This is combat at a whole new scale, with lumbering tanks dominating the battlefield and crucial supply chains fuelling the frontlines, and individual players are key cogs in the machine of colossal combined arms warfare.
Hell Let Loose puts players into the chaos of war, complete with deep player-controlled vehicles, a dynamically evolving front line, and crucial unit-focused gameplay that commands the tide of battle.

These allow for emergent and unique gameplay that pits the two forces into a fight to the death across fields, bridges, forests, and towns on an ever-evolving front line. When a sector is captured, resources are generated for your team, creating a complex metagame that will influence a team’s march to victory.

Fight together – win together
Hell Let Loose is not about any single soldier’s performance — teamwork is central to gameplay. Communication is essential. Players work together beneath the leadership of officers and their Commander to take strategic targets on the battlefield and dominate the opposition. Hell Let Loose is a game that demands teamwork and communication not only to win, but to survive.
Unique meta game
Fight for victory by breaking through the enemy lines on a large, evolving battlefield. The unique sector capture metagame requires teams to make continual large scale tactical decisions as to how to attack or defend through managing resources and supplies to call in support, bombing runs, new vehicles, strafing runs, and to reinforce strong-points or flank enemies. Strategy is key to success.
![Artillery
Alright soldier, is getting in the thick of the action too much excitement for you? Do you still want to support your brothers in arms while also taking it to the enemy? Then head to your center HQ and report to the artillery battery.
A team’s artillery is a great support tool to use against a variety of targets with varying effectiveness. Artillery is well suited for destroying infantry and trucks. Garrisons and Ops are note destroyed by artillery but do provide target rich environments. While it’s able to deal damage to armored vehicles, there are better suited roles and weapons to respond to tanks.
Each gun can support a crew of 2:
Gunner L1 : Responsible for aiming and firing. [Right Stick side to side] traverse the barrel left and right while [Right Stick Up and Down] adjust distance. Press R2 to fire.
Shells take 24 seconds to Land: hits will be indicated with an auditory cue.
Loader L1: Loads gun and can also pivot the gun beyond the gunner’s limits. Loading shells [Square] pulls munitions from the team’s munition pool. So, get those nodes up.
HE= 3 Munitions Smoke = 5 Munitions
To change shell types, press [Circle]. Moving [Left Stick] turns the gun.
Operations
Aim at map markers by lining them up in the center of the gunner’s sight and use the distance to the marker in order to range the gun. Linear distance needs to be converted to mils either through use of provided chart or 3rd party calculator.
Whiles running artillery, it is important to be communicating with your team. Not only can you coordinate targets and precision strikes, but communication limits resource waste and friendly fire accidents.
