    The airheads are significant also if you use them properly. You need eyes on the ground to tell you where exactly to put it but a well placed one can turn a game around.

    Actually I did have a bit of a run in with one guy who was solo tanking while I was commander. He’d request a tank and id spawn one for him, then he’d drive straight into the middle of loads of enemies and get blown up in about a minute. He did this 3 times and I then I refused to spawn him another because it was a waste of resources. He starts going mental on the mic and then an admin who was playing squad lead kicked him. The guy was level 125 :confused:

    The air heads are tricky most new commanders put them down right on the point they are going to, the trick is to use it with recon and put it down a click or two out and have squads build outposts.

    Servers like 1AD are great for kicking solo tankers on full servers.

    yeah, a few times 1AD guys got kicked for solo tanking as well - one rules for everyone :)

    I got tired of this after around 150 hours. Needs more content, new maps and load outs etc.

    Maybe if you have a group of mates to play with regularly but none of my mates are PC gamers. You can still find good squads randomly but over time I started to find the randomness of the infantry gameplay really frustrating and I was really only playing tanks or commander.

    In the visual settings you can now select community TAA I think its called and its the same as if you select the *ini graphics tweak.

    Few videos on you tube about it.

    Thread seems to have died so I guess not too many here playing this? It's kind of taken off in the new year and I'm definitely noticing a lot more new players now, still enjoying it immensely.

    I haven’t played the console version so I’ve no idea. But from reading Reddit it seems to run a bit smoother on PC and I don’t think consoles have the same amount of uniforms and load outs. I’ve somehow managed to put 600 hours into this game since I bought it at the start of 2020. Still not bored.

    PC version will always be better in every way, it was built from the ground up on PC more powerful hardware plus mouse & keyboard in a realism shooter is a perfect match.

    I would still 100% play it on console if i didnt have a PC but only with mouse & KB personally.

    Im playing HLL since early beta days on PC it is still my go to shooter.

    Thanks to the lockdowns I've put 700 hours into this, rank 170. I bought it in Jan 2020. I have to say with the massive influx of new players in the past 3 months I've gotten a bit sick of it. The days of hoping on and joining a random squad to find people talking and working together are much rarer now, if the guys I usually play with aren't on steam I mostly don't bother but thankfully there's usually someone on. Still a great game though and the best shooter out now by miles.

    Picked this up recently and really enjoying it. Would like to squad up with a few people that are a bit more tactical and communicative than the usual randomers. James74 on Steam if anybody is interested.
