* RareGuns:
** The Gewehr 43 is notable in that it's only available for a handful of German infantry classes, reflecting it's real world rarity compared to the Karabiner 98k.
** Update 11 adds the FG 42 rifle for the German Automatic Rifleman and Sniper classes. To reflect it's rarity, it has to be unlocked for both classes in order to be used.

Compare with ''VideoGame/DayOfInfamy'', another TacticalShooter set during [=WWII=] in Europe.

* ShootTheMedicFirst: Due to the medic class' abilities of lowering the effectiveness of enemy suppression and reviving teammates, killing them deals a potentially huge blow to enemy attacks and defenses. Shooting an enemy medic while they're attempting to revive enemies will even new an achievement called "Breaking the Geneva Convention".

** Bunkers, which are impervious to tank shells, small arms fire, strafing runs, and can even protect against artillery strikes and bombing runs, though the latter to a lesser degree. Compared to other defenses, though, building and upgrading one requires far more supplies, not to mention its large size requiring a significant amount of flat terrain to build on. And finally, some bunkers, particularly the German one, don't allow machine guns to be deployed inside of it once fully upgraded.

* AwesomeButImpractical: Anti-tank guns. While they have much better stopping power and range than man portable anti-tank rocket launchers or anti-tank rifles, they require about 50 resources and someone with a hammer to place down. What's more, they cannot be towed around once set up, and have a limited traverse. In short, they're only really useful for defending capture points against tanks and groups of infantry.

* GlassCannon: The [=M4A1=] Sherman Medium Tank. Not as fast as the Stuart, but it's 76mm tank gun has the power to penetrate the armor of even the Tiger I Heavy tank. However, its armor is much thinner by contrast.

* SniperRifle: The WeaponOfChoice for the Sniper class, obviously. For the Americans, they get the [=M1903A4=] Springfield, the Germans get a scoped Karabiner 98k, and the Soviets get the scoped Mosin-Nagant [=M1891/30=] and the scoped SVT-40.

** Garrison Spawns can be established by the Spotter, Officer, or Commander and are usually placed nearer to the frontlines, and as a result can be overrun and destroyed by the enemy. These points allow any infantry soldier to respawn here regardless of unit, in exchange for a longer respawn wait time.

** Outpost Spawns can be established by either the Spotter or Officer classes. These allow any of the aforementioned member's squadmates (and only their squadmates) to spawn in rather quickly. Like Garrison Spawns, however, they can be destroyed and overrun by enemy troops.

* ShortRangeShotgun: Averted with the [=M1897=] Trench Gun, which has a reasonable effective stopping power of up to mid-range.

''Hell Let Loose'' is a [[TacticalShooter tactical]] FirstPersonShooter developed by Australian Studio Black Matter and published by Creator/Team17.

* LightningBruiser: The Panther Medium Tank. Compared to its rival, the Sherman, it can take far more damage, while also boasting a high velocity 75mm tank that has far more potency than the 76mm used on the American tank. In addition, for a tank of its size, its surprisingly fast.

Set during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII's WorldWarII/WarInEuropeAndAfrica, the game offers 100 player matches on large, sprawling maps. Currently, maps are set in France, Belgium, Germany, and the Soviet Union, with the current factions being the United States, Nazi Germany, and the Soviet Union. The current development roadmap has announced the eventual inclusion of British Forces, weapons, and vehicles for the near future.

* TankGoodness: Tanks are available for both the Allied and Axis factions, and in the right hands they can absolutely devastate entire squads of infantry with their machine guns and main armament.
* TrappedBehindEnemyLines: The Recon classes, by default, are meant to operate deep within enemy territory, doing things such as sabotaging enemy garrisons, planting anti-personnel mines, and killing enemy officers and other important personnel. The Spotter is also the only class that can set up an Outpost Spawn deep within enemy territory, behind their frontline.
