i love going off on my own to collect samples and destroy bases. its incredibly satisfying to solo assault a large base and level that bitch with 5 different call-ins i do keep an eye on my teammates activity to make sure they arent getting overwhelmed tho. Feels great to clear a few bases and then bring hell with me when i unexpectedly come to the aid of my pinned down comrades

What's the best pair of eagle call-ins? I'm using Cluster Bomb right now and it's great but can't hit buildings.

Eagle air strike is like cluster bomb but hits buildings with less strikes per reload.

The worst is when Ole Rambo dies and drops 18 samples in Timbuktu, so yeah fireteams of two seems ideal

I've been using the regular airstrike with the 500 kg bomb (with maxed Eagle upgrades, so I get two 500kg bombs before it needs to rearm) and I've found it to be the most versatile calldowns when paired with a railgun.

Not too bad to hop over a few squares to pick up the lost samples, but yeah, hoofing it across the map in a walk of shame is the worst

It is useful to split up sometimes since the enemies seem to have some limit on how much attention they can give, so if your allies are raising a ruckus somewhere else you can usually get a lot done solo without triggering any alarms.

I like to solo play because i hear the comms from my 3 doofus teammates "bug breach detected! reinforcements incoming! orbital launched! helldivers never die! reinforcements incoming!" and wonder what theyre doing or thinking as they see a string of "nest eradicated\stalker lair destroyed\samples collected\seaf artillery online\radar destroyed" etc as i go be effective before rejoining them

What do SEAF SAM sites do? The voiceover says something similar to when you find a SEAF artillery base, implying that it will actually help you.

The SAM site doesn’t destroy every drop ship before they drop off troops, but they get enough to make a noticeable difference.

Aphrodite posted:What's the best pair of eagle call-ins? I'm using Cluster Bomb right now and it's great but can't hit buildings. Cluster Bomb is great early on but gets less potent as more and more heavily armored enemies show up, but if the rest of your load out is set up for dealing with large armored targets it can be a good way to handle chaff, especially with its high amount of call downs per rearm. Airstrike is probably the most versatile, can deal with both buildings and heavily armored enemies but still has enough spread to make it work vs groups of enemies without killing your whole team Napalm is a solid option for bug missions, call it down on a bug breach after the first wave appears and it'll do a great job holding down the position. Not recommended for bot missions. 110mm Rocket Pods is a good heavy armor piercing option. Excellent for destroying tanks and hulks, good for damaging bile titans, less useful vs chargers since they're so mobile. Excellent take for bot missions, and viable for bug missions if you don't have the orbital laser/railcannon 500kg bombs are your all purpose heavy duty Thing Removers. They are great for destroying bases, especially Automaton ones, and for obliterating tanks and bile titans. One thing to note is that the 500kg stratagem gets substantially better once you get the final hanger upgrade, since 1->2 uses is a bigger deal than 2->3 or 4->5. Strafing Run is the cheapest and weakest of the stratagems, and smoke I guess might be useful for solo stealth stuff? Idk I've literally never seen it used

SAM sites are my favorite secondary. If only because on a high difficulty bot run they change one part of the map from OHGODOHGODOHGOD to manageable

My friend brings smoke on a lotta bot missions and it’s surprisingly helpful. I think? Does seem to give them a hard time and help control the battlefield, especially in situations where you can’t air strike for fear of killing friendlies.

I wish the Strafing Run was better. Either more uses or the ability to put some serious hurt on a charger or Hulk, even if it doesn't completely kill them. I mean, look at these guns. I want BRRRRRRRRRRRRTTT to be satisfying. The Eagle is a freaking Space A-10, don't let it's main gun be so anemic...

A lot of the eagle runs feel anemic because it seems like they just plain don't dump enough booms. Only airstrike seems like it's particularly destructive, even if the other ones do a lot of damage (like cluster bomb).

ScootsMcSkirt posted:doing SEAF artillery solo sounds miserable you can quick carry the shells by spamming use on them you will walk fast while picking up and dropping a shell. Makes it much easier to do solo. I like doing it solo because my teammates did it once and MAYBE it was bad rng on shell generation but they loaded all smoke \ static field so it was useless Gimme dat control
