if you don't know how to use a map it can be very tricky to navigate

tends to happen a lot with the realistic shooter genre

[real atlas]

What’s up guys

[tulip gorge]

That would be me. I’m trying though

[dim pulsar]

Good on ya

[pale vault]

does resource node placement have any influence on anything? i saw an engineer build a munition node next to the artilleries in a match.

[gloomy grove]

Further back the better.

They get lost when a sector is taken, so if you build them anywhere but the HQ then there is a chance of losing them when pushed back.

The yellow circles do have a passive effect. Manpower nodes take away 2.5 minutes from the supply cooldown for support and the munitions does the same for ammo and bandage boxes. This isn't worth it in most situations.

Just build in HQ and forget about them

[pale vault]

okay thanks

[pale vault]

does rearming supply truck cost any resource?

[gloomy grove]

Nope

[coral blade]

Those new death animations in the roadmap, has that update already happened?

[sweet cliff]

Plus if they're in HQ anyone who wants to use those passive buffs can easily deploy there

[gloomy grove]

Roadmap was for U11 onwards, and they weren't in U11 afaik so I assume not

[coral blade]

ahhh okay, so what update are we on rn?

[sweet cliff]

U11 on PC, presumably U9 or some hybrid of that on console since they don't have soviets yet

U11 came out 7 Dec so U12 is months away

[ruby imp]

New here need a squad to join

[dawn widget]

Join a random match u will find some nice helpful people

[pine sluice]

Does anybody know how to fix whenever I load into the game I pick a unit and class then I lose connection to server

It’s literally been sense launch send I haven’t been able to play a game

[dawn widget]

Possible firewall issue or Internet problem

[pine sluice]

I don’t believe so, some of my friends have the same exact issue

[drifting magnet]

Is there any way to pick up downed friendlies to bring them behind cover to revive?

[sweet cliff]

Nope.

Revive on the spot or nothing.'

[sweet turtle]

What happened to bodies staying longer than 20 seconds? Was playing today and killed someone. After looking away and holding a position, I looked back and it was gone after 10 seconds.

^ My settings are also set to have them stay for at least 5 mins

[thick anvil]

I don't even know why I joined

I don't even own the game

Hey are there any new guys that want to play together ?

[quartz pollen]

hey guys , i want to play with friend on ps5 but i'm on PC it's not possible ? 😦

[onyx sonnet]

Based on what I have read they are keeping Console (Xbox/PS) and PC separate

[quartz pollen]

it's so sad , i have buy a game just for that and i can't 😭

[hoary veldt]

true

no crossplay

[wraith swan]

When can I change my loadout on this ? Been playing as officer

[hoary veldt]

level up some levels

[wraith swan]

I’m at level 12 how many more?

[hoary veldt]

give me a sec

[gloomy grove]

You need to level up your role level, not career level

[hoary veldt]

nvm they dont show it anymore at which level you get the cosmetics and loadout

[still vault]

Increments of 3, 6, and 9 for class role levels. Cosmetics depending on overall level.

[hoary veldt]

yea couldnt see that anymore im level 137 and nearly everything is max level

thank you

[dawn widget]

Crossplay just introduces more issues... Glad they kept it separate there's more than enough pc players etc

[dim pulsar]

I would not want console players on my team in crossplay match 😆

[dawn widget]

honestly from the stories about PC i hear here it doesn't sound like your fears are warranted

but we don't really want to get shredded by M&K either so it's ok

[nimble furnace]

Too many kids on consoles, leave the cross platform stuff out for PC player’s

[dawn widget]

sigh

[viral wasp]

lot of children on PC too

[hoary veldt]

stop behaving like one and move on!

[nimble furnace]

But not HLL

[viral wasp]

oh you'd be surprised

[nimble furnace]

I’ve came across 1 in over 500hrs of playing

[dawn widget]

you've actually nailed it here. and that's what's happening here on console. even if you released HLL on the Wii U, you'd end up with a certain kind of people playing it. about five of them but you see my point.

[nimble furnace]

Hmmm maybe 🤔

It is a difficult game to understand for kids😊

[viral wasp]

literally in a squad being lead by a child and I'm conversing with a child on Discord

[nimble furnace]

I don’t believe you

[uncut jasper]

I remember this one squeaker I heard in HLL and the kid was a badass SL ngl

Only kid I’ve heard, in-game

[next oasis]

https://streamable.com/dfl3q9

I mute SLs and Commander

they've no information i dont already know, or need

[nimble furnace]

The one I come across was a little 💩… I asked him to drop the supplies and he instantly said “you sound like a Nonce!” So I shot him and told him to go play Fortnite 😡

[viral wasp]

so you TKd him over words

GG

[nimble furnace]

Yes, because he was acting like a typical child gamer, calling older people nonces all the time

[next oasis]

[next oasis]

[next lava]

Yup, I'll usually just ask people to leave my unit, kicking and TK are a last resort.

[uncut jasper]

I TK people unprovoked

[nimble furnace]

He deserved it

[uncut jasper]

This guy TKs over words

[next oasis]

lemme get this straight,
you TK'd him,
over words?

Is this correct?

I'm still trying to figure this one out!

[viral wasp]

Smash and Dash a toxic player

[next lava]

Even if I have to kick an unresponsive sniper I won't TK them, and my friend would just play with an unscoped rifle until the sniper dies.

[next oasis]

nah
just emotionally swayed

[nimble furnace]

He called me a Nonce! Yes I tk’d him… do you like being called a Nonce by a kid?

[next oasis]

I don't care about what kids have to say lmao

[uncut jasper]

You got mad that a kid called you a nonce

Bro's geekin'

[tall orchid]

what’s your steam?

[nimble furnace]

The trolls are out tonight 🤪

[next lava]

I wouldn't give a shit, I'd ask them to leave, and/or kick them, or just mute them if they're not in an important role.

[nimble furnace]

Why mate?

[tall orchid]

just wanna make sure you don’t play on my server 🙂

[uncut jasper]

He called me a Nonce! Yes I tk’d him… do you like being called a Nonce by a kid?

[nimble furnace]

Are you a Nonce 🤔

[uncut jasper]

Absolutely. Now let me TK for you it

[nimble furnace]

A pedo

[uncut jasper]

[next lava]

You should probably look that up. It's UK slang for paedophile.

i figured it was UK

definitely sounds UK originated

[next lava]

Where I am, it's just slang for a stupid person.

[next lava]

Back to the earlier discussion, I've played a game with a 12 or 14yo commander and they we're doing a perfectly good job at it, yet someone complained based on how they sounded, and basically harassed this kid until they resigned... so when I asked the complainant to step up and take command they didn't, so I had to note a 12yo did a better job than an adult.

[dawn widget]

usually people interpret my name ingame as the Russianised chibasky but in the beta I had a child accusing me in a fake Japanese voice of looking for my waifu. but that is a child's right, don't take away their childhood

[nimble furnace]

He should use a voice changer🤔

[viral wasp]

change your attitude first

[uncut jasper]

Over words, bro

[nimble furnace]

Are you still obsessed with me?😂

[next oasis]

he wasn't nice
so I shot him

im i getting this right?

[nimble furnace]

Are you a Nonce?

[warm breach]

Hey so I got ps5 and was wondering if I should get hell let loose I’m lookin for like an arma 3 experience but I don’t have a pc so this is my only option and a lil skeptical

[dawn widget]

the only game close to arma 3 for a milsim experience is arma 2, but you're not going to get closer on PS5 than HLL

[sweet cliff]

Check out some YouTube videos but it is not very similar to arma.

[warm breach]

K thanks for the response

[sweet cliff]

It is a fun game but thats subjective and I personally hate playing shooters on a controller.

You'll also be 2 updates behind so be aware if you're looking at PC YouTube content that has U10 or U11 content.

[dawn widget]

whispers that we do have U10 just not Eastern Front maps

[manic tapir]

Just got done with my first play session with a buddy of mine. We’re hooked! Can’t wait to keep playing!

Any general tips for a newbie squad leader?

[next oasis]

Dont cry about lack of garrisons when you have OPs available to place anywhere in active objectives, and for free

[sweet cliff]

Oh it's u10 code but without the soviets? Good to know.

[sweet cliff]

Keep your marks on the map up to date because other SLs see them, keep command chat to an absolute minimum and do your part to build and defend garrisons.

And if you mark a tank try to give a proper identification because that makes a massive difference to tank crews.

[velvet rapids]

how can u remove the marks ?

[gloomy grove]

click them

[velvet rapids]

thanks for the info

[barren anchor]

What military ranks does HLL have?

[peak veldt]

It doesn’t but your level goes up on Steam with xp on pc

[unkempt storm]

The standard; private, sergeant, lieutenant, captain, major, colonel, etc.

[median turret]

The achievement overview lets you see them all

[ashen cipher]

If i switch the engineer loadout midgame will my nodes still be there? or will they get removed?

[warm knot]

they'll still be there and the passive node XP will carry over to your new class

[ashen cipher]

and how about switching the class loadout?

[sweet cliff]

They stick around if you swap teams or leave the server too. There until the match ends, the sector is lost, or someone destroys or removes them.

[ashen cipher]

thanks

[quartz mason]

Does anyone know why the tiger tank is so op

[warm knot]

it's not

[sweet cliff]

Can you define how you think it's OP?

[warm knot]

this oughta be good

[tall orchid]

👀

[median turret]

It's a heavy tank, all heavy tanks have sorta the same OP-ness.

[tall orchid]

“a tiger oneshot me when i was in a stuart, shit is op”

[sweet cliff]

A tiger one shot me in a 76, oh wait I was solo and didn't realize I got satcheled

[tall orchid]

🤣

[sweet cliff]

I suspect this is a bazooka complaint

[median turret]

I locked squad because I'm lvl 3 and I was just learning guys.
I also don't have a microphone because it's 1995 and all within my price range have shit audio. I work parttime breeding butterflies so I have a budget of 3 dollars

[sweet cliff]

Who knows maybe the guy has realistic complaints, I for one an eager to hear them!

I have heard the, im just trying to learn, shit as the 76 drives away from spawn solo leaving my 3 man crew in the dust

Who then picked up a random and was yelling at them on command chat instead of squad chat

[naive hazel]

Is there a way to cancel a grenade throw?

[severe flume]

Not once the pin is pulled/the cap is removed

Youve started the process it will either explode in your hand or you better throw it

[naive hazel]

Thanks!

[quartz mason]

Does a tiger beat a Sherman

[severe flume]

depends which sherman and who shoots first

76mm jumbo fights a tiger and wins if both shoot at the same time due to the 76mm faster reload
if tiger gets the first shot off, tiger might win if the 76 has to turn turret

75mm shermans cant pen tiger through the front'

so tiger will win those unless caught off guard by the sherman and giving side/rear

[sweet cliff]

The 76 is very favored in the Tiger matchup.0

[severe flume]

recons 5 shot a tiger in the ass

yeah noodle the 76 really is

[sweet cliff]

The only advantage the Tiger has over the 76 is American AT can't hit it in the side with bazookas and it has a bit more AP than a 76 does but generally running out of ammo isn't a huge issue.

[severe flume]

true

[sweet cliff]

It's such a stark difference that a 76 can turn a corner and still kill you, if the Tiger shoots first but the 76 fires back within 2 seconds or so, you're almost guaranteed to die in the Tiger.

[severe flume]

true ]

there either should be some balance for that

[rich plume]

They need to fix arty

[mighty temple]

Tiger master race.

[alpine bough]

from a match of Post Scriptum: "SILLY AT TIGER KNOWS ALL!"

[dawn widget]

Meaow

[normal pike]

Not to mention, if the 76mm angles at 30 degrees (approx) to the target, the likelihood of bouncing the 88mm is much higher. Plus it's 1st gear turn speed is the fastest, and a smaller target than the Tiger.

Both crews at the same skill level, the 76mm should have it beat every time.

Over the Christmas break I might run some Tanking training sessions for anyone that can tolerate a GMT+10 timezone, haha.

[turbid onyx]

If I play support where should I place supplies?

[normal pike]

Your officer or commander should tell you - if not - anywhere you think a Garrison should be placed.

[sweet cliff]

When they do ask for them somewhere remember that they're buildable within 50 meters of where you drop them, so don't put them at peoples feet because they're standing where they want the blueprint up most of the time

[normal pike]

My rule of thumb is

• 3 garrisons on your current defensive point
• 2 garrisons on the one behind it

Then some on the front line (main attack) and use OPs, half tracks and red zone Garrisons for flanks.

Garrisons can be placed 200m apart, which is the same as the grid squares on the map, so if you have boxes 200m apart ready to go - they'll be used up 🙂

You can always put them in your HQ (for nodes)
Near a defensive tank (repair station)
In a sneaky side flank position (AT gun)

[quartz mason]

So if I play tank I should choose US over Germans

Since 76 is better than tiger

[sweet cliff]

I mean, sure I suppose but you're always going to end up playing both sides.

[normal pike]

It is better, but you can be very good in a Tiger as well. The weak link is always the crew. If you practice and have consistent comms, you'll dominate most other tanks.

We prefer the Tiger purely because of that Maybach V12 sound and the advantage it has in maneuverability over bad terrain

[sweet cliff]

You get a bit more AP in the Tiger too which helps if you stay alive for a long time.

[normal pike]

As also mentioned, the Tiger cannot be penetrated by Bazookas on the sides, so has a slight advantage there too.

Check out the tank bible and tankopedia for some really good nuances with the HLL tanks.

romanian aren't a race! ethnicism or xenophobia is better word i don't excuse the mm but stop for basics american reaction sorry for my bad english

[gloomy grove]

It's a generic term used for discriminating against people who you perceive as 'different'

Language evolves. Dictionary definitions aren't always perfectly aligned to common usage.

I'm also not American.

(I'm also not interested in a conversation about word usage)

[lethal badger]

(i don't sure to want see this use of the term here for bad humour thx )

[dim pulsar]

I think the word youre looking for is “bigotry”

flies away

[lethal badger]

Osef and free speech lol

[gloomy grove]

You're a racist, I understand 🙂

I'm not even going to bother watching those. I'll just assume it's not funny

Here is the thing, comedy is contextual. It might be funny in a group of friends, or in a comedy club, or in a film. Randomly going out into public and shouting it on the streets is probably not that funny. That is essentially what you've done here.

Now, I make some dodgy jokes. I enjoy comedy which others might not. But you've got to understand the context and audience. With context, it might be funny. Here, where there is no context, it's not funny. It's randomly being racist.

Know your audience.

[dawn widget]

Are you British or have we wandered into some fringe ethnicity vs ethnicity thing?

Oh, lol

I have had a total three Romanian close friends and while I don’t think they stole, they absolutely did not give any fucks, so I guess this convo checks out. But you should have declared your R-Pass up front.

true not the good audience for his joke but don't speak of racism when isn't racism . Romanian aren't a race just an ethnie and good work for moderation don't encourage stupidity by stupidity . Romanian people aren't thief and is a chan for speak of HLL

[gloomy grove]

Despite the fact I said don't take dictionary definitions as perfect, and explained how language is fluid, the dictionary definition for racism includes ethnic groups, and the actual usage of the word includes ethnic groups

[lethal badger]

isn't a dictionary definitions just a fact , but we are just one species so we can closed that talk for new people we come here

[nimble furnace]

Consoles are silly

[dawn widget]

laughs in several ways but on this occasion mainly in EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION

[dawn widget]

we used to have a shocking assist thing, but not a snap assist - it would just slow down the sights if you moved over a target even if they were behind a hedge. so you could use it like a radar. I haven’t noticed it recently.

[viral wasp]

nah they're not

Do not be afraid. We will shape them into soldiers.

Shaping of the old ones is still heavily work in progress. They still don't know what is a capture point after lvl50 even

The ecosystem can't handle it much longer

[peak veldt]

What we have is experts in point and shoot. That’s what FPS fans are. Our job is to turn them into Complete Soldiers with an awareness of everything else that comes before point and shoot.

And then your squad is epic.

Watch some of the tutorial/guide videos from monoespacial on YouTube, if you haven’t already. Specifically https://youtu.be/LaY27yiOPPA

[cobalt willow]

I think I saw this one already yesterday, thanks! Are there usually squad leaders active within the game that I can join?

More often than not, yeah there should be a free spot within a squad. If not, you might just have to wait a minute or two for a spot to open up

[quartz mason]

Can someone explain the difference between Ally heavy tanks

75 vs 76

And pros and cons of each

Please and thank you

[severe flume]

75 cant pen the tiger iirc

75 jumbo has heavy front armor and costs less than the 76 jumbo

[sweet cliff]

75 also has smoke rounds

[severe flume]

https://theline.gg/tankbible very useful

[sweet cliff]

Jumbo 75 is a good infantry support tank but you have to be careful because of Tigers

[severe flume]

where as the 76 is more of a AT tank

[sweet cliff]

It's good infantry support too since the majority of its ammo is HE but the smoke really makes the jumbo 75 special

Can get you out of sticky situations too when a Tiger shows up

[severe flume]

indeed

smack it with some smoke and RUN

[sweet cliff]

When in doubt you should always take the 76 unless you have a good reason not to since then you don't have to worry about flanking a Tiger to kill it

[severe flume]

the ol' pocket sand maneuver

[sweet cliff]

I love dumping smoke in a tanks face even if I end up dying

[coral blade]

This game is so annoying

I just love games where I died 5 times in 20 mins and have not even fired my gun

[weary stirrup]

Hey its realism

A lot of soldiers in WWII died without even firing their guns.

[unkempt storm]

Faze isn’t wrong. But sometimes that’s just how it is

[weary stirrup]

it was mostly a joke, But it does have realism. But that doesn't excuse the rage it can cause.

[coral blade]

Luckily I didn’t get too raged

It was mostly just annoyance if anything

Not all games are like that, but got when they are

It’s hell

[weary stirrup]

Well

...

It's in the name

I have a lot of fun even when I die alot though (I just bought the game and am absolute garbage, Most games I don't even kill anyone) Mainly cause the game is cool. Historically accurate (To a point) And I love WWII history so It's good for me

[coral blade]

Yeah i don’t mind it

It’s fun

I usually like stuff a little more faster in terms of pacing. But it’s not a huge deal

[weary stirrup]

Does anyone else pretend to actually be a Soldier on Omaha or something, And start screaming in fear as they bleed out on the ground

[coral blade]

I hope not

[weary stirrup]

I do. I think it makes it more fun.

To RP as a soldier

That might have been a bad example

[coral blade]

Yeah I’m not really into RP of any kind. RPers usually kick me from squads and games because I’m not willing to participate in any of that

[weary stirrup]

But a tamer example was, I was sitting in a house right on US lines with another guy, Him watching the stairs me Up in the Attic. And i said to him "What are you going to do when you get back to berlin" And we started chatting in character

[weary stirrup]

I don't keep it up for the whole game, Just occasionally

No I'm not going to kick people from my company just because they won't make casual conversation like an actual soldier

[coral blade]

Well that’s good

[weary stirrup]

i'm glad HLL wasn't a COD WWII situation

That would be terrible

[rotund horizon]

How do I do that? I’m like level 95 max level commander and been playing it on console since it’s release and I’m affiliated on twitch with aspirations to be a HLL twitch partner

[weary stirrup]

I've gotta say

Pleasantly suprised with this community

Nicer than I thought for such a tactical game

[plush tundra]

is hll worth buying?

[slim fractal]

Perhaps @lean orchid can point to the right direction.

[rotund horizon]

Ahhh yes a good friend of mine

[weary stirrup]

yes

It is

Super immersive and fun

[quartz mason]

I’m going to be honest I downloaded it at first and went into a game as infantry and got killed instantly for an entire game. Then I refunded it. Then I tried it again as a tank and love it. It all depends what you prefer

[quartz mason]

Yes Ty

[quartz mason]

Hmm ok because yesterday I requested a heavy tank for Allie’s and my crewmates saw it was a 75 and got upset

From now on I will clarify I want a 76

What do you have to play as to get the FG42

What class

[sweet cliff]

Automatic rifleman level 6, or the sniper (not sure what level, I think 3?) gets a semi-auto one with 10 round magazines.

[toxic radish]

Just got in a match where the timer run out and manpower just started to drop down + a super quick cap of the last point by the enemy? What was this?

[heavy belfry]

invasion of poland 1939/france 1940 when? 👀

[unkempt storm]

In offensive, once the timer reaches 0 and if the defending team is losing the point or it’s contested, the attacker’s manpower resource acts as an “overtime” for how ever many manpower points they have. The round will only end if the defenders retake the point (or manpower reaches 0)

LOOKING FOR ARMOR DIVISION

[cinder sonnet]

how do I stop reloading the shotgun and fire?

[mild moat]

is this game worth buying?

[mild moat]

yes

ok bet

[dim pulsar]

Depends on what youre looking for out of the game

The general population of players both old and new are not in the same league as the game was designed to be

Its an intelligent game filled with morons

[uncut jasper]

And the game design is trending towards the morons tbh

But I got my money’s worth, it’s worth a try tbh

[mild moat]

Does it have an active playerbase at least?

[uncut jasper]

Yes, pretty healthy

https://steamcharts.com/app/686810

[dim pulsar]

Healthy is subjective

Once you filter out all the unplayable server regions

Youre only left with a handful and they fill up fast

[hasty tinsel]

the retention after the update wasn't great

[dim pulsar]

I wouldnt speculate on any of that, just that you have 50/50 chance of having a terrible team

Ive seen matches where both sides were equally incompetent, but more so that ppl just stack by level or clan and completely destroy the other team

I dont even blame them, wouldnt want to play with morons either

[hasty tinsel]

my clan is on break, so most of us aren't going to be playing the game

[dim pulsar]

You would think the idea of having to run a long distance would encourage ppl to seek out supplies on the map and build a garrison but these people are willfully dense

[tall orchid]

im getting some powerful stuffed in locker vibes

[hasty tinsel]

tell us, fourdoorsmore, what kind of locker were you put in?

[dim pulsar]

Its not as much a locker as it was a cell

I dont want to talk about it

[uncut jasper]

"Youre only left with a handful and they fill up fast"

That's most games in general

[dim pulsar]

Lol

I can quick match in cod or bf and get in an almost full server

Like anytime

Local to my area

[uncut jasper]

OCE/AUS generally don't retain players that well because they have to play with each other or connect to EU/CN

Which still leaves them with 200+ ping

[hasty tinsel]

if you can find a server with 5 guys in it, they usually pop in 20-30min

[uncut jasper]

The game's gaining players, as slowly as it is

[dim pulsar]

You wait 10 minutes in a queue, join a match, and half your team is picking their belly buttons and sniffing their finger

[hasty tinsel]

meanwhile, you get a more relaxed pace

[uncut jasper]

I'm starting to see HLL vids posted everywhere, so they're def gaining some traction. The playerbase will only increase with it so long as the game doesn't completely shit the bed

[dim pulsar]

When the game first launched, you would literally beg for supllies, now supplies are everywhere and the squad leaders just run pass them

[tall orchid]

easier to be a server owner and give yourself VIP

[hasty tinsel]

but will the playerbase get smarter or dumber? 🤔

[uncut jasper]

Doesn't matter, it's still growing, regardless

It's on the devs to figure that out

[dim pulsar]

🤔

Just need a stick made of gold to poke the devs in the right direction

[uncut jasper]

If the devs really wanted players to play like you want them to play, they'd adjust game mechanics around that and add things to get that message across.

We're not the market, pimps

Not anymore, anyway

[dim pulsar]

Where is the golden pimp cane

[hasty tinsel]

in all likelihood, they haven't spent more than 20min playing the game normally in the last six months

[uncut jasper]

Neither have I tbh LOL

[dim pulsar]

Yeah i try the game like maybe 3 times a week, i normally dont play for more than an hr, unless therr are clan members on

[uncut jasper]

It's a frustrating experience, playing a game that's being developed for two different types of playerbases while not really merging them at all when they're actually playing

I uninstalled after this last update, I just couldn't get into it

[dim pulsar]

They protect idiots too much in this game

Freedom to be dumb

Its overly complicated bf

Plays like the old bfs but has mechanics that are apparently too complicated

[uncut jasper]

The mechanics basically leave it up to the more advanced players to set up resources and teleport spawns and pray you have enough people on your team to outcap an objective at any given point

[dim pulsar]

Its not even advanced

[uncut jasper]

I'm stretching advanced here, considering what it takes to play the game effectively

[dim pulsar]

Its watered down milsim

Like autistically watered down

[next oasis]

More players per match than BF but less players who determine the match outcome.
Too many clashing game elements in HLL

[hasty tinsel]

remember old smdm 🥲

old smdm in like, update 4

[dim pulsar]

Me setting markers for squad, squad spawning on the other side of map

No one is in the defensive circle or cap circle

[hasty tinsel]

when i was a boy, we had to run to the middle of the map at the start

[uncut jasper]

Like nodes and resources at this point are completely irrelevant to winning unless you want to do something (that's unnecessary) like using arty or spam bombing runs/mobile spawns. It just gives some artificial depth for people tired of running and dying before they have to run and die again lmao

[hasty tinsel]

i don't agree with saying arty is unnecessary, you might be technically correct, but it;s a force multiplier that helps in a lot of sitations.
same for tanks, and commander call ins

[uncut jasper]

Because it's obscenely OP in its current state

one dude who knows what he's doing with arty can stall an entire team

[hasty tinsel]

a well timed bombing run and airhead aren't necessary, but you can steam roll with good timing

[next oasis]

all this "extra" stuff seems like a half-ass effort to distract just how little the combat plays a role. Simply showing up is usually enough to sway games

[uncut jasper]

Exactly. It's why I usually just ended up playing arty or sitting a squad down for defense. It's maximum returns for minimum effort.

[next oasis]

nodes, resources, CO abilities, nuances to tanks.
Just seems like distractions to what you need to be doing per objective

Teleporting there, and not dying

[hasty tinsel]

it's more nuanced than that.
airheads are useless without stealth, for instance
or any kind of flank is useless without stealth for that matter

[uncut jasper]

Like why even worry about teleports or resources when I can just pop dudes from the objective for the entire match. The team either wins for me because I'm buying them enough time or we still lose and I'm satisfied from raking the team the entire match.

Oh, there's an airhead? Lemme just go stand in its vicinity and it's cancelled out

At this point, treat every supply drop like an airhead and you'll never have that problem

[hasty tinsel]

the game lacks a coherent secondary objective system, and what does exist is very abstract.
There are only two maps that come to mind where I specifically defend my squad on a place that is not inside the stronghold.
And that's the windmills when the SP is yamke, and the east side of the river on carentan when the SP is the bridge

[next oasis]

Airheads are an admittance to HLL probably never straying from the significance of teleporting spawnpoints.

It doesn't matter if there are secondary objectives, or more points of interest. If the game is about teleporting troops via spawn, that is what it'll always be at its core

[uncut jasper]

windmills are OP, nobody knows that the wood is penetrable

Can spot literally any airhead on the map with it

[hasty tinsel]

spawn logic is the problem it is because flanking is such a powerful force multiplier.
The power of the flank isn't derived from the spawn location if you catch my drift.
A spawn position is good because you can flank from there.
A spawn position isn't always a good place to flank from.

flanking is so good because player's eyes are fixed forward. etc, etc,

[next oasis]

a "good flank" in HLL is just an SL placing a spawn after he's snuck by.

Flanking isn't some mastermind move in HLL since you're able to place spawnpoints in supposed "Enemy Territory".
It loses its actual significance when you can simply respawn where only one guy, the SL, needed to be to place the spawn

[uncut jasper]

Flanking doesn't matter anymore when someone like me is specifically looking for people that are flanking

[hasty tinsel]

spawns in enemy territory is necessary because you can still defensively spawn bomb

[next oasis]

Players aren't moving in mass to perform "flanks". That's unnecessary in HLL.

[uncut jasper]

I just sit around and wait and then boom, kill a flanker and look for the OP

[next oasis]

HLL is all about spawn bombing. It doesnt demand anymore coordination than a few key players simply placing a spawn for their men/team.

[dim pulsar]

Pretty much

[hasty tinsel]

so adopt my idea of no team spawns 😛

[next oasis]

The rest is just a trickledown effect of players just being able to teleport in as a result. Simply showing up.

[hasty tinsel]

fuck the team

[dim pulsar]

They even made it simpler, you can drive a car up to the frontlines and park it

Between half tracks, air heads, and supply trucks , a tangible frontline really doesnt exist

[hasty tinsel]

Flanking with a half-track is complicated.
You do actually have to scout in front to make sure no enemies are there.

[dim pulsar]

Some people are even sneaky enough to swap out roles and build ninja garrisons

[hasty tinsel]

Half tracks are ironically hard to use properly, therefore eliminating there usefulness and impact on the match

[dim pulsar]

Nothing is complicated in this game, it just that imbicles set the benchmark for “advanced “tactics

[next oasis]

It's just incredibly gamey for me. Like you're waiting for a step-by-step process to happen, and you either win or lose the game as a result

Who's gonna teleport first?
All of our spawnpoints lit up (!). aaaaand we lose the point, or vice versa if your team is teleporting quicker
Over and over, game after game.

[dim pulsar]

Basically waiting for whoever plays the game as intended first

[next oasis]

It's very paint-by-numbers

[dim pulsar]

Clown world

[uncut jasper]

Literally use your OP as an early warning device, it's hilarious

[dim pulsar]

Prematch countdown, fanfare, round starts, circus music commences

[hasty tinsel]

Atleast the game isn't as clownish as the new bf game...yet

[next oasis]

the 30 second match end countdown is weird too.
Nothing deliberate or determinate happens in 30 seconds, that wasn't already going to happen.
It's a "hey you wasted another 1.5 hours of your life" countdown reminder

[dim pulsar]

Game doesnt have intuitive AI that can tell the team is hopelessly lost when the timer is at 2 minutes and they have not yet capped

So you just sit there and watch youtube for 2 minutes

[warm knot]

makes as much sense as the staging time at the beginning of the match that doesn't actually stop people from rushing the point

[next oasis]

it's for people to load in, it's always been

[dim pulsar]

Staging time actually does buffer some slow loaders

Its working as intended

[warm knot]

if you're in a truck it stops you for maybe 5 seconds

[next oasis]

how many ways can you say "we need to take the median point before the enemy does" during the start?

[dim pulsar]

I stil see ppl drag their whole squad to the secondary point when the match just started

[next oasis]

why WOULDN'T you send the whole team to the middle point at the start? There is no reason not to. If the enemy team doesn't, you are guarenteed to have it

[warm knot]

imo the staging time walls shouldn't allow anyone to leave the HQ so everyone moves out at once, that way one guy can't jack the transport truck by himself

[dim pulsar]

Also the concept of capture weight is lost on a disproportionately large amount of players

[warm knot]

really says a lot that people can't be bothered to learn an extremely simple mechanic

[next oasis]

HLL players are obsessed with failure.
The team has already lost if they are prepping for fallback at the start when your main objective is to hold at least the middle cap for the duration

[dim pulsar]

I see a fl ton of games recently where the circle is being drained and there is no one actively inside

[warm knot]

you can worry about falling back when you lose the middle point

I've never seen a team immediately start losing their 2nd sector right at the start of a game

[dim pulsar]

Its like, man i figured this shit out at level 20, wtf have you ppl been doing

[next oasis]

Capture weight is literal MAGIC in HLL.
It's a significant reason why I say HLL isn't about combatting your opponent, but rather about your team 'gaming' the match. It's gamey

[warm knot]

actually maybe it happened once or twice, but it always was one or two recon jerkoffs

nothing like a whole squad in the strongpoint

[next oasis]

Spawn teleporting into enemy territory.
Spawn bombing to capture objectives.
Take advantage of capture weight magic.

HLL.

[dim pulsar]

There is no other way to really encourage attacking unless you have a means to hold the defensive point, and thats what captur weight does, im not a fan of it, but thats the meta we have

[dawn widget]

Stargate Meta

[dim pulsar]

My point is it still lost on ppl , even tho the concept is already there for bf

For some reason hll players are really dumb

[warm knot]

the game would probably play out better if warfare worked like offensive where you have to be inside the strongpoint to capture along with capture time that scales with how many guys are inside

that way one recon guy in the point can't cap as fast as 20 guys

[dawn widget]

The stargates just need to go somehow. Especially the ones dropped from orbit.

[warm knot]

airheads are cancer

[next oasis]

Scaling capture time rate with number of players is bad because it encourages mass leapfrogging even more. There'd be hardly any reason not to

[dim pulsar]

Offensive is actually more fun now, but they still need to scrap recons ability to build garrison

[warm knot]

airheads are a bad solution to poor strongpoint placement

[next oasis]

Plus the already existing teleporting? Terrible.

[warm knot]

like it would get any worse than it currently is

[dim pulsar]

Its designed to make it easy for dummies to “flank” except that only the smart ppl are taking advantage of it

[next oasis]

HLL suffers in that it doesn't encourage a natural flow of player movement. It actively discourages it.
"Enemy territory" has no meaningful significance. Everybody can be everywhere.

[warm knot]

I still maintain that back around U7 or so when garrisons couldn't be destroyed if they were in locked territory was a good change

[next oasis]

It was a very good change. A few dunce strongpoint locations on 1 or 2 maps skewed peoples perception of it.
Classic HLL community blunder

[warm knot]

instead of fixing the map design they "solve" the problem with something else

[next oasis]

Pretty sure I said it previously, bet that the game's only gonna see "logic" changes going forward.
That is, backend number adjustments.

[warm knot]

they're already raking in the sales, why change the formula now?

totally agree with you there

[next oasis]

have halftracks had any significance on matches

[warm knot]

they're just better red zone garrisons

[sweet cliff]

They can be pretty OP for attackers on offensive since you can drive them up while territory is still locked

[warm knot]

can't say I've played enough to tell whether or not they've had a big impact

[sweet cliff]

And they're a garry that random soldiers can't destroy unless they have explosives, best they can do is stand on them and proxy lock them until something shows up that can kill it

[next oasis]

"lock it until someone shows up that can kill it"

G A M E Y

this kind of situation shouldn't even be a thing, the driving a half track past the "frontline" thing.

[warm knot]

it works in PS tbh

[next oasis]

PS is dead

[warm knot]

not really

I call it dead if I can't find a game with less than 200 ping

beyond the wire is a dead game right now which is a real shame

I like WW1 as a setting

[sweet cliff]

I think they're pretty decent for back line spawn points since recon can't directly kill them, they don't count towards garry limit or spacing and you can drive them up as you cap or fall back with them

[warm knot]

is there a spacing limit for halftracks?

[sweet cliff]

But any random asshole can also get in them and drive them into the enemy

Never tried checking, I doubt it.

And unlike a garry if someone finds it you can reposition it, lots of reasons to like them, I don't see them all that often either.

[warm knot]

they're still pretty new

gotta give it a bit of time for the slower players to figure them out

[manic tapir]

Are half tracks new?

[warm knot]

they're new to the most recent update

[manic tapir]

ah gotcha. i'm new to the game myself so I'm trying to catch up

[sweet cliff]

Been in the game 2 weeks

[manic tapir]

About the same for me, soldier

[sweet cliff]

Their fundamental flaw is you have it in a good spot and then someone doesn't want to walk to the enemy they want to drive.

With the prevalence of rockets and other explosives on the field they really have no business in enemy territory in my opinion, and the point you're defending is risky too because the enemy can be anywhere there too

[warm knot]

rename HLL to [teleports behind you] "heh nothin personnel kid"

[dull vigil]

@sweet cliff is this the same NoodleArms that's always playing with TheFreshBakedGoods?

[sweet cliff]

Oh no am I busted?

But yes, yes I am the same.

[dull vigil]

You guys stole my hound's panther kill weeks ago on Foy. Forgive but never forget. Dig the name though.

[sweet cliff]

It's a dog eat dog world out there, we also hate getting our kills snaked.

[dull vigil]

You may have been in a different vehicle in that match, actually. Guilty by association though. 😜

[sweet cliff]

Pretty much.

[dull vigil]

Any thoughts or info on semi auto fire toggling for the auto weapons? Is it ever going to happen?

[sweet cliff]

Would love to see it, can't be that hard to implement, I bet we see it eventually

[dull vigil]

I feel like it's an inevitability as well. Just having to wait a long time for a seemingly basic and fundamental mechanic. It's not incompatible with the style of the game, so it makes me wonder how long it's going to take and why it hasn't been present since day one.

[quaint orchid]

Hey guys, what do you say. I am an old veteran playing Medal of honor back in the day...so you think hell let loose can bring back the same sensation?

[fleet topaz]

Not really. I played my fair share of MOH:AA back in the day and it is very much a run and gun shooter compared to HLL

[quaint orchid]

But you like HLL?

[fleet topaz]

Yeah, but I don't like it because it's similar to MOH, I like it because it offers its own type of experience. It's slower paced, more unforgiving, larger scale.

MOH is just like CoD or any other game. Learn the flow of the maps, post up, get your picks, etc. whereas HLL has an actually flowing battle going on.

[quaint orchid]

Sound interesting i will give it a shot

[dawn widget]

Hello, yesterday was day one for me. Played five rounds and got absolutely smacked. Only one kill the entire time, and I have to say, the immersion is so incredibly unique in this game, im going to have a hard time going somewhere else. Im hooked, i have no idea whats going on but im here for it.

[manic tapir]

Do we know if there’s going to be a campaign mode coming into the game similar to Rising Storm 2? Or Operations in BF1?

I haven’t looked too in depth at the roadmap but I was just curious

[manic tapir]

I was in your shoes about 15 in-game hours ago!

Take it slow, listen to your unit leader, and don’t be dumb and you’ll be fine!

Welcome to the war, soldier!

[dawn widget]

I’m all about PTFO, and the number one thing that brought me to this game what is the reviews saying the teams genuinely stick together and play the objective. That sounded refreshing and something that I have rarely experienced in gaming. This feels more like a chess FPS and I love that

[gloomy grove]

Yes. It's on the roadmap afaik

[quartz mason]

What do you recommend I play as. I don’t really understand the game objectives. I’m a bad shooter from long distance. I communicate well on voice chat and marking things on the map. I do well with scoped weapons or binoculars

I’ve just been playing tank but what about for infantry

[weary glade]

maybe SL? as long as u can keep yourself alive

[dim pulsar]

If you cant hit an enemy at 200 m with ironsights you shouldnt play anything but medic, support, or egineer

95% of weapons in this game have no optics

If you can read map and understand objectives, then squad leader role is good for you

[dull vigil]

would be great if the grenade bug was fixed. just sayin

[uncut jasper]

I hit 700 enemies at 200m with an MG before they see me because I have 700 hours in milsim games

game is still active,
still good is objectively wrong,
but is good now, is subjective

[nimble furnace]

Yes!! It’s a brilliant game😊

[keen hatch]

Ok cool, I also recently got a pc so I can finally run it

[dim pulsar]

Necessity does not override lethargy

[next oasis]

players who still use bearings as a callout...

😬

players who callout bearings over Unit chat...

😬

[keen hatch]

I need to learn all@this

[dim pulsar]

Pings have made that obsolete. Not that im discounting the idiocy involved

[next oasis]

SLs who callout bearings over SL chat...

Cardinal directions > degrees

"I pinged the enemys exact location"

😬

[hasty tinsel]

Degrees if I'm standing right next to someone

[dim pulsar]

Man that shit annoys the fk out if me

[next oasis]

why not just...
...shoot him????

[dim pulsar]

When they put the ping right on the enemy location and you cant see the ememy

[next oasis]

he could have easily just shot

[dim pulsar]

Some of them are crappy shots, i cant fault them

Plus the enemy might be crawling

[next oasis]

HLL players are truly another league, leagues way below any other randoms you'd find in other games.
idk what it is, there is something about the players of this game, they are unlike anything I've ever seen.

[dim pulsar]

But putting the ping right over them is dumb af

If you spot an enemy ping the ground 10 ft away or the roof

Ppls field of view encompases more than 20 m in every direction

[next oasis]

The real reason to use a ping is to see if your weapon is still capable of one-shotting the target in that range

🤫

hardcore
tactical
shooter

[dim pulsar]

I normally ping right after i kill someone to see if i hit new range record

[next oasis]

i do that often too

[dim pulsar]

Landed a 350m headshot on standard kar

[next oasis]

infantry renders out to 500m, I think my record is 441m

got footage of it somewhere i think

see if i can dig it up

[dim pulsar]

I cant see that far out

Literally one pixel for me once you hit 400m

Unless im using optics

Which is never do

Cause sniping is for poos

[next oasis]

mine was with optics tho, uploading now

[dim pulsar]

U poos

[next oasis]

[hasty tinsel]

Shoot first ping later

[sweet cliff]

You can get a lot of work done as support since you can help build garrisons which help win games

[next lava]

More than one enemy and you only have a bolt action, perhaps?

[next oasis]

who is even using a bolt action anymore

"I'm bad" would suffice

[next lava]

In some situations you want concentration of fire, or suppression... I dunno. I agree bearings aren't useful over a wide area and only make sense in prox chan, if it's even working.

Try it with a controller and get back to me, shits difficult beyond 200m

[next oasis]

gunning down targets, even multiple targets, is easier to do in HLL than any other multiplayer game.

yes, consoles are a very different experience to PC

[next lava]

Ok, maybe you have a Tommy and want a rifleman to one shot them at 250m

[next oasis]

primarily because of the differences in aiming ability

[next lava]

Plenty of reasons, but any bearings are usually relative to the observer, so useless for anyone not in close proximity

[south saffron]

I have a question will hll run on a hp notebook

That's all I have atm

[next lava]

Although I've gotten pretty good at calling out relative to the person I'm telling.

[next oasis]

people get too caught up in thinking of words to say rather than just shooting the target

[next lava]

Yeah, I wish for gyro aim on controller, at least of get a little closer to mouse accuracy, and probably more immersive, like an actual rifle grip

[next lava]

Agree, I do both... "contact front" while returning fire and taking cover (or getting KIA)

Otherwise it's just "target down", if anything, yeah?

[next oasis]

dont need to say anything

too many HLL players equate talking a lot to being effective

[next lava]

Depends if you want your unit to know where they're coming from?

The more effective you become, the less you need to talk, agreed

[next oasis]

spawnpoints maybe,
individual targets, nah

Spawnpoints are the 'players' of the match, not the soldiers.
It's a game about spawnpoints

[next lava]

Especially when everyone in your unit knows the drill, so to speak, and trusts everyone else to perform their role

Yeah, taking and holding ground... kills are just "relocate enemy to nearest spawn point"

[next oasis]

really gamey stuff

[next lava]

Yes, that's the game. Not many would play an actual mil sim would they... >99% hurry up and wait, <1% combat

Although those community YOLO events intrigue me, you know how those work?

[coral blade]

I wish the game didn’t default you to teams

I keep getting defaulted to the Americans for some reason. I’d like at least one game as the Germans

And they still need to fix foliage

Turn shadows on low and foliage in medium and I’m seeing people like 200 meters away again

[unkempt storm]

There is some sort of auto balancing I believe on subsequent matches, after the first match you join where you're able to choose. Other than that it mostly switches everyone. You can always change teams after the time limit though, if spots are available

[coral blade]

That’s what I have to do every game

It’s just kind of annoying

[unkempt storm]

maybe you're just too good

dial it down a notch

[coral blade]

Lmao absolutely not

That’s why it shouldn’t be happening

[viral wasp]

Playing this game more passively really is the move to get more kills

[nimble furnace]

Hmmm, Not a team player, I see🧐

[viral wasp]

....my team was on defense

[coral blade]

Pretty much this

If you just sit you pick people off

Playing aggressive I thought would be the most fun. It isn’t

Because it’s just a whole lot of dying

It’s better to sit like 200 meters away

And pick off stragglers and people running

[viral wasp]

That's it. I stopped playing super aggressive and just took my time, read the map and moved accordingly

Ended up getting into a position on St Mere eglise where the Germans smoked the church courtyard and ran past me in a house

Racked up ten kills in a minute

[coral blade]

Yeah it’s just the only way to see people too

People say “oh my god you’re not helping anyone just looking for kills” but attackers do the same shit

Attackers literally lay down in some grass and shoot people as they advance and try to flank

[viral wasp]

I smoked a whole team in a trench trying to hunt our tank twice just sitting in a bush

[coral blade]

Yup exactly

Attackers barely move in this game

They move inch by inch

[viral wasp]

It's just getting into zone

That's all it is

[coral blade]

And they usually wait for artillery

They sit somewhere in the zone

Artillery comes

Then they move into the zone’s defensive position

If they don’t have any artillery or strafing run

They just sit behind bushes

And wait for defenders to try to flank them

I don’t blame them tho

The graphical options in the game are still broken

You can do so many tweaks so you can just see people 200 meters away

Since the foliage vanishes

[viral wasp]

Interesting

[coral blade]

Let’s say you’re running in a field

If someone is in a house 200 meters away

They see you running on flat land

There’s no foliage covering your body

It’s just a soldier running on a flat texture surface

And then you turn off shadows to low

So people sitting in houses

Their entire body glows

As if the sun itself is in the room

[viral wasp]

I might try that lol

Get some extra fps out of it too

[coral blade]

I pick people off easily because the Window shows as black

And then you see a bright lit soldier

Move into view

It’s the easiest thing ever

You get better performance and an advantage

[nimble furnace]

Different tactics for different situations. Sometimes I just run in, smoke and guns blazing, stab, stab, twist, kill.😊

[coral blade]

Turn SSAL off as well

Shadow low, SSAL off, foliage medium. Motion blur off

And use community TAA

[viral wasp]

I’ll give this a shot when I hop on later today.

[velvet rapids]

whats the difference between community taa and recomended taa

[coral blade]

People swear by a sharper image quality. You can search it up but that’s the main consensus

[still vault]

One is a TAA solution put together using Reddit feedback or other outlets. Its aim may be to have TAA that both exists and is well-performing and clear, which conventional TAA solutions tend to not be if accounting for ghosting.

Recommended TAA is something Black Matter Pty Ltd put together. It may have been the default solution originally.

Clarity TAA is another Black Matter solution, and its idea of sharper image quality. However, it may also be ill-performing.

[velvet rapids]

Thanks for the answers but besides TAA, what are the best settings for more visibility

[still vault]

Turning everything to Low or Off or Disabled, except for maybe Texture Quality depending on how much GPU memory there is to spare, and Epic View Distance.

[inland cradle]

Came back into the game, is there anyone recruting?

[atomic pulsar]

#pc-divisions-recruitment #console-divisions-recruitment

[ivory raven]

Can’t wait for the heavy heavy machine gun

[dim pulsar]

Without deeper penetration, a heavy mg will not be as good as a light mg

So what youre really waiting for is an indepth penetration feature

Im just now enjoying the fact that soft wood objects are penetrable

Properly penetrable *

[sweet cliff]

Heavy MG might be usable depending on how much extra protection you get off using it, it's easy to shoot people off light MGs

[dim pulsar]

The lmg suffices for killing people and doesnt take long to disable vehicles

What would be the added benefit of hmg in terms of relevance to this game

[uncut jasper]

Can’t wait to one-shot people harder

Maybe they get insta-gibbed at 200m

Free 40s respawns for everyone who doesn’t see me first

[dim pulsar]

I can only hope

[unkempt storm]

Yikes

[hasty tinsel]

More ammo, with more protection, and a more stable firing platform (tripod).
A step in the right direction would be reducing the total ammo count for lmgs to feasible levels.

[dim pulsar]

Are you saying hmg will have front plate armor?

🤔

[hasty tinsel]

I was thinking more sandbag emplacement

But armor shield would apply to something like the half-track

[vast vale]

@here any good server whoose regulars are not braindead people who does their own thingie

or squad leads who are shy and absolutely leaving when u deman spawn point

[hasty tinsel]

7th cav, dab

[dim pulsar]

Is this assumed or are there actual mentioned designs

[hasty tinsel]

Assumed. It's the only way I can see tripods as being viable.
The lmg has the "freedom" to be placed smartly to minimize your target profile

And I assume whenever possible hmgs were placed in fortified nests irl

[dim pulsar]

Assumptions go a long way with black matter

[plucky basin]

Hi

What is conscript?

[warm veldt]

https://youtu.be/J07JMCXJRok

[dim pulsar]

🎄

[low star]

Yo, I've been playing the game for like 2 days now

Jumping around various servers

How come no one communicates like at all?

There's no strategy planning at the start, no ones saying what roles, telling strats or anything??
Everyone just jumps in a random truck, goes to the front and fights, then there's no spawns, then someone throws one down.
Not even during fire fights, no one communicates?

Have I just been unlucky or is this common?

And in my like 5 matches and 3.5 hours of playtime, I've yet to see a single medic xd

[dim pulsar]

Playing hll is like driving around in the middle of the night looking for some booty, sometimes you get lucky, alot of the times you dont, but you always end up hating yourself

I hope that analogy makes sense

Some guy made a better one but i think his got deleted

[dawn widget]

Most of the time I have squads that communicate but overall it’s not like our entire team is immersed in some grand battle plan. It’s more so squads using their own independent tactics along with common sense maneuvers. Like me and my friend often times go off on our own from our squad, mainly whenever we can’t respawn close to them, but we still try to follow stuff to help the team and aren’t aimlessly running around

I don’t think people generally take it that seriously

And I have a few more hours than you of experience

I’m sure there are more “roleplay” or “tactical” whatever you want to call them style regiments you can jointhat probably do that. I mean I’m not really sure what regiments do tho, if they’re like in some games where everyone hops on at once to participate in an organized battle or it’s more like just finding people to play with so you’re not alone

But the general populace I’d think it’d be safe to assume it’s not very common at all For team wide communication and strategy

I haven’t had team play as bad as what you’ve describe tho

Except for maybe one game

I don’t have a huge problem with it. it can be annoying at times but at some point if you get too immersed it can be more work than actual fun, like when some guy in war of rights legit told people before joining to read some military tactics book, I shit you not, that was written in like 1861. To me that stuff isn’t fun and I think most people like HLL for the gameplay style, the one shot one kill, slowish paced gameplay (as in not run and gun), realism, with dashes of roleplay, not the whole strategy aspect and winning side of it. At least that’s what I like about it

[low star]

Oh no, I absolutely understand, but I'm coming from SQUAD, where people also 7/10 times, play casually, but again, they create some kind of tactics or at least plan of where to build what and if they spot something, they tell someone to mark it.
Like here, I go on a specifically English server and barely anyone's talking 💀
Maybe I'm just unlucky

[dawn widget]

Perhaps

I’ve dabbled in realistic and tactical games like HLL before and really all of them have this issue of a lack of communication and strategy if you will

The only way I’ve been able to find how to “fix” this is you have to find a group of players to play with who will communicate, who will make tactics, and this players are hard to come by sometimes. Basically, seek out people who share this interest, and befriend them rather than having to rely on randoms all the time

Realistically it’s impossible to expect a team of 50 players to all be in sync, but yeah I hear what you’re saying with at least there being more squad communication

[dim pulsar]

Damn vidya games, forcing me to make friends

[dawn widget]

👆

[unkempt storm]

It’s my right as a citizen to not have to have friends, they’re taking away my g**damn RIGHT

[low star]

Just me or do they need to up the size of the map symbols? For like enemy tank and stuff?

[dim pulsar]

They need symbols for trucks and half tracks

[dim pulsar]

When you look on the map and see a non-officer get on artillery

@low star u can play medic for start

if you think its lacking

[low star]

That, indeed, isn't a bad idea

Sadly, I can't rez myself

[torpid peak]

Hello there! Little question for you. If I have some basic knowledge about game, do I want to start play more oriented classes what I want to learn or its better first be more experience in tactic and strategy? For now I just play rifleman and I want to be sure I am ready for start learning different class without being too much burden for squad and team in general.

[meager void]

Definitely try out new classes and don't worry about being a burden at all. Of course there is a learning curve but once you make that jump to learning other classes the more of a contributor you will be for the team!

[meager void]

I would be happy to hop in a few games with you as well and offer what I know

[manic tapir]

Anytime you’re trying something new, just communicate with your unit leader and ask questions! They’ll help you out.

As someone else who is new, this has to be the most helpful community I’ve seen in a long time.

[torpid peak]

Ok, thank you very much both of you for your help! That was all I need to hear so I definitely try different class 😄

[low star]

How do I dismantle infantry mines?

[autumn rose]

Just drop a grenade on them

[low star]

Not the best way if I'm trying to be sneaky and it's like 1m in front of me

[autumn rose]

It's your only way

[meager void]

Walk over them

[low star]

That's a bit rubbish

[limpid vapor]

Shoot them or grenade them I think is the only way

[autumn rose]

They dont die to bullets anymore

Has to be some form of explosion

[gloomy grove]

AP mines can be shot. AT mines cannot

[heavy belfry]

does the game have directx 12?

[gloomy grove]

Launch parameters -> -DX12

Can cause crashes so run it on windowed full screen to lessen them a bit

[still vault]

Only technically.

There is only the Stock UE4 pipeline for it. It is not explicitly targeted by the game compared to DirectX 11.

[heavy belfry]

should i do that?

[still vault]

You do not need to use the Refresh rate one. By default it is usually set to 0, so it is whatever is already default.

The rest are to preference.

[heavy belfry]

i played it with -dx12 alone and had a huge fps boost

but i read that the game can crash\

so having that in my launch options as well as having my game set to windowed fullscreen, should be all good ye?

will run completely fine with no crashes?

[still vault]

Not promised.

[heavy belfry]

big as in player count?

ton of full servers

lot of people

[dawn widget]

Hello, do you know any Spanish speaking community about this game?

https://tenor.com/view/boo-boo-this-man-gif-4868055

[keen sequoia]

Welp, watched several guides
Time to start on the christmas present

[cursive river]

whats the best dlc

[hasty tinsel]

1. What is the reasoning behind your deploy wave timer resetting instead of keeping it at 0 so you dont feel the pain of having to wait another up to (40?) seconds to respawn. Why has Hell Let Loose chosen this path for respawns?
You can spawn on op in 20 seconds. The average time to respawn is less than that
2. Why does this game still not have a ranging feature?
It does, middle mouse button. The laser rangefinder is dumb for a WWII game.
3. Frequently, the difference in skill between teams means that the more skilled team uses the free mobility across the map afforded by capping an objective to steamroll the other team. This usually creates a loop of being unable to reinforce a cap since in their wake the enemy destroys all garrisons and there are frequently not enough garrisons around to stop the enemy so you're left to spawn back at HQ which if you miss the spawn wave you have to sit and wait and watch the enemy cap all your points.
The hq spawn wave is like, 6 seconds. The first part is accurate but what game are you playing

[still vault]

In response to @meager pelican, in the event he did not see it already.

[meager pelican]

1. as much as you can spawn on an op in 20 seconds, having to watch the timer reset because you didnt click the spawn button in time is draining. Besides, not always can you count on the best spawn to be your OP which locks you into spawning on the garrison, and still having the respawn wave timer not reset to 40 would probably be preferable if possible, so I'm curious what Black Matter's reasoning for having it the way it is.

2. Ranging as in sighting in your AT weapon, not as in a laser rangefinder. Having to take an arbitrary shot at a tank 150 meters away feels bad when you know and especially in the bazooka's case can see the weapon is able to be sighted farther than for a 50 meter shot.

3. so now I have to run from the place I spawned at when the match began to the point we are now contesting while the enemy is capping it, whether that be cap 3 from spawn or 1.

[limpid vapor]

Range finding and ranging are two different things. I believe the poster was talking about sight adjustment for the tank sights, shoulder rockets(for all intents and purposes) and potentially the AT guns. It would be quite nicer than having to lob a rocket even though on the model itself, it has ranges on the iron sight that are unusable. Also in respect the American tank sights have an actual usable ranging ladder while the German sights were radial dial-in and are currently unusable.

[tall orchid]

top = 100m
mid = 200m
bottom = 300m

ezpz

[meager pelican]

this

[limpid vapor]

ok but if you ADS you cannot actually adjust it.

[still vault]

You just look up instead instead of shifting the sight in the viewmodel.

[tall orchid]

line it up before you ADS. it doesn’t change.

[limpid vapor]

Good to know.

I feel that's abit lazy and clunky but sure.

[meager pelican]

I agree

[still vault]

It may not be as intuitive as scroll wheel sighting, but it will have to do for now.

[tall orchid]

all I offer are solutions, I’m not here to agree or disagree with gameplay criticisms

[limpid vapor]

I mean hey, I learned something new.

I honestly thought it was just aesthetics

[meager pelican]

You say it will have to do for now but I feel like sighting in of anti-vehicle weapons is really not talked about to a problematic extent

[tall orchid]

nawp. it’s functional

[meager pelican]

So what's your solution to the Panzerschreck?

[tall orchid]

be close 🤣

for what it’s worth, the bazooka and the shrek have similar ballistic trajectories

• the model itself has reference points for ranging

top of the plate, middle of the rivet, bottom of the plate

[meager pelican]

idk if Im allowed to post videos here?

[tall orchid]

oi

the top of the ping diamond is your ranged point

[meager pelican]

More like this?

[tall orchid]

got pretty goddamn close

[meager pelican]

I'm trying to kill or make a tank go away with 2 shots, when even two side-shot hits would likely not be enough to kill it.

[tall orchid]

not a heavy anyway

[meager pelican]

As much as I appreciate the help, I don't understand why when AT weapons seem to be the only man-borne weapons with drop, when you can't properly sight them. It seems to be a breeding ground for frustration and feeling like you let your team down.
