Awesome to hear that and happy to have helped man! Stay tuned for more and consider joining the discord as well. Lots of super cool people in there and lots of tips are shared.

That's true. Find them, fix them, flank them.

Exactly, if there is no frontal attack then the flank becomes the main attack, with maybe a bit more surprise at the beginning. Still, it's always better to attack from an unexpected direction.

Well yes your right or it wouldn't be called a flank lol

No. I run till i die, thats how the game is. It dosent matter where i go

The problem in HLL is the endlessly patient motherfucker sitting in a bush all match preventing my flanks. And they somehow end the match with 6 kills and they’re all me haha😅

True😃😃😆🤣

You need good squad leaders who enforce effective communication for that.

No shit right....just go far around and carefully back in....ugh....

Fat chance. I find myself 60% of the time trying to get the team to do something other than run straight into hordes of enemies or into uncaptured points.

Dont helps. Go where enemy dont expect u???? He dont will expect me anywhere coz in this game there isnt a single secound u know where enemy is and from where he comes. Kill garnision? Stupid? I cant know where they are! Flank? No reason to do so. U start running till u die, than respawn and repeat it over and over again till the game is over, thats the game, Idk why it matter where i run to get killed Flank enemy when u are i defanse?? Again, u CANT CANT and CANT flank a enemy in a game where u dont know at any secound where the enemy is! U dont know at any secound if hes in front, left, right or behind u in this game! Heeeellloooo??

Patience goes a long way in HLL. Flanking and being disciplined enough to not always immediately start firing pays off. Instead of killing one or two and then being killed yourself, you can wipe out garrisons, and kill entire squads sometimes. Much more Impactful and much more fun!

My thought process exactly lol. I don't even need to encourage people to stay on the Frontline cuz there's plenty of people who do just that!

Very nice of you. Thanks man!

Thanks, glad it was helpful! Subscribe if you haven't already cuz I've got more good stuff in the works. Also you're welcome to join my discord. We'll give you a warm welcome and show you the ropes! dsc.gg/soulsniper

You played a big part in the victory it sounds like! I love hunting garrisons. Super satisfying to know you just decreased the enemies options!

Same here man, I love it! If you're on PC we should play sometime. You can join my discord and check out our HLL server if ya want. dsc gg/soulsniper If you're on console we've got a console players in there too.

Wrong game here, bud.

Great points! I will also add that you can take a quick break from dismantling to kill an enemy and then resume dismantling where you left off if you're quick and stay near the nodes or Garry.

That's true, however most squads go for a head on attack, which is why I felt the need to make this video. Flanking is so damn effective in HLL if you do it right.

@@SoulSniperYT When flanking goes wrong; if you make the mistake of building a flanking garrison on a public server. It's almost inevitable the *_whole team_* deploys there, so you'll likely also lose your frontline garries to a counter attack. Suddenly the _"flank"_ is your only front, and eventually you end up having your flanking garrison locked because it's invariably in enemy territory; completely extinguishing your attack. I've seen this happen so often it's *_almost_* guaranteed in public matches. Lesson; on public servers have only 1-2 units flank using *_outposts_* only. Otherwise you'll need agreement on which units are flanking with the understanding the garrison is only a fallback when *_those_* units lose their outpost(s). A convincing argument for those in the meat grinder, is that they will also be on a flank when the defence has to rotate because of your flanking maneuver. Protect those garrisons everyone!

This is an excellent point. You'll notice I did not promote building a Garrison, just placing an outpost. This is why. People tend to spawn at whatever Garrison is closest to the enemy location. Building one while attempting to flank is an open invitation for the rest of your team to come blow your cover, lock the garrison, and lose your own sector due to lack of defense.

@@SoulSniperYT yes, I noticed and am thankful. For clarity my comment was not intended as criticism, and merely to raise awareness, so perhaps tagging you was unnecessary. Update: I wonder if placing the flanking garrison farther away from the objective than the frontline garries would mitigate that tendency; I somehow doubt it, since everyone tires of the static combat (meat grinder) and will want another angle of approach. PS: for avoidance of doubt, your videos have been very excellent and high quality, I appreciate the effort that must go into them!

Oh I didn't take it as criticism, no worries dude. I was just agreeing with you and noting that, while I didn't specifically talk about that issue in the video, I also encouraged the use of outposts rather than garrisons. 👍

Awesome man! Happy to hear you enjoy the server! If you're ever interested in VIP access, a bunch of us split the server cost so it's dirt cheap per person and that gets you VIP access. Join the discord if you're interested. dsc.gg/soulsniper

How long have you been playing? You'll eventually start taking down a few. Long kill streaks aren't the norm by the way. Sometimes you only get one or two and don't find a Garrison or anything. But it's still better than Frontline wack-a-mole lol.

@@SoulSniperYT I'm lvl 36. Played about 40 hours. I guess my frustration usually is that people seem to have eyes in the back of their heads. Not that they're cheating but I just don't know how they figure out where I am so fast. Especially when I think I'm concealed well. I usually have no idea where I get killed from unless theyre right in front of me, so it can't be that the dead guys are calling out where they get shot from. Maybe they can just pinpoint the sound of my shots in the middle of the rest of the cacophony somehow. If so, we'll kudos to them, I could never be that sweaty. Or am I playing on too high graphics settings and not as concealed as I think I am? I know that was a problem on arma.

@@randomite88 audio clues definitely play a role here. Experienced players can hear the difference between most of the weapons (mp40 vs Thompson, STG vs BAR, etc.) and footsteps can also heard heard quite clearly, especially with a decent headset. If you've flanked the enemy, you have probably caught them off guard and are likely near their OP or garrison, or inside the strong point. These are areas they want to protect at all costs, so if one goes down, usually they warn their teammates nearby as you mentioned. Also, there is a slight visual indicator that very briefly flashes on the screen when you get hit. photos.app.goo.gl/EiQWxQqPeKNHirzs6 I'm usually able to tell the general direction I'm hit from and can sometimes turn and return fire quick enough to take people out. But yea, honestly you're still fairly green. Give it some time and you'll likely start doing more damage in those scenarios. I'm working on the assault role guide video now which has a lot of combat effectiveness tips since that role is all about killing. Hoping to have it uploaded this week. 👍

Oh and also keep in mind that whenever you see video clips of these long kill streaks, that's not the typical experience. You're watching someone's rare moment they recorded and decided to share. What you don't see is how many games they played where they got destroyed or did just ok before they finally popped off and had something worthy of sharing. Keep playing and enjoying the game man! Those amazing moments will come.

Thats how it was with me to begin with and I'll tell you what changed it. Move to cover, stop, look all around. Anyone moving is highly visible, stand still and many people just won't see you. Move up in little bursts with long periods of watching. Also if you suspect they're close, don't sprint and keep ears open. Hope this helps

Do you have any tips for arty? My biggest concern is team kill arty and over firing the objective when my team wants to push in

@@Sniper0502 I do! I'll try to keep them brief and helpful (not in order of importance): 1. Expect enemy recon to show up and harass you, do what you can to make their job harder a. Get a unused truck stationed in front of the arty you are using b. Drop an OP to serve as a "radar" against enemies c. Spread some mines if you can, yourself or from friendlies (the more the merrier) 2. Use your preferred arty calculator, have it on your phone or a separate screen (hell let loose artilly calculator -> google) 3. During reload (when solo on arty), you can press F1 to change to the gunner spot when the loading bar reaches the ammunition bar (more or less, pay attention to it), this will save you precious seconds between shots 4. Pay attention to the ammunition count (press tab and check upper left screen), don't fire if running low. Learn to pace your shots. 5. Make full use of icons requesting arty as well as allied flares and recons, fire on those spots as long as allies are not too close to it 6. Communicate with your team letting them know where you are firing (name of objective or grid location) 7. Remember that you usually have 20+ seconds between you firing your gun and the shell hitting. Always shoot where you think the enemy will be in 20s 8. While on reloader, you can hold down "2" to change to smoke, and "1" to change back to explosive shells. Use smoke only when requested or after communicating. 9. When firing, don't shoot the exact same spot over and over, spread a little. To the sides and the inclination as well, change the angle in small numbers (such as changing 1 between shots). Use your common sense to spread the shots on an area but don't move in large angle numbers too, unless there are more enemies on the new angles you are shooting at I just thought of these from the top of my head, so they aren't in importance order and I might have forgotten something... but that should most of it :)

Open a locked squad and designate it as Arty. Then communicate a lot with the other SLs, who are your eyes on the battlefield. Ask them to mark locations on the map for arty. Communicate to them before you start shelling an area so they know to tell their squad to avoid the area. Understand that there's a delay between you firing and the shell landing. So if you are going to cease fire, know that the last shell is still in the air on track for the target. Communication is key to ensuring you don't slaughter your whole team. Just like in real life. And use the arty calculators. Google it. :)

Glad you think so man! Feel free to stop by the discord and introduce yourself! dsc.gg/soulsniper Maybe we can squad up sometime!

@@SoulSniperYT Just done it, bro. I'm Jonny B on there. Thanks very much! :D

@@UnifiedFilms Welcome to the club man!

Depends on the map. Something like Kursk or Foy require deeper flanks than something like St. Mere Eglise.

@@SoulSniperYT id say flanking too far is always better than not flanking far enough

Yea, in many cases I'd agree!

A lot of it has to do with being smart about how you flank and patient. You really have to think about where enemies most likely are and where they're watching and either avoid those areas or find ways to pass through those areas quietly and quickly. I might be doing a new tutorial pretty soon that kind of touches on some of these things.

@@SoulSniperYT I kept everything in mind while I played a couple of matches. Tried to flank one grid out, checked my map for where the enemy would use cover. Vast improvement. Still got demolished, but located a lot of squads trying to push.

@@digthathole5521 a lot of it comes with experience and map knowledge too. You'll learn the common danger zones and where people like to post up or travel. You'll get there, just keep playing and enjoying!

Outposts are key to sustaining a flank

It doesn't work if everyone flanks. That just shifting the frontline. You need the steady frontal assault to keep the enemies focus so your flanking squad(s) can catch them off guard.

Yea that does happen and it can be frustrating for sure. Just be cautious and smart and aware of your surroundings as you move and be ready to defend yourself.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!

Thanks man!

Sounds good dude!

Your point about defense is very true lol. Though I wouldn't call what most people do flanking. It's more like pushing directly into the point straight from the last strongpoint in a straight line!

The tactics are revolving matter Discovery North Carolina ( me too NC ) . Like chess, you counter when you observe the enemy doing something. They are smart also. Usually, I have found, it's the squad leader who commands the field. They may or may not have coordination between other squads. When another squad is in sink with the program it's a sight of beauty and deadly results for the enemy!

That's the scoped FG42. Only the sniper role has it.

Hi Go3!

@@SoulSniperYT Hai. :D

You are saying my videos are unhelpful, yet your reasoning is because you can't find the enemy or anticipate what's going to happen next in the game or find an enemy, garrison, etc. How long have you even been playing? Sounds to me like You aren't really willing to Stick it out and improve and learn.

@@SoulSniperYT i play for a month each day few hours and at work i watch Videos and try everything to lern but its not possible.

@@serbe323 it's definitely possible to learn. My channel has helped thousands of people learn the game, and I learned from other channels. It just takes some time, effort, and patience!

Why do you feel that way?
