Hell Let Loose - The Ultimate Artillery Guide

[@failmarine2.0]

a wise blueberry on an arty piece once said: "Can you guys stop running into my shells?"

[@Wessex85]

LOL

We all knew he was... 'special'

[@ItzMooseBB]

Can confirm multiple say the best line ever

[@Biggus-dickus0]

Y’all ever get a guy that solo runs into where your shells art killing enemies and then flip out when they get hit

[@KyrinSolaq]

@@Biggus-dickus0yes they will try and vote kick you or just keep team killing you

[@samdamor9269]

Some more useful info on arty: 1- Wind direction always goes East regardless of the map. Could be very useful for smoke screens. 2- Smoke can be use to blind enemy tanks harassing a position as well. It forces movement upon the enemy thus breaking the engagement and making it a target. 3- Keep track of the supplies so you don't cripple your team. It becomes very hard to balance both arty and supplies when multiple guns are firing. Be familiar with reducing your rate of fire, it doesn't have to be 0 or 100 and it saves on supplies. 4- The angle of fall (angle at which the projectile arrives at impact) is 90°. Therefore fire mission in urban areas can still be effective regardless how tight it is. 5- If you're the only soldier on arty during a game, I recommend laying the other guns on different objectives. It will allow you to quickly react to an enemy attack or support a friendly offensive.

[@Moon-And-Star3E427]

The best part is when you warn everybody and they don't care, run into your arty and start screaming at you and insulting you in the chat 😅

That's a real joy!

I type it out if it’s close lol

[@glfagle-grindle7754]

I have had that happen multiple times where I've said in type and VoIP and they still ran into it when I've used markers to show where I'm shooting at

[@rc5924]

If you're tking on artillery you're a dumbass

[@503airborne]

I always post that I will provide continuous suppression on objective "name" until told cease loading, to the entire unit followed by letting my squad leader know to tell the same to the cdr in the btry cmd net. Normally, I'll shift on the far enemy side of the objective once told to cease. The funny thing is the objective symbols are all "no fire area" symbols which threw me off the first time. It's definitely the graphic used to communicate where not to fire.

[@californiacoyotehunting1172]

Artillary smoke is soooo underrated! You can walk an entire team from an Airhead or Garrison into a strong point if played right.

[@Neverian]

Finally, after 230 hours, I know how to use the Arty.

[@SoulSniperYT]

It's hammer time

[@hugsteelrain]

I learned when i was level 13 im level 50 now

[@MarineButt]

There's an artillery calculator app that gives instant angle after you punch in the range. It makes you an absolute nail driver with artillery. Some teams call this "cheating" but it's no different than just being good with ranging. Also you can start switching back to the firing position of artillery before you finish fully loading the round. If you time it right you can fire the literal second you're done loading. It's extremely effective.

[@josuefuentes8433]

Prior marine arty here, this game is ridiculously accurate with how cannons operate, I was surprised to see that they use a reference point to aim the guns as well as limits on the left and right side for traversing, the general rule in real life is to make the marker an object that stands out in the battlefield, at about 1500 m away, if you really want to get into finer details you can create fire missions to avoid killing other players, as well as covering a specific sector in the map to avoid moving the gun beyond the left and right traversing limits

[@503airborne]

Did you also freak out that the objectives are covered by no fire area symbols the first time?

[@503airborne]

Also. You can shift trails once in the loader spot, so if your tgt is out of traverse in your sight, you can move the whole gun to it, if needed.

[@crimpsoncomment]

People in this game sadly don’t understand that if all squad leaders or one or two dedicated squads would just call for fire with the arty the whole game. They’d become the MvPs of the battlefield. It’s so simple to do as well. Too bad. Also Semper Fi -Another marine.

[@AliHasSpoken]

It took me a bit to figure this out but the loader can traverse the weapon significantly. I don’t think there’s any objective that can’t be laid on with the loader traversal.

[@I.G_NL]

Getting those 100+ kill arty games is perhaps one of the most satisfying things in this game. Looking at the same animation and the map for an hour and a half but still being lethat is somehow more exciting than infantry gameplay.

[@monkynutzuk]

I got 100 kills in a game and got an achievement 🎉

[@I.G_NL]

@ Nice! Congrats

[@Konghammer1]

I feel that. Got insanely lucky one time and linked up with a 2 man group that were actual tankers in real life. With them teaching me and their skill we went almost an entire match without dying and got over a 100 kills. I was just driving/repairing so not many of those were actually mine but man it felt good being part of such a major force in that match. We even had a couple squads start following us and watching our backs for boom bags which just made me over the moon.

[@misskitsune2610]

awesome guide man! I bought hell let loose last week haven’t been able to put it down since!

[@hassandabo6288]

this guide helped me so much, got the game yesterday and decided to play arty today with my friend, we were playing on driel as the axis, I had about 26 kills from arty before but I shot a single shell, checked my kills and suddenly went from 26 to *43* kills, I was actually shocked I hit a shell like that, ended the match with 54 arty kills, got the Audie Murphy and a whole team achievement! very enjoyable especially when your team marks things for you. Calculator is also very handy!

[@brandondearmond]

I’ve been interested in getting into arty so thank you for this incredible breakdown. My glorious king 👑 🙏🏽

[@MrIsleNFair]

One-month player here. I started my arty career out of anguish (im suck at FPS lmfao), and never thought about munition count. Also sometimes I am the "showstar prick" that repeatedly VC my squad "ping up enemy location please" 😂 now I feel bad. But glad SoulSniper helps with this video! Thanks!

[@MrNeCr01]

Most of the time your ability to remember things is directly related to how much you can simplify the information being memorized without losing significant details. With American and German Arty, I just remember that the 100M increment is most closely represented by 24 on the dial, and that if your reference value is less than or greater than, then you need to go the opposite direction to achieve the equivalent adjustment. So if I'm going for a 950M marker and my reference at 900M is 788, then I need to adjust 788-12 and shoot for 776. Remembering 24 is super handy for me because it is divisible by 1,2,3,4,6,8, and 12; and since the shells are effective within a 10M radius anyway, you can easily fat finger a digit or three and still be on target.

[@TayKVEVO]

Knowing what the map looks like on the ground really helps. I know what every trench on Purple Heart Lane and I’m not proud to know that.

[@Ghent_Halcyon]

This was one of the first things I learned on my own. Good to know I’ve basically mastered it. Got my first 300+ kill game in arty too.

[@lucky7th331]

Not only recon squads but full on infantry squads have walked miles to reach my arty squad, safe to say they WILL go after you

[@awisecherio8110]

Switching to support helps by allowing you to see recon planes. Engineer would be blind to this information. (After you build nodes)

[@x3wildcard]

Even if you start as engineer to put down nodes, please don't stay in some other squad. Redeploy, make your own locked unit. You will be significantly more effective and be able to use your own personal OP to combat enemy recon coming for you later in the game.

[@gusfarnell1974]

Yea I don’t think this was emphasized enough. Most randoms aren’t going to be communicating with their SL or the other way around and most people end up just silently playing artillery with no marks, which is where a lot of the artillery hate comes from. Because these guys are just guessing where the enemy is, burning through munitions, and likely getting lots of team kills because when lacking marks people tend to just shell the point, where friendlies need to go.

[@kenjitoshira]

​@@gusfarnell1974 I've playing artillery since say one of me starting this game I got 200+ hours of gaming and I'm always making to communicate with my teammates and officers if I'm playing in my own private squad also alpt of the time theirs always a blue berry who doesn't look at the marks that some arti are marking for their shells to hit but yea other artillery don't usually mark their shells on the map those are mainly the low level dudes that do that some high levels do that as well but yea.

[@IchBinEsNur]

If you understand the artillery and how it works you can decide entire battles, a friend of mine and I had an epic round where we made around 150 kills with 1 artillery during the entire battle, including 20 officers, 5 times the commander, 5 garrisons and were decisive in the attacks.

[@yevheniibodnar9008]

About counter arty - real anti arty dudes use Light tank/ Recon armored car. Faster to get to, faster to kill (splash shot instead of shooting with bullets, especialy with built barricades), faster to get the F out, easier to survive (they need to use AT and guess what - solo dude can't do that), and you can take down somehing along the way - Trucks, tanks, barb wired nodes. About smoke shell at start/end of barrage - just tell SLs and ask them to transfer to their squads which one you are doing. The rest in on them 100% since you warned everyone

[@Kalle30116]

[@SoulSniperYT]

Another tip about building nodes is not to group them together, spread each node out imo a grid square apart on your map otherwise if they are found then everyone will be taken out.

I watched this video awhile back, realized that artillery could be absolutely devastating to the enemy of used properly in this game. Fast forward a couple months to when I played my FIRST match of this game, had NO IDEA what to really do/how to play. After fighting and dying a couple times on the frontline, I respawned and saw two guys on artillery, figured I’d load for one of them. Took me a second to figure out how to reload Man was sending rounds down range like rainfall I was trying to check my kills on the scoreboard to see if I was even doing anything When suddenly I got an achievement for 10+ sequential kills O .O

Went solo artillery as an engineer today 103 kills 2 team kills and 2 deaths. I tend to look at the two enemy positions with the watch the blueberry strategy when I see a lot of people bundled up not moving I assume they must be stuck by a couple of squads and fire just ahead of them then when I see them start to push I put a smoke shell in to allow them to push more then I start shelling the cap point until our side get into the point. The time I died I spawned on the garrison stayed until I built some nodes then pushed the cap til I got killed and I never saw the people near artillery again that killed me the first time they must of got bored waiting.
