Hell Let Loose - The AT Gun is Underrated

The AT Gun in Hell Let Loose can double as portable artillery, a quick-deploy tank or an overpowered MG. In this video, I'll show you why you need to be using them more.

Yesterday as a German Engineer on Kursk Map I built: 1 Concrete Bunker 4 Concrete Walls We had AT on each sides of the bunker and Machine guns in the bunker. We were positioned on top of a hill just above Oleg's house and we were defending it from this position. All 4 walls (2 on each sides) were defending incoming flanking attacks from tanks. These walls were placed in order to form a wide v shape and we could also protect our Garrison just behind that Bunker. The AT guns were having a blast and they kept on killing anything coming towards Oleg's House. Nothing could make it even close to it. Cheers from Montréal, Canada

Shouldn't be an issue if you have a good team working together. Unfortunately I've had plenty games where I'm an engineer trying to build nodes but nobody ever gets me supplies...

[@Succushi]

@@TucoTheKiller I'm getting ideas, but next time that happens maybe you threaten a rifleman with the commissar and make him be your supply bringer. Also tell your squad lead that you're taking a logistic stance

@@FaithHopeLove0123 exactly! That’s where it was more effective tbh.

[@swordsman1_messer]

Can confirm. Won a game of offense on Foy by holding the second line. Objectives were Cobru Factory and the Flak Position, so I joined a squad that had set up an AT gun on the far west end of the map. There was literally no way to attack that position with discretion, and it denied the western wood thicket approach to the factory. Even a pair of tanks trying to get around still failed to break out, although that was thanks to squad comms.

[@NotThatGuyPal.]

“Don’t look at it like an AT gun, but a high powered machine gun” Wehrmacht figured that out a long time ago lol with the flak 88

[@britishmystic]

I was playing a game of Foy a few weeks ago and Southern Edge was under siege from two enemy tanks, it felt hopeless, but used smoke to break out of the strong point and headed east along a fence line. Quickly asked for support and a gun crew to spawn on our flanking outpost and we built the AT gun in the corner of the field. I spotted with the binoculars whilst two of my squad scored direct hits on the tops of both tanks destroying them both. I think everyone had a great sense of teamwork and accomplishment and we went on to win the game by eventually taking Cobru Factory.

I used it on the snow map behind some trees. The enemy tanks didnt even see me the whole match. I had so many fucking kills thats unbelievable.

[@HUNKtm]

Often people points out to me that I seems to love AT guns, and I always tell them it is overly underrated since once with my squad leader we've killed more than 50 ennemies on Foy. He was spotting the targets with his binoculars while I was shooting from afar hided by the fog. Man they never knew where it came from :P

This! Exactly how it should be done! Hell yeah

[@rainyforests1438]

Great video. Exactly how I like to play AT. Drag my gun all over the map and wait for that opportunity.

[@SldOnEmWithDa45]

Theoretically anything should be possible seeing how every squad (more or less) always has an engineer, AT, Squad Leader, Auto Rifleman, Assault. I’m starting to use the support class more often now bc being a Machine Gunner gives me headaches. I get to a beautiful spot and get my head blown off as soon as I kill a few ppl. However that’s besides the point. From what I’ve notice (from my dozen or so games as a support player) is that nobody in a squad really stays together. Everyone is always out trying to win the war and I feel like that TDM mindset that most players have takes away from the real potential that a squad can honestly achieve

[@zacharyharwell351]

It's been a while since this video but me and a rando shut down three tanks, two panthers and a tiger, in what felt like 20-25 minutes, and that was just responding to seeing them on top of being normal infantrymen

northern Carentan is also a good spot (where you can crossthe river over the boats), mostly to deny infantry crossing but often also a tank takes this position to provide cover for them... had a really... productive... gun there one match ;D But Omaha is where they can be very nasty... along with all those MG 42s

My opinion is the same on AT Guns as yours. I used them quite succesfully many times. Altough, I have mention that usually it does not take too much time to get killed by tanks, AT launchers and arty, when using it. The music was very good, idea, it made the video more fun than your other videos.

[@Smoyers]

What if the AT gun was set up in the bonus zone for a munitions node, maybe a shot could cost 2 instead of 5. Interesting dynamic. Or on repair stations, if built within a fuel node repairs happen 50% faster and if also within a munitions node it could also resupply ammo but 50% slower or something; i dont tank so idk what would be fair. Unless of course this is already a thing i just haven’t learned enough yet.

How do you replenish ammo for the AT gun. They aren’t OP. Update 10 was supposed to make them easier to use and supply ammo for. AT gun crews are super fun to play but it’s so hard as you have to convince other people to at least bring supplies to set up.

AT gun uses Munition resources. So basically, you have to build munitions nodes.

What does everyone think about the AT gun having the option to load HE rounds as well as AP? Good idea or too overpowered/a munitions drain?

[@roberttitan4497]

Unfortunately the only HE round the Pak 40 fired was the Panzergranate 38 HL/B (PzGr. 38 HL/B) A high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) projectile with a shaped charge. It would not be historically accurate to have a shell designed for anti infantry. (Fired from a Pak 40). The Germans had the Flak 88 for that. Which I hope they introduce one day. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7.5_cm_Pak_40

Actually I stand corrected. They did use HE rounds for arching fire up to 5 miles. But to my knowledge it was rare to do so.

Just a tip, we (Americans) use fractions of an inch. We don't use decimals. We use the fractions 1/2in (1.27cm), 1/4in (0.635cm), 1/8in (0.3175cm), and 1/16in (0.15875). Those are what you find on a ruler and on a tape measure. If you still need smaller, you can say 1/32in (0.079375cm) and still be understood, but in my experience that's not common at all.
