It's a short read but it covers how the spawn system and the two game modes work and so on.

What are the in vehicle kills? I've got tankers getting 95 infantry and 47 in vehicle kills

strong oracle
#

Good tankers will get 80+ kills a game

#

My highest was 115ish

shadow goblet
#

Yeah I've got guys in my Unit doing say 95 infantry kills...but on the same scorecard has 47 "in vehicle kill"

sweet cliff
#

Are you on console?

shadow goblet
#

Since they swung this update at us they took the vehicle kills away and its this now and no one knows what it is exactly and yes on Console.

strong oracle
#

Then my aar is different than yours I believe

#

I just look at kills, vehicle kills and deaths

shadow goblet
#

Nuts, We don't even have a vehicle kill category anymore

strong oracle
#

#

@strong oracle thats what they look like now haha

#

Well that's weird, that occupies the spot vehicle kills does on the PC stat screen but you certainly didn't destroy 47 vehicles in one match, did you

strong oracle

#

Huh

#

Like I like it, but don’t like where it’s placed

shadow goblet
strong oracle
#

Perhaps they are trying to remove death counts to encourage more dangerous gameplay?

#

Like is it for kills you got while you were in the vehicle, or amount of people you killed that were inside a vehicle

So vague considering what it’s replacing

VOIP just has issues sometimes, you can try reconnecting in the audio settings, or you can restart the game.

Good evening fellas I just bought the game because I've got that old Red Orchestra 2 itch coming back after watching some youtube clip

  1. How do I affix the bayonet and why aren't there bayonets in the game
  2. How do I make my rifle smaller on the screen, it's too big and I don't like how modern games make weapons take 1/3rd of the screen, viewmodel_fov slider?
  3. How similar is it really to Red Orchestra? Will I like the game?

hello I may buy this game this week and i was wondering is it cross play?
Is it like BFV and is the atmosphere good does it really feels like a war?
I saw a gameplay of this game and i am interested in ww2 games like hoi4, bf5.

It's cross play between PS/Xbox but not between console/PC

probably a total noob question but I have some weird situations sometimes.

  1. Enemy is visible to me - not too far away. I am shooting like 30 rounds or so and he keeps walking. I tried hitting the main body/legs/head/firing ahead of his path etc.

  2. Enemy is completely out of view. Before I die I see roughly where the shot came from. Nothing at all visible that there was an enemy. Not even a dot. How can he see me? I assume a sniper? I then spawn 3-4 times again and go completely different locations on the map. Same thing seems to happen. I see no one and then bam a shot out of nowhere in front of me and I am dead.

  3. I spawn in a house and run out the back/side. Away from any action. About 20-30 meters from the house I suddenly get hit by artillery. I am completely alone and there is no one else around. Why would artillery go down in the middle of nowhere?

#

Or is there some kind of setting that I am missing to view further?

I've just started my first game and after around 10 min and having killed 5 or 6 enemies I was banned from the server for cheating, I have never cheated in my life which is why I'm a bit surprised, especially since it's a hardcore shooter witch basically one shot one kill, did anyone else experience that?

zenith hamlet
#

I got kicked but not banned

young cloak
#

yeah a kick seems more reasonable, how can they know if i'm cheating based on 10 minutes of gameplay and not even crazy stats

  1. another weird situation. I am crawling with 8 other people along a field. I am somewhere in the middle of the group and only I get shot
#

1 hit - I didn't even see anyone. There was even a hill beside me

#

#

I am in a house

Honestly no clue, sounds like you're on crack or smth since these are all super one off things that can create suspicion of someone hacking, but at the same time I can not relate at all nor' have I ever seen a hacker in my 160 hours

And this is my professional infographic on how new players get killed in fields.

Your eyes are lower then your players big egg head. So you end up showing your helmet when thinking you're safe behind lots of these little dirt mounds, grass etc.

#

Yeah, but i honestly don't think that's a bad thing

#

It kind of makes the whole movement of the game unique

#

The only real gripe I have currently with movement and stuff related to that are the bipods on the MG. Placing a bipod in most trenches will result with your entire line of sight being obstructed by grass.

I really don't get the aiming in this game.

I tried it as a rifleman and as machine gunner.
Enemy is visible to me - not super far away (I am on his backside - he is not moving), full body. I try aiming directly, slightly above, had/body in general etc.
single shots, short bursts, or just full auto. 2-3 full magazines. The guy doesn't die.

He spots me for half a second and 1 shots me through cover.

How do I even know that I hit him/where my bullets hit? There is no indicator for any impact?
I also have no indicator from where bullets are coming from.
Or am I missing something?

In another case (the train map) I am hiding in between some rubble in a house hiding there for like 5 minutes without moving.
Then I peak out of a hole and I immediately get shot from the other side of the map with full-auto instantly dead.
How would he know I was there and how can he hit me that far away with full auto

Quick question: is there a setting on PC to allow for tank turret to be aimed with mouse instead of WASD keys?

sweet cliff
#

No

#

If you had a joy stick or something you could use something like joy2key

granite cedar
#

Thats unfortunate. Thanks for letting me know

sweet cliff
#

I don't think it would be a very useful aiming method though you need to be precise and that would be hard with a mouse as weird as that might sound.

#

Because you don't want to be over traveling and making really small changes when bumping your mouse or anything.

#

I think you might be able to emulate what you want with joy2key though even with a regular mouse but you'd need to toggle it on/off as you got into the gunners seat

red remnant
#

Why is no one playing on official servers?

sweet cliff
red remnant
#

I mean, is there a hacker issue in this game?

sweet cliff
#

Yes but no if you play on community servers because bans are shared between servers.

#

If you're playing on moderated servers no.

#

The amount of cheaters isn't large, but they generally get caught very quickly.

#

Sorry when I say 0 moderation I mean that there are no admins, they probably also share in that ban system (would be my guess at least), but it probably isn't as quick, and it also doesn't take things that actively moderated servers will do like boot team killers, toxic people, handle harassment, etc.

#

I shouldn't say 0 moderation because I think there's some potential that they manage ban lists centrally for all of them with the same cheating reports, but you can't ping someone and have them show up in server and handle an issue like you can on a community server.

You need to join a recon squad that already has a spotter in it. Spotter is the “officer” of recon, so you become spotter when creating a recon squad and can’t switch to sniper. It can be tough if you don’t find someone to group up with and play to set it up, as most spotters have a friend joining

Oy look what I found on the roadmap

summer saddle
#

Aight for all the newbies out there, place, replace, and protect garrisons! Try not to just rush directly into a point but cut the point off from any spawn points, then make your way inside the point, play for the purpose of being a crucial member of the squad NOT for the purpose of simply killing the enemy. I recommend learning roles like support, engineer, anti-tank until you learn the ins-and-outs of the game fundamentals. While these roles may seem “complex,” in reality they aren’t bad AT ALL and they actually will provide a massive help in learning the functions of each game.

#

I know that’s random but just felt like it may help to a certain degree 🙂

it is negligible unless you are using a sniper rifle

so you just hit where you point?

for the most part, there is a little drop but it doesn't matter since body shots with a rifle will usually OHK

well in that case, i hope im free to ask a question 😄 im somewhat new, only like lv35 or so. i read in the wiki about garrisons and found that they show enemy near in 50m radius and get disabled in 15m, but then it says that red zone garrisons lock at 100m already, dont they just mean it shows enemies within 100m? or how does it really work as it would seem weird if forward garris already get locked at 100m. its not how it feels in game either

sweet cliff
#

Blue zone garries show a red ! When enemies are near, red zone garries lock and prevent spawning at 100m

#

Just like a blue zone garry does when someone is close

fierce birch
#

huh, so they really do lock at 100m already? thats wild, well thanks

that explains why i sometimes couldnt find the enemy to clear a garri 😄

# dawn widget annoying for engineers trying to make nodes

Did you consider rotating on support and dropping supplies for yourself in the HQ? There are good hiding spots so you almost never lose those nodes. You also get additional points for dropping supplies for yourself (drop the ammo/he boxes too, and plant mines).
You will finish these nodes at around the same time as if you got the first truck at the beginning of the game. The only disadvantage is sometimes you have to jump from squad to squad when switching between engineer and support. But fortunately engineer and support are very often not taken in squads (a major sin in my estimate), so I literally do this every single game.

The first supply truck should always be used for garrison building (at least it gives your team a huge advantage compared to an earlier set of nodes). And what grinds my gears is engineers that leave supply trucks on nodes in the middle of nowhere. If you get the supply truck, at least bring it to a nearby garrison or an HQ so that SLs can use it for backup garrisons. Ofc it's still a hundred times better than a team of 50 where noone else bothers to get those nodes up, so props for doing your part soldier. ico_HLLSalute

There is enough time in the warm up for command to drop a second supply truck, so it doesn’t really matter who takes the first one imo. But yes, please always return your trucks to the shopping cart corral when finished.

I laugh when people get upset over taking the first one as engi, although I won’t if there’s no command, and I at least wait if anyone else so chooses to get in

# strong oracle No but more than 5 minutes a day would be nice

Dawg, game devs across the industry have essentially been in a state of perpetual crunch for 25 years. I can guarantee they spend almost every waking hour working on the game and probably wanted it out long ago as well, but that's just not how it works a majority of the time. Add in the fact that they're targeting parity with the console version, and things slow down even more. BM is also a small international studio as well, so not everyone's under the same roof. BM is also now corporately backed, which introduces its own share of changes and arguably issues.

#

T17 aren't even the main devs of the game yet

#

I'm not excusing them for the lack of communication or transparency or even the (subjective) quality of the game itself, but still; I guarantee they've been working on it a ton

# cyan slate I have a question, what do the different factions do well in? I've heard Germany...

Tanks are 1:1 with the exception of the light tanks in each faction. The factions are mostly 1:1 in offense/defense with the exception of some base infantry differences. It's really the maps that are going to affect how a faction will perform unless the team is on top of it. The Russian maps are rough to play on, it's either roll or get rolled; I haven't seen many close matches in that regard compared to Western Front.

Sometimes people can be a bit harsh especially to newer players, I don't agree with that and will usually try to get them to settle down.
Then there's people who get salty at their team...Like genuinely angry-salty...Well just can't help but laugh at.
I mean we all get a bit angry, sure. But when people get so butt-mad especially blaming the team they're apart of...Idk the irony's kinda funny.

# fossil mesa How do I get better

Ask folks in-game in local or squad chat. Follow your squad leader if you don't know what else to be doing, literally stick to them like glue or until they tell you to do something specific. If not the squad leader, literally just cling to the closest guy next to you and follow them around as if they know what they're doing. Did they get shot going around a corner? Don't go that way.

Better yet, don't follow a mob. Squad size is ok but two or three squads all heading in the same narrow path? You're asking to get mowed down. I'd rather spend a minute taking a detour than a minute in the respawn screen followed by all the time getting back to the exact same spot to die on again.

When I really tried to blend in I'd use the default face with the default uniform, but usually style won out over substance

#

I mean unless you’re gonna face snipers and go face to face with the enemy blending in is kinda useless

#

And if you’re going face to face you want an SMG not a rifle

So I guess you can use the semi auto for blending in and just wear a stalhelm instead of a cap

#

My time maining SL mostly consisted of BSing with the pubs who had mics and doing my best to keep them engaged and entertained enough to go along with whatever lengthy flanking maneuver I had in mind.

This was also back in the days of putting nodes as far forward as possible... Before supply trucks. so I often had the unfortunate task of doing that because nobody else would. Which means half my squad is running around headless while me, the supply guy (RIP, you killed yourself a lot) and the engi were off in a corner somewhere far away from everything building.

Actually, looks like the wiki is finally catching up, looked barebones last time I checked

Anyone know if when you host a server you can choose which missions are next?

#

I kind of hate attack and defend but LOVE warfare. If I snag my own server can I choose only Warfare maps?

sweet cliff
#

You can choose the map rotation yes.

#

But be aware it isn't as simple as just paying for a server, you have to seed the server (kick start it with a batch of players every day so that random players will show up) and it requires active moderation to, even if vote kicks are enabled.

cyan slate
#

Seed the server like 4 people? I have a small group of friends but I don’t have 15 of them lol

sweet cliff
#

Well, realistically speaking 4 people isn't enough no, because what's going to happen is the larger communities out there are going to have more than 4 people, they'll pile on, and players that are looking to join a server that isn't full are much more likely to go to a server that has say 10 or 15 people on it than one that has 4.

#

You'll end up in perpetual seeding hell where you have those couple people on, but you just keep getting jumped.

#

You can hop on https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/hll/ and filter down to servers for your region, servers that aren't empty, sort descending, and at the time of day you're trying to seed you can see the competition.

#

I mean you can certainly try, I don't want to discourage you just make you aware of the actual amount of work you're setting out to undertake.

#

It's hard to boot strap a community and it takes a community to make a community server successful.

cyan slate
#

How would you recommend I get server pop to increase? Are there people willing to help me seed? I would be up for moderating and helping the community grow

sweet cliff
#

82nd AD and 16th IR in that example are going to suck up all the players until they fill up.

#

#pc-seeding-help but I wouldn't count on that at all. You can also try just joining an existing community, different places manage their map pools in different ways.

#

and it's not that you can't make a community, just starting from scratch is hard, you could get a discord, get all your friends and try to get some of them to find friends and so on, if you get that small nucleus you can grow from there but it's tough.

cyan slate
#

Hm. I may have too small of a friend group to jump start a server then. I really like this game and want to be part of the community but for the love of god I despise offense and defense. Warfare is more my pace lol

sweet cliff
#

and if the only thing you're looking to do is pick maps, I'd just join an existing community that lets you give input on the map rotation. What region are you in?

cyan slate
#

US

#

US west if thats more specific

#

You may want to give NPA a look, they have two servers, I believe one of them is west.

cyan slate
#

sweet cliff
#

Yeah the server queue struggle is real.

cyan slate
#

Kinda why I wanted to make a server as well. All my friends have a hub to hang out in without worrying about ques ;D

sweet cliff
#

For sure, you could always give it a shot for a few months and see how it goes if you don't mind spending the money (you have to pay one of the service providers, there's no privately hosted HLL servers)

#

If you don't want to try to set up/host the server management software (RCON, there's a free community version) Battlemetrics has a paid version of that as well.

#

But you could pay for VIP to a server all year for yourself for what it would cost you to host a HLL server for a month, maybe less.

#

For instance for a 100 player server from Nitrado you're looking at about $90/month, you can get VIP on different community servers for anywhere from $5-10/month, it's going to depend on the community and how many servers they run and so forth.

cyan slate
#

Gotcha

#

Welp. Maybe I’ll just tough it out. If I had more friends playing this game then I’d absolutely love having my own server.

#

Price isn’t much of a deterrent. I like the game and its community enough 😄

There's all sorts of NA communities out there, maybe just play on some different NA ones and if you find one you like most of them have discords.

Hehe. Yeah, interestingly, I've never played any other shooters.

brazen apex
#

From what I have seen. Any metric that other FPS games use to determine "skill" are totally pointless here. Or seemingly so. Those guys that go 75-0 running around with their smg would almost assuredly downvote HLL. Most weapons kill with one shot, you have nothing to tell you a grenade is nearby, hell even incoming arti is a guessing game on where it's gonna land. It's a blast.

It can be tough to get into full servers, but if you find a server that has say 40-80 people on it (and it isn't the middle of the night) it will fill quickly

Otherwise you'll end up fighting the queue a bit if the server is full.

That's when you take a server from 0 players to a self sustaining population, most servers will have different rules to facilitate that

Such as only fighting over the mid point and preventing the use of armor and artillery but it depends on the server

west dawn

Ah, gotcha.

Have to kick start it with a batch of people because nobody is joining an empty server, but once you get 10 or 15 people they'll start to show up

west dawn
#

And.. people pay for private servers to show up on the list?

sweet cliff
#

Yes there are both official servers provided by the developers and privately run (community) servers that are paid for by the members, most servers pay for it by letting paying members skip the queue for a few bucks a month

#

Theres only a small number of companies allowed to host HLL servers so you have to pick from those, prices vary depending on options but i think they're all under $100 or so a month

If you're willing to rotate through support when the SL needs a box of supplies to build a garry you're doing better than 75% of the player base pretty much

If you have ever seen camo netting you will be aware that it’s intended to either hide the equipment from the enemy or break up the lines of whatever it’s hiding.
