds are you will be CPU limited

not video card

[gloomy grove]

Too many people, regular infantry included, wander the wilderness. Stop 'map control' ideas. Get in the cap sector or get on defence

[lost aspen]

AMD Ryzen 5 3500 6-Core Processor 3.59 GHz

[bronze sundial]

Not even as recon, 1 flanking squad can do a lot of damage.

[prime quartz]

i ahve a 3600 and get good performance

1 flanking player can do a massive amount of damage

1 flanking player can win a cap

[lost aspen]

cap?

[prime quartz]

capture point

[bronze sundial]

Map control is very important both attacking and defending.

[lost aspen]

ok

[prime quartz]

each game is 5 capture points

map control doesn't really matter

spawn control does

they are sometimes related but not always

[bronze sundial]

But yes to many are often not helping controlling the sector

[gloomy grove]

Map control of the cap sector is important. Map control of 600m away isn't. Too many people do the latter

[prime quartz]

HLL is all about spawns

[bronze sundial]

I agree.

[prime quartz]

nothing else matters if you care about winning than spawn points

[gloomy grove]

This is the gospel truth

That is why one lone guy can win a game

[prime quartz]

solo flanking can, therefore, result in a single player winning a match

yea

[lost aspen]

silencer

no dice
?

[gloomy grove]

If they take the spawn point, they can win a game

[prime quartz]

there is no silencer but half the playerbase is deaf

[bronze sundial]

Hahahaha. Nope each gunshot announces your position in the soundscape

[lost aspen]

lmao

[bronze sundial]

But yes, no one is really listening half the time.

[dawn widget]

My rule as commander for flankers:

If you’re using your outposts: knock yourself out

If you build a garrison X which has an obtuse angle to the line between Defending Point and Attacking Point, that shit’s getting deleted

[lost aspen]

you used the word obtuse

this game requires brain

[dawn widget]

oh no

[gloomy grove]

My rule as commander for flankers:

Hurry the fuck up

[lost aspen]

so

[gloomy grove]

These are global timers based on when they're placed

[lost aspen]

if im good at hitting pizels

pixels

i can win

[gloomy grove]

Hit pixels, learn to read movements to work out spawn points

Don't waste time

Dying means nothing

[patent condor]

I hope they make the lee enfield shoot fast af. for as much as bfv gets torn apart, it atleast got the firerate of the lee enfield correct

[lost aspen]

i can get a semi auto and go haywire

[dawn widget]

I thought BFV had been almost fully rehabilitated now by the release of its successor, as it goes

[gloomy grove]

I went 56/42 in a 30v30 comp match the other night . The most engagements of anyone on our team by like 20 engagements. I also grabbed 11 spawns, third highest on our team. Be speedy. Hit pixels. Find spawns. Win.

[patent condor]

the farthest ive gotten a headshot was around 700? metres with an m1

pixel hunting

[gloomy grove]

Players don't render after 500m

[lost aspen]

pixel hunting

[gloomy grove]

So unlikely

[patent condor]

ah

[lost aspen]

no snipers?

[gloomy grove]

2 snipers per team

[lost aspen]

snipers without scope

[dawn widget]

Still possible. Maybe he was doing gun kata

[lost aspen]

hipfire and pray fora headshot

[patent condor]

pixel hunting lmao

[gloomy grove]

There are bolt actions, but all guns can be snipers

They all 1HK to the head

[lost aspen]

good enough

like rainbow

[patent condor]

can you get headshot by an smg and survive?

if its really far away? or will it still dink you

[lost aspen]

any bullet

[dawn widget]

Like rainbow without the intense pain

[lost aspen]

if i shoot in the air like its new years i can get a kill?

[patent condor]

lmao

[gloomy grove]

Dink

[patent condor]

i remember one round i think, im not sure but i got shot and the headshot sound played and somehow i survived lmao idk if i did, hell i have no idea 🤷🏽‍♂️

[dawn widget]

I don’t know. I read normal guns are hitscan. But maybe it changed

[gloomy grove]

PTE? The shotgun was doing it

[slender sparrow]

Did they buff the tanks since the Russian update? Or are medium tanks still doo doo?

[patent condor]

no

[lost aspen]

there is hitscan in this game?>

[gloomy grove]

Odd. Not come across that

[dawn widget]

according to my surfin of the net, yes

[lost aspen]

so point and click adventure

[gloomy grove]

No. Ballistics fully modelled

[patent condor]

projectile

[gloomy grove]

Parabolic curves included

All small arms are sighted for 100m

[dawn widget]

Ok, banning myself from chat for a while

[gloomy grove]

Nah, keep asking these questions

[sweet cliff]

Hit scan is when the whatever the reticle is over at the time the mouse is clicked is hit

[lost aspen]

niuce

[gloomy grove]

It's all good knowledge

[slender sparrow]

Did they buff the tanks since the Russian update? Or are medium tanks still doo doo??

[patent condor]

if only you could sight your rifle like in arma

[dawn widget]

You should make a wiki

[gloomy grove]

Doo doo

[dawn widget]

Discord is just endless facts repeated and forgotten

[gloomy grove]

I couldn't just vomit the knowledge. I need prompting

I'm like this at work. I'll sit pretty dormant doing my own work until someone needs specific knowledge and then I can fact bomb them on minute details

It's a blessing and a curse

[prime quartz]

ballistics aren't fully modeled

there is a model for them

being pedantic to an extant but its also why you can do stupid shit like 200 meter head shot with an SMG

[gloomy grove]

I mean, you could do that if they're fully modelled surely?

[prime quartz]

you could but the mechanism would be different

currently you just need to adjust for drop so if you see a static target you can aim X centimeters above said target to compensate for drop

whereas in reality at longer range you would have your round impacted by environmental factors, bullet stability factors, etc...

so as you get outside of your weapons effective range you would increasingly be relying on luck to make the shot connect

[gloomy grove]

Ahh right, yeah, that makes sense. Fully modelled isn't the right description for it then. Projectile based is more accurate then?

[prime quartz]

i would say so

[bronze sundial]

Not really. as a soldier you get a little simple ping, and you should communicate what it is you see to your Squad lead. the Squad lead can manually put down a marker that you and other squads can see... tho they are not alway accurate.

[dawn widget]

Am I good yet

you just need to find the sweet spot after you get it you can rack a lot of kills

[mystic stump]

Check out this roadmap.

That's all coming up soon.

this is sick

Flakpanzer?

Wirbelwind?

[mystic stump]

Presumably to shoot down command call in airstrikes.

And also possibly as a anti-infantry weapon.

[dawn widget]

Yeah

Prob Wirbelwind will shred everything

[mystic stump]

Everything but tanks, yeah.

[dawn widget]

Wirbelwind is nightmare

After all of this content, there's also content expansions including the Canadians in the Falaise Pocket and the Japanese in the Pacific front. And even more maps will be coming for all the existing theatres of war: Eastern front, Normandy, the Rhineland, etc.

2 cm Flak 38 is very deadly guns

[wanton tulip]

So hi, just installed the game. Are there any training servers I can jump onto to test keybindings, just get a feel for the game prior to hitting live servers?

[dawn widget]

no but there's a number of empty servers you can go into and play around in 👍

[wanton tulip]

ah sweet, thanks.

[buoyant hearth]

British forces NUTT

[prime flower]

so im a ww2 history nut, is this game worth the 40.00$? just wondering also if I can find a squad easily?

[next oasis]

it looks like ww2

[mystic stump]

Totally worth it, yeah.

And there's plenty of communities you can join if you look in #pc-divisions-recruitment , or you can just ask if people want to play in #pc-looking-for-unit .
My experience is that many pub players can also make good squad mates, but your mileage may vary.

[buoyant hearth]

For me it’s definitely worth it, bought it two days ago and it’s really fun.

Perfect balance between the WW2 realistic game you always wanted. But it still actually being a game

[prime flower]

hey thanks, downloading now

[old silo]

I see Camping Mode 🏕 to be introduced soon!

[polar warren]

any chance for japanese faction huhu

or usmc 🙂

[mystic stump]

Yeah, I kinda mentioned it lol.

Don't know if they'll bring in the USMC alongside the Japanese faction, we'll have to see.

[polar warren]

would be cool to be in iwo jima and lead a banzai charge

[mystic stump]

Yup. Like in RS, but a modern shooter without RS's wonderful jank. Although, HLL has some jank of its own, but that's OK. I can handle a little jank lol

[polar warren]

I personally think a USMC faction to represent the pacific theater would be nice

or like a sicily map would do

I mean the iconic photos of WW2 is in Iwo Jima

[mystic stump]

Iwo Jima and the Victory Banner over the Reichstag, yeah.

Including the USMC would be nice.

[polar warren]

anyone here know how the heck to read the german tank sights

like WHY

I NEED RANGES

[prime quartz]

They don’t work

[mystic stump]

Use the triangle.

[prime quartz]

Just a skin

[mystic stump]

Yup.

But it is consistent, it just isn't accurate to the genuine range-finders.

So you just need to get a sense for it and it shouldn't be any problem moving forward.

[polar warren]

the triangle is the main sight the cross hair

I mean to range it

like 600 m out

[prime quartz]

Cannot

[polar warren]

this is a problem people

[prime quartz]

See the top of the optic

[polar warren]

the top of the optic doesnt say shit

[mystic stump]

There's no specific indicator for it, but you'll eventually learn where to aim based on a certain range.

[prime quartz]

Where it says 0

[polar warren]

wait is it like whenever i range the turret it moves the little arrow

[prime quartz]

0 - 2 - 4 - 6 that is distance in metered for the listed shell type

[prime quartz]

Again it doesn’t function in game

[polar warren]

i know that but what im saying is how do i tell where to aim up

[prime quartz]

You guess

Big triangle is your point of aim

[polar warren]

see thats the problem

with the sherman you can get the correct range

[prime quartz]

If you need to adjust for drop you hold over

[polar warren]

with the IS and T34

you can do the same

[polar warren]

in a battle with like a Tiger vs. IS

you need accuracy

[mystic stump]

Those range lines aren't accurate, either.

[polar warren]

for the first shot

[polar warren]

i'd say differently

[prime quartz]

Yea, they’d have to be calibrated to the game’s FOV and my guess is they aren’t

[polar warren]

I get kills 900 meters out in stalingrad and still hit shotts using the ranger

[prime quartz]

It’s not hard to do that

[mystic stump]

None of the range indicators are actually simulated.

[prime quartz]

But eh

[polar warren]

its not? well fuck i've just been a lucky bastard lol

[prime quartz]

The advantage is that they give you a visual reference point

For your holdover

Whereas the hitlerite sight doesn’t

[polar warren]

right thats what im saying

[mystic stump]

Probably. First time I played Stalingrad I hit three 900m shots without even hesitating, not using range-lines or anything.

[polar warren]

the hold overs are way more accurate

[polar warren]

in stalingrad you get a lot of tank kills

[mystic stump]

Yup.

[polar warren]

especially the soviet side

cause you can creep and hit the tanks on the hill

[mystic stump]

The holdovers give you a reference to aim for, but they themselves aren't actually calibrated to the ranges they are set to.

Again, with time you'll get used to the German optics.

i'll dm you a clip so you can see roughly what to do

[polar warren]

thx

so frustrated when I cant get the right shot in the tank

[mystic stump]

👍 It's understandable, no worries. I get frustrated with some shots every now and then too.

[brisk plank]

Man I just went down a hell of a rabbit hole after your question…. Basically like others said, it doesn’t work in this game. There is a mod for War Thunder though that looks cool.

These were the most interesting things I found.

https://www.quora.com/Just-how-superior-were-German-Zeiss-optics-specifically-German-tank-gun-sights-in-WWII

The ranging stuff may or may not work but the adjustments won’t work with the way the game is today.

[polar warren]

I too went down a rabbit hole

sorry lol

someone has shown me a picture of the pzgr sight ingame and said that hll is realistic because it has that optic

[polar warren]

its active but you have to guess well on who the good squads and servers are

[prime quartz]

Let them know that they are wrong

[hardy cedar]

i lost faith in this playerbase :D havent played hll in a long time

[mystic stump]

plenty of people to play tank with, and new tanks are coming 😄

[frank rain]

am waiting for free weekend but meanwhile i got a question for y'all

how many total kills can you expect on average if you're just playing infantry for a whole map

[prime quartz]

depends on if you are good or not

i palyed a round a few days ago where I went 85ish and 20

but I've seen people go like 1 and 10 and be happy about it

[hardy cedar]

if you are at least somewhat capable, somewhere between 20-40 kills and 10-20 deaths

[mystic stump]

Yup, if you're playing objective and staying alive this is pretty easy to attain.

[magic dust]

I will probably wait for a free weekend to make sure my new computer can play the game but if it does I will definitely be buying

[quiet dragon]

you can always buy it on steam and if you realize you cant run it return it within 2 hours of gameplay! here are the minimum requirements in case.
the game is still very active, always welcome to squad up if you decide to hop back in 🙂
PU: i3-4130 @ 3.3GHz / AMD FX-8350 @ 4.0GHz (or equivalent)
CPU SPEED: Info.
RAM: 8 GB.
OS: Win7 64bit.
VIDEO CARD: GTX1050ti / R9 280 (or equivalent with minimum 2GB VRAM)
PIXEL SHADER: 5.1.
VERTEX SHADER: 5.1.
FREE DISK SPACE: 20 GB.

[magic dust]

I did a free weekend on my old computer and ran it at like 10 frames per second but I played more than 2 hours so I can't do that

[quiet dragon]

OOF... I will say, the devs have optimized it alot more since then but no way to tell until you run it! Hopefully it gets working, would love to squad up m8

[native furnace]

what is ur specs?

[magic dust]

Yeah I do hope it runs well. I think it probably would, but I ran every game at really low frames for years I don't want to risk it happening again lol

[magic dust]

Mediocre

[native furnace]

mine are mid to low end and I can run 30fps more or less

[magic dust]

Well

We'll see

[native furnace]

maybe if u post them soneone can compare?

[magic dust]

It's okay I'll wait

That's good

[tender summit]

@glad pasturehello i just got contacted by scammer from this server

This is my history chat

And now i block him

[dawn widget]

Nicely done ✅

[hardy cedar]

nah, wait for free weekend, 2 hrs is just to get the thing going and join a match

[quiet dragon]

That's fair, either way I hope you enjoy man

[queen sky]

Russia playing hll

[river fable]

Weasel little scammers

[cinder sonnet]

how does it take you guys 2 hours to join a match

[red gust]

Hm

[native furnace]

it used to take me fucking ages because 1. id wait through a long and full queue, then id spend a couple minutes loading the damn map only to disconnect from host or crash

fix by installing on HLL, then you can get into games within 5 mins if theres not a full queue

[mystic stump]

Sometimes if I want to join a specific server since my pals are in it, it might take a while. But otherwise I usually just look for a populated server with good ping and no queue.

[cinder sonnet]

yeah takes me what like, 2 minutes? 1 minute clicking around the menu until I find a game, then another loading and waiting for spawn

[mystic stump]

If I'm not trying to join a server that doesn't have a queue it usually only takes 3 minutes.

I don't have a great PC, it's old and has an HDD so..

[prime quartz]

get that SSD man

become next gen

[mystic stump]

Yeah, but like..

Parts for a new PC are rip-off prices with these scalpers.

[prime quartz]

really? outside of video cards thigns seem fine

[mystic stump]

Yeah, scalper prices inflated the cost of video cards by something like twice it's regular cost.

[prime quartz]

so like I can go get a 1tb Samsung SSD for $109

inland 512gb for $48

[mystic stump]

Oh sure, but I'm waiting for a full rebuild.

I could probably get an SSD that would work in my rig, I'd just rather do it all at once to save myself the hassle.

[prime quartz]

i would 100% recommend doing it. If you get a sata one its plug and play and you don't even need a slot for it really

[mystic stump]

Eh, I'm not really impatient to get an SSD in, I'm just looking to snatch up all the parts to build my new PC. It'll probably be sometime in January.

[next oasis]

there are people that still use HDDs...

😬

[uncut jasper]

In 2021

[steel dock]

anyone got some good servers for brand new beginner?

[livid elbow]

/\ (looking for the same.. NA)

[neon remnant]

Hi

[autumn rose]

HDDs are so common man idk what yall are talking about

Its legitimately just a cost thing, you can get a 4 or 8TB HDD with 7200rpm+ for the same price as a 1TB Sata SSD. M.2s are a bit more tho

Like if I could afford to swap all my hard drives to m.2 I'd be living the dream

[prime quartz]

I haven't used a HDD in like 4 years

Like you can get an okay 1tb SSD for $80

less than that previous to the pandemic

[native furnace]

USD? and can it be an external plug in?

[prime quartz]

*internal is what i bought

but USD

[autumn rose]

I have an HDD for not essentials

If I get an M.2 I need a new board too, so I get to suck eggs for not having enough money to cash out on new parts

[prime quartz]

*m.2 doesnt matter

and wont for at least a year or two

prolly longert

[mental sundial]

Can always get m.2 to PCIe cards to mount a m.2 SSD

Assuming you have the right slot available

[dawn widget]

waitin for these uniforms

[native furnace]

waitin for that face

[silk ledge]

I doubt they want to deal with that PR disaster on twitter (joke)

I mean its the Panzer Lehr anyway but whatever

[still vault]

Hello.

[calm sapphire]

I’m unsure of what else I’m supposed to do to get access for offtopic

[mystic stump]

I think it's pretty fair to say that HDDs are more common than SSDs, so I'm not sure why it's a surprise.

[still vault]

Things increasingly shifting to SSDs, as well as the shock of "You are still using those things when an almost entirely, objectively better technology in every way exists?" being a thing.

[mystic stump]

Yeah, but believe it or not most people aren't running modern rigs.

[still vault]

Flashbacks to discovering DirectX Feature Level fix videos for GT 220s, GT 8600s, and so on intensify.

[polar warren]

its probably not possible to add SS units to hell let loose lol

since their reputation and all

[still vault]

Avoiding very specific Panzergrenadier Divisions is possible, but improbable.

[dawn widget]

I’m almost excited for the people here yet to upgrade to SSD. It’s like you’re about to watch Breaking Bad for the first time. Lifechanging for anything outside gaming

[mystic stump]

lol yeah, i'll have my SSD when i build my new pc

[novel wagon]

Only worth getting an SSD if it's NVME or PCIE

Imho

Eh maybe not only but you will see the most benefit

[dawn widget]

or RTX

[novel wagon]

Lol what's wrong with RTX

[still vault]

SATA SSDs are the start. NVMe is the continuation.

[novel wagon]

Going to an NVMe from a sata SSD was a similar jump as going from HDD to sata SSD

That's hownit felt anyway, my ge drive has been an SSD for a decade now, just just an NVMe drive last year and the performance jump was very noticeable

[native furnace]

Felt this way man, difference between night and day 👌🏻

[uncut jasper]

SATA and NVMe’s difference in performance when it comes to loading games is negligible. The bottleneck passes to the game engine or the CPU once you hit SATA, so NVMe’s not gonna matter much in that regard until Direct Storage starts to be utilized

Which is RTX-specific btw

Even Windows doesn’t really boot any faster between the two

My boot and primary game drive is a M.2 NVMe SSD btw

[magic dust]

As long as you're not switching motherboards, it's probably worth it to just get an ssd now

like not switching motherboard companies

going from amd to intel made me have to wipe all my hdd and ssd data but if you aren't switching you shouldn't have that problem.

[still vault]

What?

[echo hamlet]

are servers down?

[uncut jasper]

If you’re switching architectures like that, they shouldn’t have any issues; just need the proper drivers. If you like redundancy, reinstall Windows. Usually not necessary tho

[echo hamlet]

bcs it says it cant find compatibale servers

wth

[magic dust]

had to reformat them from amd to intel because I hadnt prepped them before hand

it was a simple mistake

[echo hamlet]

?

[dawn widget]

make sure you're using the regular Hell Let Loose executable in steam and not the test server one

[dawn widget]

what are the soundstracks?

[prime quartz]

Yea, right now NVMe’s drive are a waste of money

unless you are doing some sort of actual work with multiple drives

e.g. moving data from one NVMe to another or something

but most people aren't going to be doing any sort of work that requires that

[dim pulsar]

🤔

[tidal yarrow]

Yeah unless you're doing like 4k video editing on multiple drives it's kind of a waste

For gaming it's a nonfactor

SATA SSDs are still fine

[unique coyote]

Hey all, I’m brand new to HLL and discord so sorry that I don’t know much! Is there anywhere on this discord where we can try to party up with other players? I played last night for the first time and am rly looking to work with a team when I hop on this weekend

Fg42 will be baller

What role has fg42

🤔

[tall orchid]

sniper and automatic rifleman

[dim pulsar]

Really?

Sniper?

Dafuq?

[tall orchid]

sniper variant gets a 4x scope

[dim pulsar]

U lie to me

[tall orchid]

you’ve got access to #pte-info, go read the changelog yourself

[somber depot]

What's the channel where development news and stuff like that is posted?

[native furnace]

telegrams

[hardy birch]

What’s the satchel blast radius approximately?

[native furnace]

either clear of the building its in or run a fair bit away from the tank you've placed it

close enough to watch either but maybe 20m

[hasty tinsel]

~30m

Enough to clear just about all houses
The safe range is 35m or when the symbol disappears off the hud

[hardy birch]

Most important combat tip I can give: Don’t run around and look for enemies, don’t rush because this ain’t cod. Look at the map alot which direction your teammates are (facing) if you really don’t know, then you know where to expect enemy contact.

I made this mistake alot as a new player, so it’s based outta experience

[hardy birch]

Clear all houses when you place it in the mid or when you place it on the side (indoors)?I assume side right?

35m isn’t playing around

[hasty tinsel]

Just about anywhere,
Even on opposite corners is good enough to kill

[hardy birch]

Sounds great. Haven’t unlocked it yet since I’m grinding my way up the ranks in SL but seems like something fun.

[sinful cargo]

Hello friends! I just got a new PC and picked up this game but i'm having an absolute HELL (haha) of a time trying to figure all of the controls out and actually be able to play effectively. I'm not sure if this is something to put into here or onto the pc looking for units tab.

[shy tree]

will controllable planes ever be added?

[native furnace]

highly doubt it, game doesnt have the player count or frankly the ability to create this feature yet.

dont be fooled by the coming addition of AA stuff on the roadmap

[shy tree]

i was

i got really happy

but yeah makes sense

i hope more people find and play this game though

[native furnace]

hopefully in future but...be in for a wait, yeah^

[shy tree]

well

just a question

cause i saw a lot of AA stuff

[white beacon]

Just got it for series x and everytime I join a game immediately loose connection smh

[vagrant warren]

What's the Manual Bot Cycling setting for?

[dawn widget]

wow I'm shocked how few people have the ammo box achievement.. what's so hard about it? And the class has the similar gun choices as the infantryman anyway

also surprised how many people made it to rank 50 to be honest

[thin linden]

Steam is a bit weird with its achievements

[hasty tinsel]

I suggest add the word "nitro" to the bot auto remove list

[short hedge]

hi im retlivly new to pc gaming still im up for showing you what iv learned so far if you want. gis a shout if you want a game

[sinful cargo]

Sounds wonderful friend! I'm currently at work and have a bit more afterwards but I will definitely let you know when I'm on!

[sudden merlin]

Hello i bought this game yesterday. it's a steep learning curve. anyone fancy squading up with me and show me the ropes?

what if you click the rent a server button on the server list in-game? (i haven't tried it myself)

I honestly havnt even seen that button, ill take a look. Thanks for the info

Have a good one

[dawn widget]

it's next to the refresh and back button on the server browser

really confused by the purpose of the engineer's second kit - takes away his AP and AT mines & building capability in favor of a CQC SMG and one satchel?

he's no longer an engineer at that point and lost his core kit.. very confused

[gloomy grove]

Ask the mods for the link to The Bunker discord. It's where server admins hang out and talk servers

[warm knot]

so is everyone else, don't feel left out

engineer just becomes another assault class with that loadout

[dawn widget]

No room for a hammer while Support guy is wandering around like Santa Claus

[ashen tiger]

Anyone want to play with a first timer …never played and really want to check it out. I am on PS5. PSN is Djxgam1ng

[atomic dawn]

i think it is supposed to be a ”sapper” kit

though i think that kit needs some work. There should be something unique about it, as Enigma said, it plays like the assault class

[tall orchid]

that was a round

[native furnace]

Arty?

[tall orchid]

175 on arty, the rest as support

[uncut jasper]

17 kills on one guy, RIP

[slim fractal]

GTX Gaming, low.ms, Nitrado, G-Portal. They dont like to share that information to public 😂🤷‍♂️

I can recommend and vouch GTX Gaming. But whatever you do, do NOT rent from G-Portal.

https://www.gtxgaming.co.uk/clientarea/aff.php?aff=1898

[slim fractal]

Never has been. Not a single Twitch drop has been dropped

[native furnace]

id probably be calling it a night after that lmao

[uncut jasper]

After six kills I'd either start aggroing arty hard or just leave lmao

[warm knot]

what's the deal with g-portal?

[sudden merlin]

@zealous hedge PC

Oh alright

No drop is worth me enduring cringe streams

I would however, watch a stream collaboration between @next oasis and @dawn widget

Chum would be assault and danny the medic, they will go on wild missions

why is the fg42 mentioned in the title only of the latest blog lol

[uncut jasper]

Content

[dawn widget]

can someone explain this joke to me?

[next oasis]

there was a change in the movement speed feel. There was a slight addition of player momentum

if you see older footage of HLL, you'll notice the player reaching top speed rather quickly when he went into a sprint

[hasty tinsel]

Ok that makes sense lol

[subtle flint]

Nice lmao, I just got my 75 kills without being killed badge.

[uncut jasper]

Based, let's go for 100

[uncut jasper]

Yessir, that’s why we play arty

Arty go boom boom, grug activate brain

[bright peak]

will a satchel completely destroy fully upgraded barricades/bunkers/barbed wire within its explosion radius?

[hasty tinsel]

It should

[mystic stump]

what if they added a "friendlies killed" stat to the endscreen? arty would prolly looking p susus

[uncut jasper]

Collateral damage

Disregard friendlies. acquire killstreaks

[mystic stump]

Lool that's how I feel when my HE gets snagged on some rubble or smth

[sweet owl]

How do I ID the difference between a light and heavy tank?

[spiral compass]

https://theline.gg/tankbible/#4

[peak veldt]

If you die in a tank without seeing what got you, that was a heavy tank. If you die having put 30 rounds down against a target with it doing nothing, and then get taken out by infantry, congrats, you’re in a light tank 😄

[sweet owl]

lol. No I was spotting an enemy tank for my SL and he asked if it was heavy or light and I was like "all tanks are very heavy bro"... 😅

I haven't developed the courage to try using a tank yet

[tidal yarrow]

Same. I want to try at some point, but I don't want to be a pain in the ass for the tank commander

[peak veldt]

Tbh if someone is new all you need to do is put the most experienced player in the spotter seat and follow orders. Tanking is one of the best team experiences. Three people per tank is ideal.

Driver: Be smooth and purposeful. Don’t randomly move when it’s clear the tank is shooting or targeting. Doesn’t matter if you think it’s a good idea except an emergency - like life or death.

Gunner: Keep gun front unless otherwise instructed (you’ll be taking targets on from the front) and listen / look for spotter pings. Tell them what you have loaded and if you spot enemy and need to take a shot, tell driver to stop.

Spotter (usually SL): eyes on a swivel. Check the rear too. Give orders to driver. Ping enemy and say what they are. Prioritise enemy armour and AT infantry. Also keep an eye out for mines and routes thru the scenery.

Got 100+ infantry kills and 5 vehicle kills in a medium tank using those principles in my last match. So it works 🙂

[peak veldt]

Go for it!

[native furnace]

If ur fighting Germans its easy enough. Guess u know what a tiger looks like because thats the heavy. For the time being the slightly smaller, more sloped tank thats sort of camo coloured is the panther and its the medium tank (although will later be reintroduced as a heavy)
The German light tank (called the Luchs) is the smallest for starters as easily identifiable by its gun. If you hear 'doof doof doof doof' or whatever the shit like an AA or auto cannon then u know its the light

If ur fighting Americans its a fair bit trickier. Please dont ever ever just say 'its a sherman' cuz almost all of them are.
Sherman Heavy tanks - the 76 is the one to watch out for, its big obviously but identifiable by the muzzle break on the end of its turret.
The Sherman Jumbo is the 75 - its also pretty big, and lighter green but not as powerful cannon, so if u see what looks like a 76 with no muzzle break, thats just the Jumbo
The Sherman medium tank is hard to identify at range, its darker green than the 75, and has logs and shit all over its sides. Thats usually how I spot it
The US light tank is different, its a little boxy thing and its called the Stuart. God fucking bless

[dim pulsar]

If the front of the tank has a sharp slope, its a Jumbo.
if the slope is soft, its a m4 medium

If the barrel is short is 75, if the barrel is long its a 76

If you cant tell , you are 🥔

[dawn widget]

I've tried a few times and been put off. Tank commanders are very uptight I've found. If you dare miss a shot or not react fast enough etc you can hear they get very frustrated by their voice. And if your tank blows up it's almost a 50/50 if they'll ragequit. The other teammates are usually chill. But for some reason the tank commanders I've encountered have all been strung to the wire and not been pleasant to play with them. Makes my performance anxiety go through the roof playing tanks because of them

and the way tanks handle and what they can get caught/stuck in the environment is bogus and legit annoying. I don't want to drive a tank solely due to that.. it takes ages to reverse and get going again after you get stuck on something. So I've only been playing spotter and gunner. Hasn't made me want to play more tanks

[dawn widget]

It’s been 50/50 for me, had some good ones recently. I agree that a moody tank commander is more of a problem than an infantry squad lead, because you can’t get away from it. It’s like domestic abuse. I just say my team needs me elsewhere and leave.

if you play it like that, its awesome

don't expect an Arma

but whenever somebody goes "URGh, medic...plu...please...I need help...I can't feel my legs" in local chat, I get an urge to blow them up with a grenade.

[autumn rose]

I once told a guy to go to the light during that

[next oasis]

this is where the HLLs shotty gib potential comes in

[modern rampart]

I wish it would gib more granular

Not just..."turn into porridge", how some member in here described it

[next oasis]

yeah, it doesn't seem quite locational. Rather, it just activates "puzzle piece" mode

[modern rampart]

Exactly

Maybe something that will be addressed in some manner with the "new death animations"

gore needs improvements

[autumn rose]

all the gibs are the same american guy

[next oasis]

basically unchanged since its inception

[modern rampart]

Not entirely true. Soviets and Americans share the model. Germans have their own

[autumn rose]

are you sure

[modern rampart]

It does not however reflect what the character was wearing before he turned into porridge

[modern rampart]

100%

[autumn rose]

I've HE shelled a german and watched him become an american

well

his pieces

[next oasis]

gibs dont rotate in the air.

Looks like TF2s giblets

[modern rampart]

lmao

[autumn rose]

DOCTOR

[dull birch]

not enough flirting with the medics by players in milsims

[autumn rose]

^^^

[modern rampart]

That Automatic Rifleman is a spy!!

[autumn rose]

if your conversation with your medic isn't atleast mildly homosexual you're not deserving of that morphine

THAT MEDICS A SPY

[next oasis]

flamethrower check

[autumn rose]

dear god

[modern rampart]

petition to have native voice overs in HLL and have one of the German battle cries be "OKTOBERFEST"

[autumn rose]

pyro mains when they add the flamethrower to HLL

[dull birch]

Medic forced to flirt back so you don't go into shock

[autumn rose]

Yes

[modern rampart]

I used to be very nice to the people I revived when I played medic.

[autumn rose]

no longer

[modern rampart]

Right, cause I haven't played medic since forever

was the first class I played and "mained"

got it to rank 10. Never touched it after that.

[autumn rose]

my best friend IRl did that

he got it to 7 and literally wouldn't play the game anymore cause of sadness

I've finally got him to just play MG

[modern rampart]

Playing medic is frustrating to say the least and everybody thinks you are useless.

[autumn rose]

when they added the second class for medic he was actually depressed

[modern rampart]

which tbf...you rarely need medics.

I wouldn't call them generally useless though

they could use some work though

[dull birch]

I played medic once and guys would just off themselves 20m away from me

[autumn rose]

It'd be better if you couldn't Give up until you bled out like 25% or 50% of the way

and just reduce the bleed out timer

[modern rampart]

That didn't happen as much when I played medic

back around U6 times

[autumn rose]

I've had moments where I got shot in the foot and ran across a 250 meter field to get to a guy with a bandage and just fallen over right as I got to him

[modern rampart]

yup, that stuff happens

also does anyone here know how to run an Oscilloscope

[dull birch]

nope

[autumn rose]

me neither

do you see the issue

[dull birch]

wish the map would have 10ths marked out too

[dull birch]

why do all the sub guns feel awful?

[uncut jasper]

Because they have uncontrollable recoil

[prime quartz]

rifles are very reliable and lethal

so SMGs feel bad

[next oasis]

yet to see console footage of someone trying to compensate for full auto recoil

[mystic stump]

Just a question, is it a known bug that Kursk and Stalingrad matches don't track for Steam achievements?

[gloomy grove]

I'll plug a controller into my pc later and try it, just for you

[native furnace]

yeah quite sure

[tall orchid]

not a bug

they've said the new achievements won't kick on untl U11

[jaunty elbow]

??

[tall orchid]

is @glad pasture okay, i haven't seen him around much lately

[autumn rose]

Maybe hes touching grass and living the good life

Or sleeping

[dawn widget]

Mornin

[normal pike]

He's having a brief real life break :)

[dull birch]

why can servers show like 10 empty spaces a 3/6 queue and then tell me the server is full?

[tall orchid]

mapchange

[unkempt saddle]

Hell Let Loose's next free update will deploy December 7th!

WHAT

[dawn widget]

maybe it was during a map change and then it re-filled? not sure

One time I saw a server with 21/2 VIP slots. Idk how that makes sense haha

[willow dome]

When you finally get into a good squad 🙌

[atomic pulsar]

21 / 2 means:
21 players who are VIPs are connected. But there are only 2 reserved slots, i.e. non-VIPs can join any of the other 98 slots

[hasty tinsel]

Me and the boys 2 seconds before a grenade goes off

[uncut jasper]

Before the arty gibs all of us

By arty I mean mine

[honest quail]

Can anyone help connect my friend and I with a Division or squad?

The #console-divisions-recruitment is great, but according to the rules I'm not allowed to post in the channel and many of the divisions don't state their geographic region.

My friend and I are looking for the following.

Region: Australia
Platform: Console
Skill level: New to the game, but both are learning and researching heavily to get better
Other: I'm ex-military so enjoy the tactical element, comms and importance placed on roles. Both my friend and I enjoy MilSim and have no qualms being directeed in battle and would love to learn.

If anyone knows any Console Divisions or Squads let me know 👍

[dawn widget]

Welcome. If nobody replies here #console-looking-for-unit is usually pretty busy as well and I see people finding each other.

[cedar ice]

anyone down to train me on steam?

[hasty tinsel]

[honest quail]

Thanks for this Chiba. I might be missing something, but I can't seem to find the channel you've mentioned. 🤨

[dawn widget]

np 🙂 I think you might have to click one of these buttons: #readme-rules message

Then they should appear

[honest quail]

Very frustrating! Now it's saying I don't have access to this link haha. Someone, anyone please help. I just wanna play HLL with some people with mics 😫

[scarlet frost]

Are most servers alright to join as a rookie?

[uncut jasper]

Yes, any server should be

[autumn rose]

everyone is a rookie just with different hours

[uncut jasper]

Anyone who doesn’t want rookies in their server(s) are actually smoothbrained

[autumn rose]

^^

[scarlet frost]

Lol, got ya. So even if the description has a specific unit name or what not I should be golden?

[autumn rose]

that normally just means the unit runs the server

for all general reasons, they're public

[scarlet frost]

Righto. Thanks for the help guys.

[dense skiff]

Hello I'm new here! Are their any SEA servers for this game ?

[native furnace]

head on over to server browsers, thats...all it takes

[dense skiff]

Okay.

[onyx imp]

I'm literally going to play my first ever game tonight. Wish me luck!

[rugged ether]

have fun😁

[shrewd pewter]

@scarlet frost You're not the only newbie joining today, I'm in exactly the same position. No idea what I'm doing tbf 🙂

[distant rain]

Heyo

[marble vault]

Brand new…..looking for guidance?

I’m on Xbox

[plucky sigil]

same but I'm on pc

[jade drum]

Xbox Gamertag- YaBoiTyler#6657
T17 name- YaBoiTyler#6309
About 30 hours worth on PC, a couple hours on console, add me if you're looking for some team play

[next oasis]

1. Choose any class
2. Tell your SL to place down an OP, an OP placed anywhere is better than an OP placed no where
3. Look at your map, generally determine where the team is/if either of the two active objectives (attack or defense) are in progress of being capped.
4. Go towards either the attack objective or the defense objective, and don't linger in the in-between areas

It's this simple, and most players refuse to learn these most basic things.

[uncut jasper]

"euuughguguheghu bro haha, you just run for like five minutes and die over and over, you can't even tell where anyone is."

[tiny knot]

i absolutely love the game and cant wait to see where it goes, it takes everything that made RO2 legendary and expanded upon it. plus the levelling up/cosmetic unlock system is perfect.. wish more games did that, it keeps people playing.

[uncut jasper]

😬

[velvet gazelle]

So, quick question, I bought the game today and so far have been having a lot of fun, HOWEVER, coming from RO2 (meaning I use manual bolting), how come there's a delay between when you fire and can work the bolt on the Kar 98k?

[still vault]

Maybe it is to match the automatic bolt delay?

[velvet gazelle]

I haven't actually tried the automatic bolting, so that is possible.

[uncut jasper]

Bolting feels horrible

[next oasis]

the bolt actions rof is capped. If youre using Manual for the purpose of trying to send out rounds faster, you might as well set it to Auto bolt

[velvet gazelle]

Got it, I use it mainly because muscle memory.

[still vault]

Manual exists for familiarity and more granular control.

[dim pulsar]

Manual so you arent forced into an action after youve shot and missed

Especially at close quarters

[scarlet frost]

It's funny, i'm new but medic is the most fun class so far, not many play it as far as I can tell and it's nice to help people lol.

Sucks when the squad is silent though.

[dim pulsar]

Quite

[subtle glen]

ayo how many kills is a good amount in HLL

[slim fractal]

100. Any less and you're nothing.

[dim pulsar]

Taking out enemy spawns is more important than kills, dont let him make you sad little monke

[slim fractal]

It's all about kills

[dim pulsar]

[iron anvil]

what is the PTENDA role?

[slim fractal]

#pte-update13

You see the PTE channels.

[iron anvil]

oh

[iron anvil]

Aye, long time no see.

I left a year or two back like a lil-bitch because a bot took away my backer tabs. I got over it (mostly). So I'm back now.

[warm knot]

welcome back, you can get a mod to remove your conscript role so that you can access #mess-hall again

[slim fractal]

Backers are just like that, bunch of elitist whiny pricks

[meager mango]

Is the Panzer IV ever gonna come to the Normandy campaign?
