Calling helldivers cannon fodder is inaccurate.
Because it implies there's any part of the SEAF that isn't cannon fodder
tall stone
We are Super Earth's elite still, and boy do the non-elite die a lot
Look at all the bodies we find from poor bastards who have to man artillery facilities and the like.
merry cosmos
We are Super Earth's elite still, and boy do the non-elite die a *lot*
Yeah we just share the unique distinction of being the high kde cannon fodder (along with eagle 1 but don't tell her that)
keen zinc
they may take more casualties than us in raw numbers but those could be smaller proportionally to their total manpower
glacial light
SEAFs seem like a living propaganda piece, those that aren't ideal for Helldivers get sent to support, backline, and peacekeeping positions with cushy benefits and return to their civilian lives so they can epouse how well super Earth takes care of their troops
keen zinc
tbh i can see that
glacial light
Also each SEAF soldier doesn't probably have a super destroyer on their beck and call, they have to receive actual training that isn't throw the blinky red sphere at the baddies and don't die
tall stone
Look, our training covers many things.
keen zinc
yeah, they probably have actual training and are deployed with expectation of actually achieving strategic victory
tall stone
Don't die isn't actually one of them.
keen zinc
meanwhile according to the personal info devices we can find
soldiers get paid, get mail delivery, get citizenship upgrades for them and their families, get leave, etc
tall stone
Our contract goes over what our family gets.
We do also get that.
Just good luck living long enough.
glacial light
I think about the 2 skeletons at the beginning of the training course and they died before they could manage to get over a edge
keen zinc
sure many inevitably die as SE utilizes "personnel massing strategies" but mass warfare has its own scaling effect to reduce proportional casualties
you actually lose less men throwing everything at once rather than engaging piecemeal
and the amounts of bodies we find on maps is harrowing, yes, but not horrifying
merry cosmos
Side note. I think there should be somekind of visual for SEAFs battle lines in a planet
keen zinc
yes there are piles of corpses, but those piles are like 10-20 people and not the 100-200 that would make up a single company
glacial light
SEAFs are usually overwhelmed by huge odds according to data deviced
keen zinc
we actually dont find as many corpses as you would think if they threw men at problems like they do us
keen zinc
SEAFs are usually overwhelmed by huge odds according to data deviced
some of them even talking about getting orders to evacuate before the enemy reaches them
which is wild
obviously it wasnt soon enough cuz we find them dead
but hey, they actually get orders to retreat
merry cosmos
I refuse to believe super earth is remotely competent at actual military planing and management.
Infact, I believe they are maliciously incompetent
glacial light
Consider that we basically parachute into the frone lines where the enemy doesn't expect it and get a mission done in 40 minutes before they can gather up forces and they manage to get hundreds of units in that time. Imagine a planned frontal assault from the enemy with their full forces bearing down on a planet with days of reinforcements
keen zinc
based on the corpses we find
rare nymph
obviously it wasnt soon enough cuz we find them dead
It could even be that those dead SEAFs are just the unlucky ones who got ordered to engage in holding actions
keen zinc
i think the SEAF is actually really good at falling back
glacial light
We only come in to retake bloodbaths that no one could reasonably defend against
keen zinc
because we really only find destroyed vehicles and holdout troops
not entire units worth of men and materiel
like, a seaf base will have like, a squad or twos worth of corpses for what was definitely a company or even battalion sized element
glacial light
I refuse to believe super earth is remotely competent at actual military planing...
Itd be fitting for satire for the super Earth government to be both competant and malicious and also incompetent and worthless

got my hands on the airburst launcher on penta - it's solid, but not particularly gamebreaking there. it's unfortunately quite inconsistent against devastators, sometimes it kills them but shield devastators frequently survive from blocking the angle. no dice on hulks without shelling them en masse, you can kill factories if you airburst below them while they're laying devastators but it's risky
feels like a bug shaped weapon, but it can do good work as the first strike vs. a bot outpost. clears most of the initial wave out and predictably massacres trooper clusters
stone bridge
to be fair, it is basically a handheld cluster strike
devs arent the intended targets
alpine seal
could be. i used it with the sickle, might try it with a dedicated anti-medium weapon like the dominator next
predictably the thing will airburst if any mobile entity is within its radius - melee grunts, fellow helldivers, even friendly turrets
at extraction a teammate shot it seconds before pelican arrived and killed all four of us in the blast at once, ending the mission there. we had 11 rare samples. we all just kind of stared in disbelief

is the airburst rocket bugged btw? 1 out of 3 rockets seems to explode immediately after launch, which has caused more than 1 squad wipe

it's probably not bugged, it just has no safe radius for the burst
which is arguably still really bad
covert umbra
yeah but we can't figure out what the actual trigger for the burst is
it's not holding down the trigger, it's not distance from the ground (we tried shooting straight up), it's obviously not the projectile making contact

It sounds funny for slapping fliers but hell for ground situations in Helldivers.
glacial light
Considering all aerial enemies aside dropships are tied to secondary objectives it kind of seems like a gamble to bring a strat that's only good for AA
Airburst is pretty cluster in a tube and does sound fun
Does the mines planet give you free mines as a stratagem?
steady flameBOT
Option 3 would be consistent with a type of shell called a shrapnel shell.
unreal merlin
My only actual suggestion is that the airburst launcher should have an arming delay upon firing so that the proximity fuze isn't active until it gets a short distance away. I think it works fine enough otherwise though needs a good degree of practice and situational awareness/clarity to not have it detonate before you want it to
because I've already had 6+ instances where I try to fire at a patrol but Player 2 is standing 10ft off to my right but 2ft forward and that's enough for them to set off the proximity fuze
steady flameBOT
Yeah that's an issue.
I'd ask if they knew how this kind of fuze worked, but.. It's Super Earth. They don't.
unreal merlin
it's not 100% consistent at "kills everything in this entire area" but
- I don't think it needs to be
- we're also testing it vs bots that have some degree of implicit armor, I anticipate it will fare quite well against masses of unarmored bugs
heady halo
super eath be like "skill issue, soldier"
unreal merlin
just mitigating the implicit self-danger of the thing by setting a 0.250 second arming timer (or however long so that it can travel far enough that you're outside the blast radius) like how the grenade launcher already has to prevent this exact problem is enough to make it usable within the niche it's designed for. currently it's just exceedingly dangerous to use because it will explode directly in front of you if ANYTHING (ally helldiver, enemy raider, it even triggers off of objectives/hellpods including the EXTRACT TERMINAL) happens to be within the rather large proximity fuze radius

a little yes, but I don't entirely disagree with the notion. it's not impossible to use the weapon, but it is being used in a way that isn't optimal because its properties are unintuitive to some people
covert umbra
generally i like all the weapons in the game being insanely unsafe because it fits the mechanical premise and narrative tone of the game, but there's a point where things just end up being more of a liability than an asset
keen zinc
it also isnt very effective as an airburst
unreal merlin
Make 1 and 3 fire modes like safe vs unsafe on the railgun
this is also one of my suggestions, fire modes to switch between like other weapons have. though my initial suggesion was just adjusting the proximity fuze between WIDE and NARROW so you could have it either detonate when it got even remotely close to something OR have it detonate when it almost directly hit something
unreal merlin
generally i like all the weapons in the game being insanely unsafe because it fi...
that's why I advocate for the arming delay, because even if you change nothing else about it adding an arming delay like the grenade launcher already has would make it much less outright suicidal to use when people are around you

it is possible to airburst with a prox fuse, yes, but this requires aiming at a very specific point above your target where their proximity is directly above them

unreal merlin
it could absolutely stand to have some indication of it being a prox fuze
the lack of such is coloring expectations wrong

That is, to be clear, what airburst means
I know, I'm just adding an attempt at humorous strawmanning of people who don't know better
honest acorn
The strawman is correct in this case
covert umbra
i feel like making it work like an actual airburst munition would make it less effective as an anti-air tool
graceful bluff
Also arguably over half the weapons in the game also don't function properly :v
honest acorn
It does work like an airburst munition??
unreal merlin
okay well clearly my offhand comment didn't land as I intended
anyway I stand by that it's mostly in need of a few rather small adjustments
tall stone
It probably works just fine, we're just still on the new weapon learning curve.
unreal merlin
arming delay primarily, and if the devs are feeling frisky maybe tuning its proximity fuze properties so it detonates more intelligently (e.g. "detect enemy, move forward a little more and THEN burst" instead of "IMMEDIATELY EXPLODE WHEN ANYTHING ENTERS THE EDGE RADIUS")
honest acorn
Yeah I haven't actually used it yet but from the sound of it its going too too early to do much damage and likes to blow up in your face in busy situations
I think its vehicle medium
tall stone
OK, so it's an AoE airburst that can also take out tank treads and do damage to Hulk arms.
And get rid of the chin guns on a factory strider.
unreal merlin
I dunno what it is exactly. It does damage and can destroy devastators but it's inconsistent in the distribution of submunitions so you can't rely on it as an anti-heavy weapon like that
but it will at least soften things up
covert umbra
it seems reasonably solid as something you can lob into groups of minor targets, which would make it useful against bugs in theory
unreal merlin
plus you get 6 rockets and can have an ally fast-reload you and dump multiple in succession
yeah that's my other point, that we're testing it against bots with ARMOR when even in the preview it was shown being used against flying Shriekers. I imagine it'll mulch hordes of scavengers and hunters for example.
covert umbra
It does work like an airburst munition??
when i think of an airburst munition i think of specifically distance from the ground, but that's videogame brain i think
or distance above target more broadly
unreal merlin
An air burst or airburst is the detonation of an explosive device such as an anti-personnel artillery shell or a nuclear weapon in the air instead of on contact with the ground or target. The principal military advantage of an air burst over a ground burst is that the energy from the explosion (as well as any shell fragments) is distributed more evenly over a wider area; however, the peak energy is lower at ground zero.
There's your wikipedia definiton, and by that definition yes it is an air burst rocket launcher.
The weird bit is that it's not just an air-burst munition, but a cluster munition that scatters smaller explosives in the area. If it were just "BIG EXPLOSION" it would probably be more consistent in application since the submunitions wouldn't be randomly deviating every time.
honest acorn
Yeah its pretty much just "goes off in the air" and covers anything from killer junior style artillery attacks to (admittedly I've never heard someone say this seriously) antiaircraft missiles
graceful bluff
What I could see being really fun is if you could switch it to manual detonation
honest acorn
That's how I expected it to work tbh
Like fire and hold down the trigger and it detonates when you let go sort of thing

"Sadly, many of our workers who worked on the chemical products for the Airburst rocket died of chemical poisoning. Those damn Bots and their chemical warfare!"
Also, why are we not taking Menkent so we can slam in on Choohe now?
Like, yes, fire tornado planet.
But it's already at over 50% liberated, and we have 22 hours left to fully liberated Choohe

Jesus christ there's so many people fighting Bugs
Why are there so many people fighting bugs
keen zinc
Because they enjoy it
tall stone
We have two planets to get, the MO specifically says which ones. And we have about 100k people off on Oshaune and the like.
keen zinc
They like fighting bugs
tall stone
I like feeling like we're doing things on the Major Order front.
tall stone
I can't even get too mad because the bug players are what saved the defense order
But I can be annoyed.
pastel igloo
it is kind of a bruh moment
anyone still on fucking Hellmire is my enemy though
that shit makes no godsdamn sense
Oshaune is literally a defense target, defend it
tall stone
Fucking 12k peope on Hellmire, yeah.

trying to liberate Hellmire is actually a sisyphean task unless something changes

Let them have their fun, no need to get stressed over a game

But the reason I got Helldivers in the first place is that I enjoyed the hook that there's a cumulative galactic war effort. It's just kinda frustrating to see that get ignored, y'know?

i just got it cause Helldivers 1 was fun

I’m amazed people actually like Hellmire-ing

They don't, it's just that there's only 3 bug planets.

people will do what they will do
i just think it's insane that they throw themselves at a pointless objective that they probably don't even enjoy

glacial light
I mean if they don't like it wouldn't they just find something else to do
I don't blame anyone for playing just bots or just bugs cause it's a big difference in playstyle and can be a big difference in what's fun to them.
To expect someone else to not have fun in a video game when they're not directtly trolling you feels weird to me. Ultimately for a lot of people Helldivers 2 is a source of entertainment
honest acorn
I like hellmire it’s one of the most hardcore planets
tall stone
It is nice for insanity runs.
I think part of what is going on is that the bug players have 3 planets they can go to, and the bot players have 7.
Punished for the Bug players rocking their defenses
To the point of bugs losing territory
What makes this extra funny is that the bots are at 0% right now, so all the spread out people doing non-major planets are just actively driving them up without finishing them.
glacial light
Yea the more planets there are the less focused players get, there's still little to no way for the active community to signal the casual players which planets to go to
tall stone
Even with the major order saying "We need these planets," yeah
glacial light
Not all, but a good amount of casual players who don't look outside the game for content would just see a glowing planet that's "high priority by the community" and just do it
tall stone
Yep, what got referred to as the Helldivers 2 discord community as "The Blob"

Like look at what happened once a Creek MO came out and “take the creek” posting became popular

FORWARD YOU DOGS, THROUGH THE GATES, THE CROWN IS OURS
Meanwhile I sit on a roof with a sniper rifle and kill anyone that walks across a stairway across the map
Man I remember being so pissed about how badly sniper rifle were balanced in early PS2
Ah yes the NC bolt action high damage heavy sniper that needs you to leave scope between shots. Only one shot kills on headshots even on lights. Meanwhile the TR and Vanu one can just double tap you in the chest to kill you.
So it was just worse if you weren't a headshot machine, since follow up shots were so difficult
The mass driver or whatever it was the NC sniper was called was so disappointing for me
naive dragon
Don't remind me

My work has a big hole where we put stuff that can't be recycled
We crush it with machines and cover it and crush it and compact it and cover it and compact it and crush it

What happens to stuff that goes into local landfills, after it gets squished repeatedly? Is it just buried?
keen zinc
In this way we create layers of compacted waste in a large lined hole in the ground
keen zinc
What *happens* to stuff that goes into local landfills, after it gets squished r...
Dig a big hole, line hole with heavy duty non permeable liners, dump trash, push trash, compact trash, bury trash, compact cover, repeat
Design and plan every step of the way to allow for leachate drainage into holding ponds (which are also lined) to keep waste water contained for evaporation
Everything on gradients, cells are filled sectionally so as to be rotating the face of the garbage front for compacting and grading, decks are constructed during good weather to allow dumping in poor weather
Sections of the cell are filled with different things. Construction debris, commercial garbage, public garbage, etc

The operators put stuff where they want it for burying or using as cover for other trash or as material to build out the cell and any necessary decks

It is buried and then tapped for methane wells which are sent to an on-site power plant
Over the course of decades, and current plans see this site continuing operation into the next century
We currently are finishing up with one cell within the decade and plans are going forward for the digging and construction of a new one.
An old cell is also being drilled rn for a well

My facility is a recycling and waste management facility, we have a large recycling yard, green waste area, and the landfill
We try to divert as much recyclables and green waste away from the landfill as we can
glacial light
But also when countries export trash, they usually don't mean like old rotten banana peels and TV dinner trays with food on it. They usually mean plastics cause it's often cheaper for a city to recycle paper and separate compostables then take the expensive to recycle plastic and export it elsewhere
keen zinc
Rn the green waste is usually used as cover and reinforcement/building of the cell, and excess woody material is incinerated in a high temperature air burner to minimize pollution
But there is a law that all green waste must be composted but we don't have a compost facility in our county
We are a poor county
And the state feels fit to dictate these requirements but not provide any support or guidance for fulfilling these requirements
So we're preparing to bite the budget bullet for transloading our green waste to another site for composting and then back, just fulfill the state mandate, despite how inefficient that is and the waste all that trucking back and forth will create

Generally when stuff goes into a landfill, it's because it isn't going to go anywhere else, the landfill is it's effective final resting place
A lot of what y'all think are "dumps" or "landfills" are probably just transfer stations
Where waste is aggregated and compacted, then transfered to other sites
