how do guns feel in this game?

[next oasis]

All weapons in hll are mirrored in their accuracy.
They feel identical to eachother in every way but bullet velocity, and even that is negligible

Im not understating it, the guns are literal and technical mirrors of eachother

Incredibly samey.

[signal harness]

Better than CS nowhere near RO2. I cannot comment on War zone. I haven't played

[vital estuary]

so do they all feel great to shoot

or do they all feel trash to shoot

[next oasis]

It's not "better" than Cs if your talking about variety. It's the exact opposite of cs

[vital estuary]

CS isnt good

[next oasis]

They all feel the same. It's up to you to decide whether that's good or baf

[signal harness]

I dont think we are talking about the same thing

[vital estuary]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxFEngt0REU

[next oasis]

I'm not speaking of your subjective view on the game. I'm saying hll doesn't have anywhere near the level of variety cs has.

[signal harness]

Agree

[vital estuary]

nioce but that wasnt the question

[next oasis]

Warzone weapons feel great.
You will most lilkely think hlls is worse.

[signal harness]

Closest "feel" might be insurgency, but even then the guns in HLL feel a pretty weightless

[vital estuary]

insurgency or insurgency sandstorm btw?

[signal harness]

Sandstorm

[vital estuary]

alright nice, its not too bad

[signal harness]

Yeah, its not bad, but not great imo

[still vault]

What of Bad Company 2?

[next oasis]

Bad company 2 had spread, so definitely not like hll.

[still vault]

The rest of it was being referred to.

Movements and the like.

[next oasis]

Movement, not any more. It was similar to hlls earlier state but the game has since had things added to it that separate it from bc2

That being diagonal sprint strafing, vaulting.

[signal harness]

In terms of "feel" I would say BC2 is pretty similar. Idk it's pretty subjective anyway. I prefer RO2 and RS2 both in terms of gunplay and "feel" but I've heard many complaints about those games "feel"

[still vault]

Yes, I am aware of those. The speed and general object traversal is being referred to here.

why do mics sound so bad in the game? is it possible to disable whatever processing the game is doing and just hear and transmit the raw audio instead?

my mic sounds nothing like what it normally sounds when recorded or over discord

[still vault]

One moment while I find something.

Otherwise, @dawn widget, repost it.

[next lava]

I've asked the mods to limit that to one pinned post per division (rather than one every 24h), let's see how that works out.

Two of the biggest console clans operating in Europe are VOID and KRRC.

Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated with either of them. I'm in another one that started in Oceania and is trying to build more of a European presence.

[vital estuary]

people are saying they mark and ping stuff but i can hardly see it, and usually it disappears within a couple seconds. am i missing something?

[sweet cliff]

Hit T

[still vault]

Press T to toggle the tactical overlay and see SL pings.

[sweet cliff]

You can adjust how long stuff stays on your screen with the marker settings

[next oasis]

first thing, turn off the teammate icons showing at 500m.
Put it at 250m at the most, your eyes will thank you

[vital estuary]

i already set both market values to max but it seems short

[sweet cliff]

You'll only see commander pings and marks, and ones from your squad, and some marks you won't be able to see, depends on the type.

[still vault]

There are three tiers of ping.

Warning pings are temporary, and used by anyone.

Officers can place permanent marks seen by the squad and Commander.

Commanders place marks Officers can see.

[vital estuary]

ah i see

[sweet cliff]

Commanders place marks the entire team can see typically. Like an infantry or tank mark the whole team will see.

[vital estuary]

so i just to keep re-pinging stuff. for example when i see a tank

[sweet cliff]

If you ping it and call it out then if your SL is listening they should mark it.

They may not hear you over command chat though depending on how busy it is. Or they might just ignore you.

[vital estuary]

i played a couple of games so far it was pretty fun

but id say my time distribution was about 30% respawning, 30% running long distances, 30% camping/defending a point and about 10% doing actual stuff heh

[sweet cliff]

You can tell a commander mark because it will have the icon on the mark.

Yeah, long run times to action are a symptom of inadequate number of or poorly placed (or both) spawns.

[vital estuary]

ye thats what happened. we had a very forward spawn point and when it was taken over we had to run all the way from the start spawn lol

[sweet cliff]

Yeah it's pretty common thing when the whole team isn't pitching in, people get tired of building all the garries every day.

[vital estuary]

i dont know/understand the logistics stuff. it seems similar to Squad, which i also dont understand lol

[sweet cliff]

So the new players guide goes over it but the OP is for your squad and your squad only and it's free to put down (can put one down every so often I forget the timing)

Garrisons are team wide spawns but cost 50 supplies in friendly territory, 100 in enemy. Have to be 200m from other garrisons and can't be placed in locked event territory. Will be locked out if an enemy is 15m from it in friendly territory or 100 in enemy.

You can get supplies from the support class, commander air drop or supply truck.

[next oasis]

OPs are free, and they spawn in waves of 20 seconds rather than the Garrys 40 seconds.
Your SL should always be trying to place an OP worth spawning on, because it is much more faster to spawn on

[sweet cliff]

^^

There's also half tracks which work like garrisons on wheels, 60 second deploy timer but they cost 300 fuel and can only deploy people when they're parked with the engine off.

And airheads which are like a temporary garrison, I forget the spawn timing on that, 30 seconds? 40 maybe?

If you're spawning at the HQ and it's not the very start of the game things have gone terribly wrong.

But essentially most garrisons should be getting built by SLs using the support class in their squad because it's free (box recharges with time), and it makes it less noticeable than a truck driving up or a parachute coming down, that stuff makes it very easy to find garrisons.

[vital estuary]

thats a lot to take in

i kinda get it but not really lol

is there a way to make the map less colorful? its got so much information on it

half the time i spend like 15 seconds finding myself on the map

[candid mango]

Yo does HLL have teams like Nazis, British, Americans, Soviets

[sweet cliff]

The map has a ping setting where you'll see yourself right when you open it but as you learn the maps you'll have an idea of where you're at before you even open the map

[sweet cliff]

USA, Germany, Soviets on PC with British supposed to be coming in 2022

[candid mango]

Great thanks, if it had 2 team that would make the game wack

Im gonna get it graphics look good it looks fun

[mortal rapids]

is it a bad idea to play on controller if on PC?

[candid mango]

Why would you ever want to play on a controller

[mortal rapids]

I dont really have a set up where it's conducive to play on keyboard

[sweet cliff]

Yes it's a terrible idea for aiming it will really handicap you.

[mortal rapids]

good to know, I'll need to start making the switch

[sweet cliff]

And you get downed very quickly in this game when you get shot, so just not a very good combination.

[vital estuary]

leveling up one class levels it up for all factions simultaneously?

[uncut jasper]

Yes

[candid mango]

Mostly controllers have aimbot what

Hll made it the opposite?? Godly game already

[uncut jasper]

No aim assist in this game

Watch console gameplay

[candid mango]

What gigachads

[tall orchid]

lol using a controller doesn’t magically activate aimbot on PC

[candid mango]

Controller = aimbot

[uncut jasper]

Not really tho

[tall orchid]

that = no

[candid mango]

Then you guys obviously never played any COD, old Fortnite, Valorant, Apex

All of those games were 65% ruined because of controller players

Don't you see memes of people hating on console

[uncut jasper]

I played all of those and that really wasn't the case

Halo, maybe

But the game is literally MADE for controller

[candid mango]

What game

Oh nvm Halo

[still vault]

In Apex Legends, the recoil kick hyper-focuses on the head if Aim Assist is turned on.

[tall orchid]

all of those games have aim assists for controller inputs

HLL does not

[candid mango]

I'm sure 85% of all pc players can agree controller = aimbot

[uncut jasper]

You can also jiggle aim in Apex and have functionally zero-recoil on PC

Something you can't do on controller

[still vault]

If aim assist is automatic or otherwise enabled, yes.

If it is not there, other methods may be explored.

Such as input magnetism.

[candid mango]

Like Cronus Zen, the main aimbot technique in console R6S

[uncut jasper]

Are you confusing aim assist with aimbot, or are you being hyperbolic here

Aim assist really doesn't do much outside of close range gunfights

[candid mango]

No I'm not confusing it, Cronus zen is legit aimbot, but controller is highly op aim assist

[tall orchid]

there’s effectively no difference between aim assist and aimbot.

[sweet cliff]

HLL on PC does not give you any aim assistance by using a controller.

If people are cheating it's because they're cheating.

[uncut jasper]

Like playing against controller on any game with aim assist really isn't that bad unless the game revolves around the basis of using a controller

[candid mango]

This game will look good with my GeForce RTX 3080 😎

[uncut jasper]

CoD is ez against controllers

[still vault]

Aim assist in any way is considered a form of aimbot if the setting either is not globally turned off, or gives overwhelming advantage if it turned on.

As it manipulates player skill to some degree.

[uncut jasper]

You can't play FPS anywhere near as well on a controller that you can achieve on M+KB; the design necessitates something like aim assist because joysticks aren't 1:1 input

Like I really don't see why aim assist is so maligned when PC players shit all over controller players more often than not

[tall orchid]

you ever see an adult at a bowling alley using the little lane bumpers?

it’s kinda like that

[still vault]

The existence of it at all is considered unfair due to typically being balanced to outperform M+K these days, as well as a form of skill inflation.

If the controller player would be consistently stomped if not using aim assist, it is believed that that should be the law of the land, with finding new hand tricks and awareness training to become better being more important.

[uncut jasper]

Players would leave the game, very little would actually want to push the limits of their input device more than it already is

It's either ditch crossplay or gimp one of the inputs

Which neither is gimped atm

[next lava]

Simple solution, disable M+KB and make everyone use a controller, its much more immersive and challenging game play, no more point+click+dead laser aiming and shooting. Which is almost exactly what HLL did with console. Turning controller sensitivity to 100% and aim-assist off delivers 1:1 input. If you want a level playing field sell your PC and buy a console. Yes, I'm being facetious, but I'm also serious.

[next lava]

If HLL console had private matches/servers where you could globally disable aim assist, nameplates, and HUD; it would personally be my ultimate immersive experience short of VR.

[vital estuary]

https://i.imgur.com/V7qANlf.jpeg what do these values affect and how do you increase/decrease their rate?

[unkempt storm]

These are resources used by the commander for abilities and spawning vehicles; munitions, manpower, and fuel; manpower is also used in offensive to act as an overtime if a point is contested when time reaches zero. It will always at least be 30/min but can be increased to 60/min by an engineer building resource nodes. Each node increases the rate of that resource by 10/min.

[vital estuary]

how do you win the defense mode? just prevent enemy from capturing a point for 30 minutes?

its a mission that may last like.... 2.5 hours?

[unkempt storm]

yessir, if you're losing each point at the 30 minute mark, it can take that long

can i take out outposts and garrysons as a regular infantry dude?

[wheat turtle]

yeah

if you mean enemy ones

[vital estuary]

yea

how?

[wheat turtle]

OPs you just walk over and it'll get destroyed, for garrisons you have to hold down interact key until it's destroyed

the time ranges depending on the location on the map

[vital estuary]

thats kinda spooky

because being on top of those things doesnt really block enemy respawn ability right?

so you might be interacting and then a squad of 10 people spawn in front of you?

[wheat turtle]

oh it does block them from spawning

If you're within 10m I'm pretty sure

It'll go red on their deploy map

[vital estuary]

aha cool

good to know

[coarse canopy]

If a garrison is in red (enemy) territory you block respawn at 15m, unless it’s something like 3 seconds until spawn (unlucky). If it’s in blue (friendly) territory you block respawn at 100m. Switch that for your own garrisons being blocked, so 100m in red 15m in blue. You destroy by interacting, shooting with a tank, placing a satchel or shooting with rocket launcher

[tall orchid]

i think it’s closer than 15m

[solid tulip]

When’s the next update coming out for this

Don’t remember the last time an update came out

[sweet cliff]

Last major update (not patch) was 7 December

[tight phoenix]

hi all, just bought the game because it reminded a lot of red orchestra, but the server menu seems a little confusing. I remove full servers from the queue and I see a lot of 99/98 pop, but when I try to join I frequently get a queue or told that I can't join yet, even some of the 80 pop servers I seem to have this issue. Why is that?

[primal fable]

Howdy all o/ .. i been playing this game for a while now and im getting tired of the crappy squads in end up in .. Im interested in joining some semi serious players to squad up with regularly .. im best at MG , arty and tank.. in that order .... feel free to PM me or invite me to your squad server 🙂 ... my icon says xbox but im pc all the way . i think its the xbox app on my pc that is causing the icon to appear here.

[uncut jasper]

So, some of the servers have VIP slots. You'll notice a counter below that says like "(4/6) VIP" and stuff like that. Ideally, it should tally out at 94/100 with 6/6 VIP for 100 players, but that sometimes doesn't seem to be the case. Check VIP slots while looking at servers.

[still vault]

Oh, yes, this.

There is a queueing system of up to Six players. This population can be seen in subtext on the Join Match side of the server browser.

All players are put into it. Those with VIP roles in a given server get priority and are pushed to the front of the queue where possible, enabling them to actually enter the server first.

Only if there is no one in the staggered queue will one be directly able to join a server the instant a match is joined. This is unlike other games, where a queue is only started when the server is at capacity.

[still vault]

Also, cursed thought for Remagen.

Using linked Barbed Wire nodes and Belgian Gates to stop vehicles from advancing. Set up squads with MGs on the lower catwalks to mow down attackers.

Or better yet, the Belgian Gate catwalk strategy to stop all infantry from using the stairwells.

[vale juniper]

Man I cant wait for fortification snapping

[dark mural]

Huh

Everyone talks lol

[dawn widget]

Think I've been in one game where a squad was just barely communicating.

[dark mural]

The last 6 games I’ve played everyone was talking/yelling for medics or just giving call outs

[dawn widget]

I wouldn't call that communication

I mean why even have there be squads if everyone just runs off in their own direction?

[dark mural]

🤷 all I’m saying is we all joked and had fun and talked, and etc, and the round after that I was in a group with people who all but me and another person didn’t talk

But it took me a while to figure out how to voip

[dawn widget]

I'm glad you've had that experience, I'd be okay with just joking around too, I had a wonderful experience with a chinese man in my first game where we weren't even in the same squad, all we did was wise crack and joke and defend an objective together.

This experience however seems once in a blue moon.

[dark mural]

Ehh find a group of friends who have the game and talk to them, some ppl don’t like to talk to strangers

[delicate crown]

hey I've been curious about this game? Is it anything like Squad?

[dawn widget]

Been a while since I played Squad (before helis at least). Some parts are similar like the focus on comms, teamwork and, you know, the guns and stuff. I think it's much easier to get your team organised in HLL than I remember it being in Squad (this is a compliment to Squad if you're looking for something more 'milsim'). On the other hand I remember some supremely silly games in Squad where the intended meta broke down completely, which probably wouldn't have happened in BF5 let alone HLL.

[delicate crown]

That's what I didn't like about Squad, no sense of command or of team gameplay most of the time since it's a pain in the ass to keep a squad working together.

[dawn widget]

You might like it here then. Were the maps in Squad just much bigger? It could have been as simple as that. I mean we do have our problems with coordination, but I think the matches with communication problems end up lying on the 'funny' side of the line, rather than 'infuriating'. And there's always the next match. Even the people who rant here are clearly addicted. Also I assume you're on PC so you can join a clan or pick a preferred server. Should be fine.

[glad pasture]

The console player base is very healthy on both PlayStation and Xbox consoles have cross play.

[left elk]

Hi I've been playing Red Orchestra 2 for a while now but recently the player count is quite low most of the day. I've tried Post Scriptum but it was not for me as it was mainly 25 minutes of walking to the objective, which was really boring in the long term. Is Hell Let Loose like Post Scriptum all over again or is it more like Red Orchestra?

[ebon venture]

If you have bad recon and command on your team, it can be like Death Stranding. But most of the time it's going to be a lot better.

[left elk]

so it is generally more engaging than post scriptum?

[next oasis]

There is no shortage of combat if both teams are doing what they're supposed to be, and are where they need to be

So definitely more engaging than PS in that regard

[sweet cliff]

So spawns are an important part of the game (read the new players guide in here, it's pinned which will talk about the different kinds of spawns), but you can't do that much to build them unless you're a squad lead.

What you can do (if you don't want to be squad lead) is play the support class so that you have a supply box, and try to help your SL (and any others) get garrisons up.

Or, if you're willing to play SL you'll be able to place down an outpost that you can your squad can spawn on, and you'll also be able to build garrisons using supplies (either from a support player, an air drop from the commander, or a supply truck)

and then you'll be able to noot noot to your hearts content.

[still vault]

Spawn close to the frontlines or important areas, and see if you can jump onto things.

[sweet cliff]

Yeah, it sounds like a lack of spawns to me is the problem, but make sure you understand the types of spawns there are in the game so when you're on the deploy menu you can look at the map and make a good decision on where to deploy (the outpost is the fastest spawn timer, every 20 seconds a wave can come off it)

[still vault]

If you ever played Battlefield: Bad Company 2, its methods of traversing map areas en route to an objective can be applied here. Think Panama Canal, Arica Harbor, or Atacama Desert's B point for building traversal or pathfinding.

That sort of whipping around the mouse and relying on jumping over things to attempt to flank hard or overcome obstacles is sort of like this game. Sort of.

They stay, as long as you don't exceed the mine limit, once you exceed the mine limit by placing new ones old ones will disappear.

do the bar or stg have a select fire switch?

No. There is no select fire in game

why are all official servers empty

there are no community servers to play in my region with normal ping

Hi, New to HLL can anyone help me with joining a server? Every time I select enlist it comes up with a message saying "No compatible servers found try again later". I changed my server browser ping to 3000 like it said and it isn't working. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

[still vault]

Do not play the Public Testing Build. It always finishes downloading and installing first if both are selected on the initial install prompt.

Ah, Thanks

[unreal tendon]

Hello, new to PC HLL, located at UK and looking for a good server to play in. Any suggestions? Does not have to be noob-friendly.

[gloomy grove]

All servers are the same. Playerbase is the same on all servers

Only difference is admins and the hardware

Hardware is mostly the same nowadays, and the admins are just regular players really so... Basically the same

[brave ruin]

Playerbase isn't always the same.

[gloomy grove]

Do you have a magical reserve of other players? General playerbase in one area of the world is basically the same

[brave ruin]

Quality of players can defer from community to community

[next oasis]

"[Chum is] moving too fast and headshotting everyone"
I'll never forget it, @brave ruin

[brave ruin]

About a year or so, I think.

😬

[brave ruin]

[next oasis]

I do like the score tracking that the server does, match time, etc

[coarse glacier]

Hello

So how do we unlock the console general chat

[sweet cliff]

#readme-rules click on one of the console roles

[gloomy grove]

Quality of a communities players differ, sure. But the general population on a server does not.

Majority of players on a given server are general population, not community members specific to that server

[coarse glacier]

I did that but it’s still locked or have a lock symbol on it

Nvm it worked

[mellow coyote]

<@&721849294243627041> DEV I am having an issue where every time i join a server i get kicked after 30-60 seconds after spawning with a message saying lost connection to host, this is really irritating as i spent a lot of money on this game to not be able to play it

[steep coral]

I have a question

Whats going on with hell let loose console we haven’t had any updates

[gloomy grove]

Apparently they're going for one big update

Complete parity with PC

I personally think console has slowed down pc development. So damn you console folks

[spiral compass]

PCMR

damn no gifs 😦

[vital estuary]

console has been slowing PC development all across the board for decades

not just this game lol

[unreal tendon]

Aren't console port developers different than PC??

[wheat turtle]

yeah only flix works on the port

[next oasis]

We know that they work on the port, not that they "only" work on the port. It'd be naive to think these teams as separate from eachother. Each affects the other, it'd be strange not to have overlap.
Especially since the "BM" devs (w/e that means at this point) are in transition out of here.

[jaunty gate]

Does anyone know when they're adding the British faction?

[signal harness]

Even if flix solely worked on the port it was still a commitment of resources that could have went to a third programmer for development

[signal harness]

[dawn widget]

does anyone want to play with me?

[sweet cliff]

[jaunty gate]

Awesome

[abstract kestrel]

J

[unkempt storm]

kinda been a long time innit

[gloomy grove]

Yeah, but they're trying to achieve parity. If BM just went full steam ahead and dropped the British in U12 the console Devs wouldn't possibly be able to achieve parity without a bunch more time between updates

Console Devs have the whole Eastern Front, and U11, and Patch 17, and likely whatever U12 contains to put into the big console update. That'll take some time to do, and PC Devs absolutely must have to wait some for them to do that work

Or its just a moving finish line for console devs

th-they're separate teams, promise!

was the "parity" buzzword before or after them saying it wouldn't affect dev time

I'm not going to look up specific dates, but if I had to guess, it was more than likely after

They're trying to match how the game functions on console as well as on PC, how can they NOT affect eachother

[sweet cliff]

#enlist_off-topic that'll tell you how to get access to #off-topic-mess-hall

[next lava]

Considering they are improving their pipeline so that the one workflow produces artefacts for 4 platforms instead of only 1, it will absolutely affect the initial development time, but will subsequently improve, the optimisation effort for console will also improve PC

I have been wondering if landmines for tanks are effective, I made a tank hit two different landmines that it backed into and it did no damage. Used to Squad damage model so I was a bit surprised and disappointed with them.
So, what are they actually used for?

[sweet cliff]

If they both blew up at the same time there's a very good chance only 1 did damage, they changed how mines work so you couldn't put a mine down next to a tank and blow it up with a grenade.

Theres a mine section in here though https://www.theline.gg/tankbible

[unkempt storm]

Anti-tank anti-nade mines

[sweet cliff]

It was pretty effective

[warped ivy]

Downloading this game rn.

[spiral vessel]

What's the best arty calculator on the internet?

[brisk patrol]

A little more than that. But it will come with time, you can start to capture in the 4 squares around an objective but it will start in 2minuets. As long as you have more players in there than the enemy. And the way of doing that is destroying garrisons, inside the circle or ‘strong point’ will increase capture strength. Keep watching videos and playing. Don’t go squad lead or commander until you understand things a little more would be my recommendation, or jump straight in and learn fast. Also make sure please please you have coms

[shrewd mesa]

[glad pasture]

optimization is continually being worked on with each patch and Update Dlc.

Towards the end of games it seems like all HQ spawns disappear, is this triggered by anything or people manually destroying them somehow?

So, I'm probably stupid, but I keep seeing people in game with ranks in their name, and at first I thought nothing of it. But now I see the discord and people also have ranks. Is there a system you can do? What's the requirements for it?

Is it even connected?

[unkempt storm]

Not connected. Ranks in names in game would be either group related or just a choice. Ranks in discord are from the Kickstarter phase, nothing that can be done at this point

How long does it take to level a class to level 6? It seems like those loadouts are locked behind hundreds of hours of gameplay?

[sweet cliff]

Build nodes

[deft pendant]

It does take Long time tbf, but mostly because matches are so long imo.
The fastest way to level classes is by building things with the hammer.
With a engineer and enough supplies you can level a class pretty fast

I always try to drop supplies and then change to engineer at start of rounds.
Then if no one has already , I switch to assault (class I’m trying to level) and build nodes and defences, rinse and replete where possible.
Spend a few games doing this (making sure what you build actually helps the team😉)
And you can jump a few levels

[tall orchid]

took me about around 1400 hours to get everything to ten without really making a serious effort

build nodes, swap classes

[deft pendant]

That’s a loooooooooooonf time

[tall orchid]

the only loadout you really need to work for is assault 9

6 comes fairly quickly

[signal harness]

Level six is fairly easy for any class. Most classes only need level 3 if you are just going for unlocks

iirc, only SL and Assault are the only classes where level 6 is worthwhile

Just a goddam walking simulator with no content

[sweet cliff]

gotta build those garrisons man

[dawn widget]

When I'm playing as anti tank?

[still vault]

Probably a raycasted projectile system. This is where the projectile is not physically simulated all of the time, but is calculated every X amount of distance in meters and interpolated from there.

This is a way to have projectiles that are not typically physics or as networking-intensive as rigid body projectiles, but also simulated in a pseudorealistic way that hitscan rounds cannot capture all of the time or at all.

[sweet cliff]

Someone has to do it, be the change you want to see in the world.

The same complaints exist on PC, trust me.

[dawn widget]

Why do we need those fucking garrisons just add some spawn points on the objective or add some transportation

Like burh

[sweet cliff]

Oh, that's not the game you bought friend, sorry. Also transport trucks do exist.

[still vault]

Transport trucks and Outposts exist.

Use the Outpost.

[sweet cliff]

Wouldn't count on that ever changing.

[sweet cliff]

I doubt the outpost exists in these games.

Also whenever you guys get parity with PC you should also get half tracks.

Ultimately someone has to build spawns or they won't exist, it is frustrating if you end up having to do that every game because nobody else will, very common complaint on PC, especially after the game goes on sale and you get flooded by new people.

Always remember Murphy's Laws of Combat.

[still vault]

And Smith's Laws of Terminal Ballistics.

[hoary spruce]

Murphy's Laws of Combat
(For HLL)

1. If the enemy is in range, so are you.
2. Incoming fire has the right of way.
3. Don't look conspicuous, it draws fire.
4. There is always a way.
5. The easy way is always mined.
6. Try to look unimportant, they may be low on ammo.
7. Teamwork is essential, it gives them someone else to shoot at.
8. The enemy diversion you have been ignoring will be the main attack.
9. A "sucking chest wound" is natures way of telling you to slow down.
10. If your attack is going well, you have walked into an ambush.
11. Never draw fire, it irritates everyone around you.
12. Anything you do can get you shot, including nothing.
13. Make it tough enough for the enemy to get in and you won't be able to get out.
14. Never share a foxhole with anyone braver than yourself.
15. If you are short of everything but the enemy, you are in a combat zone.
16. When you have secured an area, don't forget to tell the enemy.
17. Friendly Fire Isn't.

For your educational benefit.

[cobalt chasm]

FYI, if you ever want to see the overall life in a game, you can google the name of the game and Steam player charts.

But if a game is singleplayer & multi-player, beware. They track both stats. So a game could be booming in SP and not MP

[dawn widget]

Hell let loose has console aim assist?

Does that not defeat the entire mil sim aspect of it

Players don’t have name tags above them, you must actually use your pattern recognizing skills to identify friend or foe

[next oasis]

-the aim assist slows down the reticle as it passes targets, the game plays very different due to controller sticks
-HLL is not a milsim
-the default setting is for teammate icons to appear up to 500m, and hardly anyone ever turns this off

[dawn widget]

Man if that teammates icon was turned off 🤣 imagine all the team kills. Every match a stalemate cause of TKs

[uncut jasper]

That's why the default setting is now 500m

It was 100m when I got the game, tons of TKs

[rugged finch]

is there bullet drop

[fallow token]

Yes

[rugged finch]

drastic?

[brave ruin]

i mean it's realistic

[rugged finch]

okay

its genuinely hard to tell lol

[normal pike]

It is pretty realistic. A 7,92x57mm, fired by the K98 and the MG42, will have land only about 35mm lower at 400m from the standard 200m sighting in. Beyond that, drop becomes more dramatic.

But given you're aiming at a person (in game), it's nothing. I have 2x Kar98k with rounds mirroring what was used at the time, and it is largely point-and-shoot (unless your target is sprinting)

[next lava]

Is that where they're "sighted in" on HLL?

[next lava]

I honestly wished there were a server-mode to enforce HUD + nameplates off

[normal pike]

I'd assume so, but it's so hard to tell.

I sight my Kar98k at 200 for 0, and at 100, it hits about 15-25mm high from memory. So it's really splitting hairs.

[gloomy grove]

All guns are sighted at 100m

If it doesn't kill tanks, it's 100m. That's the general rule

Gotta love when you run by a trench and notice a supply truck stuck in it, then you run by again later and there’s a transport next to it, then you run by again and there’s the supply truck and now 2 transports destroyed and still stuck

Happens more than you would think

Is it better to have my headset surround sound on or off? I can't tell which is better for directional sounds
I have the HyperX Cloud II if that helps

[still vault]

Some amount of directional mixing exists for stereo sound.

It is not known to what extent surround sound is supported, but feel free to test and see if it is perceived in an alright way.

The Sound Quality setting has no bearing on surround sound mixing, by the way. It just controls how many internal engine audio channels are created for simultaneous sounds. Remember the days of 16 and 32 channels? Well, here it is 32, 64, 96, and 128 channels from Low to Epic.

how do i find the artillery on the spawn map?

But they do take action on it here despite the eyebrow raising number of people with questionable profile pictures.

[sweet cliff]

this icon for friendly artillery, all artillery is in the vicinity of mid spawn so you'll have an idea of where the enemies is

Murphy's Laws of Combat
(For HLL)

1. If the enemy is in range, so are you.
2. Incoming fire has the right of way.
3. Don't look conspicuous, it draws fire.
4. There is always a way.
5. The easy way is always mined.
6. Try to look unimportant, they may be low on ammo.
7. Teamwork is essential, it gives them someone else to shoot at.
8. The enemy diversion you have been ignoring will be the main attack.
9. A "sucking chest wound" is natures way of telling you to slow down.
10. If your attack is going well, you have walked into an ambush.
11. Never draw fire, it irritates everyone around you.
12. Anything you do can get you shot, including nothing.
13. Make it tough enough for the enemy to get in and you won't be able to get out.
14. Never share a foxhole with anyone braver than yourself.
15. If you are short of everything but the enemy, you are in a combat zone.
16. When you have secured an area, don't forget to tell the enemy.
17. Friendly Fire Isn't.

[barren anchor]

Hi!

[rancid magnet]

[snow adder]

[hoary spruce]

Once you secure a point, make sure the enemy team knows so they don't keep going behind your lines and attacking it, causing all sorts of headaches.

[rancid magnet]

Sounds more "a place isn't secured if its under attack"

But I might be ruining the joke, it is Murphy's law after all

do i have to be good at geometry to use artillery?

Honestly, use a calc or get a feel for reference on distance/mils (it literally took me like five minutes first time I used arty), and beg for marks from SLs. You get XP for the current role you're using while on arty. If you find a garry to shoot at, guaranteed free kills

does anyone do voice chat for squads in this i havent seen anyone?

Some do, most don't

Mic checks will tell you who

[dawn widget]

Some people have mics but won’t say anything till someone else does. Just start talking and see. Other won’t say anything, but will listen and do what the squad leader says.

@vague kiln

[stark moon]

a lot of servers have rules regarding the commander + SL's requiring mics.. try to find of those, you'll usually end up with more mics in chat

in the very least you know your SL has one

[sweet cliff]

If your SL doesn't have a mic and you feel it's negatively impacting your game you can also make your own squad.

[buoyant rain]

Hello everyone

[clever jungle]

hello there, why does the game reset my mic to default after setting to the correct one?

and how do others hear me crappy when i hear myself having adele voice?

[still vault]

Where are you noticing this reset occur?

[still vault]

As for this, where are you hearing yourself? Inside the game's Test Microphone feature, or in the Windows Settings' Test Microphone page or VoiceMeeter or something?

[clever jungle]

Inside the game "Check Microphone" feature.

[clever jungle]

Well, as soon as I relaunch the game, microphone settings sets automatically to 'Default system device".

That is the idea. Vivox tends to not like any other setting except Windows settings for audio, even conflicting with specifying such devices in Steam Chat as a different example.

Just avoid trying to set it inside the game at this time. The ability to is probably not set up correctly anyway, code-wise.

(From #mess-hall)

This 👇

[iron summit]

I don't see that helmet ingame?

[slim fractal]

Because that's probably locked/not available for you

[iron summit]

Oh okay, but the No Retreat DLC I see the uniform.

[slim fractal]

Yeah, I don't know 🤷

[iron summit]

Wow you have so many helmets that I don't see.

I mean I don't see it for me in HLL.

The 4 last helmets you have there what DLC' are that?

@slim fractal

[uncut jasper]

No Twitch drop helmets 🥱

[slim fractal]

None of these are Twitch drops. I have yet to see any Twitch drops to occur.

[iron summit]

So you technically have every cosmetics that the game have to offer?@slim fractal

[uncut jasper]

Nobody has, but they exist

[slim fractal]

Nope

[slim fractal]

And nope.

I have only those that was given to me. I have not purchased any of the DLCs. And none of these are Twitch drops.

What do you mean given to you?

That 82AD helmet I won in a fanart contest: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/686810/view/2983059015303143939

But rest are KS/pre-order

[iron summit]

Did the devs make a list of every cosmetics in the game because I am interested in it.

[slim fractal]

I think they give extra DLC upon 1.0 launch? I don't remember anymore.

[uncut jasper]

I got something for 1.0, lemme see

[slim fractal]

I was actually working on such list in Reddit but lost interest.

[tall orchid]

i think launch was the silver vanguard for free

then it went on sale

[uncut jasper]

I got silver vanguard, ye

[slim fractal]

I think these too

Silver Vanguard was for everyone, the items above for KS backers, I think. I recall it was a mess and badly communicated process.

[tall orchid]

i think this is everything

sorry, this one

the major KS helmet is the one with the skull iirc

Silver Vanguad DLC is free for all current Hell Let Loose owners, or anyone that plays Hell Let Loose before the 10th August 2021.

I might just be a noob: do those 2 weapons have the same ironsight?

[still vault]

The M1 Garand and M1 Carbine do not. One only has 8 rounds and goes Ping. The other has 15 rounds.

[sweet cliff]

M1 garand also loads from the top, m1 carbine replaces magazines from the bottom

[hoary spruce]

One is obviously better too...

[whole egret]

At a distance of, say, 100m, with an enemy crouch-sprinting across flat ground at a perfect 90* angle to me, how much to I have to lead them? Just enough that the sight ring guard is on them instead of the sight hair?

I've had consistent frustrations with shots like that, either because of clientside lag slowing down the time from the trigger being pulled to the bullet leaving the K98K.

[stark spoke]

jeb is this an elaborate plan to get help with your math homework

[whole egret]

No

I'm way past the point where I'd need help with this kind of thing
On the Railway Depot on Stalingrad, I've never been able to hit Russians sprinting across the railyard

[round kiln]

I mostly shoot them when they are near sight ring. That’s when I hit them most of the time. But yeah the clientside lag can make you miss shots.

[hoary spruce]

Setting for one.

lol

[sweet cliff]

They haven't released any dates

You'll know we're a couple weeks out when they start doing PTEs for U12

At least based on the last 2 updates, this will be the first major update past acquisition

[next lava]

How long was the last PTE? And how long did the release take afterwards? I imagine the testing and tweaking to half-tracks – would take about the same as whether or not to allow spawning on the bridge in Remagen.

[sweet cliff]

They go in batches, like the PTE will be up for a time frame (part of a day), then there will be another PTE, etc. based on past experiences

I believe they work on content/bug fixes up to the last minute or so so each PTE has changes

you could go back and look at past dev briefs

[next lava]

I see, there's some iterative development during the PTE window.

[uncut jasper]

Squad is a much slower-paced shooter than this game is. Squad is more about logistics and coordination with some firefights sprinkled in. Vehicle warfare is much more fleshed out as it's not just tanks. Individual firefights are less common, but more impactful depending on your objective as it takes much longer to get to an area from your nearest FOB. HLL is literally run to this objective (attacking or defending), put down enemies, maybe call out some positions so your SL can relay it. Hope your SL has an OP down and knows how to place garries and you've got the standard gameplay loop down

Basically what I'm saying is that Squad has a much deeper playstyle implemented than HLL. HLL is very simple

[lethal juniper]

Hey there guys. Was looking at buying this but was wondering if anyone knows what the player count is like for Australian/New Zealand players and if there are in servers located in Australia and what kind of player counts they have? Also if you know what kind of ping you get as an Australian on the servers you play on usually that would be great. Thanks

Hi all, I’ve only just got the game for the Xbox. Been playing for a few hours and just can’t get to grips with the game. No matter what I do or where I go, I just get killed. I’m trying as the rifleman to start with but I don’t think I have seen a single enemy player. The zoom doesn’t seem that great and seems to restrict my view more than anything. Anyone have any tips or better settings for the Xbox? I want to enjoy the game but at the moment just feels painful 😂

[dapper gull]

it’s kinda a simulatior so looking down iron sights always cheeks😂

[next lava]

Moving targets are easier to find. Slow down. Move only from cover to cover, taking concealed routes. Scan your surroundings after every bound. Wait and watch for enemy movement. Hope that helps.

[drowsy isle]

Thanks realist, I’ll try although can’t say I’m moving from cover that much at the moment anyway, just doesn’t seem to help 😂 also I’m finding on the Xbox that there isn’t much in the way of communication as virtually all squads I’ve joined so far have all been mute! 😂 will just have to persevere and hope I get better

I’m not gonna say realistic, but I do think it’s comparable to something like a stripped-down hardcore Battlefield right now. If you’re on PC, you can try the game for two hours of playtime and get a refund if it’s not for you

I got my money’s worth tbh

[molten nest]

is the gameplay really slow and how much teamwork and communication is actually needed

[sweet cliff]

Gameplay is not slow

[south quail]

Communication and teamwork is what makes it fun.

All my favorite matches weren't even victories half the time. I just had a great squad.

[molten nest]

nice

also how often does the game get updates

patches and content

[sweet cliff]

U10 was in July of 21, U11 was Dec 21, we're likely close ish to U12 but nobody knows

But coming up on 5 months since the last update and they were talking PTEs, that's a sign the update is probably coming soon-ish but we don't know what their internal benchmarks are

[molten nest]

[tall orchid]

depends on what platform you're playing on

@tall orchid PC

[glass phoenix]

https://steamcommunity.com/app/686810/allnews/ that's what I use for info, not sure if there is a better source, maybe their website idk

[tall orchid]

last major update was U11 on december 7th, followed by a disastrous patch on march 1st and a subsequent hotfix on march 10th. before the console version was a thing, we got 3-4 major content updates per year, looks like we're on track to get maybe two this year

the release date for U12 is anyone's guess, probably june at the earliest. will probably see U13 at the end of 2023

[stoic jasper]

Could someone explain to me the pros and cons of this game? Im thinking about copping it.

[uncut jasper]

Pros and cons in what sense

[stoic jasper]

Like about combat, guns, squad systems. Shit like that.

[uncut jasper]

Combat is straight forward. All guns are zeroed to 100m and generally will one-shot down within that range while rifles can manage that up to 200m. Bullet travel outside of the SMGs and pistols is pretty negligible when leading shots. Gun fights are generally over pretty quick, but are also pretty common to run into because of the respawning mechanics in this game. Think of it like Battlefield in that sense. Headshots are an instant kill and straight to the respawn screen. Squad mechanics are passable, make more sense if some people in the squad are actually using their mics and communicating. Basically, the SL can build OPs for your squad and Garrisons for the team as well as relay info to you from other SLs or the commander. There's a marking/ping system to help with that. It's honestly pretty barebones compared to something like Squad, but HLL is def more focused on the infantry combat experience more than anything else. It's really not a hard game to pick up or even do well in. Recommend you play with some friends or make some in game to enjoy it more above all else

[errant grove]

random af but i'd be interested to see how things would turn out if the development style and effort put into HLL was moved into a different time period, and what would fit it if not a ww2 scenario

Vietnam War, probably, the amount of automatic weapons are already anachronistic, and the Airheads basically act like air cavalry.

I don't think there is room in Vietnam War, having at least one mod (Vietnam mod for Squad) and one full game (Burning Lands, said to be mix of Squad and HLL) WIP in the coming years.
