So frustrating; I have about 200 hours into this game pre update 9, and since that update poo poo starts lagging after about 10min which makes it unplayable...

I like the idea of asymmetrical balance but the Russians really need at least an AT grenade like the RPG-43. A PTRS is just totally inadequate against Panthers & Tigers no matter how close you get (as it should be). You can use satchel charges or mines of course, but then you have to get literally on top of the tank and if it moves at all before you lay the charge you're probably dead and if it moves afterwards then it was all for nothing.

I think the Russians might need a faster respawn or something to make up for the less heavy hitting weapons too. I've heard the Russian anti-tank is useless unless you light up tanks from directly behind but in the open maps it's pretty hard to circle them without getting killed if the other team knows what they're doing.

The lack of proper A/T does seem like an issue for the Russians, the only counter is really having tanks, and if you don't, it can be difficult to counter the medium tank and especially the Tiger. I think the way to use the A/T gun is to track the tank and try and have someone satchel, or have a tank help finish them. As far as weapons, I think they are pretty balanced against the Germans, they get a bunch of automatics and the DP is pretty accurate in my experience and the bolt is exactly like the Kar.I think the thing they lack is a Gewehr equivalent but that only shows up in high ranked classes ( level 6 rifleman, level 6 assault, and maybe level 5 officer?) Also I just really hate the suppression in this game, it's far too powerful and the Russian weapons really highlight how overpowered it can be. Like, even at 100m, they can make you not see anything and you end up a sitting suck with a Kar. Edit: Okay, the SVT seems a lot like the Gewehr and sounds better, so I was wrong there.

I played last night with no issues and I don't have an amazing computer or anything. I'm lucky though that there's usually some full servers showing like 30ping for me so maybe it depends on where you're playing from?

Picked this up last weekend and have played a decent amount this week. I am slowly branching out to other roles, but feel most comfy with rifleman, medic, and AR for now. I would LOVE to get some goon squads together for some actual real cooperation and coordination. I would be willing to cough up a few bucks to help fund a server if we decided we had enough people that wanted to play. Even if it was only 20 or so, that is plenty to help wrangle pubbies to victory. The visceral feel of combat is pretty well done. It is quite satisfying to put down enemy troops, especially when you make their helmets ring. I have had some luck body-shooting guys and camping their corpses a couple of times too. If you want a shooter but are tired of getting murdered by autists in planes and dancing spray and pray encounters, you could definitely do worse. Watch some videos and read up about it- I jumped in cold, and was COMPLETELY clueless about everything. My first 10 deaths or so I never know what hit me. At least know I can figure out (mostly) which direction enemies should be coming from. If you wanna lone wolf it a bit, belly crawling around in the forest with a rifleman can be rewarding if you are patient. I actually had a guy run past me from behind (he literally almost stepped on me) when I was flanking alone. His helmet made a fun sound when I shot him in the back of the head

Performance is definitely better after update 10. Only thing that's made me chug is being high up on a roof top in Stalingrad with lots of poo poo going down

Russian medics have a supply of exactly 20 backpats, I guess afterwards their hands get sore.

This game has no squad support atm and I really want to play with goons, so I got a server.  It's called "HLLJK" at IP 172.107.179.39 If this thing actually gets used, maybe I could make a Patreon or something to help pay for increasing the number of players

If you're also in the mood for wasting money like me, you can donate to the server funds here: https://www.g-portal.com/int/donate/e470c8bdd973e5390b900b0af11904ec/gportal_27912066 I don't think it's possible for me to use this money on anything but the server

I picked this up a while ago in EA but wanted to wait until it was out before really getting in to it. Any recommended guides or youtube channels on playing the classes so I'm less of a liability right out of the gate? Played a ton of RO and RS2: Vietnam sounds I'm at least familiar with the more realistic shooters.

A lot of the infantry stuff isn't that complex. Tanks are less self-explanatory. A single good tank crew can turn the tide of a match https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrlR2g0yFKA

Have to say, I'm not much of a fan of the Kursk map so far. The wide-open nature of it means that the only way to not get murdered instantly is to cling to the occasional buildings scattered around, which in turn will be constantly bombarded by arty and tanks. I figured I'd try to go with MG and get some longer-distance flanking fire from a reverse slope going, but it turns out there's knee-high grass everywhere so that you're completely blind whenever you go prone. Even the trenches are so shittily made that you either couldn't see anything out of them, or just plain couldn't deploy the gun on them.

something for the op, the dev team posted this to steam as a new players guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/HellLetLoose/comments/ou3g0t/hll_new_player_guide/ e: just found out too that medics and sl's drastically debuff suppression for everyone around them which I don't think the game tells you anywhere https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccL9andkr-k ghosthorse fucked around with this message at 22:22 on Aug 2, 2021 |

Bomb-omb Texting posted:Is this squad but in ww2? Same general principles of logistics, bases, squad spawning, that kind of thing but even with the movement and gun play revamps throughout EA I'd say the gameplay itself hews a bit more Red Orchestra than Squad, though it is as lethal.
