I'm quite new to the game (52 hours played), yesterday I plucked up the courage to be squad leader for the first time, and we won :) I didn't do anything special, just placed down outposts regularly, communicated with my squad, placed down enemy infantry markers, I did mark up a nice bombing run that cleared about 15players out of a trenchline that was relentlessly holding us back. Our squad initiated an insane re-capture of Rudno, we contested it for a good 15minutes just by ourselves, then we managed to take out an enemy garrison, then 2 other squads started to push in and we capped it, it felt so satisfying, especially when the other squad leaders & the commander said "Excellent work Charlie squad" in chat, it gave me goosebumps lol. I am loving the game at the moment, the only thing I dislike about it is the texture pop in/rendering, annoying bushes/trees etc in the distance either appear or disappear when I aim down sights.
@@complexunity4533 The contours still aren't super accurate though, especially for where buildings are. What they should do is have the regular map at 1x and 2x zoom, but after that add the topo details for small bumps and hill lines
Great video, the smallest terrain height makes such a big difference, it can even protect your tank! Also I'd just like to add that while hiding in a bush may seem obvious, in my experience a lot of players just don't notice while they are charging in and distracted by all the action around them. I've taken out so many people while just standing in a bush.
90% of these tactics can work without a doubt. I play on Xbox Series X and absolutely love this game to death. I quite often use the terrain for cover instead of using other ways of cover
Can we talk about how to properly throw smoke. Like smoke the enemy instead of the "path". You can cover more of their view and open up your own. Please spread the PSA
yeah never count on grass if ppl are far away they dont appear at all, on kursk you can kill ppl from top of the wind mill from far far away (at some point it just flat terrain so only count on topography of the map for the most)
As players, what's the best camouflage gears and helmets you guys find best to blend in the environment for each faction. I find the Soviet trench coat and ameba brown is probly the best one of all faction
how not to be seen......stop running without a place to go.....stop shooting when youre not suppressing and not getting a kill....slow the fuck down and check your corners and angles.... and lastly, these i think are the two kost important things....use your equipment, smoke grenades, regular grenades, build garrison etc and communication, call out everything you see even if you arent sure.....better to be careful and overly aware then to run around all willy nilly without care.... learned this and i have been on the gsme barely a week...get abour 8-10 kills a game and usually only die once or twice patience is a virtue
My grandpa fought in Hürtgenwald/forest and before that in Russia. Don't know where, he rarely talked about ww2. (only when he was drunk). Almost 80 years later I play a game about his baddest experience. When you think about it and be honest.... This is sick. When I was a kid, he didn't want me to play with my toysoldiers. "Krieg ist kein Spiel" he told me once.
@Clarissa 1986 i get what you guys are saying but at the end of the day this is a game. the war didn't happen so that the game could be made. it's just a game.
Not to disrespect him, he sounds like a wise man, but war is a game, it's just one big chessboard, but only to those who wage it, not those who fight it.
Those tips are right on point. I'm slowly figuring this game out (really slowly!) and these vids are helping. I'm super tired of seeing vids of guys clapping dozens of enemies and running around like it's COD or something. Those are not going to help at all.
Nice vid Bud. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. I believe we are all guilty of this at times in HLL. :D
The key issue with concealment in the new maps is that render distance limitations can leave you completely revealed despite being hidden behind solid objects. The legacy maps have objects that are not removed at long render distances which effectively break LOS. If you're on the hill at the windmills looking toward German spawn, you will see infantry behind solid cover, completely unable to damage them directly (HE splash can be effective if the player is aware of the clipping zones of the objects nearby) but they will be fully visible as none of the objects will render. The same is possible from the Russian side of Stalingrad; when in the rubble east of the railyard, nearly all objects are see-through on the German side of the map.
Also regarding Kursk, alot of people seem to miss the fact that you can swiss cheese the shit out of the windmills. Just hammer them with MG fire and you'll clear them out in no time ;)
I'm fairly new to the game with about 100 hours and I'm so happy to be learning this info early on instead of later. The amount of times I've won a small battle on maps due to the difference in terrain height is insane. Always remember, having height is the advantage!
I think one of the things that makes this less obvious is the map. Usually there are markers of height on maps, but not in this game. I think if there were, people would do this much more often.
The only grounds for why I wouldn’t go all the distance to the left like in the trench example is that I spend a lot of time running and then just get shot anyway. There is always someone waiting for you no matter where you are
I would like to argue you mean concealment not cover. Concealment keeps you from being seen but you can still be hit. Cover will block sight and a stray bullet
how is your grass rendering so big ? i was on hurst forest or how it is called ( new player, 40 hours or so ingame ) and found out that grass is rendering so little distance and now i cannot un see it ...is it with the engine itself or what ? would love to hide in grass but yeah...
Yes, I know! I actually used that in the video, but I feel like it speeds up faster than it slows down? Like, mouse wheel yo and your darting through the air. Mouse wheel down 5 times? I'm sorry, warp is still engaged.
Really new to the game bought it on sale last sat. I actually love this map because of those differences. My job being a surveyor really helps me out here and since everyone usually rushes and throws smokes I go unseen by most. Which translates to pretty decent kills; I’m saying that and I’m a noob lol. With what he just explained I had my highest kill game at 47 and was a major help to the team.
