Hell Let Loose Dev Tracker

Thank you! Given that I unfortunetly don't live in Poland and don't have access to Polish books on the subject (I just bought a book on the subject of this specific battle itself but it'll be delivered to me next month), I had to base the map on a current satellite view of the battle site, an early 20th century map of the overall region which showed building clusters, roads, rivers, and various information and simplified battle maps and textual secondary sources from the internet. To make the map I traced the elements (barbed wire, buildings, roads, trees, etc) from a few Hell Let Loose maps in a program called "Rhino 7." I then traced over the historic maps of the battle site in "Rhino 7" and then modified line weights and colors in "Adobe Illustrator." Finally I made a few small tweaks in "Adobe Photoshop."

Will do Danny thanks but can you guys address as mentioned that tanks now are far slower moving than their real life counterparts? Surely the devs have watched the same videos we have of Sherman's and other ww2 tanks storming around and turning on a dime yet in the last update they have become horrible.

Crazy how bad the armor is on this game.

Get stuck on the smallest things
Tank speeds are way off real life, look on youtube for real life Shermans moving around and turning twice as fast as they do in the game.

The explosions you're referring to are in fact mostly(?) 2D effects, extracted from a particle sim or real footage would be my guess. That's why they have that realistic look to it. The downside can be that they might not look as convincing once up close.

There aren't many games that seem to use this method but PS and Squad definitely use the same method with their explosions and overall VFX. I'm a huge fan of this as I think it adds a whole other dimension to the authenticity. I would love to hear more about this in-depth, maybe u/DannyArt_HLL could shed some light into this sometime?

In HLL's case they recently added (U10) a sudden flash to the larger explosions, which I think adds depth and improves the effect. However, I think there could be elements added to explosions to improve and sell the effect even further. For the bombing runs I guess it's a matter of performance but I think more variety to different explosion types in gener...

Yeah, devs addressed it in the U10 patch notes that it's a bug and will be fixed in new update/patch (whatever it's called, not U11).

Not so much a blocked bullet, but the area in and around “la grand crique” on Utah Beach is brutal for engineer structures. Lots of seemingly wide open ground (covered in mud?) where objects can’t be placed at all.

Just an FYI if you read this!

Because British people won't get offended for being called tea drinkers, they just pour another cup...

Cant wait to see bycicles added.

Can't have a Dutch map without bycicles!

Can confirm, we had a friend time out when he was driving for us... We ended up front flipping our Stuart over a hedge and in front of a panther.
