Hell Let Loose Update Patch Notes (April 30, 2020)

Gameplay

Updated AT gun loader rotation speed to 3x.
Updated many vehicle icons on the tactical map to reflect their historical icons.
Started individuating turret turn speeds based on vehicle – lighter vehicles are now able to turn their turrets more nimbly. This is a balance between the real-life values and the inherent power of the weapon in the game (essentially, most vehicles now turn their turrets faster).
