Same problem in germany all servers ms is like 150+ idk why
It's like i'm two step behind als my enemy
Are you sorting the servers by ping after refreshing?

Hello, all. Brand shiny new here. I picked up the game, when it was free on PS5 the other month and, after stumbling across the HLL subreddit, I've decided to give it ago.
I look forwards to being an utter bullet-sponge near you, soon!
Is there an FAQ or something I should look at first?
HLL guides
I would say just get through a round or two, and then go with questions from there
You'll have quite a few if you're playing somewhat engaged
Would you look at that! I was literally looking for the letters FAQ.
Thank you both

Excellent, thank you. I'm going to go get shot for a spell, I think!
Well. I didn't die and I think I may have even hit someone! I call that a success.
Hey guys, login seems to be broken? I guess I need to register onto the website right?
?
Anyone have any good hell let loose youtuber recommendations
The big boys are @errant swallow and @modern depot! You'll see the occasional video by JackFrags and in the past Karmakut. Plenty of videos posted by community and 'War Correspondents' in #hll-videos#war-correspondent and you could even click on my profile and check out my stuff 😉
Depends what kind of content you're looking for bud!
Alright
Mono and Terry are good for guides and general gameplay for example
Checkout @wheat galleon and @dusky notch as well 🙂 Fresh does a lot of armour stuff, and Gebatron does a bunch of guides as well
and thanks @torn prairie 🙂
Oh and there are a bunch of great streamers aswell (including the two names above) but also folk like @severe tusk and @lean orchid 
Thanks @modern depot ! Lots of good ones to check out @sleek pike !
@torn prairie <3
I'd love to squad up with some brand new players tomorrow on PC when I get off work. Should be on HLL around 7? Anyone down to squad up? Would love to help new players get familiar with the game. Msg me!
^^ fair warning, he may ask for feet pics
It is not easily visible. Is it a microstutter, seemingly being unable to hit players in a crossfire, or sudden instances of frame rate spikes or fan RPM in that overlay failing to be detected?
@brave ruin do you like hairy toes?
Lmao
Do y’all think HLL will ever add the ability to look outside Tank Hatches for Tank Crew? Like Enlisted
Would be cool, and it could give the gunner and driver a better view of the game before getting into battle aside from staring down either crosshairs or a tiny slit at the front of the tank
Or maybe even add mounted guns on the top of the tank for infantry to use, like how some Sherman’s came with a 50. Cal off the back of the turret for people to use
And how most Tigers, Panthers, and Panzers usually came with an MG-34 or 42 mounted on their cupola
no
I wish
Spotter has a periscope, there is no reason to look outside the hatch, and if you solo, thats on you
For cinematic effects
Tank crewmen always sat outside their tanks on the way to the frontlines
Would be cool to just watch all the soldiers and trucks/other tanks drive past you on your way to fight
It would just make the game feel more immersive
The MG idea would be super cool and add some more dynamics to a battlefield
Yes they do
Last time I played uniforms still looked like this
Oh apparently they have been updated
Well thank fuck for that
No chance of going back though, HLL maps are too good
Hello, I am gonna be new to HLL soon, and was interested in becoming a tank crewman, I have a lot of exerpince in war thunder (ik that game is very irrevlent to how tank combat in this game works but it also gives an idea of like weakspots, positioning etc.) I am willing to fill/gt taught any role (except commander) so if ur looking for a tanker just let me know
also ill just join any squad and learn any role that someones needs, rather be led into a role to learn for the long run then be lost trying to learn different roles
Any new PC players looking to play with an experienced unit, dm me!
🥲
Dont bother with any of the stuff you've learned from ground RB in warthunder, its far less complicated in HLL
All you need to do as a tank gunner is remember these simple things.
- Always prioritize the rear engine, then the sides, then the front armour close to the mantle.
- Sherman 76 is the superior tank in the game, regardless of all else.
- The german recon vehicle is simply better than the luchs in terms of anti armour, and more mobile.
Theres a lot of other stuff to learn, but in general the armour mechanics in HLL are far more simple compared to WT
ull be sweet as when it comes to identifying vehicles at least, which is gold when all u hear is 'enemy sherman' over and over again
Im brand new I could use some help
New to the game. Played a couple games. Found my new addiction
Welcome mate
I love playing for 45 minutes just to dc
Is it better to drop an airhead behind enemy lines or in front of them
Absolutely
without a doubt
Indubitably
Not really.
Airheads are easy to counter by seeing them drop. The best place is just behind your breakthrough to the strongpoint to spawnbomb onto it to get the cap going
People really need to communicate with me when I'm doing artys
I had 5 friendly kills.....Not happy about that.
Someone revenged killed me because I was killing friendlies. Not my fault if they are in my way. He said, "Stop fucking teamkilling."
I was gonna say then stop getting in my way to kill our enemies you jackass.
I'm not doing it on purpose or intentionally.
Hello, anyone down to play some? I'm new to the game lel
If you’re shelling an area your friendlies can reach within the 25s travel time then it’s on purpose. Don’t forget the up to 25 metre dispersion on each shell. Are you even placing your own arty marker and announcing where you’re shelling? You have to overcommunicate.
On the other hand as Commander I regret teamkilling some arty the other day on the basis of a rumour they were shelling our team. That ruined my own mood too. Next time there will be a proper trial. But arty should have a very communicate SL not just blueberries.
i cant switch my weapons ?
how so? i unlocked the mg42 long ago
but i keep spawning with the mg34
It's a known bug. If you have selected a different loadout and spawn with the standard one, you are suffering from said bug.
that bug has been around SO long
yeah, unfortunately
It used to be better somewhat better
Wait...what?
i would never change out the mg42 lol
That is something else then though
its selected in my baracks since i unlocked it ...means i should spawn in with it
Oh..I thought you meant, it has also selected the 34 instead of the 42 in the barracks
It might improve a bit with Update 11, haven't had that bug in the PTE
meeeeeeeen :(
I have heard switching to a tank squad and then switching back to infantry helps but I haven't tried that myself
i tried it
I don't have that bug too often
Yeah, super weird that bug over all. Wonder what might be the cause for it. Seems to be quite hard to reproduce.
Hey guys, any idea how to move the tank commander's periscope around? I can't find any bindings and the intuitive inputs WASD QE and mouse don't turn it
you have to zoom in 1 step then use mouse to rotate. you cant rotate it when zoomed out
thanks a lot!
👍

Is the a release date for the Russia content on console?
Anyone know what the worst performing map is? I want to try and benchmark my settings to try and get better mileage out of my settings
all maps run about equally crap for me but there is a point SDM or SME (probably eglise) near german mid spawn where there is a field of wheat and my fps dropped massively in that area, didnt matter where i looked
What's good audio settings for game should my mic be on 50 or can I increase it or will this make the audio clipping

and the Chinese Civil War
Aug 1, 1927 – Dec 7, 1949
The Chinese Civil War was a civil war in China fought between the Kuomintang-led government of the Republic of China and forces of the Chinese Communist Party lasting intermittently between 1927 and 1949. Wikipedia
maybe that one could be in beyond the wire
I didn't know that. There's been miscommunication, and mostly I've been ignored the whole time. I told my SL that I was shelling and told some of the other squad members I was shelling some areas. I was completely ignored and then attacked by a friendly because I killed 5 team members.
I did say I was sorry for killing friendlies.
Killing friendlies with arty, I'm so proud of you
i paid full price i wanted alternative to cod because activision became woke
and i want tp support the devs
Usually people say Stalingrad is the most intensive
weirdly it's very alright for me
Must mean your good to go then lol 😂
there weren't enough automatics in 1927
lol why was my post about getting the vet role deleted? that's not a nice way to say thanks to someone who funded your kickstarter
I've done a search and can't find any way to get the vet role I am entitled to
sorry if pinging you upset you mods, but isn't this literally your job
edit: fixed, thank you jaguar
Hi, how can i get apperance twitch drop items ?
also this
GIMME FREE SHIT PLZ
not really no
if it involves watching twitch I'm out
shit is boring as hell
the last time they did a twitch drop it didn’t come from watching a stream, you got it by subscribing to a streamer
I know i suggested Chinese Civil war should in beyond wire
The Twitch drop stuff in my understanding is currently a misprint and that stuff is locked
Is there any place we can read the changelog for the new update?
Would like to see what bugs were squashed.
They are described in the news updates, you can find them for console and PC in the link below. The Community posts on Steam also contain notes.
How can I rank up my classes quicker?
Supply trucks
make sure to dump supply boxes in the middle of roads and not near any friendly objectives
Do drop them in a few cheeky out of the way places for garrisons though. Even slightly offset from existing garrisons.
So if one gets taken you can easily pop over to the nearby cache and get a new one up. I usually drop my first two on the second objective in Warfare, then after that one for an objective and one for a field cache.
Shhh nobody tell him about the node thing
No worries, arty can be tricky. I recommend doing it as SL unless your own SL is very focussed on it
Right.
I was being sarcastic lmao

Hey new recruits! I put together a video to help you increase your combat effectiveness. It covers things like communication, spotting the enemy, cover & concealment, etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avAgWeT3BFM Hopefully it helps some people out! See you on the frontline, hopefully!
Nice video Soul!
Thanks @torn prairie I appreciate it 👍
if anyone needs further help pls dont hesistant to ask. its what we're all here for
if u have a newer card put that dx12 launch command. but if its older than a 10 series nvidia gpu take it off
most maps i get 144 frames solid, with it dropping to maybe.... 110-130 if shits getting crazy, but on the newer maps its a bit over 100 at all times(stalingrad, kursk), i dismiss that to theyre not as optimized tho. im sure in time they will tho so im not complaining
Hello!
Welcome to HELL LET LOOSE discord if you need any help please ask.

Welcome to HELL LET LOOSE discord.
hello😁 is swearing aloud on the discord?
fuck yeah it is
Please read #readme-rules here
I did, but I didnt see anything about not swearing
Within reason so long as it doesn’t break the rules and become Toxic / Obnoxious / or personal.
Welcome mate!
Hello 👋
Is there by any chance a specific time for when the updates will be coming out on the 7th?
Yes
Most of this is good, although the -dx12 command doesn't really yield any noticeable improvements anymore in exchange for more stuttering.
DX12 and Unreal Engine just do not vibe for some reason
Haven't been able to find anything regarding the times online; if you'd be able to show any links though, it'd be enormously appreciated!
Official release of D.L.C. normally starts 11.00 hours G.M.T. / U.K.
oh I dunno what the time will be, but it will definitely come out at a specific time

Hugely appreciated!!!
but yeh, the last few updates have come out about the same time the PTEs start
Hoping some of the new planned cosmetics come out with the update too; hyped beyond belief for some of the ones that've been showcased. 👀
Absolutely ready to throw some money down for some of them, for sure.
I imagine everything in the PTE will come with launch
No reason to put them in otherwise
Imagine it’ll launch with that Red Steel DLC too
Yeah, I saw there were a fair few DLC's referenced for a bunch of different cosmetics that'll be purchasable.
The game never actually targets it. It is just the Stock UE4 DX12 pipeline being used as an attempt to improve FPS by leveraging its general overhead reductions.
alright
only cross platform with the other console
it's not on EGS
Ah yes
My HLL achievements for my EG account
Ghengis khan goes right under my fortnite achievements
default dance over the corpses of 100 enemies
Floss on the commander I just gibbed with arty
When’s the Tornado 🌪 update coming?
Sometime after the Eastern Front/wingsuit update
Who can see the effects of friendly recon plane on the map?
Everyone or just certain roles?
Commander and Squad leaders.
Also support
And crewmen and sniper
Not true. It boosts fps a lot, but will introduce stuttering and game will be crash prone . Sadly. But fps can get a massive boost
that was my experience. went from a 90 average fps to 115ish, but introduced microstutters
tbh i'm happy with 90fps. honestly a little surprised my 3080 can churn out 90fps in 4k
I find dx12 horrible in a number of games so prefer not to use it
3080ti gets about 110-120 FPS peak, and solid 90+, to an Odyssey G9 so it’s really v useable
g9 is 2k, innit?
I play Assetto Corsa Competizione in VR with my 6900XT
Also a UE4 based game
90 fps in 3164 x 3092 pr eye
Reverb G2
Not quite 4K, it’s 109ppi, 5120x1440
I get 3000fps on my 1980’s black and white CRT screen 📺😃 with a gtx 1080
Not hard pushing out 4 pixels per frame 😂
Can someone explain the roles to me?
Like:
what’s a War Arranger?
Do ranks correlate to HLL career rank?
What does it mean to have the enlisted, conscript roles?
What’s is PTENDA?
Ranks: you were a Kickstarter backer. Often have a thousand yard stare. Be kind.
PTENDA: you play/test the alphas (public test environments) on PC, and signed a non-disclosure agreement. And sometimes even provide feedback.
Enlisted, conscript: you are newish. One day a mod will decide that you are ready to graduate from these tags, or not.
War arranger: I don’t know precisely but I assume they organise events. See #legacy-event-announcements.
Would anyone else find it useful if you could adjust the volume of Local, Squad, and Command VOIP separately?
war arrangers organize competitive matches, events, or are server owners/admins
Or Squad chat in your left ear and Command chat in your right?? Both can be adjusted.🤔
yo they need free weekend with this new update pls..
Do they though
Free weekends in HLL are awful
bruh real talk
That’s what I said. The increased framerate isn’t worth the much more noticeable microstuttering; feels horrible to play.
I tested the dx12 today and had few microstutters ryzen 7 3800x 3070ti, 980 Pro ssd.. Just had a few dx crashes
Theres never a better time to play than free weekend
I've never had so many armor kills as I did last one
Why don't you just use admin cams
Its like a comedy skit
I once watched a 3 man armor group of all below lvl 5 run a puma off the edge of the cliffs on Omaha at full speed and land upside down
haha
Free weekend, where I get TK'd like 30 times a match and can't do it back
But I do anyway 
My favorite is shooting them once so they're wounded, but not making it obvious that a teammate did it, so they're none the wiser
Real TTT strats
guys is the game worth it
im deciding if i should buy it or not
nvm looking at this trailer im buying it
If you're on Steam, you got two hours to try it and then refund it if you don't like it
You'll probs like it, though, I think you'll get your money back from playtime by itself

Yo can I play with xbox players on PC???
Afraid crossplay isnt possible at this moment of time my dude!
🙁
Want to play with some newer PC players tomorrow for the update. Who's down to play?
ooo what time tomorrow? just got the game today
😂
Lower the master volume and others.🤔
Did you spawn into a bombing run yet? Those are fun
It was scarily loud when I first played 😂
🍉
hey guys newbie here lol just got the game a couple days ago and loving it so far
Best WW2 game Ever!!😎
is there any indication that PC <> console crossplay will be available in the future?
It would be bad news for console players tbh given how much better a pc player can be with mouse aiming etc
For console, there’s aim assistance, because aiming with a controller is considerably slower and more restricted. That alone would be an issue, how does one balance that between consoles and pc? I’m both on console (XSX) and pc, but hope they’ll never implement cross platform between console and pc, and if they do - I hope that will be a server setting.
if they do i have they give us an option to turn cross play off
Add to that updates, bugs on the different platforms etc, etc, etc
And splitting the console playerbase across two types of lobby. It’s usually healthy enough but can get quiet out of hours.
Yeah, under no circumstances would I ever want to play on a server that did cross play with consoles.
Why does the game zap me for turning off motion blur?
Zap you how?
The screen flashes white and it goes bzzzp
It happens whenever I turn off motion blur
That’s the effect when you apply new settings
Why is it blue?
Unreal Engine bro
To indicate success?
Good answers
We dont know at this point im afraid as the game is still being ported over by another company to console but I believe its very unlikely
About that… does Flix’s addition to the PC splash screens mean they’re now working on that version too, or is it just an honorary addition?
It will come and you know when it's up.

Also, I play on PC to avoid playing with kids.😏
I’ve only ever encountered one squeaker even though I have over 600hrs into the game! I spoke to him through local chat, he immediately suggested that I sounded like a Nonce! So I shot him and told him to go play Fortnite!!😒
Never allow cross play with console and PC please 🙏
exactly what it sounds like
a version of the game for public testing of updates before they release
And I can uninstall it without any consequences?
Ok thanks

Damn, the new red steel DLC is purely a uniform, no extra helmet or anything.
Are the new achievements active with this update? And any news about the foy winter helmets coming back? Cheers.
yeah
Alright, boys, I'll see you in game. Let's get this content™️
the updated sucked off my last remaining gb got a warning from windows gotta delete some anime I guess
steam doesn't let you download if you won't have the space?
it does
Download size and installed size are different, since it uses compression.
So it might allow the download but fail on installation.
Hello, I am new to HLL and am looking for a group of people to play with on PC. I'm on the east coast of the US
Who’s down to play today
hello
No thanks.
Play with me baby
but yet no winter warfare
is the update out on xbox and playstation yet?
lol why do people keep asking that
is it?
i havent gotten a chance to play since last night
when will it?
2022
k
Kkkkkkkkk
New update seems great unsure of the trench gun aka bb gun tho.. Had a few shots today with it
have devs addressed stability issues with latest patch?
will these new dlc's be time limited?
Hi, I'm new to HLL and I'd like to find a community to play with on PC, I'm on the American West Coast
Oh my god whats up with those menu character animations lol
Machine gunner looks quite silly
Machine guns are heavy, you gotta put your back in to it if you wanna fling it around like that
Seems weird still
But realistic in reality
Is it me or is there invisible props in carentan
Any newer players want to squad up?
🙂
Yeah
they are cringe af and gave me terminal disease
mgs are around 12-15 kilos, the slowness of the animation makes it look like they are at least 30 😄
Sometimes they don't render in(because of distance) it makes it a little hard as a tank crew sometimes ^^
Ig so but a lot of assets werent loaded in i kept wondering why the person wasnt dying til i realized a whole wall segment was invisible
fences, small walls etc. are notoriusly known for being unrendered aka invisible
Ah so it isnt a new bug then?
nope ^^
always have been
Is there no Max FPS setting? Is the game locked to 60 or just the menu?
just menu
Is "cringe" the new-fangled word for "lame"?
sounds like it's trying to convey the same meaning as "lame"
because the new menu animations are indeed lame.
Cringe is an intentional shortening of Cringe-Inducing.
the character is overexaggerating half the movements while keeping a straight emotionless face the entire time
yikes
do you get class xp when building with the hammer only when the structure is built or do you get class xp as soon as you start building it
It is intended to be a stronger, more actively appalling phrase than the weaker, passive lame.
Heads up for people the free winter warfare dlc is currently avaliable on steam
Splendid.
So I downloaded the Summer Warfare DLC during the summer and I don't have access to the uniform for some reason, anyone else have that issue?
You need to get Lvl 6 with a class iirc
Lvl 7 but yeah
Yeah, it's free, hope you like grinding to use it tho 
be prepared to die a lot
you can use the bearing marks (numbers) at the bottom of your screen to call out the general direction of enemies
you can also use middle mouse to put a ping but no-one outside of your squad can see it
learn how bearings work before you call out with them, better yet just dont at all!
Sprichst du Deutsch?
I just wanna level up my classes but they go so slowly
We need “Stuka Dive Bombers” update PLEASE 🙏😃
Build nodes as engineer, switch into the class you want to level. Easy XP
I see...

@glad pasture hello - where do we submit bug reports?
#pc-feedback obviously
They don't have access to that channel, obviously
You should be able to access #pc-feedback now
Agree it needs to be updated for Update 11 ‘Outflank’ I will submit a request to the Dev team
For your Information: Any members who wish to report any NEW Bugs or Glitches they have found since Update 11 -Outflank the #bug-reporting page has been updated.
Hello, i didnt found a channel for questions so i just gonna ask here,
Does someone know if there will be communitiy servers for console?
We currently have NO information from the development team on community servers for consoles
oh okay, still thanks for the answer
New updates a Beassst!! Well done to the Devs!🤘🏻😎
Do you actually legitimately like the new update?
If new players are considering getting this game or getting a friend to, I'd highly advise against it at the moment.
There might be a patch to fix a huge portion of the gameplay atm, but U11 is very likely the worst update HLL has recieved so far.
It really is a shame too because it could have been really great.
Every patch is always claimed to be the worst patch
Exactly this 👆🏻
My game’s running better than ever and all the new stuff is a positive implementation to the game.
Really? In here?
same thing everyone says every update in this server, talking to people in game everyone always seems pretty happy with it
Considering most new players dont get access to #pc-feedback when they join, yeah I'll be honest
Let's break it down since I feel like most are unaware.
FG42 was implemented as a reskin of a gun instead of a new gun, it received no bipod and the scoped variant has a carbon copy of the kar98k scope with reduced zoom
Shotgun was implemented with janky mechanics and has wishy washy damage, sometimes 2 or 3 shotting at close range and sometimes insta killing above 60 meters.
Vehicle movement, especially wheeled vehicles like trucks has severe decreased in quality, and trucks will more than ever become stuck in the world or map, while tires and engines will go crazy even if you arent moving.
They removed the panther entirely for this update to add the panzer 4, which currently is just as badly implemented as the panther was if not worse. Its armor values are broken, its damage is mediocre, its speed is extremely low compared to both real life and tanks of previous updates and it's just trading a broken feature for a new broken feature.
All scout cars have been severe nerfed to the point where it would now take 8 to 10 shots to kill a heavy from behind
no problem with that
sounds like server issues to me, havent experienced that at all
ATs are currently the worse part of the update by far and as of now have made armor virtually unusable
trucks getting stuck sucks, but huge maps, been getting steadily better through the updates
removed temporarily to fix bugs
Bugs like the class switch bug and the grenade bug are even more prevalent
totally disagree
They didnt remove or fix bugs though
had some great tank games last night
Shh, don't disturb the angry man in his ranting, you'll upset him even more
i like to poke a troll every so often
I'm not fucking trolling
you know get the blood flowing ect XD
This is infuriating
I attempted to play all of the PTEs. Considering they ran what 5 of them?
Look in PC feedback
Or watch the videos
Haha I'm no better, I did the same thing yesterday when someone suggested that "everyone" would now be spamming AT guns. You know, placing 5-6 of them down in 30 seconds and annihilating tanks. Because it's been a frequent occurrence that there are 5-6 AT guns simultaneously on a server
It would be fine if they just had good penetration and moderate damage
your not basing this off the pte servers are you? their famously poor, doesnt reflect the quality of the update at all. trench gun felt like trash until you try it with a half stable connection
I'm basing this off the update that released
The PTE servers and the main branch seem to have almost no noticeable difference
yeah people just love having things to complain about
Actually likely a decrease in quality considering they removed many features
Are you kidding me?
The only thing about this update that was a genuine improvement was the sounds
I’m over 600hrs into the game and every update just makes the game better for me.😊
Half tracks were added without removing red garrisons so now the spawn system is horrid
over 1000, right there with you mate ❤️
What do you enjoy about the update
What in U11 has been a good addition
Spare for sounds
Which actually are way better I'll admit that
Sounds
trench gun is great fun, new sniper is fun, carentan offensive is fun, sound design is fun, half track adds interesting meta, new uniforms are cool
new tank to play with
The new tank is overwhelmingly worse than the removed tank
Tanks are currently a trainwreck
I don’t know if this is new but, I can now make the map icons a lot bigger now which helps me a lot
oh and new tank economy, love that
Ah yes, 600 fuel for a heavy tank that can do legitimately nothing
Spawn heavy
Drive for 10 minutes to front
sounds like someone isnt a very good tanker XD
then die to an AT gun in 4 seconds that costs 50 supplies
^^^
"Not a good tanker"
It takes 4 seconds for an at gun to kill a heavy
From any angle
Maybe you should be coordinating with the infantry on your team so they can find the AT guns before you just roll up with a tank?
The whole game still confuses me tbh🤣… I’m just a runner and gunner.😊
dont be silly im in a tank, i should be able to W key to victory 🤣
And quickly removed and deployed again for no penalty
that explains a lot tbh
Yeah fr
Battlefield Let Loose, wohooo
How so?
As someone who's lvl 9 and 8 on my tank classes, and 10 for sl, 10 for engineer, 6 for at, and 7 7 for recons
this update is an overwhelming decrease in quality
It's not possible to coordinate with infantry to find AT guns when you can build an AT gun in mere seconds, for 50 supplies, we were doing it yesterday, you just build it pre-aimed at the tank and hop on and shoot it.
^^
I have the highscore on Solitaire on my PC
The infantry could have been there 30 seconds ago, no AT gun, now there's an AT gun.
Yeah
not since your wife told me the password 😉
I knew she didn't set that on her own!
Not to mention that halftracks were added with the addition of red garrisons
So now you can build garrisons in enemy territory and use halftracks
Its horrible
you're confused by the game because you're a "run and gunner"
HE and explosives dont damage infantry in halftracks so I watched an M3 take an HE directly and have literally no death, it just sparked and drove off
The bipods for the fg42 were removed despite the bipod being the only logical reason for adding such an uncommon gun
The class switch bug is now so common that everyone I have played with so far has atleast gotten it once per game since U11 dropped
Also seemingly killing an AT gun doesn't kill the crew, so if your AT guy and support guy are the ones manning the gun and it gets killed but they aren't killed, they can just put down another one immediately.
Even if you kill the AT gun, they just put up another one
Yeah, it's essentially free, one every 5 minutes without any extra work (manpower node or role swap) with role swapping you can get multiple guns up in less than 5 minutes and have 6 per squad.
theres no penalty for losing it, and it's such an easy build now you can use a supply truck to stack infinite at guns
They will run out of fuel before you run out of at guns
Don't even need the truck, that's a bigger noisier way to do it, role swap is better.
And it's not even close
Yeah, this is disgusting that all of this made it to public branch
They are better than a tank for anti-tank operations with sight lines and spawns.
Especially considering 90% of these issues were openly reported and discussed during PTEs
Because now instead of a 10 minute drive or whatever, you go build it where it's needed if there are spawns nearby.
Obviously it's less survivable and less good at killing infantry and has a munitions cost, but you build it and kill the tank and you can move on with your life.
I know the basics… put down a few garries and op’s attack and defend… all the points system for resources and stuff isn’t necessary for me to learn because I’m too busy killing people on it, successfully 😊 I’m an excellent squad leader when others aren’t drowning out the voip channels
every update, every little tweak there are hoards of people yelling about how you can abuse this or that, personally I dont think ive ever seen more than 2 AT guns on the map in a pub match. I play a lot, havent seen them being abused yet
My squad had 3 AT guns up at windmills yesterday, and it was kind of the worst case scenario for it because the Soviet point was Panzers End which meant there was always going to be infantry within 200 or so meters, and we were stacking tanks left and right.
There was an empty tank in all of our spawn points and armor squads would only take recon
you guys know if you build repair stations next to a heavy tank in the last updates it was literally impossible to lose a tank battle? but somehow didnt see that every game either
Because that's incorrect
We were taking full advantage of building an AT gun to kill a specific tank on top of the general build an AT gun to cover an area.
thats just kursk, any tanks lining that hill is OP as fuck
It's certainly better on Kursk, but it works anywhere you can get LOS on a tank and have a spawn point.
So no, its every map eith floor
which is all you need to win literally any tank battle? heavy tank kills anything in 2
Or the AT/support guy can walk to.
Now an AT kills anything in 2
i know, you have said multiple times XD
And you've ignored every time
how
It will work well on Foy, on PHL, on SME, on anything where you can get to a point and see a tank out to 1K meters (or beyond with someone pinging), you put the gun down where previously there was no gun before, and you can kill the tank before the tank can do anything about it, the tank can't possibly be rotating 360* at all times to shoot any group of 2 infantry it sees anywhere.
i have no problem with them killing in 2
How do you not see the issue
because a stationary gun isnt a problem, you just kill it?
It’s like anything in life… I just adjust to the changes and enjoy it a different way.😊
You dont enjoy it if you're not a run and gun
just talking from experience, havent had any issues with AT guns so far this update
Armor is unusable in it's current state
It doesn't matter that it's stationary because you specifically build it in an area where you can see the tank that is already there and they have an extremely limited window to kill you, it also has unlimited ammo (with munitions availavble) so if you're rolling with a support player nearby and drop the gun, that's better than the bazooka.
Your experience is irrelevant
one could say the same to you my friend XD
and then it doesn't matter that it's stationary, you move on with your life and can build it somewhere else in 5 minutes (or less with redeploy swaps)
Because the overwhelming majority if people who armor or play AT agree
Why is his experience irrelevant but yours isn't?
It was a figure of speech 🎤… I’m an excellent team and squad player
Ignore my experience and just look at the public feedback
the vast majority of people who like to bitch on discord maybe 🤣
look at mine, specifically ❤️
I've never seen feedback with such a high vote
50 supplies + reload speed + infantry ability to transport themselves across the map with spawn points.
To date I have seen four people in here crying about this issue. If that's the overwhelming majority of people who play armor/AT then I don't think this issue affects enough of the playerbase for it to be given priority.
They all come over from Reddit 🤣
The vast majority of those people are players who play and give to this game a lot more than you
I've already seen one feedback post complaining that the AT gun is still too weak, which is bonkers.
hello, i've bitched about the AT guns. would you like my credentials? my resume is vast and very impressive with many bullet points and a stylized font.
funny, most I know who play have different opinions
Every feedback post in there is above 10 upvotes
Theres now upwards of 50 on some of them
That's not just fucking reddit syndrome
Wow, 50?
Theres never been more than 80
Not that I've ever seen
And yes, that is huge number considering this game has a total playerbase of like 5k people and atleast 3k of that doesnt actively participate in the discussion for it
I played for 5 hours before and no one complained, everyone liked the new update
And I played for 2 and everyone I played with had major complaints
There are 5500 people in game currently on Steam, so the playerbase must be considerably larger than 5K.
"my anecdote is better than your anecdote!"
Yeah fr
you should see the chatlog from my server yesterday evening
^^
nonstop bitching about the update
I'm kind of convinced the only people who don't think U11 AT guns in their current state aren't a problem are people who don't play with any friends so they don't have people willing to work together with them towards a common goal.
on both teams
Because it is incredibly easy to plop a gun down and kill something immediately.
I'm convinced the only people who like this update only like it because they expect this game to be battlefield 2042 quality
Classic Social Media
It is of course a lot harder to do that by yourself.
you have a couple screws loose if you think making the AT guns kill heavy tanks with 2 shots in 4 seconds is a positive change
You can kill a heavy tank before it can even reload.
i'd say my example carries more weight than yours, if we're playing the my story vs your story game
"Just shoot anything and everything around you at all times always ever and never miss any shot or you just die."
Yeah
see now your getting it
oh wait, I'm in a medium Sherman that takes like 30 seconds to turn 180* and they built it behind me.
go read #pc-feedback message so i don't have to explain everything all over again
The tank can move though? Like, if it takes two shots to kill the tank aren't you being not a great tanker if you just hang around for the second shot?
I was just stating that it’s typical of Social Media… you crank!!🤣
"just use clairvoyance to know where the AT gun is before it kills you lol"
i went a little out of character and gave a fuck about a feedback post for once
"Just ignore all the bugs and issues, you're stuck up and expecting to much out of a game that promises things it doesnt deliver on and still expects everyone to buy 5$ cosmetic dlcs"
can't read it, they're conscripts
If you and your team let the enemy build an AT gun behind the tank then how fast the AT gun kills you isn't your biggest problem 😂
oh lmao
You can do it from >1K meters.
AT guns can kill heavy tanks with 2 shots from any distance and from any angle
you know the AT guns penetrate the f-r-o-n-t now right
The comment I replied to specifically mentioned behind though, so that's what I was replying to.
Infantry doesn't render past 500 meters, you can't even see the infantry building the AT gun if they are far enough away, now a small hard to see object just pops into existence and starts shooting.
It's not a back hull shot issue, it's the being able to kill the gun issue, you can't turn a medium Sherman around in time to do anything.
And your comment is irrelevant because you seem unaware of the reality of the updates situation
I like to sneak up onto tanks and blow them up with a satchel charge!… so satisfying😎
Dont even need to
The gun also doesn't run out of ammo, bazookas/shreks at least have limited shots and then have to redeploy or re-arm to try again, the gun keeps shooting until the team is out of munitions.
The satchel class is now after the gun kit
So anyone with lvl 3 at can do this
And its horrid
I reiterate my point that if your tank is in a position where the enemy can build an AT gun behind it unimpeded, you've got bigger problems. You say they build it 1000 meters out, why is your tank in a position where 1000 meters behind it isn't controlled by friendly forces?
I no longer see tanks anything more than recon
You can build it aaaaaaanywhere (up to 2 sectors deep in enemy territory).
Anywhere that you have LOS, it is not possible to cover every possible angle at all times at all distances from your tank.
You are dumb
My mom says I'm special
reading comprehension
I love how the human artillery machine is back too, with Assault class Grenade Machine dude!😊
It doesn't seem to be a requirement in here from what I can tell, no.
A lot of maps have incredibly long sight lines in some spots.
Complain about being trolled
Look if Bubbles and I agree about anything you know something is wrong.
"the trolls are hitting me from all angles, wheel torque"
Yeah
This isn't even bringing up two squads (can do it with 6 people, 2 3 man squads) working together, this is how good it is with a single 2 people.
Legitimately all of the people who normally squal have now unionized
That's a very bad sign
its a legit enough issue that i took time out of my morning and wrote a fucking thesis on it when all i really ever do here is shitpost
We got on to play because we were excited last night, and it was so unenjoyable that we got off halfway through our 3rd round to chop trees in valheim
That's the state of things now
I repeat: you have a couple screws loose if you think making the AT guns kill heavy tanks with 2 shots in 4 seconds from any side is a positive change
I like how the shotgun blows people up into bits like playing Doom Eternal 😊
I repeat, enigma is speaking facts
Man atleast doom eternal doesnt have a class switch bug
I cant even switch to the shotgun because it apparently just randomized your load out now for fun
And I think I wouldnt even be as mad as I am
6 grenades… 3 smokes… happy days!😊
I'd all if these issues werent already reported during pte
All of them
The only issue so far that's new and not PTE related is the class switch bug
AT guns are just a mismatch between the cost and effort (50 supplies, 2 people, spawn at spawn point) and what they can kill and their cost (3 people, 600 fuel, cool down and drive time)
Everything else was already noted constantly
someone call in a welfare check on max, he's definitely eating paint chips
I can't believe this bug has existed for multiple updates and hasn't been squashed yet
It's gotten worse
AT guns doing their jobs and killing tanks is a good thing. But we need counters for AT that has an angle on tanks. This is why we need mortars so they can be called in on AT. Also, infantry can flank AT and take it out. Or tank can try to take it out as well. AT are glass cannons.
he ordered some bootleg sterling silver rings that were actually made out of lead
I've now seen the bug reported almost every day by different people each time
The problem is that the gun has already done it's job and it's essentially free so killing it isn't meaningful.
wat
I get a new box of supplies every 5 minutes, if you role swap you can always be building them.
so you think the solution to super overpowered AT guns is to add mortars?
My only problem is the big massive and annoying box in the bottom right corner of the map gets in the way of things sometimes 😏
They die easily sure but you really gonna tell me that 4 seconds is enough to react to an at gun put up in a few seconds?
There should be counters to everything. And mortars should be in the game anyway.
You don't even need mortars if someone sees the AT gun and marks it you can arty it, the problem is the window between people being able to build the tank, and 5 seconds later the tank they built it to fight is dead.
I honestly dont want any new additions after this update
good luck trying to react fast enough to an AT gun that can kill you in 4 seconds
I just want them to fix this
Because they've shown they are incapable of adding things that aren't broken as soon as they reach public
I don't understand what you're complaining about. AT guns are static and can't move easily. Their role is ANTI-TANK.
Have infantry flank it
Jack
bruh
You build them in position to kill the tank that is already there.
You can place an AT gun on the fly
It does not matter that they are static.
We should take tanks out of the game because they can blow up infantry.
We've basically already taken them out
Remove everything from the game
You then move on with your life after you kill the tank, in 5 minutes you can build another gun on demand without role swapping or hitting a manpower node.
Nobody is asking it to be removed you human raddish
I agree that there needs to be resource limitations
We need heat seeking, Hell Fire Missiles!!!
if you don't see the extremely obvious problem then there's no point in continuing this conversation
By the time that crew drives up from spawn again your box is off cooldown again.
if you lose an AT, it should cost a lot to replace it
But it does not
You reasonably speaking can now have a defense against armor that is impossible to breach
1 supply drop is 2 at guns, 1 supply truck is 6
You can even pre-place the blueprint and have supplies down and have the gun pre-aimed but just not build it until the tank rolls up, they can't see the blue print.
it's not impossible to breach though. Infantry can take it out.
okay, I understand getting them built may be spammy
but they are not hard to take out
Because they can out the at gun up instantly
a 600 fuel heavy tank that takes minutes to get to the frontline can be deleted in 4 seconds by an AT gun that can be built instantly, and you think this is fine?
It doesn't matter
Killing the gun after the tank is dead is pretty irrelevant.
^^
umm. yes
The window to kill the AT gun is too narrow to do anything.
that's the role of AT
It takes 4 seconds to remove a heavy tank that costs 600 fuel and 3 players
that's why we need battlefield intel to call out ATs
and tanks need to be wary of them
it. can. be. built. instantly.
AT cannons are ambush counters to tanks
ambush?
so tanks don't just rush into an ambush
Tanks dont run anywhere
if there is a pass protected by AT, tanks need to call in other means of support to counter
you know AT guns can literally win a face-to-face matchup with a heavy tank now right
You build the gun in the right spot in the right scenario and immediately kill the tank, there is no such thing as battlefield intel, the spotter can be looking right at the spot the gun zaps into existence at and then the turret needs to rotate, if you're in a Tiger and your gun just started the reload you're dead.
mortars, infantry, air strike, etc.
that isnt an "ambush"
You are dumb jack
“Release the Wunderwaffen”
U10 AT guns were "ambush" guns
ok, then that's not right. They should be about equal. Depending on the cannon size, etc.
We built an AT gun in the face of a T-34 yesterday and got one shot on it, only reason we didn't kill it is because the loader hopped off right before the loader finished to shoot at the infantry that was directly in front of our gun.
Now youre getting it
dude please know what you're talking about before engaging
jesus
Yeah fr
If you are arguing about their damage stats being OP, then that's another issue.
AT guns can 2-hit both medium and heavy tanks with the same number of shots
It could not have been a better scenario for that T-34, we had no cover, we were in the open, he was pointed right at us, we just built the gun and started firing, when we died it was irrelevant because we built another one further back and killed it I think. We used so many AT guns yesterday I might be mixing it up.
AT guns have no cooldown, around a 3 to 4 second reload, 50 cost for supplies, can be hot built nearly instantly, and can 2 shot any tank in the game
whereas before, AT guns couldn't kill heavy tanks from the front and had to aim their shots at weakpoints to kill a medium from the front
That is the issue
its a huge, terrible change
You don't need to watch for ambushes because they can be built anywhere almost instantly
It was better before. I hadn't played tanks/AT since the latest update.
I remember people complaining about AT being underpowered
and now they made it OP
It's not like before
Help I haven't done this or experienced it but I have really strong opinions on it and I'm going to argue about it.
then why are you arguing against people complaining about the U11 meta?
its like that conversation between walter and donnie in the movie theatre in the big lebowski
I had a game last night where me and my friend made a 2 man locked infantry and he just played support and I played at
I thought people were complaining about AT being able to kill tanks in general. It should depend on the cannon size, round and the tank's armor values.
You grab a supply truck and just deploy an at gun at the game start
But two-shotting heavy tanks is OP
You kill the first medium as soon as it comes into sight
And then that's it, you never see another tank spare for recon
welcome to the group, nice to have you
Tanks just pile up in spawns now
I haven’t seen this much commotion since JackFrags gave Battlefield 2042 a 9/10 rating!😲
ngl i have a blast playing 2042 but i only fly the nightbird
The only reasonable tank is recon and that's only for taking out other trucks and halftracks well
shittin on infantry all day errday
This update is just depressing because it was features that everyone seemed to like in theory that were bastardized beyond any semblance of enjoyable implementation
fortunately for blackmatter, i've solved the issue for them, free of charge
light tanks are viable too
medium tanks are debatable
man i watched so many pz4's get shit on yesterday
I think AT guns got a buff because random players in a public server can't work together at all so it was rare to see effective U10 AT gun usage short of pre-made squads, but now even a solo guy in the right spot can build the gun and load it himself and shoot heavies and it doesn't matter if the heavy rotates.
I guess so
fuel is much better spent on halftracks now
my second game yesterday i was able to fulfill a dream
park a halftrack inside an active strongpoint and have the entire team teleport onto it
I want to see the dead cow’s gone from Foy! They make me sad when I pass them in the field.😔
thank you no disable radius 
today i will attempt to build barricades around a halftrack and have a megafob garrison
It's 15 meter disable yeah?
I thought there was none
i think its 10
I've seen the half tracks locked.
same as bluezone garrisons
Place one in the strong point for the next point on offensive and it's a garrison that recon can't destroy, best they can do is lock it until they're killed, downside is the enemy team has pre-positioned half tracks in enemy territory and are immediately disgorging people once that point is capped.
yup. easier than calling in a supply drop, and i'm curious if the spawn timer starts if you shut the engine off in a locked sector
hopefully new players get the message and don't drive off halftracks as their personal transport
im gonna try to get the commander to drop supplies into the interior of the halftrack and drive off with it
Imagine if 2 squads dropped supplies along with the Commander and a supply truck, you could basically build a fortress and then park a half track in it
if they'd loosen the restrictions on emplacements i could build some interesting shit
No doubt 🤣
Pre positioned AT guns is the wrong way to use AT guns I think unless you have a choke point to aim at, lets people spot it, much more effective to hold the blueprint/supplies and then put it down when the tank shows up and have it mostly pre-aimed.
That's a pretty terrible way to make something viable. The point of this game is teamwork and coordination. Making it casual and brain-free just shows that this game is on its way to casualization.
? That does take teamwork because the AT and support guy have to be next to each other.
It's just more effective because the AT gun turns slowly enough that you're better off not building it until you need it and pointing it right at the tank so little or no aiming is required. Also prevents the enemy team from knowing that there is a gun in the area.
Exactly. You build it so fast it doesn't make sense to pre position it
I can rotate a blue print in I don't know, a couple of seconds? The gun itself turns at 1*/second with just the loader turning (you can only temporarily boost the speed with the gunner because the traverse will max out), so if you need to turn it around it is literally a 3 minute turn, it's faster to disassemble a gun and rebuild it than it is to go 360 degrees.
yup
Then 2 shot that heavy tank and move on 🙂 Or 1 shot the light tank. Easy peasy
I wish a future update added the ability to hear enemy local chatter that would be “fun” i suppose
It would be fun if everyone stayed but there is a strong counterargument that we would all just move to Discord chat for a tactical advantage
If I'm in a tank I'm already on discord to ensure that I can hear the crew over command/proximity chat.
Almost all of the time hearing the crew is more important than hearing someone having casual chats with their buddies, or even worse screaming at their own tank crew on command chat, so I dial down in game voice chat with the wheel on my headset and turn the game up as necessary for the one time every other game that someone drops some important knowledge.
I haven’t looked into alternative chat methods on console so maybe it would work better for us. PS how do you know they’re dropping important knowledge if it’s turned down lol
Reminds me of a strongly upvoted plea for dead flat horses. U12 maybe.
Well I can normally hear command chat, it just isn't at an overpowering level.
Sorry, deflated. Not flat/dead #pc-feedback message
Also we have to use discord because sometimes vivox bombs out and you can't tank without the ability to talk to the squad.
Haha the one exclusive feature we do have on console and which I will protect until death
True, pretty broken right now
But frequently people are just talking about dumb/irrelevant nonsense on command chat and I don't need that blocking my ability to hear how far to rotate the tank or whatever.
“I see a German”
I hate that I'll never get to experience being in a recon squad unless I join a dead server
When the map changes you should have time to nab a recon slot, surely?
never made it in before 2 guys have started and locked recon squads after map swap

Yo, will Helle let loose be free to try it out this weekend ?
No, but it's on sale for 25% off
Hell Let Loose only has 1-2 free weekends per year. We already had two earlier this year.
Watch some videos and some streams maybe if you're reluctant to buy it, https://old.reddit.com/r/HellLetLoose/comments/q23r8m/hll_new_player_guide_pc_console/ is mandatory reading for a new player to help you get up and going
The game is better with friends but there are different communities out there you can hop into on PC.
@sweet cliff I appreciate the helpfulness in this channel! Please keep the discord link sharing to DMs or appropriate channels in the Discord. Thanks!
Oh, sorry what's the more appropriate channel in here?
The only thing I can think of would be the #pc-divisions-recruitment, which is already handled by NPA's @stray harbor
DMs would probably be best lol
@dawn widget NPA is a welcoming community for new HLL players, it's not hard to find their discord if you are interested.
Helps keep the clutter down
For sure, not hurting my feelings at all.
Thanks for helping players connect to an HLL Community!
you playin rn?
@autumn rose just played a few games as AT focused on shutting down armor with AT guns, I’m man enough to admit when I’m wrong, they are OP. It’s pretty much instant killing a heavy tank if you know where to look/have the gun pointed
Someone in the chat mentioned something along the lines of upgrading AT guns, I recognise that would be a lot of work for the devs (different models for different guns) but it would be more balanced than having one supply box being able to kill multiple tanks
yeah but on my own which isn't exactly fun..
check dms
yeah but upgrading AT guns is another annoying "press F"-type mechanic that I want to have no part in
like Ninjapulver said in feedback, the main problem is easy tank repairs. damaging a tank is nearly meaningless compared to outright destroying him, so everything that kills a tank is OP and everything that doesnt is underpowered
the tank crew repair torch is a perversion that shouldnt exist
Tanks require constant pressure to prevent repairs, this can be done quite easily if you are trying to kill a tank with more than one person (solo people killing tanks is dumb) and can also be done anywhere within artillery range with a little bit of teamwork.
Tanks would be nigh useless without the repair torch and would need to see some considerable buffs if the crewman torch was removed if we still wanted to see armor in the game being used at all.
yeah so buff the armor
to be faster
everybody would have more fun
im sure faster, more maneuverable armor is the armor player's dream
In my admittedly biased opinion, if you could not repair your own tank it would still be ridiculous even if tanks were very fast because it is so easy to damage the tracks and then it would be a sitting duck.
at the same time he shouldnt be some sort of indestructible battlefield helicopter that flies behind a building and comes back fully repaired
yeah : D
Just like infantry shouldn't get a bandage slapped on their chest and they're up and sprinting right away.
and if a tank kills you, you can't spawn on that same spawn point for 5 minutes so that killing infantry would be actually meaningful.
I understand what you are saying, but tanks need to have some sustain to them because of the difference in spawning mechanics/travel time for armor vs. infantry.
It has to be way more powerful because when it dies it costs actual resources, manpower is drained when infantry dies but you can spawn at 0 manpower, fuel does not work that way, tanks also only spawn at HQ, you can spawn all the way up to 2 sectors into the red, when a tank dies it has travel time ahead of it.
thats what she said
i think you should still be dangerous when tracked
the turrets should prolly be faster
This difference in spawn mechanics is what makes it necessary for armor to be both powerful and have sustain.
I agree, when I shoot infantry in the leg you should be reduced to a shuffling walking pace and it isn't fixable until you die and respawn.
(Infantry TTK is so low that would rarely matter that much)
off topic but have you played tarkov by chance?
I have not no.
I did play RO/RO2 and what not that did have some limited features like that, getting shot in the legs would reduce your speed (temporarily? I forget)
Infantry can teleport around the map with the redeploy mechanic faster than armor can move, and if there is an OP close to the tank you're facing a near constant stream of AT coming off of it letting them accumulate damage, that mechanic is what makes the repair tool necessary because it isn't the sort of thing where you can kill the one or two AT guys hassling you and then they're gone for minutes, unless your tank is radically out of position in the middle of nowhere.
just that when you get shot in the leg in tarkov you are slowed unless using certain meds, might not actually be the worst idea?
instead of being 1 shot by the garand your slowed
I don't honestly think it would matter that much in HLL because TTK on infantry is low, and you can just respawn.
until you bandage
With the base level of TTK (and BTK) being so low, and lower than pretty much every other multiplayer game out, these nuances to player wound states are meaningless.
There isn't going to be any change worth implementing if the base level TTK/BTK aren't increased first.
BTK?
Bullets to kill
Cringe
As evident from directly above however, players like their easy-mode shooter.
I don't expect BM to change what they've settled with
You've earned nothing but respect from me
And yeah idk what they were thinking
I would have been totally fine too if they let AT guns pen the heavies
Revert AT guns to U10 values. Implement upgradeable AT guns in U12.
Must be tough being a dev at the moment. Do you cater to the hardcore fans, or take the sweet sweet monies of the Fortniters? The former means integrity and legacy but the latter is money in the bank and returns for investors, market metrics etc. It's a tough choice.
However there has to be a decision made at some point whether to just dump the concerns of the casual players (the true casuals, the ones who just want more COD, not beginners) or dump the community that backed the game initially. That decision will then cascade through literally every element of the game, every balancing decision, every priority tree, every hiring decision. There is no halfway house.
Either make the game you wanted to make, or work on an increasingly compromised product chasing the whims of people who don't know what the f they want anyway and will drop your game for the next shiny toy come Summer 2022.
My vote is obviously to make the game this deserves to be, and slowly watch it achieve greatness as the gaming community cements it as the Half-Life of its genre. But is there enough money in the pot to sustain that? Who knows...
I would be fine if they added pak43s, 76 M3s, and 122 ATs as an upgrade for the normal pak for like 100 or 150 supies
If they did this AT guns would still have received an implicit buff in U11, anecdotally heavies are less present in U11.
heavies are also more expensive
I’m okay with that. It took a touch of skill to successfully engage a medium face to face with an AT gun.
Now, not so much.
so if you cant make em work (or lose it due to idiocy) its a much bigger impact on your team.
The way to AT gun in U10 was always to build them pre-aimed on the flank of a tank and shoot them in the side.
Only risk was if they rotated on you.
Keeping the short termist voices of those new investors and stakeholders at arms length is the key. Otherwise it’s a straight line to analytics replacing vision, and profit acceleration replacing profit. There’s money in the former approach, more than enough to have a good life, and the integrity would fund more ambitious plans. Frictional Games seem to do this well and have a nice model.
Anyone know if the Devs have considered or tinkered with the idea of adding in the German invasion of France to the game? I personally think it would be a neat idea ... or maybe even the American assault upon Japanese occupied islands ...
Right now it’s more important to nail more fundamental mechanics. New maps are always cool tho!
Eh, just a thought as of current. Wouldn't mind seeing them in action though ...
Just bought the game today, and i already know i am going to sink waaay to many hours into this lol
They just released Eastern Front a few months ago. I'd like to see more maps in that theater, as a long-time RO2 fan. Eastern front was the real clash of the titans in WWII, where each side really hated each other.
Question is there a place to warn other people of bad actors?
Like people that don't accidentally teamkill but purposely do it.
There is some sort of collective discord for server admins, the bunker or something like that.
Do you have a link for that so I can report two jerks?
Nope.
If you're not a server admin or owner @drifting magnet i'd suggest reporting the bad actor to the community that owns the server you were on and they'll make sure to inform other communities on 'The Bunker' if required
i have a quick question. im running a ryzen 5 5600G with integrated graphics. i even have a chance of running this game?
16gb 3600mhz ram btw
You should be able to
I run on worse systems
@thin linden thanks, didnt want to drop 30 bucks for nothing
Though be warned this game is unpredictable and there are a lot of cases were it refuses to run on better systems
Give it a shot and refund it if it doesn't work out.
I obviously don't speak for steam but if you're meeting the minimum advertised specs and it doesn't work I can't see them giving you a hard time about the refund unless you've put too many hours in.
I'd recommend you go play on Stalingrad to see if it meets your performance expectations, that's probably the most demanding map.
Yeah good advice
looking for a badass company to join
I downloaded the game a couple hours ago, looking for some people to play with and learn the ropes
On a scale of 1 to 10 to Yes, how confident is Black Matter in being able to successfully migrate Hell Let Loose to Unreal Engine 4.27.2, up from 4.25.3?
Say whaaaaaat? 
You can always just join a server and if you get a squad that talks they can always help you out 👍
yo anyone down to do some tanking? im a decent driver?
This game seriously needs some more punishing recoil. As it is now, everyone runs around like they're railgun turrets.
On which weapons, and what game do you have in mind when thinking of such punishing recoil, in a comparative sense to what ought to be implemented?
All the weapons. There isn't much recoil in this game.
It should be realistic and it would still be fun.
I know there is recoil. But it's not enough. It's a common enough complaint and well-known that the recoil in this game is very mild.
Seems realistic to me..... Oh is it I haven't seen many complaints regarding that
Apologies
Also need more weapon sway, especially after running/sprinting.
Do you like or hate RO2 and RS2 recoil systems?
It'd be an absolute upgrade over what we currently have
yelling at people moving the halftrack in multiple languages
Delicia Suprema 😂
when will the new update drop for ps5?
still haven't seen a halftrack
Give it time, the good teams and comp scene will work out what the best use of it is. We've been using it as a mobile fallback point between mid and defensive positions - between two garrisons for quick numbers bolstering.
I saw the enemy team try to push a flanking move using the half-track the other day, unfortunately for them we had a tank in a good position to take it out but if the tank hadn't been there they would've overwhelmed us at Cattlesheds for sure.
That's a role it can fill very well I think. Get a wave in on a flank, then relocate it a little bit so the enemy can't zero in on it and take it out, and get the second wave in there to support the first.
At the very least you'd force the enemy to shift AT capability over to that flank so that your tank can push on the other flank unimpeded.
HALT!
Dumb question: Just switched from PS5 to PC. Is there enemy tagging/marking/spotting on PC, or is it limited to certain roles? Anyone can do it on console.
Everyone can do Warning pings, but proper Infantry, Light Vehicle, and Tank markers are for Officers/SLs to place.
Even dumber question now: What's the key binding for Warning Pings?
Scratch that, Middle Mouse Button. Duh. Thanks!
I found that swapping a few binds to preferred ones from RO2/RS2 worked.
Are we getting an update for consoles??
It should have been pushed by now.
Not yet #console-general-chat message
Also this gets asked every 20 seconds so please give other people that link
Ok
its the accuracy of weapons and no sway thats the biggest culprit here, recoil on its own is rather decent
lads can you cross play with PC and PS5?
No
Only consoles can play with other consoles. Pc vs pc only
Meanwhile on 2042 (where I lurk in the Reddit because it's, well, hilarious) they're begging for console-only crossplay, and to be separated from the PC players 🤷♂️
Of course. M+K has far more precision than a controller for such FPS games
Reddit’s just full of Teenage Dweebs who think they know it all.
If I played on console I'd never want to be mixed with the PC players on a shooter, and similarly I don't want cross play even though I play on a PC because it means that there are console players on my team getting dunked on by the enemy.
Too many kids on console’s too😏
Being 100% realistic is not HLLs goal, they focus on mixing great arcade/milsim mechanics
I dont get the complaining, its very easy to disable crossplay in the xbox-settings, and when done you only play with other people on xbox (no ps4/5 and no pc).
Its easy and fast to do and i think they even added the function to the settings of the game itself in the latest update (making it even more easy as it can be done from inside the game).
But the bf2042-community (the discord even more so) is a damn toxic place lol
yo, are the devs going to add new eastern front maps? It would be incredible if we could fight in an even more dense map of Stalingrad (building to building combat) or on the outskirts of Leningrad or Moscow...
I'm assuming you're console @drowsy kettle? 🙂
Or do you mean add to the current batch of maps?
The roadmap does suggest new Eastern Front maps will be coming!
a real f***ing cool map would be 1945 berlin, fighting street to street in a supper dense apocalyptic hell hole with endless waves of soviet armor fighting against static German tanks and flaks...
oh and night time modes with flares
nah pc gang
Ahhh fair dos I read your message incorrectly
just havent been on in about a month
There are two Eastern Front maps coming but I assume they will be here some time in the middle of next year - complete assumption
And if you haven't seen Night maps w/flares are also coming - both according to the roadmap. I'm assuming you've seen the 2021/22 roadmap?
id prefer the devs to take as long as possible, rather then rush it.
pilotable planes would be cool too, 6 v 6 dog fights over head would be insane
Now that'd be something - can't see it happening myself mind! Think having pilotable planes on the map sizes wouldn't work hand in hand i'd say
Also on 50v50 6 people up in the air is a squad not on the ground capping
Its already hard enough for people to build garrys.....
Pull away about another squad to man AA equipment to counter the enemy airplanes and you're two squads short on the cap.
Yup
Hello
Dogs of war
Need some help
Is the game worth buying? Servers are full?
Is it hard to find people with mics to play as a team?
