Tried the new Grenade MG and this thing absolutely replaces the Minigun, and I liked the minigun. I still do, but it's undeniable that the grenade MG is a direct upgrade in almost every way.

I think the Bungee slop developer (i think they was the one) mentality seeping trough AH-s practice. Basically summarized in

"We have to make slop every time because if we make something remotely decent then the players excepting that level of work further down the road and that's unsustainable whhhaaaa cyremoji cryemoji cryemoji "

Maxigun 1000 is pile of technical dept
Its called 1000, why we have only 750 ammo ?
Gun has to be braced by the player and making him immobile yet despite that it has a dogshit recoil and ergo
Due to how corpses handled bullets eaten by the dead bodies.

No, it's because the Maxigun is only medium armor penetrating and because it takes the slot of other anti tank solutions you're heavily gimped on high difficulties by bringing it. That's a problem with how enemy encounters are balanced and how intermittent stratagems are that you can't rely on them like AH likes to pretend we can. The Maxigun actually kicks ass beyond this limitation. It makes quick work of everything it can hurt, and it's a fun gun to use if you're willing to drop the difficulty a notch or two. There's no primary or secondary weapon that can take the place of a recoilless or quasar. At least not one with the ammo to deal with the never ending hordes of hulks, chargers, and more that you'll be contending with constantly.

If you want me to come up with a solution, I'd say add a special slot dedicated to holding an EAT on the right side of your back that can be used while already carrying a support weapon, allowing anyone at any time to carry a complimentary EAT with them and allowing a player to carry 2 EATs if they don't already have a support weapon taking up the first slot. That way you can at least have some reactionary anti tank capability regardless of your loadout.

I can't remember with hulks, but didn't chargers get their legs shot down to medium armor or am I thinking they were AP but now are Heavy?

At the very least if you're fighting squids I don't think they really have Heavy armor? I think you can shoot leviathans in their holes with lighter than heavy too, they're the "overwhelming fire rate, less penetration" enemy because of their shields and overall health pools and numbers in my experience.

Either way having a slot for "disposable support" equipment sounds like a good idea because it can also make way for other stuff like there being other options such as how there are shield grenades, a compromise between those and the call-down dome thats a medium strength option.

The EAT is already "reactionary" especially if you have all the Super Destroyer upgrades that make them drop damn near instantly and regenerate in a minute. The Maxigun tears apart the Bots and you just throw down an EAT near you since you're already going to be planted down in one spot due to the nature of the Maxigun. It's not an issue of the gun, it's an issue of people not understanding how to properly use it or play the fucking game. Hell, with the Illuminate you don't need the EAT since every enemy in their current roster is weak to medium armor pen besides the Leviathan, which I barely encounter anymore. The Maxigun is good, and yeah it has its weaknesses like every other gun, but most importantly it's fun to use.

This is the only part I agree with, mainly because with the new update I swear to God they either increased the fire rate/ammo consumption or lowered the amount of ammo it has because it feels like I'm burning through it much quicker now.

Is it just me or does it feel like the tank is more fragile today than it was yesterday on release? Me and my buddy were playing on Lesath before it got liberated and we both independently came to the conclusion that it feels noticeably weaker than before. The big bot planet now is Chort Bay which is subject to acid rain that I'm pretty sure reduces its armor to being damaged by small arms, but this was before we were playing on that planet. Anyone have any similar experience?
 
In the mind of a redditor, brainwashed unarmed civilians that have zero say in their own lives let alone the lives of others are morally culpable for the actions of the government that actively oppresses them a century before they were born, and are thus perfectly valid targets.

Good thing cyborgs are objectively horrifying transhumanists that are quite literally less than human and should be exterminated if nothing else just for being abominations in the first place.
 
Finally got a good run with the tank in playing with some randos. The guy who brought the tank asked for a driver and we ran that that thing halfway across the map hitting fabricators and cannon towers along the way. Getting a good feel for when to stay in motion and when to hold up and let the gunner line up his shot seems important.
 
Don't know if it was mentioned yet in the thread, but the Tank can be resupplied with carriable items, such as SSSDs and Artillery Shells.
Funny bug or a remnant of testing a possible vehicle resupply Stratagem? Who knows.

Along with that the official Helldivers Xitter account has been taken over by the Bots with a few posts in binary. The Binary translates into Swedish (lol) which are just messages begging for mercy and saying that Super Earth is lying about the war, typical robot bullshit.

I like this one because it just translates to "Think of if the roles were reversed!" with a video parodying the intro video of the game.

I like how it's not even actually reversing the roles, because the intro is about bugs, not bots.

It also inadvertently admits that the bots do actually bust into civilian homes and massacre families.
 
I've been having a good time with this update and fighting the bots. Those missions are less high stakes than the bug ones with the giant rape worm of death last year. Also the game fucking FINALLY runs at a consistent 60+ FPS on my PC. Took Arrowhead a minute but they finally optimized it.

Had some damn fun time with the tank, bit pissed it doesn't have better cannon traversal.

Treat it like it's a cannon on wheels, not a tank. Like it's one of those weird turretless tanks from ww2 - stug, su 76, or even a self-propelled howitzer.

You really just prepare it in a position to fire from afar and go. Its armor is too weak for frontal assaults anyway.
