[novel verge]

yeah, I just got VR

and I didn't know the VR market was saturated in so many kids

[nimble furnace]

Don’t play VR Games that are for kids then

Play over 18’s games

[novel verge]

Doesn't matter. Kids play all VR games.

[nimble furnace]

Only because of bad parenting

[dawn widget]

There’ll probably be a PS5 Pro soon enough so have to factor those upgrades in too

Then again there’ll be a 40X0 this year too so it’s the same on both sides

[nimble furnace]

Crypto miners, should have to run through busy city centres naked, whilst being pelted with eggs and tomatoes 🍅 for ruining the gaming industry.😏

[spiral compass]

I support this

[novel verge]

Once NFT/Cryptos die it'll be back to normal

or the industry hopefully grows to meet the demand

[autumn rose]

I doubt Crypto will die

NFT's probably\

[novel verge]

NFT's forsure are a cash grab

Only time will tell with crypto that shits a gamble thus far

[autumn rose]

Atleast crypto has a basis

[nimble furnace]

I’m annoyed at crypto because I didn’t get in on it from the start😅

I hope that bubble bursts dramatically 😏

[dawn widget]

There’ll be more opportunities and look on the bright side, if you’d got in at the start, you might well have sold in 2015 or something, or dumped during one of the scarier dips, and now you’d feel even worse

And then… there’s this guy https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2021/12/13/half-a-billion-in-bitcoin-lost-in-the-dump

[autumn rose]

yeah

Honestly crypto could be a really good thing

but its use is pretty bad rn

[gusty junco]

EAC compatability is supposedly on the no-specific-timeline roadmap 😉

[gusty junco]

Except proof of work is already dying

[still vault]

NFTs are used to DRM coin. Avoid.

[still vault]

Crypto survives depending on how many countries attempt to ban its use and mining.

[deft trail]

Crypto will die when the government finds ways to audit it

Its used by the wealthy and criminals

Not going away anytime soon

[still vault]

Declaring it as taxes, much like stolen goods, is already a thing.

[amber osprey]

Hey guys recently got HLL, do you guys know which servers in Oceanic and Asia region are English speaking servers?
I get kicked out of European servers due to high ping.

[nimble furnace]

Australian server’s 🤔… just look for the lowest ping with English name.

[slim fractal]

Sort servers based on your ping? You can also scout them beforehand here: https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/hll

[next lava]

I understand that sentiment, some people find the controller too difficult, and prefer the ease of aiming with a mouse pointer.

[noble oasis]

In a game like this, the pc players will just about win any engagement at ranges over console players

[crisp bobcat]

So which class can give anti tanks extra rocket?

[sweet cliff]

Any class with the explosive ammo box which depends on faction I believe, all level 3 supports have it, and I know some of the (all?) riflemen have it at a high enough level but I believe it differs a bit for the Soviets.

If you go into the Barracks view you can mouse over all the loadouts and see what everyone gets even if you don't have it unlocked.

[crisp bobcat]

Got it. Thanks

[sweet cliff]

But definitively level 3 support has it, the rest I don't know off the top of my head.

[deft trail]

Rifleman 2nd tier, support 2nd tier

[next lava]

I dunno, with the TTK so low, if the console player had good position and saw the PC player first they might win the first engagement... but once they've shown their position, game over.

[next lava]

So yeah, I agree "just about any"

[deft trail]

Pc player will just turn on cheats

[noble oasis]

yea but they would need help from aim assit

[deft trail]

:>

[gleaming drift]

Rifleman level 3 excluding United States

has explosive.

[next lava]

I play without aim assist, and high sensitivity... aim assist is a hindrance, unless you abuse it to find obscured enemy

[gleaming drift]

and german is level 6

[noble oasis]

so the 10 percenters?

[deft trail]

How is gameplay on console, do you have lots of players not knowing what they’re doing as well

[next lava]

I think mouse+kb would win 99% of "showdowns"... i.e. where they see each other at the same time.

[gleaming drift]

Never once have I run into a hacker

The anticheat works well enough

[deft trail]

Relax it’s a joke

[gleaming drift]

I'm quite relaxed

[noble oasis]

take enlisted from an example , enlisted "recently " enabled cross play, and all the pc players hate the consoles cuz they the bots have higher scores then them, and most of the time consoles just turn off cross play for a level playing field

its quite funny

[next lava]

Most people seem to spawn and run in the most direct route to the next attack objective

[noble oasis]

watching the team that have more consoles jsut disconnect

[deft trail]

Is there a lot of garrison building ?

[next lava]

There's usually one or two squads that know wtf they're doing though...

[deft trail]

I would say console cant keep up with pc players but if you only saw how bad sone pc players are at aiming

[next lava]

Quite often I'm on the only unit building garrisons, maybe there'll be one other, or a competent commander

[noble oasis]

why do you think that every one uses the FG 42 or a ppsh

[deft trail]

I will get matches where there are no commanders and no garrisons for the first 30 minutes

On pc

People will miss enemy garrisons right next to them, not spot enemy 100m in front of them, and sometimes let enemy run right pass them

[next oasis]

HLL draws in players who aren't good at FPS, or anything really

[deft trail]

Its like a cringe halfbreed between strategy fans and milsim, except theyre not good at any of it

Not

One

Bit

[next oasis]

very true

[noble oasis]

i think its more that its milsim gameplay in a acade Style mechanics

[dawn widget]

goddamn

[echo frigate]

Msg me when game gets good. Only shooter i can find on seriesx is Warzone. Every other game has blown. Pubg is a joke how do people even play that?

[dawn widget]

Have you tried Titanfall 2? Assuming they fixed its server problem.

[noble oasis]

titanfall one was better

[echo frigate]

Damn forgot about titan fall. I died installing pubg. Had it 60 fps mode. Not even close. Garbage visuals and. Controls. This SeriesX is an absolute monster. I rofld. Ill try TFall2. I hope to god its alright. Coldwar completely uninstalled. COD is hopeless. 2042 is the absolute worst BF ever. All the f2p warzone. Warships legends were horrible. Im so pissed rocket league wont transfer the TON of stuff I bought on Steam. Wtf is Vigor? Is that Dayz officer doofy? I feel trapped on a rocket that it wont let me launch. Rdo has been my greatest salvation but always solo it seems. Praying elden ring is Solid. I just dont get How Halo mp is fun to anyone. It feels so. Cut and dry. Battlefront 2 is good but nobody talks or sqauds.. New R6. Holy f so bored. Wow it looks good but uugh that gameplay and ur hp system what a fucking joke. Why tf is there no discord Xbox app. Wtf have devz been doing? Not even a utube music app? How tf? Are people just afk from life. Please tell me im not going nuts. I cant handle it.

[dawn widget]

another reason this can't be increased is because it would allow players to drive vehicles across any body of water, let alone walk. hat tip @sweet cliff . any increase would need some new mechanics (engine failure, and inability to walk up hills under water) to preserve the dangers

[sweet cliff]

Yeah, it's just a side effect that vehicles don't interact with water in any meaningful sense, they don't despawn any faster that I'm aware of, it doesn't damage the vehicle in any way, it just drowns the occupants.

[quick harbor]

Vigor is fun though

with friends

[quick hare]

What are some good tips for a noob squad leader

[gloomy grove]

Build spawns regularly.

Do you have a garrison to spawn on nearby if your OP goes? If not, build one.
Notice you have no one on defence? That's your job now.
Notice you have no offence? That's your job now.

[nimble furnace]

[storm pine]

Hello, is it true that kickstarter supporters are supposed to have gotten the "Silver Vanguard DLC" for free?

[sweet cliff]

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1647960/Hell_Let_Loose__Silver_Vanguard_DLC/ "Free for all current Hell Let Loose owners, or any customer that purchases Hell Let Loose before the 10th August 2021." I think you had to have added it to your account before then.

[storm pine]

ah right, so if you didn't click it

[sweet cliff]

"To celebrate all the incredible support you as our community have given us during the ups and downs of our Early Access period, we’re excited to announce that we’ll be giving all current owners of Hell Let Loose the “Silver Vanguard” DLC pack. "

from the dev brief about it, so yeah looks like.

[storm pine]

Oh wait nevermind!

Just checked my email and found an old mail with steam keys

[sweet cliff]

Even better!

[storm pine]

sweet, that was all

[turbid onyx]

How should I go about learning Important roles? Take for example playing recon. A bad recon can let the enemy artillery run rampant. A bad squad leader could mess up his teams garrys. A bad tank driver could lose the point for his team. A bad transport truck driver could lose his team the first point. A bad engineer would mean his team has very little supplies. You get the point

[spiral wigeon]

You already know the importancy of 'em all, what is your doubt, exactly?

You want a rank of difficulty?

[turbid onyx]

I have 30 hours in so I probably could be a squad leader and driving the truck isn't complicated. But something like recon is more complex. Should I just go into a regular server and just use the roles? And if I do poorly I do poorly

Or maybe should I go into a half full server where people don't care if can't take down the arty or you crash the truck

[fervent shuttle]

the main goal of Recon is to harass the enemies back line and spot and mark anything of importance like garry's and tanks, it's your job to destroy enemy garry's and resource nodes along with ensuring any supply truck player or engineer players have a bad day

[spiral wigeon]

You learn by either practicing or watching others errors and NOT DOING THE SAME. Pretty much
When I started playing, my class was rifleman and assault. But that went tedious quickly. The classes that might really impact are support, AT, Engineer and squad lead.
For those, you need practice. Because they need situational awareness and having the map displayed in the map all fuckin time.
For tanks, try tank commander seat first, then tank gunner, then tank driver. Thats the difficult one
For recon, just try playing it in a party or make sure ur sniper isnt a fuck up

[fervent shuttle]

Recon can also help with capping the next point when the active point falls

like your team could be capping yamki on kursk and your recon squad is at listening post ready to cap it when yamki is finished being captured

[turbid onyx]

Thanks for the help! One of My friends is gonna get the game and maybe some more of my friends. I'm okay at the game so I can guide them through the basics. When it comes to maps I'm thinking of sticking too Sme, smdm, carentan and stalingrad. People say to avoid the beach maps. I haven't actually played either start to finish but I did play Omaha and had a good time but I did join after we had taken the beach. I've played Utah but I can't really remember it well. Also just going to avoid forest maps and Kursk

[loud dune]

Commander role - Strafing Run.

Does it have friendly fire? (as Bombing Run does)

[deft trail]

Of course

Anything that kills will kill friendlies

[sweet cliff]

The only things you can't friendly fire kill in this game are vehicles, you can kill people out of vehicles but you can't blow up a friendly tank for instance.

[loud dune]

Understood. Thank you comrades

[sweet cliff]

You can't even put a satchel on a friendly vehicle for instance even though it won't kill the vehicle.

[loud dune]

Which can be a problem if the vehicle becomes stuck by an environment based obstacle 🤔

[deft trail]

Abandoned vehicles eventually blow up on their own

[sweet cliff]

Closest thing to a vehicle reset feature besides trying to wiggle your way out is to hit it with another vehicle.

[loud dune]

Does it depend on the engine running?

[deft trail]

I dont think so

I dont know how it works with a halftrack though

Cause halftracks are relatively new and they sorta are supposed to be left unattended

[loud dune]

Yes true

[loud dune]

Played a match yesterday. Had to abandon a Supply vehicle that got at a Strong Point. Darn thing stayed there over 30 minutes (being the Offensive match timer)

Engine was turned off too

[deft trail]

Would have to ask the devs for technical details, ive seen trucks blow up on their own

[solar orchid]

Good evening everyone. Brand new player here. Haven't even launched the game yet. Are there any resources I should look for to learn how this is played before I just jump in?

I see there is a guides channel that ill be checking out here shortly

also are there any groups with their own discord channel or do people mainly use the in game voice?

[loud dune]

First thing I suggest, adding the '-dx12' launch option. For many like myself, massive increase in frame rate

Plenty of guides. Check out YouTube too

[solar orchid]

Thanks for the tip - ill check it out

[loud dune]

Also. When you DO launch the game, spend some time having a good read of the 'Field Manual'. Explains the in's and out's of the game

Goodluck!

[solar orchid]

sounds good thanks!

[sweet cliff]

Vehicles time out after I believe 10 minutes when on map, they time out almost but not quite instantly when they're off map, engine running is meaningless AFAIK, and the destruction is actually damaged base, the vehicle starts losing health when nobody has been in it for 10 minutes, if you get in it it'll stop accumulating damage, it will still accumulate damage even if it's being repaired until someone gets in.

[sweet cliff]

10 minutes plus or minus? Not sure that I've ever timed it but it takes a while

[turbid sandal]

Hey guys! Im close to leveling up my rifleman to level 3. Should I continue leveling it up to 6? That way I get get the gewehr 43 for the german loadout.

Or focus on other classes?

[spiral wigeon]

Choose another class to lvl up. Specialized classes have more impact on the game.
Ex: support can drop ammo supplies, explosive supplies and garry supplies in the level 3 loadout

[silver hinge]

Add A-10

[dapper willow]

Don't know if right channel to ask, but does anyone know if there's a division that speaks English & has training/games early-ish? Not later than 6 PM CET? I'm asking because I'm based in Georgia, GMT+4, and so many divisions play really late for me.

[turbid sandal]

What clases are good to level up?

[spiral wigeon]

Medic and AT might be easier to start
Then support needs a great situational awareness and keep an eye in ur map constantly to see if ur team is losing any garry, op or flag. Also if your dumbass SL doesn't place a garry, you are the person who is gonna find another squad leader and order him to follow you to the best suited location for a garry. You are the boss at this specific task

[turbid sandal]

Anti tank huh?

[spiral wigeon]

For engineer, thats a role in the squad that may or may not play in the frontline. That depends on ur plan for the match

For tank crew, sit at the tank commander seat and learn the movement and how the tank roams around the map

Then gunner, so you learn how painfully and desperatingly slow turning your turret is

[turbid sandal]

Oooh. Gotcha. All to level 3?

[spiral wigeon]

Then driver, so you learn how hellish is to make half a second change of course in emergency situations pointed by the tank commander

[spiral wigeon]

For infantry it is nice to upgrade to lvl 3, tank crew not necessarily

But tank crew lvl 3 gets repair tool

[turbid sandal]

Im close to leveling up rifleman and medic to 3

Thanks for the suggestions

[spiral wigeon]

Np. Good luck

[olive eagle]

Probably best playing with UK guys

[dapper willow]

I know, but that's 11 PM + my time & games last 2/3 hours & that's sadly too late for me.

[spark tusk]

is there something that removes kills? i had a game where i got at least 10 but at the end it said i had 0 and 0 combat score. i didnt care because we won but im just curious if its just a bug or what

[quiet flint]

Most EU games we play start at 7pm GMT, you would be hard pushed to get a clan that plays earlier than that

[quiet flint]

They might have been healed by a medic

[deft trail]

You dont actually kill someone unless they give up, or get dismembered by explosion, shotgun or melee

[ocean pollen]

Anyone need a player around half 5?

[quick hare]

Squad chat works but proximity chat doesnt seem to be working... anyone else have this issue?

[formal linden]

I haven’t been on yet today, I know last night I didn’t have an issue

[light rock]

Me and my buddy are looking for a gunner regardless of skills

DM me

[wraith rivet]

none work for me sometimes

[pallid shard]

Having those issues as well rn

[warped socket]

So does anyone use the voip or is everyone just on discord servers? I've played two games now and havent heard a word and theres been only a couple of sentences in the chat

[nimble furnace]

People use the voip a lot

[tall orchid]

Vivox is taking a shit

[warped socket]

any server in particular? im dont have much time left before refund window and would like at least one game with some comms

[nimble furnace]

Pfft

All games have their voip problems from time to time.

[deft trail]

Dont really have a voip problem not sure what everyone is on about

[neat dragon]

Voip problems are random

[deft trail]

Havent had voip issue for like 8 months

[neat dragon]

Just go to settings in game and go to audio and reconnect microphone in the menu

[deft trail]

Havent had to do that

When i speak , it works

People not communicating is a problem tho

[neat dragon]

Well the problem is more prevalent on PC

[deft trail]

I am on pc

I just have the console tag

[neat dragon]

Well regardless a lot of people have the issue

[deft trail]

I used to have it back in early days of hll when whole servers would just stop working

[neat dragon]

When there is server wide lag. Voip breaks for a while for almost 90% of players on the server

Doesnt always happen

[deft trail]

I think personal voip issues might be related to their connection

[neat dragon]

Yes and no

Mainly due to server instability.

[deft trail]

When i try to play on my janky 5g connection itll drop voip, but ive never had issues on a land line .. ever

Never even seen whole server voip drop out

Not for a long time

[neat dragon]

I have... Same with friends with a Gigabit connection and low ping. It's mainly a server issue. But could be a individual problem like 5% of the time

[hoary bone]

yall know if its fixed yet?

[deft trail]

On my end, it was never broken

🤷‍♂️

[cinder sonnet]

its a shame the RPD never saw service until the end of WW2

it only went into trials in 1944, and the war ended before it could be used

[cinder sonnet]

because then we could've had more soviet MG options in this game 😖

[autumn rose]

did you just make a post and then reply your own post like it was an actual convo?

[warm knot]

it's a way to add to your post without editing it

[cinder sonnet]

i'm not under any illusion that it's a genuine conversation, it's just adding an extra point to it in a way that wouldn't fit in an edit

[cinder sonnet]

a viable option would be the SG-43 Goryunov though, it actually saw service in the war

although it seems it was used almost exclusively either mounted on a vehicle, or with infantry on dinky little wheeled cart, but it could definitely be used with a tripod as well

[sweet cliff]

Wiki says just the gun part weighs 30 lbs, that's kind of a fixed position sort of gun

[warm knot]

historical realism has already gone out the window, so why not

[deft trail]

Made during the russian invasion of finland

Or rather left over and used during the russian invasion

[cinder sonnet]

definitely fits the bill for auto-rifleman

[deft trail]

This game is not about historical parity, its about reimagined scenarios

[warm knot]

the russians already use the pre-WW1 mosin nagant

[cinder sonnet]

thats 5 pounds more than an MG42

while yeah, its not exactly viable to go waving it around, it's not a universe away from what's already in-game

I'd be willing to suspend my disbelief for it

[deft trail]

If it was available during the war, it should be used

🤷‍♂️

[cinder sonnet]

it would be pretty funny if you could use lend-lease equipment as the soviets

[deft trail]

You should be able to

Its dumb that you cant

[cinder sonnet]

But that would work better in a customizable loadout-based inventory system, rather than a kit system

say like Insurgency or Day of Infamy does

[deft trail]

But some proud russians out there are gonna be like “what is this american bullshit, we won war with soviet blood”

[sweet cliff]

I agree it's silly that people sprint around with 20-25 lbs guns

Hell a 1919 weighs 30 lbs and how many rounds of .30-06 do you get? I can't log in and look right now but the ammo alone is a significant weight

[cinder sonnet]

day of infamy had better systems on that front i'd feel

like, there was an actual breath management system

which affected your sprint stamina, how long you could hold in your breath to steady a shot/zoom, how shaky your aim was when winded, etc

and the amount of noise you made, on the account of not hyperventilating

interestingly, day of infamy went for a semi-realistic approach which locked certain weapons based off the map's setting/date, i.e no STG44 in dunkirk, but for balance reasons they always had certain essential weapons available (i.e PIAT), even when it was anachronistic; but honestly, i'd rather just have every weapon available at the same time, as it's a pain in the ass trying to remember

[hard fable]

when it comes to adding british

will they play on the same maps some US do?

since the US and the UK were fighting together a lot.

[sweet cliff]

There's at least two British maps in the works which would match what happened with the Soviets at release, they got two maps.

[hard fable]

damn, sad that there will only be 2 maps. 😦

[sweet cliff]

#new-recruit-barracks message

Unannounced Western Front Maps currently in development British forces - including 2 Operation Market Garden Maps Canadian forces - including 2 Falaise Pocket Maps Japanese forces - including 2 Pacific Theatre Maps Several NEW maps will be added to each of the above theatres and are in development now.

Timeline for release is unknown, I would expect no less than 2 maps when the UK update drops, when that will happen who knows, but UK stuff is on the 2022 roadmap: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/857962286428848168/930569503266451506/Screenshot_2021-07-29_001007.png

[spiral wigeon]

There probably will be a bunch of UK versions of existing maps

[sweet cliff]

So that's what they've announced regarding maps, my understanding is that making and polishing maps for this game is a significant amount of work.

Plus they're constantly going back and tweaking/fixing/etc. existing maps.

[spiral wigeon]

Aye

[sonic oracle]

maybe if soviet MG had the option to build an emplaced maxim?

[cinder sonnet]

that might be a fun way to spice up the MG meta

but i believe emplaced guns are already being added at some point in the future

[sweet cliff]

Heavy MG deployables are on the road map.

[sonic oracle]

oh didnt know they were on roadmap

yeah emplaced MGs would be awesome

[sweet cliff]

Not sure if they mean built by an engineer, or the MG class gets something they can plunk down, or if they would cost supplies, etc.

[cinder sonnet]

well, in real life, it would be towed by a truck into battle

[sonic oracle]

if they have the ballistic shield on it it'd be a fair deal for the soviets

harder to move but harder to get killed while shooting

if overheating was a mechanic it would make emplaced guns a lot more useful

but alas you can dump MG42s without end without causing any barrel issues lol

[cinder sonnet]

I think i saw an animation of a barrel swap

but for some reason its unused

https://www.reddit.com/r/HellLetLoose/comments/mtxxtc/why_did_they_abandon_barrel_change/

honestly tho it just seems kinda unfun, i'd prefer a more arcadey game, in that sense

[sonic oracle]

i guess

[sweet cliff]

I'm inclined to believe it's the balance factor pointed out in the comments re: the 1919

[sonic oracle]

RO2/RS2 had barrel overheating as a mechanic but it wasn't too much of an issue in RS2

[sweet cliff]

I remember it sucking when you overheated your 1919 in Darkest Hour

[sonic oracle]

they just made it so no guns could switch barrels and if you warped the barrel, it just fucked your accuracy instead of actually breaking the gun

but it was pretty hard to fuck the barrel in RS2, you had to dump 2 belts continuously without stopping

[cinder sonnet]

i mean if they wanted to make it a semi-arcade mechanic, it could be just be about managing heat, and having it stop letting you shoot if it got too hot

until it cooled down I mean

[sonic oracle]

like day of defeat

the RS2 way of making the barrel "warp" is a good option, gun is still viable at close ranges but is now drastically less effective at long distances

[cinder sonnet]

I don't really see what the point would be, it would just complicate the map pool

Personally my unlikely dream scenario is getting a token soviet vs japanese map, like manchuria or something

[sweet cliff]

Japan vs. anyone is a weird thing to try to do because Japanese tanks are such jokes.

Guess it's not really that bad with the armor tier system.

[cinder sonnet]

yeah im interested to see how that would work out

I'd imagine they have to have some kind of plan for remotely balancing it

[noble oasis]

maybe it could also use a ammo box for a reload?

[cinder sonnet]

the AT gun already comes with a full supply of ammo, so it would be a bit inconsistent

[noble oasis]

well, so can you just building out of thin air, where as with emplacements, they are more then likely going to add tripods that another role has to put down, so by allowing to consume ammo boxes for ammo, make it more realistic while making the ammo boxes alittle more usefull

[sweet cliff]

Whatever it ends up being I hope it's easy to reposition without it being a supply cost because people can come from so many different angles if it can't traverse 360* it might be of pretty limited utility.

[night jackal]

are maps in #hll-tacmaps ripped from files? i'm looking for highest possible quality maps

[sharp loom]

Don't think so as they're not as zoomable as in game, but it's still the highest quality we have

[cursive blaze]

I mean U could do Screenshots of each tile zoomed in ingame and then Stitch that together later.

[night jackal]

i mean the images on that channel (after opening in browser) are like 1920x1920 (just in discord preview they are smaller), im just wondering if you can rip even higher quality straight from game. need it for tool im working on

[sharp loom]

Try asking one of the art devs or a mod for the files, if you're working on a strategy tool that would be awesome

[night jackal]

theoretically, the tool itself is just map previewer so far (with custom definiable markers), strat editing is pretty limited as that wasn't my priority yet, but i have features im interested in written down already, so maybe within few weeks it will be nice and usable

but the game i made it for - i couldn't rip higher quality maps (max was 1000x1000, which is pretty limited to test it further, so im looking for alternatives (other games) to test it on 😄

I haven't gotten the game yet but I haven't really hit puberty that hard yet so my voice isn't deep like usually other people that fps games people judge me in other games and expect me to be some really toxic kid that screams a lot so they kick me before I even get to actually play with them | before I actually buy HLL I want to know is the community here like that

[night jackal]

if you arent toxic, the community is nice and welcome, at least on native to my language servers. met already few 'kids' who didnt have voice change yet, as long as you are ok and use mic instead of typing, people will be happy to welcome you 😄

[prisma peak]

Why are all the squads locked with a padlock? like you can join a game then not even get into one.

[dawn widget]

Alright i'll save up some money to buy the game :D

[night jackal]

honestly, the worst thing for this game is not using mic. there is no time to read chat when you get shot from multiple angles. your voice is least problem in that situation

second worst thing is full teams without squad leader. nothing more annoying than half of team running around the map without any contact and coordination :/

[dawn widget]

okay

[night jackal]

also if you do, make sure to watch some tutorials, or first hours of playing will be hell indeed

[dawn widget]

understood

[deft trail]

I find time. I also find time to look at the map

Im not even a fast reader

3 second shots, duck (either to hide silhouette or to reload) check map/text, relocate position a little, 3 second shots

When im bounding its the same principle, shoot while moving . Reach cover, reload/check map/text, move and shoot some more

[prisma peak]

Yes, agreed.

[nimble furnace]

A militant fellow

[prisma peak]

Why is there locks on the unit lists?

[sweet cliff]

The squad lead for those squads has locked, you can request permission to join but they have to let you in

[prisma peak]

It's every squad in every server, is it automatic when you create a unit and by default you have to request to join?

[sweet cliff]

No they have to specifically turn it on.

[prisma peak]

ok thanks

[sweet cliff]

Sometimes people just want to play with their friends, or sometimes they're doing something like artillery where they won't have a forward OP.

[prisma peak]

That's fair and i expect that. I just didn't expect it in every single squad in most servers. so it's near on impossible to solo q?

[sweet cliff]

No, but it just depends on the servers you play on. Sometimes it helps to hook yourself into the community around specific community servers.

[deft trail]

I lock my units for force people to learn to play as officers.

[sweet cliff]

Plus the games just better when you play with friends.

[deft trail]

I only invite reliable people.

People tend to not learn when they can have easy ride

[sharp pebble]

How is everyone?

anyone want to play HLL?

[cinder sonnet]

no, we dont like this game

[sharp pebble]

ok, everyone has the right to an opinion.

I respect that

[unkempt storm]

The most respectful dialogue I have yet seen here

[nimble furnace]

Must be new to social media.🤔

[turbid sandal]

Hey guys with the armour crew. What role should I go first as a beginner?

[cinder sonnet]

spotter is probably the one that won't get you killed first

[sweet cliff]

Gunner is probably the easiest if both the driver and spotter are experienced, you should hop on an empty server and try out each of the roles and get familiar with them, and the tank bible is basically required reading: https://theline.gg/tankbible/#top

[cinder sonnet]

or gunner, yea

[sweet cliff]

I'd take a gunner with like, 10 minutes of gunnery practice vs. a brand new spotter that has never been in a tank before.

[cinder sonnet]

oh if you mean just got into a tank for the first time, you'd be right

[sweet cliff]

Biggest things to remember as the gunner is what you have in the barrel, AP or HE, what you can kill with AP or HE, and what tanks you can kill from your tank, and where you need to shoot them to kill them.

and you can look up diagrams that show you the hold overs at different ranges for the different reticles.

You can absolutely screw up as the gunner, but I think it's the easiest role to start in, driving isn't tough but it takes a bit of practice to be effective, getting stalled can get you killed, and a good driver benefits from a lot of map knowledge which comes from playing a lot.

and being a good spotter isn't necessarily tough per se, but it also helps quite a bit to have the game knowledge to recognize tanks, especially when you only see a small part of them, and know in your head what your tank can do vs. that tank without having to think about it at all so you can instantly call for a disengagement or etc.

[sweet cliff]

You can also find tank videos on youtube of actual game play which may or may not help you at all, but also some peoples tank play on youtube can be ...lacking

Oh also learn the difference between a ricochet, non-penetrating hit that doesn't ricochet and a penetrating hit, you get both audio/visual confirmation.

Sup everyone new recruit having even finished downloading the game yet and ready for a great time this doesn't look as chaotic as fox hole so looking for some great moments

Welcome

[gloomy grove]

This game is far far away from Foxhole

[noble oasis]

Foxhole is not as good as it used to be :(

[warm jacinth]

gib BT back :(

[dawn widget]

What happened? I was looking forward to getting back into it when it eventually arrived on GFN. 😦

[tall orchid]

scope creep

[dawn widget]

that doesn't sound so bad. i thought we like complexity here

[tall orchid]

i like a bit of complexity. what foxhole has done ain't it. its closer to.. tedium?

[dawn widget]

can't argue with that. i needed to use G-Hub to cope with doing logi, and the gameplay is often not exactly thrilling. for me it's the involvement in such a big war that puts it up there with Rust as a lifekiller.

[dawn widget]

👍

[dawn widget]

whats this

[peak veldt]

Repair trailer

Means your tank friends don’t have to go all the way back home to repair or leave the vehicle

[dawn widget]

oh

can i spam outposts? like if i place one and then one more a minute later will the one i place before get replaced with the one i would place now

[peak veldt]

You only ever have one outpost and you can reposition it after a cool-down of about a minute. Part of being a good SL is to always think about smart places to redeploy your OP.

[still vault]

Think of them as Rising Storm 2's Squad Tunnels.

[green elk]

I’m currently taking a small break from the game so I don’t end up burning myself out haha, but other than that I’ve been having a lot of fun

[brisk grove]

It’s way more chaotic actually

[pallid patrol]

Mhh yes artillery, 93 kills , 1 vehicle boom and 11 OPs gone to ashes

[deft trail]

[dawn widget]

whats the capturing circle diameter? 20m?

[gloomy grove]

Strongpoint size depends on the point.

On warfare:
Cap sector size is 400x400m. You count as 1.
Strong point you count as 3.

On Offensive:
You only count when in the strongpoint.

[dawn widget]

thank you very much

[quick harbor]

To the guy that killed the enemy, he must be mad confused haha. This is my POV

[deft trail]

🤣

@next oasis

[silver aurora]

Is there not a chat tab? Just to talk to folks?

[sweet cliff]

In game?

[noble oasis]

What happened? I was looking forward to getting back into it when it eventually arrived on GFN. 😦
@dawn widget
Its more or less gone from a game that any one can play at any time of the day to a game that forces teamwork to get short term goals
In a mmo forcing teamwork from the randoms is no tv a good practice

[unkempt storm]

🤔😬

[haughty tapir]

Let me ask before I write feedback but, does the machine gunner for the USA's BAR have the bipod on it?

Reason I ask is after using the BAR, it feels like it should have a Bipod in all roles it's in, but even if not, the machine gunner at least should get it.

[sweet cliff]

It does not have it.

[haughty tapir]

Ah thanks for answering. I'm a terrible Machine gunner with the M1919, so I hadn't gotten it.

[uncut jasper]

Use it like a semi-auto rifle and you'll realize how ridiculously good it is

[silk nymph]

So I'm having fun with the game

but finding squads that communicate well is kind of a coin toss

[sweet cliff]

The only real way to solve that on a permanent basis vs. luck of the draw is to tie yourself into an existing community (or grow your own) and play with people you know.

[deft trail]

If you want a consistent good experience, u gotta squad up with friends

[quick bolt]

I find that if you start talking to people & asking questions it sometimes helps. Or if you start a squad & start talking. Or just being social in a general way

[trim leaf]

Hey I just got the games and want to play a vanilla experience, are the community servers unmodded? I would play official but they're all empty

[tender prism]

None of the servers are modded. They all are vanilla but have different rules.

[trim leaf]

Okay, that's good to know, thanks!

[tender prism]

Your welcome!

It helps to Join a clan too

[sweet cliff]

You want to play on community servers with active admins anyway, relying on vote kicks is an unreliable way to get rid of troublesome people.

[young pebble]

Always remember guys

Teamwork!!!

[deft trail]

🐒

What actually happens

[dawn widget]

ok thanks. ah well, hopefully the love for bmats is eternal and i can just drive around.

[noble oasis]

Good luck with that aswell, they have been noving the refinerys/factory's farther back away from the line while increasingly condensing all the players into a few areas

[quick hare]

Do bullets penetrate hedges?

[tall orchid]

[silver aurora]

Where is the general chat tab lol most discord have them.

[tall orchid]

if you're new i don't think you get access to #mess-hall

Which is a good thing, don't want to scare them.

[dawn widget]

I was just looking for that too

[gloomy grove]

[slim fractal]

What is even a general tab really.

Categories and channel names are quite clear and don't see anything relevant missing.

[spiral compass]

Hey, don't come in here making sense 😮 What's that all about ??

[spiral wigeon]

Might as well delete all official channels and just make dev posts in general

[silver aurora]

@dawn widget sometimes hard to find lol

[lethal shuttle]

I need mentor ha

[unique wagon]

Wait do Playstation and xbox people get to use Panthers

[tall orchid]

ye

[cinder sonnet]

idk, maybe im not woke enough to know how to use it, but i end up just missing all my shots

it's completely inaccurate even when doing tap firing

[still vault]

No.

The original M1918 BARs used during the war never had bipods. It was only after World War 2 that the A2 conversions with bipods and carry handles were made.

Think COD World at War, not Rising Storm 2.

[unique wagon]

Cringe guess I'll have to get it on console too

[still vault]

The Panther was removed for rebalancing.

Once U11 arrives on consoles, there will be no more Panther. Only the Panzer IV.

[still moon]

Any newcomers who are interested in playing Squad Leader, check out my new Ultimate Squad Leader Guide to help get you started! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VYWekPL7Xw

[haughty tapir]

From the research I’ve gathered that seems incorrect. The M1918A1 had a bipod but were low on production/conversion numbers and that was prior to 1938 as that’s when the finalized developments for the A2 were authorized

[unique wagon]

yea but still rather play it again before it removed forever

Since I don't think it's coming back

[sweet cliff]

The panther is supposed to come back in U12.

The reason they took it out was so they would have time to rework the stats to what they wanted, if that's the only barrier, and this is only complete and wild speculation, if it comes back in U12 I would think the consoles would get it (regardless of update #) when they hit parity

[dawn widget]

💻 P A R I T Y

[unique wagon]

Ok I won't buy then

[timid schooner]

hello

[autumn rose]

poor panfter

[lunar jewel]

The panther will be back dont worry

I wouldn't be surprised if they do a large reshuffle to tanks in general.

I mean, the 75 Jumbo is in the game and its literally useless

The soviet tanks need a balancing imo and another tank for their line up ideally

[sweet cliff]

The smoke rounds are great, if your team is crushing it with armor the jumbo 75 is great.

[lunar jewel]

The smoke rounds are literally the only appealing part of the tank. And even then if I want an area smoked I can work with infantry or artillery to smoke an area.

[sweet cliff]

It has its place.

[lunar jewel]

I would rather just take a 76

[sweet cliff]

Of course, but sometimes that's on cool down and you have lots of fuel and it's a thousand times better than a medium Sherman.

If you have other tanks on your team handling their heavies it is a fantastic infantry support tank and it laughs in the face of Pz IVs.

[lunar jewel]

Yea I suppose. Personally I never find myself using the 75 but that may just be me

[sweet cliff]

The 76 is always the better choice when it's an option if there's any chance you are going to run into a Tiger.

If you're rolling with another tank that's a 76 the 75 is great.

[lunar jewel]

I agree, if you are actively working with a friendly 76 then taking the 75 is an obvious choice. Unfortunately 2 tank squads working with each other strategically is basically non existent in pubs. Not that its easy to do with randoms.

[silver aurora]

If enough people are on mics most randoms will go along.

[lunar jewel]

You will be cluttering command chat or outside the range of local chat to talk. Ive suggested some sort of tanker crewman radioman loadout before to bridge tank crews.

[sweet cliff]

You can actually coordinate very effectively with minimal command chat clutter, you just move together but mostly operate independently.

[silver aurora]

I’m surprised this discord doesn’t have a stronger general chat population

[nimble furnace]

Which channel is general chat?🤔

[silver aurora]

They say #mess-hall

[sweet cliff]

Probably #off-topic-mess-hall

[dawn widget]

General chat back yet?

<@&365680483276816385> Have I been banned from other chats or something 😂

Back in the day I was fairly decent at Red Orchestra, but this is a next level above that

[median crane]

Mosin

[still vault]

Hmm, I see how it is.

In that case, BARs with bipods saw very, very limited use during the war. Carry handles were definitely not present until postwar conversions, though.

Sporting stock.

Any tips@on good barricade/bunker barbwire positions as engineer?

[teal tapir]

Anywhere I can go for specific tips/guides of what to do at the start of a map? I have a decent understanding of during a game but I feel a lot of my games are lost due to a poor start (console player)

[slim fractal]

Be one of the two drivers: either rushing a full transport truck straight into the strong point OR take the supply truck to build the first two forward garrisons for your team to spawn right in the beginning.

[sweet cliff]

Be the change you want to see in the world and be an SL or support (and if support badger SLs to build a blue zone garry with you) and get a blue zone garrison up that isn't from the supply truck at the beginning.

[teal tapir]

Funnily enough they are both roles I play pretty much all the time. To get a blue zone garri without supply truck means I need support players right? Which is the role I usually play if there is already a SL.

[crude jetty]

Thinking about buying this game, how is the multiplayer? has good anticheat? the gameplay is like battlefield?

[next oasis]

It's like an easier Battlefield Hardcore.

But you're not really doing things the same as you are in Bf

Combat is a lot less involved than BF

What I mean to say is it's nothing like BF

[sweet cliff]

There is only multiplayer FYI, no single player.

[sinful hamlet]

gonna possibly buy hll during the steam sale? been really wanting to get it but i could purchase insurgency sandstorm...instead, any thoughts ?? i really enjoy ww2 shooters etc. but i like the modern ones too

[next oasis]

really depends on what youre looking for

[glad pasture]

Check here: #pc-divisions-recruitment / #pc-looking-for-unit

[crude jetty]

Can you play this game solo?

[uncut jasper]

Like by yourself? Sure, most people do. You can have yourself in a solo squad, join a random squad, or start your own squad. Generally speaking, though, you don't need to hug your teammate's/squadmate's asses

[sweet cliff]

No, I mean you could run around on an empty server, but the answer is no.

I interpreted that as to mean single player sorry.

[uncut jasper]

Yeah, trying to see what they mean, specifically

[crude jetty]

no i meant like if you can go and fight by yourself, its multiplayer only, right?

[sweet cliff]

Yeah multiplayer only, but you can go join up with other squad.s

You could do it solo but you'd have to do it as a squad lead.

[deft trail]

Its beautiful

[crude jetty]

nice

[turbid sandal]

With firing your Rockets behind the tank, do you need distance or are you able to be close and just shoot?

[sweet cliff]

You can do it from any distance, there is no arming mechanic for the bazooka or panzershreck where they'll be duds, but this does mean you can blow yourself up if you're too close.

[turbid sandal]

Cause I tried shooting the rear armour of the T-47 with the panzershreck but it didn't blow up. Is it two hits or three hits?

[sweet cliff]

It's a minimum of 2 hits for a medium tank, 3 for a heavy.

https://theline.gg/tankbible/#3 this will be of interest to you.

Talks all about how to kill tanks with each of the anti tank weapons.

[sinful hamlet]

hey how come its so hard to get into a game?

[prime oracle]

Probably because everyone is playing

Only 100 people per server

But it’s worth the wait

[sinful hamlet]

evern 97-80s total servers are saying their full

[prime oracle]

Yeah because the queue

[sinful hamlet]

i got chu

lets hope it was worth it. im really hoping its good

[prime oracle]

It is

Trust me

[sweet cliff]

If you hop into a 50+ server and it's not late at night it should fill up quickly

[deft trail]

Problem is people would rather queue than seed

[nimble furnace]

I like low player counts sometimes, the games are less stressful and more enjoyable, especially with SL role.😊

[median crane]

I got into 2 games with player count of 10 and 13

[nimble furnace]

That is rather low

I meant 30/50’s etc

[median crane]

I like the chaos of full lobbies

[nimble furnace]

Me too 😊

[deft trail]

If its not a full match, its no fun

[quick bolt]

That's super useful. Though as I'm not a WW2 or military buff, I'd love it if it had all the tank silhouettes per faction side-by-side in there too.

[sweet cliff]

You can spawn all the vehicles on an empty server as the commander, would take a little work but you could gather some screenshots

[tropic nova]

how wide is the landing range of arty?

like within how large of a radius from the intended target

[sweet cliff]

20 meters, check out this video from our fine man @dusky notch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9GDAqklwWk

[deft trail]

Are you talking about blast radius or deviation

[sweet cliff]

As to how big the actual splash is, I could not definitively say, but some things require direct hits, like you can do track damage to a tank without a direct hit, but you'll never deal hull damage without a direct hit.

Trucks, half tracks and I believe recon (any 'light' vehicle) should take proximity damage from artillery.

I believe that was a U10 video, I'm too dumb to see the upload date on youtube, but it shouldn't have changed (or was not advertised as being changed) in U11.

[tropic nova]

i meant deviation

thanks

[dusky notch]

Thanks for the reference! And for helping other people out!

[tropic nova]

thanks for the video

[loud dune]

Ditto. Great vid!

[blazing torrent]

What are nodes?

[sweet cliff]

So there are three types of resources in the game, munitions, manpower and fuel. They let the commander use abilities (by resource type), munitions also allow AT guns (5 munitions) and artillery (3 munitions for HE, 5 for smoke) to fire.

Manpower is drained when people spawn in (amount varies by class, rifleman is the cheapest).

The team can build up to 3 nodes of each type, manpower fuel and munitions, but each individual player can only build 1 of each, each node generates an additional +10/min of its resource type, and the team has a base generation rate of +30/min of each type.

The various commander abilities include things such as spawning vehicles (trucks, half tracks and tanks), dropping airheads, increasing resource generation, converting resources between types for a fee, the recon plane, bombing run, etc.

Also nodes generate you XP (for whatever role you are at the time it's giving you XP) every time they generate resources so they're a really effective way to level up classes.

[blazing torrent]

are they in set spots?

or they get built

[sweet cliff]

Players build them using the first engineer loadout, you get a little wrench, you can play them anywhere in friendly (blue territory) and each node requires 50 supplies to build (obtainable from another support player, or yourself swapping roles, a supply truck or an air drop from the commander).

If the sector they're built in (the two grid columns or rows associated with a point) is lost, nodes are instantly destroyed, satchels can blow up nodes and also players can manually remove nodes, friendly or enemy.

The wrench puts down blueprints (a green translucent version of whatever you're trying to build) that are then actually built when you hammer on them and supplies are within 50 meters.

Other roles have the hammer too but only engineers get the wrench. Nodes of the same type also can't be built within 50 meters of each other.

[blazing torrent]

and middle mouse button is the only way to spot right?

or is that pinging

[sweet cliff]

That's pinging, so the red triangle you see is a 'ping' which gives you the exact distance to the ping, you see your squads pings and they see yours, the squad leader can drop marks on the map, either directly through the ping/binocular system or by right clicking on the map, pings also show up on the map so you can ping something, like a garrison or tank and your SL can drop a mark, then all the other SLs can see the mark.

[eternal anvil]

This is music to my ears. ❤️

[fresh plaza]

hey, is it alright as a noobie to hop on artillery if we need it? is it something that should get permission from the commander first since i'm pulling from the team's ammo supply?

[unkempt storm]

don't necessarily need permission, but you'll need to wait for markers to know where to put it

and if command asks you to stop, please stop lol

[main bough]

@quick harbor - Do you have any Steam Launch Options?

[warm knot]

carentan is known to have these invisible walls and objects unfortunately

[sweet cliff]

If you have invisible stuff on Carentan you need to verify your game files, it's a known issue with some people past U11 and verifying should fix it.

[quick harbor]

I assume so, when next map loaded everything is back to normal. I was able to see people through walls, tried shooting at them and they were confused.

[next oasis]

good lord that framerate

🤮

[narrow bay]

Im thinking about getting the game, I have two questions. Is it easy to find servers? and Is it ok if im going in solo?

[next oasis]

it looks like it's culling the platform that lines up against the tracks. You're seeing through an invisible wall

[next oasis]

there are plenty of servers. yes you will be ok

[narrow bay]

alrighy

[unkempt storm]

I expected a much more sinical response, I'm actually impressed Chum

Yeah I was super confused since it was my first time playing the map. Someone here told me to change my gfx settings, I relaunched and changed from High to Epic, joined another Carentan and it was fixed (even when I dropped back down to High). 🤷‍♂️

[pine crag]

hi

im new

Im thinking of getting the game

[sweet cliff]

It's fun, you should.

[pine crag]

i was gonna ask, is it still fun if i dont have friends to play with

[glad pasture]

If you’re willing to communicate with a working headset and mic, you’ll make more friends in game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaY27yiOPPA

[pine crag]

ohhh alr

[sweet cliff]

It certainly can be, but like many games it's better with friends, but there are also a lot of community servers, and a lot of those have discords associated with them so you can tie into an existing community and find people to play with.

[pine crag]

yea im tryna convince some friends to get it with me

[sweet cliff]

If you read the new players guide it'll give you a pretty good idea of how to play the game, watching youtube or twitch is good but the videos might not cover some important game concepts: https://www.reddit.com/r/hellletloose/comments/q23r8m/_/

Or at the very least it'll help you figure out what's going on if you watch videos, how spawns work, etc.

[dawn widget]

whats the diffrence between "warfare" "offernsive GER/US"

[sweet cliff]

Warfare is a back and forth fight over 5 points, the team that either caps all 5 before the time limit, or holds 3+ of the objectives at the end of the match wins, in offensive you can't recapture points once they're taken and one team is always defending and the other always attacking, the attackers have to capture 5-0 to win.

So when you have a 'German' offensive map that means they're attacking and the allies are defending, and vice versa.

Almost everything is the same between game modes but there's some minor differences, for instance on offensive you only count towards capping a point if you're in the strong point (black circle on the map) where as in warfare you count in that (you count as 3 people actually) as well as the 4 square surrounding the point.

[dawn widget]

i see, thank you sir

[glad pasture]

Check out the Roadmap:

[dawn widget]

idk what half of these things are but thta you

[sweet cliff]

The roadmap is a list of upcoming features, some of those are already in the game as of U11.

[dire swallow]

looking for a place to learn this game and really dont want to spend hours watching videos any suggestions?

[sweet cliff]

Out of that list we have so far: The FG-42/Shotgun, Pz IV, some new cosmetics and some sound effect changes.

[sweet cliff]

Read the new players guide, this this room up with questions https://www.reddit.com/r/hellletloose/comments/q23r8m/_/

Some content creators like monoespacial amongst others have plenty of handy videos on specific subjects, you don't have to watch hours.

but the new players guide is a short/fast way to get the core concepts into your brain.

[nimble furnace]

Until we have the matrix upload functionality for our brains 🧠 learning takes up time I’m afraid.

[sweet cliff]

Fundamentally the game revolves around building and defending spawn points and destroying the enemies spawns, because that lets you sustain more cap weight than them.

[haughty plover]

hey I'm new to the game and I have a question, is there an xp bug? I played a few games and I'm sure I got some xp but now I'm back to level 1 and my role is also rank 1 without any progress

[nimble furnace]

You’ve been caught cheating 🤭

[haughty plover]

what? no I'm not lol

[nimble furnace]

It’s just a bug

[haughty plover]

with some servers?

[nimble furnace]

The game.

[haughty plover]

damn lol

any fix?

[sweet cliff]

Are you on PC or console? There was some console stuff happening at release.

[haughty plover]

I'm on PC

[sweet cliff]

I'd try relaunching your game, on PC all that stuff is tracked through steam.

Or exiting steam entirely and relaunching it if that doesn't fix it.

[nimble furnace]

Sign in and out of steam 🤔

[sweet cliff]

Actually here you go: #tech-solutions message

from #tech-solutions

[haughty plover]

admin mode? 🤔

[nimble furnace]

Run as administrator

I do it for both steam and the game, it makes my game run a lot better IMO

[sweet cliff]

If you find the HLL executable on your drive you should be able to set it to launch as admin in the properties.

[haughty plover]

I just did it and my progression is still 0, so all of my xp are already gone? I just have to launch the game like this next time?

[sweet cliff]

Shouldn't ever be gone since it tracks it through steam and you accumulate it, you could try scrolling through #tech-solutions and see if there's any other posts that might help.

[haughty plover]

hmm so it's like the game doesn't sync with steam? I got the achievements tho

[sweet cliff]

Yeah you earn the XP as you play, not just when the round ends so if you ever earned it it should be there but for some reason it isn't realizing that you have it, which is why I'd try things that force it to reconnect to steam.

[haughty plover]

I haven't found a fix but thanks for the advice sir

[patent condor]

if only they will add the t2 tank

[sweet cliff]

"The T2 tank never saw combat nor left prototype stages and due to lack of funds was not mass-produced with only one built in 1930 by Rock Island Arsenal." 🤨

[median crane]

Bob semple tank would be better

[deft trail]

[main bough]

@quick harbor - Remove all your launch options then relanuch and return to same location and see if you have same issue. I think the issue is tied to the -dx12 option.

@haughty plover - Re-Verify your game files. Exit Steam completely. Relaunch Steam and check for Steam Client Updates. See if that fixes your issue. 😉

[haughty plover]

do I have to finish a match to check? because I still have no progression

[sweet cliff]

You can watch your class level progression on the deploy menu, little small bar under it and you see the class level on the right

[haughty plover]

not loadout menu?

[sweet cliff]

Player level xp progresses faster than class level though

Sorry loadout menu yes.

[haughty plover]

yeah they all have 0 progression

[main bough]

It might possibly be the server you are frequenting. Usually though folks have seen this bug but I'm assuming behind the scenes you are still capturing the XP. At some point you'll just play and everything will be back to normal.

Are you always frequenting the same server?

You get points but not all that much when just playing and if you quit before the end. Whereas if you stay until the end and possibly even wait till the next map comes up. This is what I do. You get tons of points etc. for WIN\LOSS and any commends and other XP which is extensive compared to just the normal points gathered beforehand.

[gray zenith]

Is there any sort of motion blur toggle option that i am not seeing. Sometimes it seems worse than others, have a 2070ti and even turned settings down from epic same issue.

[sweet cliff]

You can also adjust the anti aliasing settings too.

[cedar thorn]

Hello guys! I want to buy the game but i need first see server list. i from Yakutia for play normal ping. question, you are have server's RU country or only EU.

[sweet cliff]

https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/hll?countries=RU

Also see #enlist_language if you click on the Russian flag it'll open up some Russian text channels here I believe.

[cedar thorn]

thank you 👍

[sweet cliff]

You can also search for other countries on there, I know there's some Chinese servers.

[cedar thorn]

i see JP servers 👀

from russia. RU 4800km and JP 3000km 👍

[sweet cliff]

👍

[gray zenith]

Well seems with motion blur off i still get some t.t will have to tweak aliasing

[haughty plover]

I think it was because of the server, I did all the fix solution and I changed server. Right now I already got my progression. Thank you sir.

[still vault]

If you can name the server which failed to give XP progress for Black Matter whitelisting purposes, that may be ideal.

[haughty plover]

ah okay, where do I report this?

[cosmic roost]

is there cross platform play between xbox and PC?

[gloomy grove]

No

[cosmic roost]

thanks

[still vault]

Maybe just here, or in the #tech-support channel.

[dense rampart]

Hey, where can I find German artillery on Hill 400? I'm at central HQ and I can't find it for the life of me

nvm, spotted it's south of the middle garry

[gloomy grove]

You can always check the map and look for the black diamonds

[dawn widget]

Need more people to play with on Steam

[gloomy grove]

#pc-looking-for-unit or #pc-divisions-recruitment

[dense rampart]

Yeah thanks, I was just reaaally not seeing them on the map at the time. I know what the icon is now 🙂

[radiant spear]

How should I decide which server to join? There are a lot and I don't know how to decide

[sweet cliff]

If you have no attachments to the community running it then ping, queue size and what maps and game modes you like to play

It's a lot easier to get into a server that has 50 to 80 people on it than a full one and if it isn't off hours for the region those tend to fill up fast so you shouldn't be playing too long on an emptier server

[nimble furnace]

Choose the lowest ping.

Set it as one of your favourites first. Click the star icon to the far left of the server name.

[tulip python]

Hello everyone, new player here on Xbox. Played a few matches but having a hard time understanding things in the game. Where can I find good info for beginners? I’m currently playing rifleman because I don’t want to take a MOS the team needs without fully understanding it.

[sweet cliff]

Give the new players guide a read: https://www.reddit.com/r/hellletloose/comments/q23r8m/_/

[pearl vapor]

Specifically for all the new players to the game,
I've spent some time developing a HLL navigation assistant, and it's at a point where I'm happy with it and want to get it out into the world! It's called World War Ways, and you can find it on mobile and pc web browsers at:
https://worldwarways.web.app/

I developed this site because I was tired of always getting my truck stuck when trying to sort out a quick path while driving. While it still can be rough to look at the map while still in motion, this does make finding the fastest route between points much easier! On another hand, this is super helpful for new drivers to get more comfortable driving around maps without the added concern of crashing or getting stuck in a ditch trying to find a good shortcut.

Notable features:
--Waypoints, allowing for multiple destinations for a computed route
--Support for all the current maps
--Easy to use graphical interface
--Live path revisions, if you need to adjust destinations on the fly
--Undo button, so a misclick doesn't mean you have to make a whole new route

Looking forward, I do plan to add more support for shortcuts using offroad elements like footpaths and railways, route difficulty metrics, and a handful of other things.
I am providing active support and updates for this, so please feel free to DM me with any comments, questions, or bugs you find! Or if you know someone who could use a tool like this, send them the link!

[last root]

anyone trynna help a new player? I wanna try and devote some time to learning this game to make it very immersive

[deft trail]

Can show you how to play it well, dont know about immersion

But just because you do well, is no guarantee your team wont be total crap and ruin your experience/imersion

[nimble furnace]

Yeah, when things go well in game, it’s like playing an episode of Band of Brothers.

[cinder sonnet]

what are you doing, step bro

[deft trail]

@cinder sonnet , was that your face once upon a misfortune ?

[cinder sonnet]

i spawned in a wall once

[deft trail]

Ow

[mint axle]

yo whats up

[nimble furnace]

Energy Costs 😏

[mint axle]

true true

[dire rose]

Aye does anyone wanna squad up and help a rookie?

[magic totem]

Yo I’m rookie to this too, the learning curve pretty hard any help?

[sweet cliff]

The new players guide covers things pretty well https://www.reddit.com/r/hellletloose/comments/q23r8m/_/

[sweet cliff]

Beyond that there's lots of videos out there on specific subjects

[unique turtle]

damn this a hard game 🙃

[deft trail]

Hard games make hard players

[golden moss]

Why on earth is go compare, the most annoying ad song ever made, the theme 🤣

[still vault]

It takes an existing opera piece and makes Go Compare the lyrics.

Maximum cringe.

There is also bits such as Confused.com, Sainsbury's Nectar card shenanigans, and Quick Quid Think.

[valid junco]

Don't you mean Over There? It was basically the definitive WWI American song.

[still vault]

Over There has slower pacing, however.

[valid junco]

Looking it up, it's a UK advertisement. But it's clearly based on Over There.

Aside from Blood on the Risers, given how many of the maps are based on battlegrounds that the 101st and 82nd fought on, not a lot of the other immediately recognizable US songs would fit IMO

[golden moss]

Yeah i never knew Over There was a thing, I can't not hear Go Compare though, and it's infuriating 😅

[dawn widget]

Haha, I went through that. But for some reason it was easier to shake than when I went from Hovis adverts to Dvorak.

[median crane]

Tmw I get team killed by same guy 4 times, feels good

[undone venture]

Hey

just started playing this game but I get often disconnected while playing on Geforce now

any ideas ?

like the game crashes

[dawn widget]

any one on

[lunar jewel]

@undone venture Do you get any Unreal Engine or Nvidia error messages when you crash?

[safe light]

does anyone know why no servers show up on my enlist page?

[sweet cliff]

Are you on the public test environment? Make sure you're launching the right one

Also check your server browser name filter, if you have text in it you won't see it unless you click in the box.

[loud dune]

Unreal Engine, yes. Though for me it was actually a hardware fault, my PC RAM too overclocked. Weakened the timings, no more crashes. I also use the '-dx12' command line

[lunar jewel]

ok

[undone venture]

Unreal engine

[still vault]

What sort of unhandled exception is it?

[clear garnet]

how is it just 51%?

ppl cant aim

[sweet cliff]

Achievements weren't added until I believe U9.

So people who haven't played since before achievements were added won't have that.

[still vault]

And even then, certain achievements (Medic Revives) are currently not tracked still.

[dawn widget]

That is an impressive pool of players to try to tempt back

[spiral wigeon]

I'd say at least half of the community wants to be Desmond Doss

[nimble furnace]

We need more Desmond Doss’s

[brazen stirrup]

Well look at the level 20 (23.4%) ,30 (15,1%) ,40 (10,1%) ,50 (7%) ,60 (4,9%) ,70 (3.6%) achievement

[deft trail]

You dont want those players back

Theyre the salty insatiable type

[still vault]

They were likely made up of the ones whom despised the game's subsequent handling in spite of Kickstarter phrasing.

[timid frigate]

New here and need a serious group of players maybe not over the top serious but at least serious enough to work together as a unit

[timid schooner]

are the graphics good?

[tall orchid]

Also with Genghis Khan

[nimble furnace]

Reporting what?

[tall orchid]

his desmond doss achievement

[median turret]

You asked for more, so I'm answering the call to arms

[nimble furnace]

Hmmm 🤔 I don’t pay attention to my achievements. Well done on yours.

[unkempt storm]

I feel like Desmond and genghis would clash

Incompatible really

[tall orchid]

i dont have that one as i find medic to irritating to play

[undone venture]

How the hell I find people in this game 🤣 it’s like invisible snipers everywhere

What’s the easiest role to play first ?

[tall orchid]

rifleman, support, assault

there aren't really 'hard' classes

[main bough]

@undone venture - for me sound is everything. If I were deaf I would probably be one terrible FPS player. I listen for each and every gun sound and pinpoint from there. I rarely miss as well. I too also use the muzzle flash for pinpointing those who may think they are hidden. Believe me the cheat word has been thrown in my direction for years due to how I play. 😛 To be honest I simply take that as a compliment. 😉

[hard fable]

anyone know what the British music will be ?

when they get added

[nimble furnace]

Mr Blobby, Christmas No1 1993.

Wonderwall - Oasis

[sweet cliff]

I always liked hearing the units in steel division doing the Tipperary song

[meager mango]

Around 3 hours of one Omaha Beach Offensive game for very little XP 🙄

[still vault]

One-hour rounds? What? Usually Offensive matches are at most 2:30.

[meager mango]

I wasn’t tracking the time, it could of been 2 and a half but even still.

I was in a game where the offensive team (US) was capturing each objective at the last like fuckin 3 minutes

It was mad annoying

[gloomy grove]

You either got the visual XP bug or didn't do much in the game if you got barely any XP in 2.5 hours

[meager mango]

Maybe

I was a Machine Gunner and was getting a decent amount of kills

[dense birch]

[civic belfry]

isa the player base OK on PC? im playing on ps5 and no one talks

[sweet cliff]

Player count is healthy, level of game is just going to depend on the server and time of night, you can but not always find better games on community servers I think where there are regulars.

I can't quantify it, but I strongly suspect that more PC players are going to have mic's than on console, but the best part about PC is you get a server browser so you can pick specific servers to play on regularly.

[lunar jewel]

Yep

[sweet cliff]

There's always bad teams or bad squads though, the platform you play on won't stop that.

[median crane]

I swear like every other game I play it's either no one talks or constant talking

[lunar jewel]

yea thats about the average

[median crane]

Being squad lead and having over talkative leader chat and squad chat gets so confusing sometimes

[cinder zephyr]

yo i need a pc group

[sweet cliff]

#pc-looking-for-unit maybe?

There's plenty of community servers out there, depends if you want the more casual side or competitive

[deft trail]

Gotta learn to drown it out

[median crane]

Is so hard when you got 4 other squad leads pinging the same tank and all saying active ping and yelling to arty and my squadmates saying hey there's a tank right here

[deft trail]

Drown it all out

[median crane]

It's honestly the only thing I dislike about playing squad lead

[next oasis]

ask yourself why you are so afraid of muting

seriously

[deft trail]

Not that

[sweet cliff]

You can't drown out voices of equal volume coming in on the same headset when you want to only listen to one set of voices.

[deft trail]

What good is information if you cannot filter it

[median crane]

I only mute people that start eating with their mic on

[deft trail]

Start by by focus on one person talking only, then work your way to listening to others

[next oasis]

no

you need to learn whether the constant blabbing over comms is worth listening to

tank callouts are useless unless you are tanking. That should probably be the first people to be muted, tank SLs

a tank isn't just going to sneak up on you, you'll likely hear it before it's ever a threat,
do you really need people blabbing on the mic too? Do you need to hear them?

SLs who are calling out their pings is the next set of people to mute

its redundant info, and not pertinent

[median crane]

One thing about commander I hated was people tanking in leader chat and their like "commander wanna tell the tank crew there's a tank over here"

[deft trail]

Its honestly not even that bad, it only gets annoying when you hear dogs barking and kids crying

[next oasis]

if comms ever gets to a point where you are thinking to yourself, "wow there's so many people talking" it's time for you to mute

[deft trail]

Lol playing telephone with the commander like the other squads cant hear you

The dumbest shit ever

[next oasis]

it is the absolute dumbest shit

CO ruined 'communication' in HLL btw

[deft trail]

I dont think mainstream is ready for anything remotely close to milsim

[median crane]

I still love how the communications work in HLL work and the ease to switch between chats

[next oasis]

next time you have a bunch of chatter in your ear, really listen to the quality of what people are saying.
Filter out information that you didn't need to know, or that isn't relevant to you.
Tally up how much useless things are being said by player who don't know any better.

Then mute

[deft trail]

You could just tell them to stfu unless its time sensitive

🤔

[next oasis]

HLL isn't that kind of game. "Tactics" work at at macro level. Callouts are meaningless here.

[sweet cliff]

Chum is right that if there are people who are adding absolutely no value you should just mute them so they aren't distracting you, but that has the unfortunate side effect of you talking over them on command chat when you do have something useful to add.

[deft trail]

Well callouts are useful if you can do brevity

The ping suffices for location

[sweet cliff]

But really people should keep command chat to the absolute minimum required to function.

[deft trail]

You dont need mgrs or some fancy shit

“Tank on jig marker”

How hard is that

[median crane]

It's always tank on bravo ping. Bravo ping active tank

Tank bravo ping still active

Tank moving new ping

[deft trail]

“Tank on bravo mark, stationary “

[median crane]

Then there's 4 pings for the same tank

[deft trail]

You gotta learn to filter out stupid

Game is full of it

[median crane]

And the tiger that's 200meters behind has no ping

[sweet cliff]

This is why everyone but the person who actually observed the tank should use the observe mark because no other squads short of the commander will see it.

[deft trail]

Well, heres the thing with that

Those markers are often for their own squads too

[sweet cliff]

Your own squad can see the observe mark.

You tell your squad observe is X.

Observe is the single most important mark in the game because it reduces map clutter.

[median crane]

I love the ones where your playing Germans and one squad is freaking out that there's a panzer2 rolling up behind us

[deft trail]

The ping system is made for dummies but its not dummy proof

Talk about paradox

[median crane]

There's a tiger in the field

But it's a Sherman on ping

[deft trail]

Itll be okay

I hate squad mates that ask stupid questions

The OP is built on the team strongpoint, the officer is on the strong point fighting, “hey are we defending or attacking?”

[median crane]

Can we get another OP down

Has one 150m from objective

[deft trail]

Ngl tho, i do miss having to give grid references

The ping system is so cheesy

They still teach you to read map grids in middle school studies right, this isnt just some elite military training?

[median crane]

Idk where C5 is

There's a tank in D6, where's that

[deft trail]

Wish the grid was also partitioned to be more granular

[sweet cliff]

It is you just have to zoom in

Well, I don't think they're labeled but I'm pretty sure you see smaller boxes if you zoom in.

Plus there's always the KP system that narrows it down considerably.

[deft trail]

They need them labels

[sweet cliff]

Maybe I'm making this up though I'll have to fire it up and look.

[deft trail]

KP system isnt official thougg

[median crane]

We cant forget about the people that just say right or left and can't use the compass

Like there's time and place for both but when they only use left and right call outs

[deft trail]

Right and left is good enough for me

Sometime you dont have time to look down on compass

I turn and scan

Looking at your compass in active firefight is stupid

[median crane]

Then the "they are at 167"

[deft trail]

Unless youre a tanker

[median crane]

The numbers should only be used for recon or tank

That's too much work for firefight

[deft trail]

Also compass bearing only works if youre like within 5 m of each other

After that it becomes “wtf, were you dropped as a baby”

[median crane]

To them it's the exact same for everyone

Their teammate could be across the field and he still calling out the enemy at 126

[deft trail]

I want to think these are kids but i hear grown mens voice making these callouts

It diminishes the soul

[sweet cliff]

I will confirm that if you use the 3rd map zoom level you get a sub grid appropriate for use with the keypad system.

[deft trail]

An interactive tutorial with standardized drills would prob improve the avg performance some

[sweet cliff]

I'm pretty sure they've all but said a tutorial is off the table.

[deft trail]

Get everyone understanding the same ttps, set the bar for communication

[quick bolt]

A tutorial would be nice, but I think a little in-game, voice feedback goes a long way.

[undone venture]

Hey, any way to toggle on and off crew chat instead of pressing C all the time ?

[tall orchid]

you've played there recently

[leaden salmon]

ok I was thinking the same.. then why are you able to click it and remove the icon? Seems odd.

[peak veldt]

So that you can remove it from the list

[clever flax]

Hi guys, I've accepted the ToS and everything but can't access console-support. What have I missed?

Clicking the stopwatch stops time

It stops time

It’s a stoptime

[leaden salmon]

thx dew dew

@peak veldt removing the icon, errr removes the icon... but I dont see any functional difference otherwise. There is no "sort by time" feature that I can see and therefore no "list" to remove the server from.

Hi guys, just started playing HLL yesterday. Amazing game! Lots of potential 🙂

[glad pasture]

[median crane]

Is that a jojos reference

[unkempt storm]

im gunna be honest with you, i got no idea what that is

[median crane]

Understandable

[undone venture]

Do you think devs will ever give us a minimap in game ?

So annoying driving trucks having to check map all the time

[still pewter]

Nah 😂 it isn’t COD or battlefield

[modern rampart]

Nope, minimap is not needed.

the regular map is good enough.

[hardy pasture]

what is the best HLL gun?

for the german, american and soviet

[deft trail]

Depends on what your objective is

[dawn widget]

anyone wanna play? im new and i suck

[deft trail]

If youre trying to hit assault an objective at 50 m, the smgs

[hardy pasture]

i just like to kill people

in HLL

maybe camping and stuff

[deft trail]

I like the bolt action on the german side, its got the fastest vel and lowest drop and has a good stopping power at very long distance

[hardy pasture]

i got this game 2 days ago

[deft trail]

You gotta squint a little, holdshift to get a partial zoom and scan the area

[dawn widget]

i got it a few monrhs ago but barely played

[deft trail]

This game you die very easily so you shouldnt run around al willy nilly

Everyone is a certified sniper and camps

[hardy pasture]

yeah

i improved kd from 0,20 to 0,90

[deft trail]

You gotta scan the plane before moving forward

[hardy pasture]

so learning a bit

[dawn widget]

its imposbbile to see them half the time

[hardy pasture]

i just sit with machine gun and spray through some bush and get kills xD

[deft trail]

No, you just need to look

[dawn widget]

wanna hop in a chat

[hardy pasture]

yeah

[deft trail]

Unless its an actual sniper, you will see their pixels

[undone venture]

learn artillery or tanks. It's fun and easyer for me compared to rifleman

and you feel actually important hehe

x tanks I recommend gunner and the squad leader will mark the enemies etc etc

x artillery you can download app to know how to set MIL, just make sure you don't hit frendlies and you get someone at the point to spot for you enemies and mark them

[hardy pasture]

alright

cant i just jump into tank and shoot people?

[deft trail]

Honestly, with a little more play time, you get a bit more of a feel for where fire is coming from and where people are hiding. It's also meant to lean more towards realism though, and that's kinda how it works irl lol. I still totally get where you're coming from though, and it can be a real struggle sometimes

[sweet cliff]

Tanks are a 3 position vehicle, driver, gunner, spotter with one of them (typically the spotter) being the squad lead with access to command chat, https://theline.gg/tankbible/#top this is pretty much required reading to get in a tank.

If you don't know what's going on you are going to get murdered over and over by both enemy infantry and tanks, and tanks are an important team resource so you shouldn't waste them.

[deft trail]

Learn the operation of the tank in an empty server not a full one

Dont be That Guy

[cinder sonnet]

the more you play the better you'd get at sensing it

Generally, based off audio, but also off the direction of richochets, where people are dying from, etc

seeing the muzzle flash, as well

[dawn widget]

New member to the game here, I need to find a dedicated squad to play "realistic" or if I join the game any squad or most will be good enough? (pc)

[pearl vapor]

I would look around #pc-divisions-recruitment

[dawn widget]

But its really necesary?

[undone venture]

Great idea tbh, didn’t think about that

[sweet cliff]

Before you get into a tank in a real game you should read the tank bible and you should try out each of the seats, especially driving on an empty serve.r

[pearl vapor]

I mean, if you're looking for specific types of groups, it's the best place to start. It depents on how realistic you're trying to be, and how dedicated a group you want. But it's not essential; you can pretty easily find others like that to play with in-game

[dawn widget]

So ingame is ok

[undone venture]

@pulsar locust I can’t join the Italian channel it doesn’t let me react to the italian flag in #enlist_language

[median crane]

I haven't tried in game but does blow torch hurt enemy vehicles?

[next oasis]

no

[median crane]

Damn

[median crane]

There's a tank bible?

Does having 1500hrs on warthunder equate to reading tank bible?

[sweet cliff]

Nah because they're entirely different games. https://theline.gg/tankbible/#top

A very thorough resource.

[tall orchid]

equates to nothing

[median crane]

I'll have to put more hours in then

[sweet cliff]

I mean, it might help you recognize tank in HLL but beyond that I couldn't say, I don't play war thunder.

Some cross game knowledge is probably actively harmful, like thinking your tank can hit X but it can't in HLL.

[median crane]

Main thing I've learned about war thunder is suicide hot line is your friend
