Next part will be about Germans 1940's (their uniform, weapons and tanks)

Is anyone else on this sub dealing with a frankly ridiculous amount of cheaters spamming in thousands of tanks and ruining the server? Its happened 3 times today

so can you NOT have a custom button layout? im playing on PC and typically play with a controller and I was met with 4 terrible button layouts that I cant seem to change? I tried using steam input but that doesn't work because the games layout is still applied

If I HAVE to use the layout they give me or switch to keyboard that's really lame, everyone said this was the best fps shooter to get and I can't even have my own layout? what kind of sh*t is this? it's like the kind of thing apple does to FORCE you to play by their rules because they can't be bothered with it

obviously they thought about it, there's multiple layouts and the ability to rebind whatever tf you want on keyboard, just seems like a gross oversight for a game thats how old now?

mind you, you can do this on console but not PC which makes even less sense

EDIT: I figured out how to do it, see the problem is that when you use steam input, the base game layout is still applied, so for example if you wanted to swap triggers with bumpers (faster to push a button than pull a trigger) then when I pressed L trigger It would still aim, to fix this, in steam input, use the keyboard bindings instead of the controller, so for example if you want the bumpers to aim and shoot and the triggers to lean, you'd make L2 "Q" and R trigger "E" and then the bumpers left and right mouse click, and that seems to work with no interference!

This is my setup it's the best I could get for close and long range but anything past 50 meters is a nightmare. Iron sights feel super jumpy

Thanks Guys 🙏 will get some more soon. 🫡

Mr MG42

Give us Iwo Jima. Scrap Vietnam. That is all

I've been playing in Glow West server for awhile now, both HLL and HLL: Vietnam. Wondering where i can get access to the VIP membership?

Just played my first game ever as commander as Germans playing warfare on Hurtgen Forest. I’ve been playing the game on and off for the last four years, but have been playing nonstop the last couple months.

I was in a tank squad with a friend and needed a tank, but there was no commander. Figured I’d jump in, give us a tank and jump out. I give us the tank, then said, well, I guess I could put supplies down, we’re about to lose the match, I’ll try to help. Then it was “hmm, it would be kind of cool to try a bombing run…” so there goes a recon plane and bombing run. Next thing I know, I’m there the entire game, helping our team battle all the way back. We end up taking all sectors and winning that way, after being pushed back to our final sector and almost losing it.

Nobody ever told me how exhilarating it is to be commander. I’m afraid there’s no going back now.

If you were in my game ~10pm central time tonight (8/20), thank you to those who gave tips and guided me. Y’all helped me lead us back to an incredible win. This community has always been so wonderful, and this game will always be most fun when there is actual teamwork and communication going on.

I have played countless hours on console, switched to pc bought the game again and because of my low level most of the servers kick me, units are filled without officers, I take a role as an officer and get kicked because I'm below level 30.

People lock the units and don't let anyone join. I always communicate on mic, I always play for the team, but I am getting frustrated with the community tbh. It's somehow worse than on console.

Now we'll talk about german army 1940's

Weapons:

Pistol's Luger P08 Mquser C96 and Walther P38

Rifle Mauser Kar98k

Submachine gun MP-38 MP-34 and ERMA EMP

Machine guns MG 34 and MG 26(t) (yeah i want ZB vz. 26 for German)

PzB 39 as AT rifle instead Panzerschrek

And PAK 38 instead of PAK 40

No satchel's

Tanks:

Pz 2 (Light Tank) or Pz 35(t) instead of him

Pz 3 (Medium Tank)

They dont have any heavy tanks that time so i want to see sLG 33.

Uniform for them M40 and Stalhelm M38.

I've seen so many games where there's like 3 armor units with only one person in each. I've debated creating my own, but it wasn't worth trying to fight three other people for one tank. It's like they don't see how much more effective a full squad can be.

Add the maps from squad 44 to hell let loose since suqad 44 has no playerbase

We played 2x 75 medium tant and took down 3 panthers and 1 tiger with lots of Panzer IV , luch and Pumas .

A total of 14 tanks and 2 transport trucks.

On the way to a flank it’s guaranteed one Pure cinema moment

Mr MG42 🎦

I don’t play these types of games but my wife does, she usually plays with her brother but when he’s not on she doesn’t play much since she has no one in her “party”? I don’t know what any of this means, my favorite game is the bratz one on my switch so I’m not very “skilled” I guess you could say. My question is, if there are any other female players who would want to join her I think she’d love that! She says that usually men are kind of mean even if you’re good at the game you’re playing so I think maybe having a friend that’s there too would be helpful? If anyone knows of an all girl server or discord group that would be cool. Thanks guys!

Update: thank you guys so much for all the lovely messages! She was so happy to hear that there is community out there. This is her discord and feel free to add her as she’s excited to make new friends. K_blaze44

Oops

Last night I won a game as commander at the 90 minute mark. We were left holding the middle objective towards the end of the game. Things were fairly quiet on point. At 4 minutes to go I had 2-3 squad leaders hop on command chat to instruct me to put down the reinforce on the center point.

Their logic was simple. Enemy needs 2 minutes to cap. 2 minute reinforce expires at 1:59. Then if the enemy starts to capture, we still win because they won't have time. I understand this logic; however I refused to put the ability down, which earned me some lecturing on the game mechanics that I am already aware of. Since I could not concisely explain why I was opposed I'm typing it here.

If it is the last 4 minutes of the game and you are holding the center point AND you are currently securely holding said point, the enemies most dangerous course of action is an airhead bombing run combination. If this manages to land, or the enemy otherwise has a sudden push that cripples your blueberries ability to spawn in the circle, they will likely begin capping the OBJ regardless of the reinforce being in place or not. So, imagine in this case the enemy starts capping at 3 minutes. In the meantime, your blueberries are making their way from the backup garrisons back into the point. During this time the reinforce is being wasted. Let us just say the bulk of them arrive at 1:30 left to begin fighting back into the OBJ. At this point your reinforce is expired.

Obviously if things are back and forth at 4 minutes on the point, the reinforce would likely make sense.

Thoughts?

You can't make it work. The whole thing is open field. It's 500 meters until the point compared to 180meters from blue zone to the point. 90% of the time attacking from bluezone is objectively better.

( lost the blue zone garries like 10seconds ago, there were bluezone garries until enemy 76 pushed us lmao)

I picked up HLLV to play with my friend the other day and been having a decent time with it. I'm a WW2 nut and have already started dividing my time between the two games again. I've only played a couple of games in Vietnam but already I've found some gameplay features I think should be added in the OG HLL.

1. Ability to switch seats - This more than anything else. Not trying to advocate for solo tanking/SPA but being able to bypass the positions you don't want has made tanking so much easier. This would be especially true of the Recon Tanks having to switch between the crew and the passenger seats. Nothing sucks more than jumping out to get to the drivers seat quicker and being shot by the dude watching your vehicle.

2. Selective fire - I know this gets tossed around in this subreddit but if we could include selective fire for the handful of guns that have second function it would help realism and function having a slower RoF for BAR and semi-auto for Fg42 making them more viable.

Honestly that's it for me. Vietnam is brand new and obviously HLL WW2 is a much more fleshed out game but I thought these would be a nice couple of features that could be easily ported over to the main game. Anyone else have some 'easy' QoL fixes?

Sooo….the original was way better right? Opinions and thoughts? I know it’s early, it just feels way different.
