I would be very cautious with very wide red zone garrisons in pub matches. You can encourage all the players that should be defending to respawn too far away from the active sector. You gotta herd those cats.

[@monoespacial]

That's actually a really good point I forgot to mention

[@ohne9481]

Agreed. As a squad leader, I tend to place my garrisons where people are incentivized to spawn there whether they are told to spawn there or not.

[@aeoteroa818]

you are assuming anyone in pub servers defends lmao. all the servers i play in are practically unplayable with all the dumbfucks running around in locked sectors and giving 0 fucks about anything other than kills. i can only tolerate maybe two games of it and i just switch to squad. i never thought it would be easier to find team players in squad than hll.

[@guts4511]

@@aeoteroa818 should try joining a regiment in HLL its a whole new ball game

[@danielgomessilva8966]

Probably the most important comment in this video. Ppl start to get the idea of flanking and that's when pll start to loose due to overextend and letting enemy breach

[@lucasco031194]

It's all fun and games until 90% of the team decides to go for the wide flanking. It's not easy being a commander in pub matches, but some games, those 1 out of 5 the stars align and all the right guys decide to do what they must, those are the matches that make it worth it all.

[@PrimeNPC]

The games where you have a competent commander and a majority of squad leaders with mics are always filled with amazing moments. From coordinating a single perfect artillery shell to organising flanks in transport trucks, coordinating smoke screens and then mass group nading a position and then all charging in shouting hurrah down your mic, no other fps comes close

[@ericg8854]

Right i was thinking at the end of the day it's still a domination game. You always have to balance your strategy with how many bodies are on point.

[@eko4749]

​@@PrimeNPCI played as commander and for the final push we needed all hands on deck... 2 minutes to go on attack 1 point left. I went to prox, gave the game plan, called in the artillery had all the boys throw their smokes and we went in tanks first. It looked like a cod story mission. It was the most amazing moment ive ever had in gaming hands down.

[@kaonashiix]

A lot of things to be successful in this game are very basic, but people are so focused on just running forward and getting into the fight. There have been several games where my squad has turned the tide by flanking instead of following the blueberry wave

[@aeoteroa818]

flanks are insanely rewarding in this game and can devastate and enemy position or be that little extra that breaks an enemy line. i live for flanks in hll.

[@bakersmileyface]

I know. It's kind of depressing that such basic things are considered advanced tactics and common sense is considered basic tactics. Even more so when you realise that most people don't know basic tactics. I mean I had a squad member complaining about how he just kept running around for 5 minutes just to die. I had to actually tell him to stop running around and then explain to him why it was getting him killed. You'd thing something as basic as that wouldn't have to be said. Or the people complaining in chat about being spawn killed. Spawn somewhere else ffs. Or better yet, get your squad leader to relocate your OP. I just realised this turned into more of a rant than I intended. Point is; I agree. Only basic things are needed to be successful in this game.

[@TheBanana93]

Pulled a sick flank yesterday on FOY. Western was almost impossible to take and the whole damn team kept coming from the same direction. I flanked around with my squad behind despite the commander telling me to redeploy.. we got around. Double dropped supplies got a garry down BOOM we got the point from behind and won the game... most use I have ever been in a game haha

[@ThelVadam7777]

Ngl tho Those blueberry waves are so much fun lol

[@martyrawdog]

[@shreks_loins3963]

“Advanced tactics” translates to sneaky carries, dummy thicc flanks and wiping out the enemies reserve garries.

@@janys6502 Yeah, I'm on step one. Just bought it last week. I'm not going to be able to enjoy it and learn the game until I get a proper headset though. The PS5 controller mic works, but you can't hear them as well.

[@janys6502]

@@davidwhite206 yea it really enhances the feeling, there are moments where youre moving with your squad in complete silence only to hear a gunshot and begin thinking who couldve shot, but then find yourself dead Yeah it happens and every time it feels like I CALLED IT

[@jorisvanoeffel4721]

Also, remember that as a squad leader it its alright to hang back a bit. If you die, and the outpost is gone, your squad can’t spawn anymore. Let someone else take point. If you are thinking: ‘but then my guys don’t know where we are going’, place markers. This is something you should always do. That way you can coordinate better, both with a squad and the other officers.

[@jerekalevijarvinen1389]

This is why everyone has to play a US SL on Hanoi in Rising Storm 2 before partaking in big boy games.

[@TheBanana93]

The amount of SL's that do not put move markers down annoys me... or even talk. I end up having to lead a squad instead which is hardwork! But if you want something doing do it yourself haha

[@davidthomas8265]

[@monoespacial]

@@Muskelbiber007 yeah, it happens... I've had streams where my team is just a complete mess and it's doubly frustrating because I want to viewers to have fun but that's nearly impossible if all I want to do is press hit ALT+F4. I usually go play something else for some time when that happens. Switching to another server sometimes helps.

[@Muskelbiber007]

@@monoespacial Yeah, switching servers during main hours just takes so long and you go like "This time, will be different" :). Thing is, the squad was really nice and fun to play with. So we sticked together and tried our best. With recording i can understand that, yet don't forget, most people watching you on Twitch don't need you to be Mr. Killalot. Just do your thing, let the viewer follow your thoughtprocess which is 100% more worth, then having K/Ds of 2.xx.

[@TwinCityShredder]

This is all great info. The garrisons being on the corners of the cap zones is and excellent strategy.

[@DingbatToast]

finding more than one squad member who will speak and follow orders is the hardest part of the game. Rank 20 on PS5 after starting playing this week and only met 4 people who would speak and work together. when you get that, it's pretty awesome

[@A_Dirrty_Bird]

It's very early still, gonna take some time. I've only played 4 hours one night and have at least found my way here down a KZbin rabbit hole trying to figure out what the fuck I'm doing lol

[@caze0018]

​@A_Dirrty_Bird true this game has a learning curve. I had to learn arty, and the other roles. Started playing command after I had a grasp on the game. Only lvl 45 currently

[@h.hielsberg7010]

New player here. Love the tactics as they are similar to actual military tactics. I noticed very quickly that it’s difficult to keep team integrity unless you have like minded players. The majority of what I see so far is every man for himself in most cases and very little communication. That is, unless you’re lucky enough to join a battle with teams that understand the strategy involved. Dare I say it - just like the actual military. Love HLL though. Great way to teach younger generations about WWII.

[@omygandhi157]

Great video. Enjoy the straight forward approach on the “Why” you should do your strategy. Thank you

[@jerekalevijarvinen1389]

Mono is a everyday name in the Hell Let Loose community. People be refering to your guides to create noobs that are almost deadly!

[@swhan]

This is where recon comes into its own. They can drop their OP anywhere behind the enemy lines and they're small enough to do a wide flank and drop the garrison in the appropriate place(s) without detracting too much from the fight at large. A switched on Commander (to drop supplies in the right spot at the right time) and a good recon spotter can win the game. I would argue that large wide flank is better performed by the recon squad, and they can also be looking out for enemy nodes along the way

[@boffafett5289]

But recon can't drop garrisons can they? Only outposts?

[@swhan]

@@boffafett5289 You need to play more Spotter, my man. Recon can absolutely drop garrisons.

[@tacticalcamel149]

Thanks for the tips ur doing a great job of teaching this amazing tactics

[@peacewarlord]

Just started playing the game. Thanks for this, especially Flanking. Also kudos for using Uncharted World soundtrack aka Galaxy Map theme from Mass Effect :)

[@PrimeNPC]

Best thing to do if you are up for playing SL (in my opinion the best way to play other than mg or medic) is ensure your entire squad has mics at the start of the game, then you can all spawn together and coordinate throughout the entire game. I like sticking to the flanks, both defence and attack depending on the situation but the best part about having a full squad communicating and working together is thst regardless of how the match goes, even if you get blitzed and lose badly, you'll still have a bunch of fun with the squad

[@ChristopherZoog]

I am guilty of just being "Ooooh I get to snipe" and not doing that.. I am ashamed but now I know!

[@MadAtMax.300Blackout]

The OP cooldown resets when dismantling it. Wow. Thank you. Learn something new everyday.

[@SpartanRush5th]

15:33 This is what I am referring to when I ask players to give me a wide flank; when I am playing recon I call this the big sneak. Send a squad in deep to get around the enemy from a direction they are not expecting to encounter us. Going in deep and avoiding confrontations at all costs until you get your garrison up for the flank. Trying that flank within 1 grid of meaningful grid space will just result in their defensive line moving down and inevitably dragging people into a fight outside of meaningful space. You can use the opposite of this to help defend as well, send a team to build a deep garrison for your proximity alarm down there.

Can you only capture points in offensive when you are in the strongpoint? (Black circle) I was under the impression you could capture when you were in the surrounding squares at 1x the capture strength as compared to 3x when in the strongpoint.

I recently started playing this game properly a few weeks ago now, I've had the game ages but never invested any time into it, now I am loving it. The only thing I dislike is I seem to get texture pop in/out when I aim down sights... I never had this before but I think I've changed a setting and now I get it all the time, anyone know how I can get rid of it? I'll aim down sights and a bush or foilage will appear/disappear. It's making it harder to spot enemies or something will pop in/out and for a split second I'll think it's an enemy moving, when it's not.

[@formaldefeat14]

In my experience Foliage has to be set to epic to reduce the incidence of this. Also try running borderless.

[@gat1gigs782]

DIGGIN THE MASS EFFECT MAP MENU SONG!

[@MY-pe5cv]

Flanking does not have to be that wide of an L shape. You do not have to span the entire map for a flank. If there are enemies in the trench 100m in front of you, taking a squad along a hedge row perpendicular to the trench and hitting it from the side is a flanking maneuver. An excellent example of this is the Brécourt Manor Assault from episode two of Band of Brothers where Winters leads two squads and flanks the German artillery guns. That is a textbook use of flanking and is still used as an example at West Point (United States Military Academy). To be effective at flanking in this game you need to ensure a minimum of your Machine gunner, but preferably a second squad is engaging the position you want to flank. Then you move around and up until you are perpendicular to them. You initiate a crossfire and assault through the objective. Key points to remember, 1. Suppress the enemy position, 2. relocate the flanking squad perpendicular to the enemy position (Speed and Stealth are imperative for this to be most effective, maintain the element of surprise if possible), 3. Throw grenades then Fire on the position and advance through it (Push your squad forward while having the suppressing squad walk its fire in front of you so they don't shoot your squad) 4. If done correctly your squad will have killed/disabled the enemy position. BE AWARE: the element of surprise and speed really are imperative. If your squad fires on the enemy before in position or your squad takes too long, the enemy will spawn reinforcements from a nearby outpost or garrison. Strike Hard, Strike Fast.

[@EddBSmith]

@@monoespacial I hope my original comment didn't come off that your videos aren't valuable, they definitely are and they're what helped me learn the game much faster! What I mean is, at least in my experience, there are still a ton of players who aren't even new to the game that still run around not taking care of the basics, let alone the advanced stuff. For example, not building garrisons as a squad leader when supplies are right next to them, not communicating, not listening etc. I've seen people level 60+ doing this. I can only imagine these people aren't simply bothering to take the time to properly learn the ropes through guides such as yours.

[@monoespacial]

@Edward Smith Oh, no, I know what you mean. Yeah, there's always going to be a percentage of players that just don't put any effort into learning.

There's stuff you simply won't learn by playing because they information you need just isn't in the game!

[@Konslufius]

Spawn the loosing side. Die a few times. Get an actual good idea how to win back the middle. Sneak arround for 10 minutes to get the perfect position. You idea becomes reality. You get a chance to win back the point. Everything that sits in between is the group of player that did not notice you yet. Your Granate buggs out. You die. Game over.
