Hell Let Loose - British Forces Update!! [NEWS]

[@KH010]

Moving up the date seems like a bold move considering the last update was so buggy. Here's to optimism!

[@AirySeek]

Probably just means the bug fixes will also come sooner? 😂

[@John-ww7gl]

Ya that's why they are pushing it up to fix the other bugs sooner

[@KH010]

@@AirySeek The last update was meant to fix items and it made the game functionality worst. While I'm optimistic this update will truly resolve these issues, moving up the date seems like a bold move considering they could've used that time for further quality assurance. While I'm sure you'll reply that must've been done already, we assumed that with the last update and it was crap.

[@rasgotiriebud]

"That's a bold strategy Cotton. Lets see how that pays off for him."

[@FreeBurd0620]

There was a rumor and some model leaks around a British flamethrower, M1928 Thompson, and Boys Rifle in addition to the Churchill. It may be those items were temporarily cut for later release to push the update sooner Edit: What makes me think the leaker was accurate is because they got the Lanchester and P14 right, which were two weapons I was not expecting to see.

Bridge maps... Devs. If you want to do big rivers give Engineers a build option for a floating bridge (e.g. like the small paddle boats tied side by side on Purple Heart lane) or give the commander an option to deploy an Engineering vehicle, or an airdrop to build a rapid deploy bridge that can support tanks.

[@gingerbread101]

[@ThePerks2010]

The little dark nooks on that desert map look great for ambushes/mg nests

[@TheStugbit]

A Cromwell tank in El Alamein will look kind of weird to me. I think they might have had a couple of Shermans there, Churchills too, but a Cromwell in 1942?? I think instead of going for a Remagen Bridge there, they should have made a Italian Campaign map instead. Perhaps Salerno or some battle in Sicily. Salerno was a top-notch ww2 battle we barely see in video games. Tunisia and Operation Torch also wouldn't be bad, though. But we already have plenty of maps covering 1944 Western Europe, to get another one.. They could have added the Churchill as a heavy tank and Crusader as the light for covering maps in the desert and Italy instead of doing that. Now we're going to get Cromwell and Tetrarch tanks in El Alamein.

[@morski_ludak2239]

Develop it yourself and send them the project

[@TheStugbit]

@morski_ludak2239 you mean written them a baseline? Seems like a good idea. I wrote them some feedback before and posted on their forums in the Steam platform, but I'm not sure if any devs look into posts there. I think I'll have to look for the game web page forum or something like that.

[@TheStugbit]

@@morski_ludak2239 I see. But I would still prefer written them the stuff and post on the forums so other people could see and give support too perhaps. The issue with the Cromwell I'm sure other people may already be asking them to change. But not sure if everybody would be aware of Salerno. Having a Salerno map would be so nice. It would have a very different gameplay from the maps we already play.

[@dinosaure_jr4595]

@@TheStugbit “The issue with the Cromwell” They will just add the standard Fractions 1944 style to those maps. As they did it with Stalingrad. This means Panthers vs Firefly’s. Stg44s winter camos Panzerschrecks. It’s not just this one tank. They shouldn’t have made this map in the first place if they don’t want to it to feel like battlefield. That’s why Italy might have fighter more well. With 1944 battles on it.

[@TheStugbit]

@dinosaure_jr4595 indeed. A Cromwell in late 1943 Italy looks better than a Cromwell in 1942 Africa. The Panther alongside Tiger II and the early 38(t) were the three German tanks that didn't have seen Africa. Of those, the Panther feels the most weird, though. Especially in a more clean desert like El Alamein.. if it were Tunisia, it could still pass a little. They had some Tigers there and all. But Panthers in El Alamein fighting Sherman Fireflys? Also, STG 44s and Panzerschrecks part away a little bit from the idea of DAK I used to have. It will look weird. HLL was supposed to have more realism than other games. I mean, some minor mistakes and inaccuracies, no problem at all. But this will definitely make it look arcade..

[@dinosaure_jr4595]

@@leekent3587 They will need to bring a system like subfactions like Post scriptum has. Being more balanced historical. Locking certain skins and having unique own ones and different weapons, tanks. But also stuff like commander abilities. Having a German bomber dropping its bombs above the Battle of the Bulge might not be a thing happened too often but Nebelwerfer Rocket artillery was the more common thing for example. That’s how you can create more different dealing matches as well. A battle I’m Poland relying on Boldactions and Bayonets. Only the squad lead having an mp. And on the other hand still playing Germans but having high echelon German late units equipped with a lot of Stg44s and panzerschrecks.
