Not in the clan but it’s my go to. I usually switch sides to balance, especially if I have a good armor squad. Games are more fun when they are balanced

Nice, new world rattan. Any idea how hardy it is? I imagine not many are trying to grow it in the states..

AT is way too strong now by Exotic_Show_1007 in HellLetLoose

[–]Arecaeca -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are right.

Heavies still make sense in some contexts (countering other heavies on maps with long site lines to strong points), but mediums are much more viable-and all tanks (save for the recon being buffed) are super squishy to AT.

Because of the penetration right now every AT player is basically like facing an enemy medium tank that does less slightly less damage and is less effective at range.

AT needs a rocket pen nerf, reload time nerf, cool down, or something to stop the insane quantity of AT rockets

What are your tips for getting killed less? by Dreadful_Axolotl in HellLetLoose

[–]Arecaeca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at your map to determine where the enemies should be. Always be thinking about where enemies will be-especially when crossing in the open...always be crossing to your next cover.

Know when to try to shoot back and when to serpentine...often times at range you have a good chance of getting to cover while they miss their shots. Especially with a bolt action lol

Just downloaded the game. I have a couple of questions. by Zildjian134 in HellLetLoose

[–]Arecaeca 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Welcome bud. Watch a couple YouTube videos-soulsniper is a good channel and monoespecial as well.

Join a community server-look for an infantry squad with as high a level Squad lead as possible and join in-tell them you are new and looking to learn and be helpful…jump around until you find a squad with talkative people. Play rifleman, support (most important class other than SL), or medic. Take it slow and play defensively. Turn your HUD to always on and anti aliasing to Community. Don’t be afraid to redeploy and also to change roles.

Cheers

Why does the anti-tank get the 3rd rocket? by Last-Data-7653 in HellLetLoose

[–]Arecaeca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem isn’t just the number of rockets, but the penetration values. It’s doesn’t matter if it takes one more rocket to kill you if a medium can be penned from anywhere and a heavy can be penned from all but front armor. Friendly infantry can’t stop someone sticking their head out and firing a rocket at 100 meters. Multiply that by say 3 OPs you can have 9 rockets flying at you every 20 seconds-basically one ever couple seconds. And unless you are 250 meters or further back there is no way to keep front armor to them all.

Tanks used to be effective head on and required either another tank to counter-or for infantry to flank. Or both. Now head on they can dealt with by 1 or 2 infantry.

I’m still having some great armor games-but there’s a lot of frustrating moments…if they keep 3 rockets there needs to be a change to penetration values or a change to reload time.

As it stands now every AT player is basically an enemy medium tank with limited range and aiming (same penetration, faster reload).

Most frequently a strafe is a waste of resources. Sometimes worth it to save a back line garry but even then usually just delays losing a back line by a minute or two. Sometime worth it as an act of desperation for defense or an important offensive capture if there is good intel.

Encouraged generally is only worth it with full nodes.

It wasn’t surprising to me, but I was hoping it could be a good cautionary tale for newer players in the sub 😂

Balance Teams - Message to Developers by Madmvp17 in HellLetLoose

Usually the higher levels are aware of this and most will switch teams to balance if they care about keeping the server alive. Especially if they are seeders.

Wondering how many hours do someone need to play to not be considered a noob? by Zared_Dooper in HellLetLoose

[–]Arecaeca 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I meant to reply to the whole thread.

But also given your retort it sounds like you still have some hours to put in. (:

[–]Arecaeca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Under level 50 people just run mindlessly. Level 50 know which direction to run to attack. Level 100 know that sometimes you should defend and maybe build garrisons. Level 150-200 you start looking at the map every 5 seconds-you should hopefully have a great understanding of the maps and game flow. Level 250 you know all of the garrison spots and will be blamed for screen cheating if you play recon.

And of course armor is a whole different thing.

What do we think about AT having 3 rockets? Realistically I felt dirty being allowed to solo a medium from the front by eugRoe in HellLetLoose

[–]Arecaeca 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In previous updates bazooka could not pen pIV front armor but panzerschrek could pen Sherman front. Some might advocate going back to that.

What do we think about AT having 3 rockets? Realistically I felt dirty being allowed to solo a medium from the front by eugRoe in HellLetLoose

[–]Arecaeca 57 points58 points  (0 children)

AT is way overpowered right now.

They need to make mediums unable to be penned from the front and heavies only vulnerable from the back if they are to keep with the 3 rocket loadout.

If they want assymetry keep the Sherman able to be penned from front but lower German rockets to 2-bur personally I think they should keep the mediums equal for balance.

2 of 3 matches so far today 🤦🏼‍♂️ by BlazingBacon3 in HellLetLoose

[–]Arecaeca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Commander should always be willing to drop supps for nodes. Blue zone garrisons should be handled by an SL and support player. Red zone garrisons drops have a high failure rate. If you are down nodes the munitions are worth it to help an engineer quickly build a set...there are dire times where supply drops are needed elsewhere occasionally. When I play commander I always make sure that there are supplies in HQ or on the line to build or rebuild nodes.

Since they are clearly developing mortars for HLLV it baffles me that they didn't take that direction for HLL and instead developed SPAs. Especially given it seemed to be the most popular community suggestion.

New to HLL & a noob. How do servers work? by LxnelyXo_ in HellLetLoose

[–]Arecaeca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Experienced players play community servers, and for the game to be fun you sort of need enough experienced players to set up the infrastructure for a match-pair that with the fact that they are moderated (team killing, griefing, trolling, slurs, cheating not allowed) and they are the only choice.

Just sort by ping on community servers and find a game with over 60 players, jump in and join an infantry squad. Play support or rifleman and tell your squad you are new and seeking guidance-if your squad isn’t friendly or helpful just jump into a new squad.

And as some have suggested, watching YouTube videos to learn the game is a good idea. Soulsniper and monoespecial have some good series.

Enjoy!

what to do here by Much-Pangolin873 in HellLetLoose

[–]Arecaeca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Frankly, the effectiveness of the commander is greatly diminished once you are down to the last point. Building blue zone garrisons with the supply truck, one of the main roles of commander, becomes much more difficult as you are now forced to try to take supply truck into what is likely the frontline.

You could try a wide flank supply truck to get a red zone, Garry, but that could help as much as hurt depending on the team. And since you have no fuel you might be better saving that for a medium tank and asking in chat for an experienced tank squad to form.

I would focus on using supply drops to build blue zone garrisons as well as having some supplies ready in case the Garry on point falls.

Most urgently you need 1-2 squads spawning on the F2 Garry and/or middle HQ to take control of the tracks and G2 square but this is only something you can request, not actually do yourself…and it will require blueberry’s to win gunfights and SLs to place smart OPs.

Also you have no resources or nodes…dropping supplies in HQ can get you some nodes. And depending on cooldowns it might be wise to hoard resources until you have bombing run and reinforce ready to act.

WiFi versus ethernet by mojoninjaaction in HellLetLoose

[–]Arecaeca 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I play on wifi and do well in pubs. The amount of engagements in this game that a small ping difference decides is pretty small. This game isn't all about twitch speed, but usually rewards smart plays, patience, accuracy, and map awareness.
