    I've been watching so many SLs walking right by supplies lately and I'm so tired. HLL needs a tutorial that people have to play before they can jump into a game. One that places emphasis on map awareness, controlling the whole sector, and placing spawn points. I haven't been able to play anything other than support/officer lately because not enough people are placing garrisons.

Been in so many matches where my sl is a complete noob and just wants to use the op as his own personal "spawn beacon" (battlefield players) and commanders at rank 10 and do absolutely FA or even talk ffs! Btw I'm rank 87 and still don't feel confident enough to play as commander because I don't want to let the team down. Also getting tired of playing sl and being one of maybe two sl's constantly trying to build garrisons with no support from squad and no other sl's co-ordinating or even communicating, hence my idea of rank locked sl and commander roles.

    I really hope this gets shared widely, it is much more difficult to explain this to a squad in-game. And it's relevant to squads that are generally attacking, too. After capping, those squads that were attacking need to play defense while the team consolidates control, and this is how you do it. You don't throw a party on your new strong point and wait to get wiped by a bombing run. Situations with 1-2 squads (let's be honest, you're lucky to have 1 full squad) on defense are when map control is most critical.

    It's amazing how little people talk about the necessity of patrol squads. Everyone considers being defense to mean you're just sitting on the point waiting for an attack. And everyone conserves logistics to mean you're playing engineer and driving trucks back and forth. But both of these squads can be patrolling while the main assault force is attacking the next point.

My squad and I are always scoring quite high whenever it comes to defense and we always try our best to hold the line, but the moment we ask for another squad or 2 to fall back on us and reinforce, we get zero response. I even got yelled at by another SL to put up a Garry, but we were pinned and couldn't even move without getting killed since we were defending alone.

Telling another squad to abandon whatever their doing would be like them telling you the same. This is why it kills me to hear someone say the COMMANDER should just be riding around throwing supplies. Hello should be coordinating what's happening and you all should be listening to HIM. but that's not what happens it's a game. If you wanna do all that then attack or defend deliberately otherwise why should he stop what he's doing? Why don't you? What don't you break contact?

Dev's need to pull their finger out and make a tutorial.

  • @quinnnye3032
    @quinnnye3032 3 года назад +1

    Promise I don't suck at defending!
    This is a very helpful for people still learning this game. It also shows how much understanding is needed for players to successfully play defense. One part you touch which misleads players is touched on at 11:30. The false zones of control do not properly express areas of control. While I'm not for sectors switching from green to red based on who is in it, Id prefer a pseudo 'fog of war' where zones show up simply as neutral based on certain factors. This would be a step towards dynamic presentation of area control without sacrificing the element of surprise.
    Separately, I believe proper application of good defense is undermined in warfare mode from sector control weighing solely on population numbers. It commonly makes higher population count the priority & so the strongpoint's 3X factor is inevitably relied upon to control a sector. A more drastic example of this is found in Planetside 2. While boasting massive continents, most fights happen at bases while contesting for a point. Defending regularly means players redeploy to outpop the opponent, so frequently PS2 gets appropriately nicknamed 'Reployside'. Much of the terrain goes ignored, with the devs having struggled to find ways to amend it.
    That shared, I would like to see a Meta where sector control is based upon multiple factors and so offset some of the strongpoints importance. This would in turn allow players focus outwards from the strong point for sector control.

    Let's also talk about the balancing act! I'm seeing this alot, where the entire team wants to just sit on a point and defend, while no one makes a push on the next point, this fails because it allows the enemy team to eventually surround the point, and push your team back! At all times you need at a minimum a squad or two putting pressure on the next objective that way it doesn't allow the entire enemy team to push your defending point! It's a balance though, you can't have too many take up offense and not leave enough to defend. People have to remember you have to keep pressure on the other team, that way they can't push all their guys to attack your defending point.

    • @politik7688
      @politik7688 3 года назад +1

      I agree the team can't sit on passive defense. But if defense is viewed as controlling the squares around the obj to get map control, then that is what actually makes it possible to attack the next obj on multiple flanks. One attacking squad can take a long flanking route to start to put pressure on, completely agree. But the rest of the team needs to be able to attack more directly. Otherwise you get attacks that are too slow because the flanking route is too long, and your defending squads can't hold on that long.

    Defense/offense... I feel like it’s really kind of a moot point. squads with no officers. no commanders. no supports, no engineers, no medics. and no point being those classes with no command. You go assault, auto, machine gun, or ant and try to shoot people. You will occasionally find a game/squad with an active command structure. So you either server and squad hop till you find one, or you run around like a dingus just doing very solo benefit stuff.

      Same goes for map awareness. On carentan as the Germans, your main base has two access points (bridges) from the city. When I was defending SL I checked the map and ordered my squad to defend the least occupied bridge. Counting on all the other SL's that were at the other bridge to defend theirs. 5 minutes later we held ours. I checked the map, all the SL's had gone into town and left the bridge to be easily taken. We lost within 2 minutes. We lost the best bottleneck because some peeps can't be bothered to read a map.

Ofter I have to fall back to team text chat so players can move to such needed roles. I often have to do them myself, go to second line capture points and build garrys with the logi truck, usually saving us from a major pushes.

    @MrSilvara3 2 года назад

    1:20 Response: Anyone who is tactical minded and not a "gunner" can clearly see what's wrong and honestly i am not surprised at this point but i give my take anyway
    1. they all at the circle/strong-point, which is bad. this game is not TF2 or Call of duty, you don't need to be inside of the strong-point to capture the objective. How capturing works is that if you are in 2x2 sector of the objective, you are contesting the objective, Being inside the circle also known as "Strong-point" triples your capture "Weight" but it's not mandatory. it's easier to defend when you had one or two squads on strong-point and the rest be on the front lines and flanks of the objective. By doing so you reduce your chances of encirclement substantially and make defending easier.
    2. With everyone being inside the circle, A serious team or really any competent team worth their salt can surround the strong-point which leads to "Shooting fish in a barrel" situation were the enemy can put pressure from all sides and there's nothing that the team can do which then leads to capture.
    3. There is only one garrison that the team can spawn that wants to defend Sunken Bridge, there is another garrison but it's to far up and it has enemy nearby, make it very dangerous to spawn. as key rule of thumb, you should never spawn in garrison/outpost that has the "enemy nearby" warning unless you had to and outpost/garrison should be far back enough that it's safe when the enemy push on you. I wonder if they had just placed the garrison there, if so then they seriously lacked "tactical awareness" and should never be trusted with commander/Squad leader ever until properly educated.
    4. Which clearly they are lacking tactical awareness because they placed resource nodes INSIDE THE GODDAMN STRONG-POINT. for those who don't know, resource nodes can be built by only engineers and there are three types: manpower (i nearly put "Mannpower instead because so much hours in tf2), Munition, and Fuel. These contributed to each Resource type "Pool" which commander can use to tip the battle in their favor. The issue of placing these inside the strong-point is that it's gonna get destroyed by the enemy as soon as they have a foothold in your strong-point, which ended up being a waste a time.
    I think i can go on about this but i decided to stop here, This poor defense is reducing my brain cells and i do not want this to get too long.

    I'm a beginner, but after this I feel like a need to place some garrisons, since my SL never seem to. I really do like the idea of a more dynamic front line, even if it has a default straight line and the commander has to manual shade in areas with enemy presence.

    Maybe it's not good for the gameplay, but it is even more realistic somehow when everything is a bit chaotic and tactics that you thing should work 100% are done wrong and fail huge. Don't know why I like a good chaotic fight, I bet 99% of the more hardcore gamer don't agree with me but it's the chaos of war which I enjoy when it comes to hll

    One time, I got scolded for putting up the one and only defensive garrison directly on the point. “You’re not supposed to put it on the point!”, they said. Too bad there were no supplies anywhere else in the entire sector. Talked to my squad and asked for a Support player to drop supplies; no response. Command wouldn’t drop them either. Several times I tried to drive a supply truck up from HQ and got wrecked by enemy armor, while our tanks sat in HQ, unused. So, while I agree with everything Mono says here and definitely appreciate his attempts to educate the player base about the game, so far I don’t see that translating in to better players. Most matches I just run around trying to stop the inevitable disaster unfolding before my eyes, like the proverbial Dutch boy plugging holes in the dam with his fingers.

    One of the reasons defending squads don't install garrisons is because no one wants to be support. Especially on the side of the axis. You have to wait for the players to mature before they realize how much they can contribute to the game from the support role. Even if they can't kill anyone ...

    The only problem is, nobody wants to defend or build garrisons, because they don't find it fun. Even when you tell people "Hey, we are loosing the point, we need backup", nobody gives a crap. Most people want to pew-pew.

    Any squad leader with a support player in their squad should almost immediately do their part by putting up defense garrisons or at least early in the game. Also people should try and use roles that will help the whole team like engineers and support. Having 5 rifleman and a squad leader is honestly a huge wasted opportunity

    The core of the issue is quite obvious. Being SL is a job not everyone likes. I often see like 10-15+ people just siting in lobby, waiting for someone to create new squad. No one wants to. And so someone just create new one just to be able to play. Also being an effective SL may be the most boning job even - running around setting Garrisons, especially if other SL don't do it or are just far away from frontline doing some maneuvering etc.
    What about your squad? It's difficult to run around setting Garrisons and commanding other people at the same time. Also, not being with your squad prevent SL from setting up new Outposts and supporting them.
    Overall it seems like SL have just too many thing to do and too few people want to bother with it. Maybe increase squad size, or move some SL jobs to other roles in squad?

    • @buckson
      @buckson 5 месяцев назад

      Wouldn't be boring if people actually did it. You don't need a million garrisons. That just reinforces the stupidity that you're talking about. You have ops as well. The Garry's should not be near the obj. Your OPs should and at most 150 or so meters away. They also should be creating a attack with the other SL. The fact you run over and over into the blender is like what are you slow? Doing this is all luck. A deciplined team will deflect and attack this everytim no problem

    But apparently the name of the town was originally St Marie. Here's what the wiki says as of right now:
    Founded in the eleventh century, the earliest records (1080-1082) include the name Sancte Marie Ecclesia, Latin for "Church of St. Mary", while a later document written in Norman-French (1317) mentions Saincte Mariglise. The current French form of the name is ambiguous, with the additional meaning, "Holy Mother Church".

Commanders also need to figure out that not every garrison needs to be in the hard point when defending. you're just creating a kill-box and letting the enemy farm your team.

    • @monoespacial

      Maps are always 6 squares across. In this case, rows 1-2 are outside the playable area, so the cap sectors are going to be 3-4, 5-6 and 7-8. Basically, you start at the edge o the map and count in 2s. Since Western approach is on row 5, it's going to be capped by rows 5-6.
