Tips on how to get better

[CBRattler13]

I just started this game and I need some tips badly. So far I understand the basics and the objective, but I'm struggling to be useful to my squad and team. I also have a tendency to die a lot, primarily to ambushes and what not.

I'm also curious about what is the best graphics setting to play on. At the moment, it is a bit difficult for me to engage targets at range because it is a bit blurry. I don't see an option to the change the resolution, so I'm curious if I can fix this or not.

The last thing I wish to know is how to deal with people who flank past the objectives to spawn camp the HQ spawns. This isn't a problem most of the time, but it has happened a few times and it is really annoying to deal with, especially if they're the only spawns available to my team.

In terms of graphics settings and resolution, Foliage on Medium and AA set to Community TAA will help the most. Resolution wise, you *should* have the option to change it, if not switch the game to window mode and see if the setting shows up for you. If not you'll likely need to change it manually in AppData>Local>HLL>Saved>Config>WindowsNoEdition>GameUserSettings, you'll need to open this in notepad.

For the people going to your HQ, in 95% of cases it's likely Recon going to kill your artillery in middle spawn and shouldn't be your concern. Unfortunately in the very few cases it does happen, if your HQs are getting camped there's not much you can do unless someone manages to build a Garrison elsewhere. There are servers that do not allow camping HQ outside of middle spawn so if you want to avoid it 100% of the time, you could play on those.

Circling back around to the first paragraph, really this all comes with time. My main advice is to observe the map and look around the main points of fighting to see where teammates are, see what spawns are lighting up red, or look for pings that indicate an enemy presence. This should help with getting surprised by the enemy.

I suck in all fps but this helps to ease the pain. COMMUNICATE. Plan ahead. Move from cover to cover. Work with your squad. Always pay attention to your flanks. Move and think in diagonals. Pay attention to your background (do not be silhuetted or stand out)

aim off for it. if your going to play back line, no one does in a pub match. middle HQ will be recon target as it has the arty, until the last objective. then really you need a squad at each unlocked HQ to delay the insert for recapture.

to deal with it you need a back line. just a 2 man squad, to patrol your back garrys and HQs.

its a good way to learn the game and also be useful to your team. you shouldn't really leave arty to deal with recon them self. if they are not on the gun they are no use to the team.

hope this helps.

EDIT: if you are going to play back line put your OP about 100 mtrs away from middle HQ then you can warn arty of recon approach if you not in the area

1:Assume someone can see you if you stand up everywhere on the map.

2: Use your map to identify where your team mates are looking. (The point of their triangle is the direction the are looking) good indicator of where the enemy is or at least was last seen

3: Use your map to determine where your friendlies are dieing. This will tell you generally where the action is.

4: Arty will kill you and so will tanks. Nothing you can do about it. Just accept it and move on. In case of tank , try a different route.

5: Communication. When you see an enemy , ping it and say in coms "Enemy at *numbers on compass* . if your whole squad does this everyone's k/d climbs.

6:never stand up unless you have 3/4 cover around you .

7: don't sprint across fields, use the ditch or trees on the edges.

8: Watch ditches and trees along edges of fields.

9:Be the bush

i realy have to contradict this one point, everything else is helpfull.

if you tell compass bearings its no use to most people, same with left or right!
its only applys to them who are standing so close to you that you feel their nosebreath.

if the squad is close enough, directions (w/e/n/s) and the ping is far better to understand. also maybe describe someting close like behind the shed, at the well, tank wreck... things like that.
but keep it short and dont make a novel out of it XD

some also use the map grids and numpad keys to narrow it down.

at least .. please, pretty please, with a cherry on top - DONT say right or left or the compass bearing numbers ^^

so, to get back on topic:
sorry OP, there is just nothing that realy can beat experience and wasted time in this game. and if you play with totaly incompetent mates, they also are just usefull as a bad example for how not to do it ;)
alot of nice tipps are all around this forum, if its not a "cheeetaaahs everywhere" post or similar bs.

also good vids out there to get some good input, but again you still have to do that yourself then ingame.

North is always North , East is always east , and 145 is always 145. compass directions are always helpful. And if you're NOT so close to your squad you can feel their breath then wtf are you doing ?

[Hylie Pistof]

avoiding getting killed from a nade you have attracted, or wiping the whole squad because one loony has to shoot a shadow 450m away! toghether doesnt mean in 2m distance.

what i said - give a direction, not a number on the compass. north is better then 360 (XD), because if im not right on your backpack i will have another bearing! and i would have to search you first, befor knowing what the hell you mean.

Lay low, hug the walls bushes dont move fast always listen. Those so called flanks main point strategy of the game. Team that does not flank do not spread out and dont defend the sides just let themselves become surrounded most of the time loose game. Flanking side behind objective HQs really really important. If you are not good at the game like me instead of running around with everyone just take a slow trip behind the enemy lines try to discover and destroy their supplies garrisons it might not seem a lot but finding and destroying their garrison is like having 50 kills if not more its what wins games.

There is no getting better its a War Sim, your gonna get mowed down the whole time just pray for 1-3 kills.....notice how many ppl playing this?

that only works if you have people who talk to you instead of mute you when you join the squad also if you cant take more than 5 steps from spawn your logic breaks down pretty fast so yeah

they call it a war sim but its a bad title this is a poorly thought out game with ruined potential. theres too much to remember just command wise to even become effective let alone you have to pray you land a squad that cares and doesnt mute you so not everyone got to enjoy this game most of us regret it because of the miserable experience it is

unfortunately this strategy only works if both sides are following the rules and play the game which most done most are trolls waiting to ruin the game for you so sadly your advice only works if everyone in the game abides
