Animation Optimisation - Bones Rework
Amongst the quality of life updates we are implementing to U13 we have included the first iteration of an animation optimisation improvement. This is done through a rework of the animation bones used in the player models.
The purpose of the animation optimisation is to improve the look and feel of the animations, whilst optimising the performance of the third-person skeleton.
First, we optimised the TPP skeleton by removing excess bones which reduces draw calls and improves performance. This involved removing about 20 bones on the skeleton. This reduces calls by more than 2000 per frame to help boost fps. Next we added twist bone constraints and re-skinned all the skeletal meshes for more accurate bone placement. This improves fidelity of mesh deformation and makes for smoother animation visuals. Arms and legs bend cleaner and animations appear smoother and more natural.
Helmet Pack - Skull Bucket
With the release of Update 13 we are also rolling out a new DLC cosmetics pack for players to purchase and enjoy. With the adept name of ‘Skull Bucket’, this DLC pack will feature 2 unique helmets for each faction of US, Germany and Soviet forces. The helmets include the following:
US - 101st Airborne 506th PIR Paratrooper M1
US - 29th Infantry Division M1
Germany - Paratrooper M38 Fallschirmjäger Helmet
Germany - M35 Double Decal Police Helmet
Soviet - 1941 Model Blockaded Leningrad Helmet
Soviet - M36 Budenovka Winter Cap
Let's take a look at how these helmets look with some detailed renders by our character artist.

Well, it's time to free up some SSD space for U13 and wrap up today's Dev Brief.
See you all on the frontline!
Hey everyone,
Last week we caught a glimpse of the new winter map, Kharkov, and the first iteration on the base for our future winter uniforms. With just enough time to take a quick breath, the programmers and artists have been able to share some more on the content for our next update.
In today’s brief, we’re heating things up with flamethrowers for the US and Axis, Molotovs for the Soviets, jeeps for all factions and a peek at the new cosmetic loadout preset options. Let's take a look at these latest items, starting with Flames and Fastmovers!
Flamethrowers
Feeling the chill on the frontline? Here’s something you can warm up to!
The team are excited for the addition of Flamethrowers and Molotovs for use on the frontlines, which will surely bring out some great action and visuals to the fields of combat.
WIP of the Flammenwerfer41 Being put to work
The flamethrowers are brutal pieces of equipment that will make short work of infantry in close quarters action.
The flamethrowers will not only set troops, but also the surrounding area alight. Due to its power the flamethrowers can only be used in a brace fire stance. These flame-dealing units will allow the user to wield their stream of flames for approximately 20 seconds of sustained fire until it needs to be replenished with fuel.
Not only if you are directly hit by the flamethrower, burning items around its path will also inflict damage to the unwary. The area of effect that is burning will be a big discouragement for any troops who dare to walk in the path of any area alight with flames as it will cause damage. If you like the sound of a flamethrower in your kit and want to ‘get your burn on’, then you will have to work for it!. Initially, with the implementation of flamethrowers, only the US and German Support role at level 10 will be able to equip this sizzling piece of equipment.
There will be two models of the flamethrower. Let's take a look at them together below:
WIP pictures of the Flamethrowers. The left unit is a US: M2-2 Flamethrower. The right unit is a German: Flammenwerfer41
Close quarters combat will become even more brutal, as this US soldier using a M2-2 Flamethrower demonstrates.
This Axis soldier is ensuring the building is clear with the Flammenwerfer41
Trench warfare will take on a whole new meaning with Flamethrowers deployed at the front.
Molotovs
A handy item about the size of a grenade and throwable at your enemy, Molotovs were a cheap and popular item of use during most battles on the frontlines. Soviets will have greater access to this weapon compared to the US/Axis’ fiery flamethrower counterpart, with Molotovs being available to the Soviet Support role at level 6 and the Assault at level 9.
Although shorter than a flamethrower in its duration, the Molotov, when used correctly, will have your foes running in fear. A single direct hit on enemy troops will easily add to the throwers kill count alongside setting the immediate area alight. Like flamethrowers, if unwary troops stand on burning ground they will receive a nasty bite of fire damage for their troubles.
Molotovs were a cheap and popular item of use during most battles on the frontlines.
WIP - Soviet Troop hurling Molotovs into a trench.
Crispy Critters
To complement the fire breathing flamethrower and pocket paraffin Molotovs, we have also introduced an initial implementation of new uniform texturing to reflect characters being hit by these weapons.
A WIP picture of a charred Axis soldier pondering his next move.
Ground environments, vehicles, and even bodies will burn for a time after being hit with flame weapons.
Vehicles: Including Willys Jeep, Kubelwagen and Gaz-67
We are also pleased to showcase these new vehicles, especially the Jeeps! As our backers and veterans will know, jeeps were one of the first vehicles we had shown. We never intended on taking this long to introduce them to the game, however, we are now happy to announce their much anticipated inclusion.
Each faction will now have a jeep option; the US with the Willys, Axis with the Kubelwagen and the Soviets with the Gaz-67 to round out this trio.
Kubelwagen
Gaz-67
Willys Jeep
Traverse the wintry terrain.
Being small and nimble will be the biggest asset for jeeps.
Not only as a mode of transport, the jeeps will also offer a limited ammunition resupply for troops on the ground. This is done by the driver of the jeep (when parked) and selecting to deploy ammo, in a similar way that a truck drops supplies. These vehicles can drop 2 ammo boxes before requiring a ‘return to base’ re-supply. The ammo box functions similar to the ammo crates dropped by the Commander although they come in smaller quantities allowing for only 6 resupplies.
Being able to quickly drop their supply then move off is a major benefit for jeeps deploying ammo.
Loadout presets
With the addition of a new snow map we thought that now would be a great time to allow players the ability to set cosmetic presets. Now when accessing the loadout screen players will be greeted with a “Preset #1” and “Preset #2” option below the Appearance tab. Switching between presets will remember your last configured cosmetics for that preset, allowing players for example to create a preset wearing snow camouflage that they can easily switch to when moving from a lush green environment to a snowy one.
PTE For Update 13 Next Week!
With progress coming along nicely, we’re excited to announce the beginning of PTE testing for Update 13, with the first session kicking off next week. We will endeavour to message early in the week as to the exact date and time of the PTE.
As always, we greatly appreciate all who participate, whether it’s to provide valuable feedback and bug reports, or simply help out with the numbers to test server loads and other items. We’ll also be jumping into battle amongst the ranks on the day, so if you have the time or are just curious, we would love to hear from you!
If this is your first time wanting to participate in a PTE, you’ll need to head over to the Discord where you can find information on how to join and get notifications on when a testing period is live. A full changelog can be viewed in the HLL official discord in the #pte-Info channel on the day.
A quick reminder of what’s included:
New Map Kharkov
Winter Base Uniforms for all factions
Flamethrowers
Molotovs
Fastmovers - Willys Jeep, Kubelwagen and Gaz-67
Soviet T-70 Light Tank
Appearance loadout option for uniforms

Well, it's time to hop into our jeep and speed away to wrap up today's Dev Brief.
See you all on the frontline!
Hey Everyone,
The team is still hard at work on all sides, with both update 13 and the Commonwealth update, making some great progress.
In today's brief, we look at keeping your cool on the frontline in U13 as we take a deep dive into the frosty fields of the new snow map Kharkov and Winter Uniforms to suit. We are also pleased to announce some exciting changes to the existing Winter Warfare Free DLC pack. Without further ado, let's dig in.
New Map: Kharkov (Winter)
As mentioned above, we have been working hard on the new winter map Kharkov. This map is polishing up great and we are excited to implement another snow map into the game.
Kharkov combines a hybrid of the armour oriented gameplay of Kursk, featuring wide open fields, hills and Stalingrad’s industrial gameplay; including railroads, bridges and Soviet urbanization complimented with deeper valleys, foliage and marshlands all set in a deep winter environment to make this map a unique experience. We feel players will relish the varieties of combat that this new frontline will offer. Let's take a quick glance at a brief slice of the history of Kharkov in WW2.
The First of four major Battles of Kharkov were fought as part of the final phase of Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of the USSR, which had started on 22 June, 1941. During that battle, the German Sixth Army took the important city where the legendary Soviet T-34 tank had been designed and built. Although, it was discovered that most of Kharkov’s industrial plant had been moved before the city fell. Many more bloody battles raged over this area until, finally, after the successful defense at Kursk, the Soviet forces were able to push out Axis troops for the last time.
Set in winter, the Kharkov map should be a welcome addition to the frontline of Hell Let Loose for U13. Let's take a look at some locations on this map.
Lighting fires in the street is a great way for soldiers to stay warm on the frontlines.
Kharkov will definitely have a very cold feeling to it.
Farmhouses can be a great means of cover, dashing between each one during a firefight will get your blood pumping.
With open fields, treelines, fences, housing and even a railway line, there will be plenty of places for troops and vehicles alike to be moving.
Ruined buildings will make great places to hide from the enemy.
Winter Base Uniforms (All Factions)
With the implementation of more snow maps in Hell Let Loose, we feel it is time that players have a chance to get the appropriate winter uniforms. For U13 there will be a new array of base winter uniforms and helmets to complement the addition of more snow filled maps. These new uniforms are a new standard addition to the game, and will appear in your barracks after the update is live. The uniforms will include the following:
US - M1943 Winter Uniform with M1 Winter Helmet
Germany - Heer SchneetarnJacke Winter Smok with M42 Winter Helmet
Soviet - Ameba Winter Uniform with SSH-40 Winter Helmet
Revamped Winter Warfare DLC
With the addition of Kharkov as a winter map, and new base winter uniforms. We are pleased to announce that the team has undertaken a revamp of the existing ‘Winter Warfare’ Free DLC pack. The revamp will see the removal of the two existing helmets and the inclusion of three new helmets. The existing helmets, which were the white M1 and white M42 from the old Winter Warfare pack; will go into the base uniform selection and be available to all players.
The new helmets for the updated Winter Warfare Free DLC bundle will include:
Covered M1 Winter Helmet
M38 Fallschirmjäger Winter Helmet
SSH-40 Covered Winter Helmet
If you already have the Winter Warfare Free DLC pack, these three new helmets will automatically appear in your barracks to use when the ‘new’ Winter Warfare Free DLC bundle goes live.
Likewise, if you do not already have the Winter Warfare Free DLC pack, keep an eye on our socials and the Steam store, for it will be appearing as a limited time seasonal offer.
Silver Vanguard DLC M42 Helmet inclusion update
Since our announcement of the inclusion of the M42 helmet with goggles to the Silver Vanguard (PC) DLC, we have noticed some people having issues obtaining this new addition. If you cannot see the helmet in your barracks and have the Silver Vanguard DLC on PC, you will need to do the following:
In the Steam Library, Right-Click the game and choose Properties.
Choose DLC at the bottom of the list
Check the box in the Install column next to the M42 with Motorcycle Goggles DLC
