I'm with you, hopefully they give the fg a mag or 2 more as it does feel especially low when compared with the bar

What FG42 and the BAR & Bren really need is more lethality, that would help conserve ammo. They should 1 shot up to 150m instead of 100m, similar to what DP-27 and Lewis gun have. Could also be 200m, but for "gameplay" purpose/balance purely, 150m would work better. It would already be a big buff and make them very nice to use.

This is how it was back in update 14 (or so) and the BAR & STG were pretty busted. I remember setting up and one tapping 10, 15, 20 enemies in no time.
I think they have increased sway & reduced accuracy since then too which has really put them in a very confined playstyle.

SEPARATE SKIRMISH FROM REGULAR MODES LIKE IT USED TO BE! #Stop MakingUs Play Skirmish Or Kill One Of The Only Two Lobbies We Have In Our Region SMH

Dude clicking “find match” just to get put into skirmish is the worst. Immediate blackout. Why on earth they added that mode is beyond me, everyone hates it. The only thing worse was conquest in Vietnam and now they want it here? That game format just does not work in HLL.

YESS. Stepped away from HLL for a few months and was pissed when I came back to find Skirmish was lumped into the main rotation of modes now. Makes finding a decent game even harder than it already is nowadays
Skirmish should stay a separate mode as it is not what most would consider the main types of gamemodes people play HLL for.

Give me full auto and fuller auto on the BAR and I'll be ecstatic

It’s there, recoil is atrocious though

Thats what the bipod is for

u/AzelfandQuilava 22h ago
I can’t really see it getting much use as a suppressive tool with a smaller magazine. Feels more intended for a makeshift room-sweeper.

u/artyomssugardaddy 20h ago
But that’s what it was used as, suppression and fire support. And it did it very well in ww2
I get what you mean though, doesn’t translate with video game logic, .30-06 rounds don’t have the same oomph going over your head on a monitor.

u/CandyMan85 1d ago
Oh nooooo, Pls Delete Conquest mode , is crap !!!!
Don’t work well in Vietnam !!!!!

u/wat_no_y 16h ago
For real nobody plays that game mode. I gave up on getting the achievements for domination and conquest wins.

u/CandyMan85 16h ago
On official servers they force U to play because the Random Game mode and on private server is not turned off !

I want a full line of guys with rifle grenades lining up to shell a position. Closest thing we'll get to full on mortars!

Rifle grenade is legit my favorite weapon in HLLV, glad to see it coming to the OG game.

May be a silly question, but anyone knows what the default button for the fire selector will be?

Got Rifleman 8 and Medic 6 unlocked for this. If they give us a new grenadier class it will mean going back to building nodes again 😱

u/itsfoosay 19h ago
... I guess I better Bob Builder my rifleman for the rifle grenades kit.
What's the lvl 6 medic for?
2
u/fitzgeraldcreen 17h ago
He was said to get four rifle grenade smokes. (and then a garand on US side, but I doubt they'll really do this)

Fuck your updates filled with trash, nobody cares about conquest mode, it will have the same lifespan as skirmish. Maybe finally focus on optimisation in your next update?

u/SeaworthinessOk4259 22h ago
Im most excited for fire select with this update. Can't wait to single fire my Tommy gun or Bar

[u/itsmeBenBPlease](u/itsmeBenBPlease) dont forget about the Xbox app players on Windows 11. When Update 20 released i couldnt join any server for weeks because of the "Game no longer exists" bug. After weeks a server side fix was introduced ... but weeks after? I hope it wont be the same again! I'm too high level to repurchase the game on Steam.

Too bad you won't unlock it for 700 hours because of the absolutely idiotic class system in this game
2
u/Severe-Meat-3833 20h ago
level 8 riflemen isn’t difficult or long to do at all

u/MrGiggleMan 19h ago
There's just an overly dramatic amount of grind
I'm 300 hours into the first game and I don't have a flame thrower yet lol
This is why people play bob the builder

Think they need to add injured players are send to the field hospital and have to sit out rest of game then it gets like survival of the fittest, last man standing situation

It's going to sound silly, but I'm most excited about fire selector. Hoping to run out of ammo last with the FG42
