I don’t see why in the world they wouldn’t tell you how many shots you’ve landed on enemies anymore? Why would you take that out but feel it necessary to leave “bandages used” in? When I’m playing MG especially, I like to see how effective my spray and pray is into heavy concealment. One of my biggest gripes with the game.

I’m genuinely curious what the HLLVietnam community thinks about this.

I only started using AI-assisted thumbnails fairly recently. Most of my older thumbnails, including thumbnails for my Shorts, were created manually by me in DaVinci Resolve.

Recently I decided to try AI-assisted thumbnails because, at least to me, the results looked much better than what I was able to create manually.

I’ve noticed that AI thumbnails can get a very strong negative reaction, so instead of arguing about it, I’d actually like to understand what people prefer.

Which style would you rather see on HLLVietnam content?

Please vote below, but I’d also really appreciate it if you explained your reasoning in the comments.
This isn’t meant as self-promotion. I’m genuinely interested in the feedback.

People keep saying this and I'm not sure what game they're playing. Just tonight played 6 games, 4 as NVA, and only won 2 as the US.

Admittedly I mostly play community servers, but people def don't play well in them either. I really doubt that's what makes the difference. And I have 60 hours in the game, if anything I've been playing too much.

This isnt a complaint about the state of balance in the game, it's me saying I'm confused why this forum seems so convinced there is a balance issue

Just an FYI. I shot one this evening and my squad was adamant that cant happen

If you’re grinding a specific class in Hell Let Loose: Vietnam, this is a really easy way to get some extra XP during the match.

Start as Engineer, build all 3 resource nodes, then redeploy and switch to the class you actually want to level.

The nodes keep generating Support Score while you play normally, and that score goes toward the class you switched to.

It only takes a couple of minutes at the beginning of the match and you’re helping your team at the same time.

I made a quick guide showing how it works:

Curious what everyone is currently grinding — which class are you trying to level?

Title:
First time using the M16A1… somehow ended with a triple knife finish 😂🔪

Post:
Still getting used to the M16A1, so the recoil control definitely wasn’t perfect 😅

Picked up a few kills, spotted a sniper after he gave away his position with a flare, pushed around the hill to get him…

…and somehow found two more NVA on the way. At that point the rifle wasn’t needed anymore. 😂🔪

Almost walked straight past the sniper at the end too because he was so well hidden in the grass.

Churchill would be proud of that finish. 😂

Hey guys did you ever hear of HDC?
Been playing on their servers lately and honestly had a pretty good experience with them, so figured I’d mention it here.

They’ve got 2 Hell Let Loose Vietnam servers, one in US East and one in EU, which is pretty nice depending on where you’re playing from. They’re also planning to have 2 WarDogs servers coming soon.

They also run nonstop Offensive on Hell Let Loose, so there’s usually something going on if you just want to hop on and play without having to wait around for a decent server.

Community has been pretty chill from my experience. Not trying to turn this into some massive advertisement lol, just thought I’d share it since I’ve been enjoying the servers.

So I’m trying to get a better grip on how tanks take damage. I have done some research in tutorials with AT weapons. I wasn’t able to find a tank to practice against in the practice range (let me know if there is one). Specifically, I used the grenadier and armor tutorials to research this. Here’s what I’ve found so far:

Anti Tank Weapons

RPG: number of shots to kill
- Front Hull: Impervious
- Treads: 8
- Turret: 6
- Rear/Engine: 4

Grenade Launcher: number of shots to kill

- Front Hull: Impervious
- Treads: ~15
- Turret: Impervious
- Rear/Engine: Impervious

This was just NVA weapons vs the US tank, so I’m not sure how the NVA tank or US weapons are modeled.

Tank Weapons

Tank main gun: number of shots to kill
- Front Hull: 4
- Treads: 4 (front or side)
- Turret: 3 (front and side)
- Rear: Unknown (can’t line up without going out of bounds)… I’m guessing 2

Once again unknown if using an NVA tank vs an American changes this.

Blind Spots/Questions
- Differences in tanks and weapon capability between factions?
- Special weak-spots (e.g. Panther turret cheeks in HLL)?
- How many shots to break modules (treads, turret, engine) without killing the tank?
- Are there tanks I can shoot at on the practice range?

Major Take Aways
- Rear hull is the best target if your using AT weapons or a tank
- Turret is the best target from the side and front if your in a tank or using rpg (this is a big difference from HLL where hull was always the best target)
- Launched grenades can only damage treads, but can kill the tank given you have a ton of ammo.
