Really appreciate the heads up as I’m sure many folk would be wondering. Never had any doubts!

You mentioned the maps in question but I just had a game on Hurtgen Forest with the same issues but not as severe. Is this also something that is being added to the patch drop?

Look forward to the patch

Wow. An actual developer. To be fair the guy above did have some valid points. And not everybody has a community to play with. The player base can also be quite toxic to beginners and people who dont play like they want you too.

I have 350 hours in PS and 210 in squad and HLL barely holds a candle to both in terms of teamwork, strategy, and realism. Gameplay is very janky and always has a blurry look to it no matter the resolution. Not to mention the textures, vfx and sfx are pretty awful in comparison to post scrote. The gameplay loop also gets very repetive where every engagement turns into a meat grinder with little to no strategy involved aside from the sl finding a good spot to put down an op. If they even do that is. If not youll find yourself running to the meat grinder for 5 min just to get shredded and repeat. Not to mention the various historical inaccuracies (stg 44 in stalingrad, helmets with camo covers that didnt exist) the tanking system is terrible, it basically made the sherman the best tank since they all use a light, medium, heavy tank class system using health bars for the tanks which makes it pretty unenjoyable not to mention no turning out (and devs have no plan to add it) I overall w...

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...
