I like to place a satchel on enemy nodes, works very well when they are close together. Much quicker. Also satchels remove barbed wire, bunkers, barricades, hedgehogs and Belgian gates. I like to put them on buildings where enemies are camping the steps. Walk up, place it on an exterior wall, and stand back. Satchels are tons of fun... too bad we can't put them on vehicles and do Jihad-Jeeps.
One of the most annoying aspects is rendering distance, if I am in cover I should not be visible. It makes corn fields and bushes useless vs. long range weapons. When I first played I was wondering how snipers saw me crawling through a corn field.
Then enjoy 50 to 70% of your player base gone that shit is horrible on your computer. With max rendering you can see tanks up to 1000km away and people at 600km that's plenty of far brother and yes you can still see cover, upgrade your pc
Great guide. Veteran player from the start of the kickstarter. Many new players need to watch this and learn to play the game as intended and this would do the trick. Kudos!
Had no clue about that engineer tip. A satchel charge will still be more useful for clearing fortifications. Being able to lock vehicles is definitely useful. Just have to hope not enough blueberries figure it out so we can keep the half tracks in their proper places. A better solution would be to only allow officers and commander to drive half tracks.
Another one you may not know, inside vehicles your out of map timer is 30 seconds vs 10 seconds. This allows fast vehicles like recon tanks to travel behind enemy lines in some scenarios where you are fighting at the edge of a map. I did this once as a squad leader, got picked up, dropped me off far behind the enemy defensive point and set up a back door garrison.
there is some glitch with red garrisons blocked. One case: the garrison was blocked in a almost flat position, and there was no enemy around it, yet it was blocked. This happens so often on german garrison, which i think has a glitch or bug around it.
For measuring distance between garrys i just open the map and do a regular ping and it will show you the distance anyway, faster than putting down any other type of ping :)
Another thing to add about enemy mines: If you find an enemy AP mines you can shoot them to detonate them. You can cleverly kill enemies this way. AT mine you won't be able to detonate by bullets. You can detonate enemy AT mines with grenades though!
I have 1048hrs in HLL as of writing this comment and I never knew you could lock halftracks. This will be a game changer against noobs that don't f***ing listen when you tell them to leave it the hell alone.
0:34 careful going on main road on some maps if the artillery has played the game before they might prefire there and kill everyone, happened to me multiple times even though I call it out.
@@levelzeeThey really want them half tracks drove straight to the frontline and blown up. A fix would be remove mg on half track and put it on a transport truck
Came back to say that I got a supply truck stuck on an artillery gun sitting is sort of a trench in hq. Front wheel went over the "leg" of the arty and the truck got hooked. I somehow got it unstuck after 10min.
I don't see a lot of people using the commendations. I tend to give mine to the new players or a low level player trying squad leader. I know, they tend to screw things up, but a little encouragement can go a long way.
@@OscarLopez-sx8ij hm. Not sure what advantage that would have in the game. reloading SMG’s doesn’t take long at all in the game. and typically you’re reloading after several bursts once you get a feel for the weapon. Like the Thompson versus say the MP-40 the Thompson with the stick has much less ammo than the MP-40 so you’re usually reloading before you run out and can kinda get a feel for when you’re nearly out. I could see if this game was 100% milsim and reloading times were realistic to life
@@chadgrov I know when I first started there were closed bolt rifles I’d think I’d have ONE more bullet in and NOTHING. The open bolt rifles made it to where it was obvious I was out of ammo because it locked open. Now I know after 5 bullets I’m OUT but like you said you have to know your weapon
I tested the locking half track one and it does not work unfortunately, it only unlocks it for yourself. Also just a suggestion... you should do a video debunking hll myths and I'll give ya one. There's a common myth that people say if a commander build a garrison then it takes longer to dismantle however, the reason actually is because the garrison is in a locked zone nothing to do with commander building it or not.
I'm pretty new to the game and got a question. How can some players run with their weapon in one hand that hangs down by their side while my weapon is across my chest . It seems the one handed guys run faster too 🤔
Brother that's a thing that I wish they will add with every big update, just imagine a conversation with the enemies while you're holding down a house, sick
I hear you you guys but I disagree. As a squad leader chat is already a bit overwhelming at times, got the chain of command your squad and blueberries all talking at the same time😅 Plus technically the enemy speak in German so it's not realistic and it would promote toxicity between the players when trash talking There are plenty of games where you can hear the enemy in proximity chat.
@@worldatwarforever I would much rather be able to mute command at time. Some squad leaders don't shut up. Talking to command should be harder because in the field you'd have to radio in rather than just being able to speak to your guys.
Speaking of rendering, does anyone else have this issue?: When you're looking at an enemy >100m away they almost look like a ghost. They look transparent and like a film grain of their body's silhouette is all you can see. anyone else?
@@warfragsjust depends the angle of the strike and where your located in a building. These aren’t bullets coming straight down, they’re fired at a really shallow angle towards the ground, so if your window lines up with the plane, you can be hit even standing meters from the window
Wish some of this has the console equivalents. Like what to press to see if a mine is enemy or friendly etc. good list tho! Anyone know what button is E Brake on console?! PS5 specifically?
Idk if this is true, as I am a newer player, and I was told by a random player who happened to notice it, but; Bodies only disappear once that specific player has redeployed. This could be useful info; as if you come across an enemy players dead body, you know for a fact, that they aren’t “in play.” Also, if you noticed a dead player who stays on the ground for an exceedingly long period of time, odds are they have a medic nearby and are waiting for them, so keep on the lookout, or even, they are potentially the commander using their death as a free window to use command abilities. You could choose to blow them up in either scenario etc.
The #1 tip no one has heard of in this game is that you can communicate with other players. In the last ~10 games I played before uninstalling, there was almost no communication at all. Felt like I was playing Battlefield all over again. Just ruins pretty much every game. People who play HLL, please go play Squad 44.
Played +100hrs, had never heard engineer can dismantle enemy stuff or that you can lock vehicles. Incredibly useful tips, thank you.
I'm glad I could help, thank you for watching !
You can also dismantle your own team's nodes to put your own up, so you get the points instead of someone else.
@@brianpack369booooooo bad tip 😂

Yes it's very annoying but sadly we can't do much about it....
@@warfrags They could match the player render range to the foliage render range.
@@Lonewolf_02420 so since I’m playing on Xbox one do I have the same?

@@Lonewolf_02420 I'm confused... are you implying your PS5 is better than PC?
the locking one is clutch definitely gonna use that when i put a halftrack somewhere as commander
I love that one!

You can try to dismantle defenses manually then place a cheeky satchel on the point!
They are adding the officer/commander driving only for the half track
Maximum distance render issues. That explains why I'm getting sniped in a bush - not a good feature... unless you're a sniper!
Yep, not a good feature but I wanted people to know about it!
@@warfragsDo you know if it's same on console? ambushing from bushes is my favorite pastime.
@@skapunkno1 I am really not sure how it works on console
1:20 you can use the white grid blocks on the map to judge the distance for the 200m between garrisons
Yes, you can also do that !
Did not know engineers could dismantle enemy fortifications :o
Yep, that's a thing !

I did this once as a squad leader, got picked up, dropped me off far behind the enemy defensive point and set up a back door garrison.
That's very cool, I did not know that one !
Yeah use the 30 second thing to drive off the edge around obstacles. The enemy don't expect it.
0:52 pretty sure the whole universe knew this
You would be surprised
there is some glitch with red garrisons blocked. One case: the garrison was blocked in a almost flat position, and there was no enemy around it, yet it was blocked. This happens so often on german garrison, which i think has a glitch or bug around it.

if you have toggle lean on, if you lean right or left then prone when you get up you will still be leaning
my favourite feature was solo tankers, especially in heavies
Excellent video. Very helpful.
Thank you, I'm glad !

tip 14. best tip hands down!!!!
My favorite feature is being able to "lock" vehicles, I was amazed when I tested it in games, what's your favorite ?
That tip alone makes the video worth it.
Can you explain the Xbox control for locking
@@levelzeeit don’t work anymore they patched it weeks ago
@@levelzeeI used to do it all the time ps5 but don’t work anymore

When you're about to lose the game you can switch teams right before to gain the 50% bonus.
Damn, never thought of that lol
How do you switch teams
Press esc, redeploy, then leave squad, then switch teams !
I don’t like that the Thompson fires from the closed bolt. Should be an open bolt SMG
What’s the difference there? Not a gun expert
@@chadgrovi think it makes a difference when you run out of ammo. Open bolt is easier to tell when you are out because it locks

@@OscarLopez-sx8ij Oh gotcha. Yeah rifles are different kettle of fish for sure, but on rifles an open bolt system is definitely helpful.
That ditch escape tip is amazing! :D Does this also work for tanks? xD
I don't think it works for tanks man :(
I honestly have too many hours in that game but the enemy garry lock is going to be so helpful as officer in the future
These are really good. Keep making for all levels!

Hll is awesome
Yes it is !
In real life there wasn’t an indication of land mines from friendlys
That's true
I knew how to get tanks unstuck but I didn't know trucks had a handbrake *because the ui in this game is bad.*
How do you use the parking break on PlayStation?
I am not sure man I only play on PC, sorry !
Heres one, you missed that 90% of players dont know about, the flippin voice chat!!!
Did you even watch the video bro? He talked about microphones..
@@TKaarel so good :DDD

Hmm, maybe there's something wrong with your settings, are you using community taa ?
What is space bar for ps5?
What if you don’t have a spacebar?
Are you playing on console ?
Pro Tip.
Strafing Runs can kill people indoors
Are you sure about that ?
Yes. I was in the window of an attic with an MG and was taken out with a strafing run
@@warfrags play commander and drop a strafing run on your head while indoors
I’ve died to strafing runs while in houses too 😢

@@warfrags ah I got it! 😃 no worries man. It’s right on D Pad. I dont blame you this game is really PC centric.
They look different
@@chadgrovthank you!! I’m like shit what does the space bar even do on a vehicle in PC 😂
reacon huh lol
How do you lock a vehicle on console? Also, is it right on the d pad to see enemy mines?
You can't see enemy mines, just your own mines, (and for that you hold d pad) and I think handbrake on console is the B button, but I might be wrong !
I’ve commented lots but I think it’s patched now ps5 it don’t work for me anymore
I can’t stand or understand why they turn comm’s off in the game at times 🤔
I swear, talking to people in game is the main reason why I enjoy this game so much !
i tried talking but everyone ignored me

Don't, every game has similar issues, so just focus and enjoy the fun aspects of the game, like interactions !
You are so bitter that your departure from the HLL community would benefit it greatly
Is there a console version of this video? 😅😅😂😂
Sorry, but no :))
The game would be better if there weren't 20 anti-tank personnel. Honestly, it's bad. They need to change that feature.
You are a tanker I guess ?
Yes, General.@@warfrags
I will say it is a bit asinine. You have a BUNCH of engineers AND AT. Would make tank battles and troops needing to support tanks more important.
Also, is e-brake the e key on a computer?@@warfrags
