Hi! I've created a new, shorter artillery guide that contains more useful tips, from the general operation of the gun to things you can do to fend off enemy recon squads. Watch it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIaanoOwdtt_m7s **Thanks for watching and helping to make this my most watched video! 😁P.S - Apparently I say somewhere in the video that real life artillery is not accurate and many real life servicemen who have never played Hell Let Loose before keep informing me that I'm wrong. Thanks for letting me know, I'll definitely keep that in mind 👍

Todays artillery is way more accurate than you think. The triple 7 with rap rounds and or Excalibur rounds will put that round within 5 meters. And even is smarty enough to land as a dud if it’s outside it’s designated target

[@RedcoatViking_Official]

That's pretty cool!

[@McGriddy51095]

Did you see a recent test where we hit a moving target with a 155 round at about 47km on the horizontal plane? We literally guided a 155 into a horizontal path and hit a moving truck sized target at over 40km, modern artillery in magical

[@nath9091]

Late but some of this comment seems pretty off. Excalibur is probably mostly right although maybe 6m. RAP projectiles however have a listed CEP of 259m at max range using M198 due to lack of terminal guidance. There is a PGK guided version but this has a CEP of 20.9m which is a fair bit less accurate than 5m. The PGK safety dud mode only activates 150m away. It's a useful feature but that's a sizable danger close circle. Your main point that modern artillery is dramatically more accurate than WW2 is of course correct.

100m range difference = 23/24mil elevevation difference, meaning you can adjust in 33 metre increments with 8mil adjustments, 8.25 metres with 2mil adjustments and 4.125 metre increments with 1 mil adjustments Meaning you can come within 1 metre of a 1034m target at 756mil

[@dogchaser520]

~12mil per 50m and ~6mil per 25m increment are also useful to remember. 8mil for 33m is handy if you're dividing in thirds, but I think we're more comfortable doing things by halves and quarters, generally. Arty is inaccurate enough that breaking it down to decimal points only adds confusion. May as well just round it off.

Another trick for artillery: If you annoy the enemy team enough, you can usually park the transport/supply truck at angles in front of the gun you're on to further impede snipers from harassing you. If someone needs to use them, no big deal - they'll respawn eventually and maybe you could move a tank to fill in the spot instead.

When the enemy recon assigns one of two squads do keep you silent. Then youve done it right :)

[@somerandomguy4240]

Having a recon unit pin down the enemy artillery is always a solid strategy. That is my main objective when playing recon.

[@lelandjackson9048]

Facts!!

[@itsdenga]

TIP: as an arty u should create your own unit and lock it, designate your unit as arty in the menu. As an officer you can place an outpost, do that in order to alert you if enemy recon are around (you will see the outpost getting red exclamation mark on the map when enemies are near ) If you disassemble your outpost, you don't have to wait for the cooldown to place a new one.

[@traumaleaguenow1653]

It was no guessing game for Artillery for a hundred+ years, the Fire Direction Center gets info from the Forward Observers, translates and sends the information to the guns which dial in and fire with pin point accuracy. The whole process takes seconds, the longest wait is for the rounds to drop. So technically in game we are usually doing all three of those jobs at once: identifying the target, finding it on the map, and swinging the guns in the right direction and angle to fire a desired number of shells, by type, and pattern. If you have a spotter, awesome but you are still left with two jobs, so I don't think using the Arty calculator is all that bad lol. I was an FO in the US Army, only reason I know all that, hahaha.

[@RadiationReactor]

Knew how artillery worked but decided to watch and learned about that loading trick. Nice. Also, support roles like artillery and logi are underrated in team-based games. Something about sending some heavy shells down range and getting "Good effect on target." just feels way too good. Great video btw

[@swtehdiplomat]

The reason for the variation (in terms of where the shot lands) is baked into the game. The Devs - in an effort to nerf its effectiveness; not only removed their ability to destroy garrisons, but also added in an RNG effect to where it lands respective to where it's "dialed in". What this means the shots will land 2m-20m from your dialed in target; hence why you may get more friendlies than anticipated, as even 15m-20m can put it on the other side of the house/courtyard you were targeting.

[@unbearifiedbear1885]

Pretty true to real Artillery, especially of the period and this era of Combined Arms; you hit within a 15-30m box of aim point. This is *planned for* and designed - it is a feature, not a bug! Shells are sent in *barrage,* not individually - if you want Arty to be effective, the target needs to be *saturated.* If the gun fired pinpoint accurate, you'd need to adjust FOS between every round, otherwise you'd just keep hitting the same point over and over.. imperfections in an individual shell or gun, strong wind, even the ground; you can't control any of it and it *all* comes in to play, so you design *for it.* Its not a "targeted" weapon; its a suppression weapon - you want it to hit as many different areas in a box as possible.

[@l2k1988]

Another useful piece for the timing between switching seats; What I do is listen to the end of the chamber closing sound to begin switching seats. For me, it's easier than trying to time it. It may or may not be faster or slower than what's shown here. To put it simply, wait for the tail end of the "closing the chamber" sound to switch.

[@dollazNzentz]

Best tutorial/breakdown I’ve seen. I was using the calculator before and it would take too long to input numbers and relate that to the game. Knowing that the strikes aren’t pinpoint was good to know as well. Now I’ll pan left or right while adjusting the mil at the same time. Soo much faster. Got 44 kills in about 40mins on Soviet defense. It definitely helped the team with the win

thanks, amazing tutorial and very understandable. once played an full arty match with an random teammate and made 192 kills. we also destroyed a few garry's and other spawn points.

[@leroyrussell8766]

I'll be honest. I don't find artillery in this game to be "game enhancing." Too unrealistic. Too constant. And too accurate. Not to mention the cheaters. Speaking of which, try to not be so obvious that you are cheating. For instance, sometimes, as a squad leader, I park myself in a bush and just use my binos to highlight targets for my squad. I do this way out away from the fight, and on the flank. I sit there and do not fire or do anything to bring attention to myself. Even had people run past me as close as 5 feet away, and not see me. But suddenly, out of nowhere, one single shell lands on me and kills me. Tell me you are cheating without telling me you are cheating. When the game was new, I could sit there the entire game and this not happen. As the cheats came online, I now often can't sit there for more than a few minutes before this happens. Others have noticed this as well. It's like if you stay stationary too long, you become too tempting to the cheater. Another thing I might like to see is a huge penalty for killing team players. Something that increases exponentially the more you kill team members. This would force artillery to work more closely with spotters. This would also force them to not shell the areas that their own team is attacking, especially without more teamwork. It's just my personal preference, but getting killed over and over by artillery simply because the I'm trying to defend a point, and the artillery man isn't that worried about killing his own players 25 feet away from me, isn't game enhancing. The fact that Artillery gets so many kills highlights this point. I prefer there be more balance in the Artillery game. You can watch any real footage from WWII, and artillery was not constantly raining down on every battle. It's way way overdone in HLL. Something needs to be done to balance it. Not remove it. Balance it. Don't give me, "that's what recon is for." I've held off two recon teams by manning one single light tank and placing it near the arty. They were not able to affect the arty at all after that. Also, and this is an HLL Dev problem, being killed the split second you spawn in. Nobody likes that, and this is where SQUAD is superior. Squad gives you a structure to spawn inside of, with multiple ways out. I've spawned into one that was camped, and me and the others fought our way out, using teamwork, smoke, grenades, and lot's of grit. Camping one of those as one person with an MG is not possible. In SQUAD/SQUAD 44, your "outposts" can be placed inside buildings. Works great. Not sure why this game can't make it work.

@@leroyrussell8766 The most common comment I've had since making this random low effort video is in response to me saying that artillery is too accurate.

[@neekBG3]

My best advice for learning how to use artillery effectively is to start by playing on Offensive mode on the defending team. Due to the gamemode limitations the enemy recon squads are unable to come and attack the defending artillery until the centre capture point is taken. So you are free to blast away at infantry for 3 zones without any chance of being killed.

[@Bushido1389]

So what i learned from the summary is that i can turn the arty even further in the loader seat. What i like to do when i calculate is to use the mils of course, lets say you got a target at 1340m, 1300m is 701mil and 1400m is 677mil. 24 mils always equal 100 meters so i like to basically use 5 mils as 20 meters, its not spot on since 24÷5 is 4.8 but its close enough. Using that formula i would set the gun to about 691 or 692mil and it should be fairly accurate on 1340 meters. What i also like to do is turn very slightly left or right inbetween shots since you never know in which direction the target might use but then again i dont use arty alot so i could be doing mistakes.

[@tcd2cool]

I imagine that 622 mil is the setting for 45 degrees (the maximum horizontal distance a projectile can travel without propulsion). So the increase there is just going beyond 45 degrees, which just shoots the projectile in a big arc going up, then falling down. I think as you get closer to 1000 mil, that would be 0 degrees.... which would shoot the shell straight up and land back on your head. :) I hope this helps.

[@thomsont5832]

actually 800 mils is 45 degrees. Entire 360 degrees is 6400 mils.

[@joeneateyskeety3576]

Mil just means milliradian, so 1000 mil is 1 radian. 2π radians is 360 degrees

If we were able to shoot it straight up in the game, you would have 10% chance to receive it directly on your head as it's RNG says 2~20m radius range on a 360 degrees area from the epicentre

[@jamesgibson5432]

Super helpful, thanks!

[@RedcoatViking_Official]

Glad it was helpful!

Man your voice is super calming and chill

[@RedcoatViking_Official]

Thanks, I grew it myself!

Awesome mate 🫡

[@Martiniboy22]

Really good Tutorial on arty

[@Rumpole1000]

Arty is so under used in HLL. When its used properly its devistating but many commanders either forget to use or dismiss it all together.

[@RedcoatViking_Official]

The problem is that it's such an expensive drain on resources that the commander usually tells people to get off the guns unless you really show that you're an asset to the team using it, which unfortunately most people aren't because they don't communicate, coordinate or avoid friendly fire lol.

[@CptJazzboi]

Great tutorial! Now once I stop getting team killed on the arty setup I know how to use it!

[@RedcoatViking_Official]

Getting team killed while on artillery usually means one of the shells you just fired landed square on a friendly's head and they took it personally lol. Watch your aim, remember not to fire too close to where friendlies are (and could move to before the shells arrive), mark your barrages on the map (why it's important to do it as a squad leader and not a regular joe), and call out all barrages in command chat before firing to give them a fighting chance.

[@hammer5193]

awsome video! thank you

[@RedcoatViking_Official]

Anytime!

When I was in the Canadian Armed Forces I was in light armoured reconnaissance. One of our jobs was being the artillery spotters. Using a map with a grid that was designed to give coordinates ranging from 1,000 metres to 1 metre, we would radio back a set of coordinates. They would fire one shot and we'd watch where it landed. If it was too far off, we could tell them to correct X number of metres in which direction, then fire to check. One they were on target, we'd send in our request. Something like "give me figures five hotel echo and figures two whiskey papa, fire for effect". Then 5 HE and 2 WP shells would arrive and the problem went away!

Thanks man good video

[@ontrous]

great vid, thanks

[@Zetty545]

Nice job 👍 Tank you !

[@gordiausprime614]

Never seen anyone use these untill yesterday, I joined in as a loader for him got a phenomenal 61-1 just wish I could see the chaos on the other side

[@Taliyon]

Well done! A much needed tutorial.

[@Mtshil]

great video!

[@RedcoatViking_Official]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@rylanmcclanahan1328]

Great tutorial first try 14 arty kills didn’t start till later in the match but for my first try at arty it was good

[@rylanmcclanahan1328]

Second match 50+kills they funneled themselves into the objective

[@smeghead765]

There's a lot wrong with the function and animations but this is still the best depiction of artillery in any FPS game I've ever seen. They kinda have to break it down Barney style for the players since very few of them will have any real experience.

[@tirinoarim]

Better depiction than Arma3?

[@smeghead765]

@@tirinoarim good question. I've never played Arma so I really couldn't say.

[@BillyraycyrusIII]

Good stuff

[@jamesony]

amazing breakdown... i dont even have the game, but this is entertaining. XD

[@RedcoatViking_Official]

Man if you think this was entertaining, you must be the only one haha, so thank you!

[@lioncactus1906]

Step 1. Get a microphone Step 2. Get a sqaud leader that talks and gives you marks. Step 3. Keep an eye on the changes happening in the map. Step 4. Keep an eye on munitions total. Stop once below 500 imo. Step 5. If command says stop, you stop. 99% of players cant do the above. Do that and youll automaticly be top 1%

[@TopGunner4411]

looking at the scale it appears that every 100m is ~24 MIL (23 and change), so couldn't you just pick the closest known value, and do 0.24 * the difference between the known value and the actual distance to find the MIL adjustment? Or for some Canadian Windage, a quarter of the difference is your MIL offset...

[@Sleek898]

I recently bought the game, I am enjoying it, but this looks sick ass hell.

[@RedcoatViking_Official]

Give it a go! It's easier than it looks

[@USArmy1911]

Hey all there is a arty calculator for hll on the android store, its called artillery let loose, it lets you pick what faction you are playing as and even has a history function to record previous fire missions

[@robertalexandre7]

and "voilà" :D :D !! great video thanks

[@james94m]

Good tutorial; I've been running arty for a while. Using the calculator I've gotten up to 124 kills in a match. A good commander making good marks helps a ton.

[@RedcoatViking_Official]

wow 124 kills is nice! Great job :)

[@fricholas7608]

Dont want to say your wrong, but today's artillery can land within 5 meters of a target. I only know this because of someone I know that's in an artillery reg. And the blast radius is much larger than 5m, so it's pretty much pinpoint lol. Thanks for the good guide! Looking forward to kicking ass then getting sniped when people get annoyed lol

[@darolaho]

If you want to be more accurate without using external programs. You can do a simple calculator problem to quickly get results. the Mil difference between each 100M is roughly 23-24 every time. This means you can take 23.5 and times it by .X where x is the number in meters between each 100 meter. You would then take this number and minus the MIL of the lower distance between the two known MIL So for example if you are targeting a distance of 1,068 you would take "23.5 times .68" this gives you 15.98. You can now subtract the MIL for 1,000M which is 764 MIL which would give you a final MIL of -748 (just ignore the negative number) this can be done with one equation in a basic scientific calculator as "(23.5 * .xx) - Y" where xx is the distance in meters between each 100 and Y is the MIL of the lower setting between the two. (kinda crappy explanation not a math guy) Of course given enough time you should just be able to quickly estimate/do it in your head. You could also add roughly 2.35 MIL for every 10 meters. Or you could add roughly 6 MIL for every 25 meters.

[@RedcoatViking_Official]

*Battle rages in the distance as you hear your allies screaming and begging for artillery support* "Hold on, boys! Almost done with this equation!" 😆

[@TheBanjoShowOfficial]

yeah fuck that I'm not doin any of that, I just mentally find the middle and go off of that. Tends to do the job just fine. In the time you've done those calculations I could have fired 3 approximate shells which will land one hit the closest

[@SOSGaming404]

You say artillery is supposed to be inaccurate, but I often feel like I am being sniped by enemy artillery.

[@HaldolBerries]

Thank you
