With Update 18, Hell Let Loose delivers a major overhaul for the Stalingrad map and begins the armor overhaul to further develop the tactical feel of the game.

What's new? The highlights of Update 18

  • Stalingrad refresh: The map has been reworked - better lines of sight, new cover options and modified building structures provide more strategic depth.

  • Armor Rework (first phase): Armor reacts differently to hits, offers more tactical balance and should make the combat system more balanced. hellletloose.com

  • Physics for armor in collisions: Hits on obstacles such as walls or buildings look more realistic - tanks no longer block abruptly.

  • Other mechanics & improvements: various new gameplay elements, adjustments to mechanics and performance fixes.

What you should keep in mind

  • If you play Stalingrad often, you will notice noticeable differences in paths and cover - adjust your tactics accordingly.

  • Armor choice becomes more strategic: Some armor types may perform better or worse in certain situations.

  • Be prepared for new combat decompositions - the interplay between terrain and gear changes.

Conclusion

Update 18 brings a noticeable change to Hell Let Loose. The Stalingrad refresh and the first phase of the Armor Rework show that the team wants to balance the game in the long term. For you, this means a fresher experience with more strategic decisions.
