15:38 Wrong. Commander carries the same cap weight as everyone else

Last night played 4 long games in a row, with the same squad leaders, same commander, and my own squad members. The game really really REALLY shines on those moments. Team work. Makes the dream work

Supply drops can be put in some “out of bounds” places, on roofs, inside inaccessible courtyards and in rivers. Look for greyed out areas on urban maps. Really helpful if you have a pain in the ass recon on the other team that keeps finding your supplies.

I tried zooming in on the map with the scroll wheel, then remembered it was a video......

As someone who's recently gotten into the commander role, this helps immensely. Preciate your input. Never really thought about using half-tracks as efficiently as you do.

“Tell your Blueberries to not think…to not take initiative” Oh my hell, that made me laugh way to hard, but its true! This is also the type of content that will get me to support your KZfaq, definitely want to see more of this.

"audio edited to highlight the voices" nearby truck: "*HONK* *HOOOONK*!!!1!1!!"

Really like the new format. I'd been wishing there was a youtube video doing play-by-play analysis of the commander role. Excited to learn new strategies!

Yes I need this. Im a "forever officer" and can never get the courage to get out of the role

Awesome video! Just a few things I would have done differently. 1. Communicate with squad leaders about things that probably have no relevance to strategy due to map confusion. 2. Place garrison's where enemies could easily find and destroy them. 3. Lead my team to an embarrassing and demoralizing defeat. Other than those I think you did juuuust fine.

90% of the effectiveness of command is having SLs that actually cooperate... Things that this match had that I often don't... SLs recommending options for garrison, established defensive squads that don't just leave... And SLs that try to replace removed garrisons... Those three things alone mean the commander can actually deploy real tactics and really help the team.

I always drop supplies right in the beginning behind enemy lines. They normally do not see them. This is a simple way, to build later in the game a perfekt attack garrison.

"Can you guys tell your blueberries not to think or take initiative?"

This is exactly how I've been using half-tracks.

Calling all blueberries - do not think! 😂 initiative denied

Very helpful video, always good to see some POV. What I have trouble with as commander is half the games I get in (besides Remagen), random enemies are already killing me in my supply truck by the time I'm trying to place my 2nd or 3rd garrison myself. Ofc I ask squad leaders to help build them and designate some to do so, but sometimes they never do. The games I have the toughest time are the ones I can't get up garries myself sometimes. A video or tips on how to deal with enemy AT or recons picking off the commander while driving supply trucks/half tracks in the back line could be useful.

The biggest responsibility of the commander is to hold your team from pushing all to the next point😅

Love this concept for a series

I can't lie, though, as a player who primarily plays recon, the 'strafing run' defense to a contested garrison is pretty dastardly.

Love your videos Mono, they are very helpful. I wish more people would spend time studying tactics and procedures in this game. - I tend to be less mobile than you and drop supplies more frequently. I'll drop them into locations that are well behind the front lines. They are basically unusable at the time of the drop, but are ready for use when we advance. That technique works most of the time, as the enemy isn't looking for them that far back. Keep the vids coming my friend, and maybe we'll cross paths in the game -=ROAD-KiLL=-

If I ever consistently get this amount of cooperation on console I’m buying a lottery ticket 😭 biggest difference I’ve seen between the two platforms is that there is so much more cooperation and (useful) communication between SL’s

I really like these videos. I just started playing on console, and I'm finding a lot of games with no commander. So, I would hop in as commander and listen to the more experienced players. Hopefully, I won't find myself in that position, but it's better to know for when I do.

Thank you. I usually end up playing squad leader when everyone sits in the new game lobby waiting for someone to make a squad, so I'll eventually have to learn Commander under the same circumstances lmao

Great video, would love to see more of this. Question: Is building with the engineer just a meme since it uses supplies that could be used for garrisons?

Can confirm, when commanding your looking at the map 80% of the match!

This is going to be a fire series

8:32 red zone garry locks within 100m, this seems a bit too close, I would drop it more in the corner of C5 sector, so you can both attack from there and have next garries there for the attack.

My man this is what I need, I need to refine my commander skills and this tipe of videos are best for that.

MONO perfect timing. I joined a game a few nights ago, and no one built a garrison first few mins of the match. I'm waiting to spawn in... waiting waiting.... said F IT, ive never been a commander, ive watched mono's videos, lets give it a try!! dropped supplies so a gari can be built when we eventually lose the mid obj. all the squads pass the supplies, and i dont get a gari built till 3 mins after. only a few minutes in, i get teamkilled!! are you Sh!tn me!! Finally some people start asking for stuff, I answer, but not a single squad built their own garrison. I tried re-enforcing, no one went in. no nodes. we got swept so fast. That was my first experience... how awesome!!! probably my last now.. maybe ill try again ha we will see

THANK YOU 🙏 Love guides like these!

I kind of agree with you on the precision strike, because it's definitely very expensive. BUT often it's also very helpful. And if you have all sets of nodes... I almost ever kill the tank with this strike, and often this is very important to defend/ attack a point. You just need a good spotter, who knows when the tank got in a new stationary position. And is there a reason why you don't let them build there nodes in the *I sector* ? It's possible to build a defend garrison around there and drop supplies around. That makes it very easy for them to build nodes in the save sector. But on the other side, it's pretty impressive how you defend the 3rd point. It looks almost impregnable with all the garrisons and halftracks.

Turned around a couple matches like this, what a great comeback and win

Can see that your team didn't use tanks. I usually use one offensive and one defensive half track and save the rest of the fuel for tanks & trucks.

Had a game the other day where I knew our commanders experience level at this game. Told my squad he knows more than us so if you want to win just do what he says.

Got our ass kicked all game long by a very good team with armor prowess on Foy. After hanging on last point. Called in a airspawn with less than 10 to go, captured N30. High tailed it NW behind Southern Edge to put up a Garrison on some pre dropped supplies. Called in another airspawn NE, redeployed to artillery and layed down smoke for my guys. Took Southern Edge with 1:14 left and won the game.

I argue that the ammo drop is not entirely useless. I’ve used it to great success to cover up a airhead drop

I wish they would fix the HQ sawn coming crap. Cool video thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻🙃🙃

The 1 thing I like about hell let loose the most is it’s very existence

only thing i would have done differently Mono is I would have dropped an Ammo Crate instead of supply drop before the Airhead. they look similar

This is really cool I'm glad someone developed this kind of game! Is it possible to play as commander every game? I like Enlisted but man I don't want to pay to win I'd much rather pay to play once

rolled my eyes as soon as you pulled out that last airhead, but otherwise, pretty much how I do things. Rare to have so much fuel though

At least precision strike is very cool man

Could you make a video about how to herd blueberries when their movements defy logic?

So basically, Commander = Truck driving simulator 2022? Jokes aside, it does look kinda fun and I want to try it some time. What do we think about a possible new feature where the Commander can have a squad of 1-2 people to act as dedicated logistics support, so the Commander can actually do some shooting every now and then?

omg he's driving and using his iPad at the same time

This is awesome people say I suck at commander so hopefully this helps

Finallly i can understand thing about Commander

Within Two minutes in the video and I immediately tell this is not HLL public server, or at least your not typical HLL public server. Squad leaders are responding to the commander more frequently and doing commander orders. Not only that but the leadership comms aren't cluttering (They don't talk over each other). I think this is a seeded clan public server.

"This sucks". Yeah, the turret on a half-track looks like a 360 ring but it has like 15 degrees of rotation. It's awful.

08:40 (Almost) never put a supply truck in mid HQ ^^

Curious why you threw that bombing run at 5:50. Wouldn't you normally want to wait until attacking squads are in position to push the point and capitalize on their garry being down? Seems like would probably have enough time to rebuild it now. Good guide btw, love your videos!

I had the same problem with the frame rate drop when in a fire fight.

Can you actually explain what your doing when your doing it for a master class video on commander?

Any server you would recommend on playing? I have been bouncing around and it has been more difficult find more experienced HLL games.

I keep trying to zoom in on the map to see things 😅

F yeah. 🤙🔥

Sucks when your team has great garrisons but get taken down immediately. Gotta protect your garrisons. Too many ppl just run staight to the fight.

its really cool this kind of guides, but I think that you should put context to what you are doing, why you drive supplies to does points in particular what you recommend depending on the situation ( defend/attack etc). Estan geniales tus videos Mono!.

Mono, why do you rotate the Garrison before placing it? Does the direction it points affect where the players spawn?

Not bad, I can offer some changes but over all good. The actual problem try commanding when everyone on your team is new and not willing to use thier mics.

Whenever I play commander, literally no one responds or does anything useful

Well played !

Great teaching tool

Nice mono thanks a lot ;)

6:31 whats the orange/red circle on the map to the west-northwest of the strongpoint? I keep seeing it in my matches but ive never had anyone know what it is

Omg. A command chat where everyone isn't screaming and joking around??

Thanks!

I play command a lot big thing dont place flamking garisons, idiots will all span and leave the point

Commanders setting up Garrys should be secondary to everything else. SL should be setting up garrys recently the lack of good SL has been noticeable.

Can you expand on how to find enemy garrisons working with recon?

Love this

More good stuff

Ammo drop is to distract more than to help tbh

They need to add a vote system to remove bad commander's I had a commander the other day that was sabotaging the game by removing all our garrisons an like 8 of us were forced to spawn camp our commander so he couldn't keep removing our garrisons it was ridiculous

NOICE!

Wait the recon plane can spot Garrys?????? Or were you just inferring its location based on red dot proximity?

Everything good. Only criticism is that you are 45 min into the game and have not dropped a single airhead yet. I'll personally drop one immediately at the beginning of the match when the enemy is over-extended and keep dropping them really all game. If you do not want to start a flank and have your team over-extended on a flank airhead, then drop it kinda close to their cap. Worst thing that can happen is that they destroy the airhead, the best case is that your team effectively teleports very close to their cap. There is essentially no reason to float the airhead ability and that much manpower all game. You could've dropped 4 or 5 airheads by the time you finally used the ability once. Float is generally bad unless you are saving resources or abilities for something. High level commanders know when the enemy team is over-extended and can cheese the enemy. There are so many opportunities to drop airheads all game, especially relatively close ones.

Honestly I'm ready for update dark coming from PS5 I am ready to try out the new air strike the new flare guns and the new night variants in the new tanks can they please hurry up

This game is so photorealistic that any other game I play seems cartoony or plastic. Thank you HLL for ruining any other game for me! =)

What in-game name do you use?

You’re wasting time driving back just respawn a new supply truck at HQ and just respawn it’s only 100 points? It’ll take 5-6min to drive back reload and drive back just suicide and jump in new truck or just ask people to bring it up to a spawn and park it off side and you can grab it

The Commander should not be doing all the hard work ;)

How is this a „masterclass“? You hardly explain stuff, you don’t really annage squads, a lot of your garris are getting taken out…
