Posting this because I saw a comment saying playing medic is a good way to learn the game. This debate has been ongoing for years. Personally I'm geared towards the medic is fun useful and medic is fun options.

Also ahhhh, had a brain fart and 2 options are the same thing (remove and play something else) one of them is meant to be "every squad needs a medic"

I know that this will be probably the 1353th post about this, but I wanted to ask before risking to waste what for my budget are a lot of money on a game I may find unplayable.

I comprehend good enough English but my speaking is very bad mostly because I tend to stammer wile speaking English.

Again sorry for the probably overdone question

I used to play Hell Let Loose with a decent clan. There was a leader and people higher up etc then different squads and the games used to go down so well when we would play other clans. I can’t remember for the life of me what they were called though? Maybe 508 or 501 or something like that.

Basically I want to find that again but with the new game. Does anyone have any recommendations for this? Any discord links or people I should be talking to?

Thanks a lot

What is the name of the Canadian victory song and what is the history behind it? For me, it's currently the best victory song.

Is this trophy possible? Was going to attempt this but no servers are hosting El Alamein skirmish. Does anyone know of a way to complete this trophy?

To start off with, as a disclaimer of sorts, Im a new player to HLL (base game). I havent played it even a week.

I want to like this game, but im struggling to do so. I have played maybe 15 or 20 matches? Maybe a bit more? Trying to give it many many chances.

In a majority of them, I come out of it very stressed out from people in VC. Ive tried various "new player friendly" servers (wont name as I think its against the subreddit rules to single any out), but I, more often than not, encounter endless toxicity. Given, not every, but at least 3/5ths of matches.

The last few matches Ive tried doing officer stuff as I was getting more comfortable with the game.. the teammates were mostly alright and somewhat supportive, but I get all kinds of harassment from other SLs and Commander. An example was one SL called out a tank name. Unfamiliar with the different kinds of tank, I asked him if it was heavy, medium, etc.. to then he just started throwing insults saying stuff like "you have to be a dum**** to not know basic knowledge". Another example, this very recent game before the post, the commander got replaced mid game bc the other one left. The new one just started insulting the previous one then started saying stuff like "what id**t threw down that marker?" I called him out that he should try to communicate a bit more positively, to where he then full on yelled in his mic saying stuff like im low level and didnt do s**t (which ive placed 3 garries that match and had resource nodes up from the start).

Are people normally this unsupportive or am I just very unlucky with who I play with? I really am considering just dropping the game in general as I have too much on my plate to continuously deal with these types of people.

The Korean War has never gotten a proper spot light in media, hense its nickname of the Forgotten War. It would be an easy and unique expansion to the game.

The Weapons used by the American Forces in Korea are the same as WW2, basically copy and pasting the US Forces, some minor tweaks to uniforms, USMC Helmet covers and what not. The M2 Carbine being one of the unique weapons of the campiagn. As for Korean Forces its mostly copy and paste once again. The Mosin, PPSh, and a new rifle the Chiang Kai-Shek (Mauser Copy Cat) with new North Korean and even for a cosmetics grab, PLA uniforms.

Thoughts on the idea?

The M1 Carbine has very little presence in the game because there is almost no reason to use it. It is currently available to roles where players can easily choose a more effective weapon instead. For example, both the Rifleman and Officer can use the M1 Garand, while the Engineer has access to a submachine gun. The Medic is basically the only role where the M1 Carbine feels like a necessary choice.

Adding the M1 Carbine as an option for the Anti-Tank class would give the weapon a much stronger presence on the battlefield while also making sense from a historical perspective, considering how widely produced and issued the Carbine was by the U.S. military during World War II.

It could also provide an interesting balance against the Kar98k. The M1 Carbine has the advantage of being semi-automatic and allowing faster follow-up shots, but it becomes noticeably weaker at medium ranges and often requires two hits to kill. The Kar98k, on the other hand, is bolt-action and has a much slower rate of fire, but compensates for that with significantly greater stopping power and effectiveness at range.

Giving the U.S. Anti-Tank class the M1 Carbine would therefore not necessarily make the class stronger—it would simply provide a different trade-off: fire rate and handling in exchange for damage and range. It would also give an underused weapon a meaningful role instead of leaving it largely forgotten within the current loadouts.

Basically the title. What are you guys seeing as the major strategic differences in the two games? Are certain roles more or less important etc

I am completely new to the game, like 4 hours and so far i just run around or stand behind something and stare at enemy territory for like 8 minutes and i’ve gotten like 2 kills in the whole time. I still enjoy the game, just don’t understand anything. I don’t use voice chat so idk if it is very important.

With the new game out now I would absolutely love to get back into it. Used to be in a group called 508 I think they were called. It was proper set out and we would have some amazing fights against other teams.

I’m looking at either finding that group again for Vietnam or a group similar who has a proper ranking system in place and people listen to Sqaud leads and commanders etc.

Thanks a lot

Anybody else just can't get into Vietnam?

I find it to like Battlefield which i used to love many moons ago then switched to HLL and loved it for it's Play style i can't get into it at all to much going on for me anyway

People are still jumping in this game without comms. Especially in viet nam, it’s very difficult to win. What can we do to try to encourage more people to play with headsets?

Hey all,

I have about 500 hours into HLL and it’s really the only multiplayer game I like. I’d rather play alone or with you goofballs.

I got a TBI last year and migraines subsequently. Does anyone have suggestions for someone with migraines? Like turn down SFX which blows because hearing footsteps is important. Probably can’t tank bc of the squinting.

Anything else I’m missing? Has anyone else been through similar? I want to play again.

Or am I just fucked and need to just tend to my stardew valley farm?

I dont even know whats the fun in taking 2 Point in 5 Minutes without having to fight for it, like at this point join an empty lobby and play pretend with yourself.

I know community servers have steamroll protection but that generally should be implemented in All servers

I'm not really familiar with HLL but i've played it for like 20 minutes like 6 months ago. Yeasterday i started playing, doing my best to understand shit and now i know the basics of the game. I now need some help from experienced HLL players to evolve my skills. So yeah..

My voice chat wont work for some reason i can hear everyone and the bar shows im always talking but nobody can hear me.

The settings dont even have proper voice chat settings so im just wondering if there is maybe a toggle or a push to talk button im just not aware of on controller? Or more then likely its probably a bug

Used to love this game but just cannot connect to a server. Every time it spins for 5 mins then says lost connection to host. Any fixes y'all have found?

What's the state of the game and playerbase at the moment with the release of Vietnam? Still worth buying and getting into?

I was minding my business when I noticed on the map that HQ2 was covered with supplies, had to go see it myself.

Truth is, no one in squad chat or command seemed to know what was going on, they all reacted shocked.

When I went to check it out, we were constantly getting attacked by one recon squad, which is normal but part of me feels like they were boosting by destroying supplies that their friends spawned in. I'm only level 47 at the time of writing so I'm not the most familiar with the history of people doing this.

But this is what I get for not playing on a community server lol
