I'm very spoiled by these devs but I really want a big ol sexy update. Gimme crazy new missions or stratagems or illuminate. I really thought we would get some cool new thing from the whole SEAF mobilization thing. I've put s lot into the game but I've sorta set it down at the moment. Waiting to return to a suite a new stuff, tho bug fixes and balance passes have been constant. Not really a complaint, I've pretty much already gotten my moneys worth. But I know they got exciting stuff planned and it's not out yet. Lots of work for a small team.

500 kg is fine balance wise but it looks huge and isn’t, which ought to be addressed. Everyone’s first time using it they say “huh? it didn’t kill anything” then someone pops up and goes “well actually the hitbox of the blast is a cone pointed upwards”

Squad was trying to blow them up and died a lot cos noone was shooting at the planes for some reason. I took some shots with the rifle and managed a whole lot of hits, which I'm pretty happy about. I wasn't in danger myself, which made it easy, but i couldn't have cleared so many planes with quasar or eat you know what gun can clear even more gunships even faster??

Pause Plop, plop, plop, plop, plop I thought having four autocannons on a team would leave a with a gap against bots, but it really didn't. Everyone just back shotting tanks and turrets, and hulks just got massacred by volleys of shells to the eye. I think three with AC, one with ammo pack & eats is probably ideal.

I didn't call this out in the title but the jukebox guy apparently shot down a dropship with a Railgun? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gki64Fzuyd4&t=4s There wasn't a SAM site on the map and the other two support weapons around were Autocannons which ricochet.

Okay how do I activate an assisted reload? I thought you just had to stand next to them or crouch alongside then and a prompt appears but the button never appears except maybe once in a blue moon.

Arglebargle III posted:The 500 can't kill bts any more? You can but you need to hit with the bomb itself. A Bile Titan has 1500 HP. The 500kg projectile does 1400 dmg and the 500kg explosion does 1200 dmg. It used to be that the explosion could kill a Bile Titan by itself. But now you need a direct hit with tip of the bomb. Another note is 380mm barrage shots cannot one-shot a BT even on a direct hit. The 380mm shots are 450 dmg projectiles that have 1000 dmg explosions. A Bile Titan has 1500 HP. golden bubble fucked around with this message at 19:10 on May 21, 2024 |

Dren posted:500 kg is fine balance wise but it looks huge and isn’t, which ought to be addressed. Yea you can't have a stratagem called "big gently caress off bomb" that drops a big gently caress off bomb with a tantalizing delayed explosion that when it does explode shows a hellbomb sized explosion graphic and then give it an AOE radius thats basically the eagle airstrike bomb (the max damage and first falloff tier are slightly larger). Causes cognitive dissonance and "feels wrong" - so just a mismatch between design intent and implementation. The way it blows up is janky too because it can get "blocked" very easily I think due to the explosion shape or something. Steve Yun posted:Seems dumb that you can’t grab out of the shooter’s backpack to reload them. As it is, assisted reloads are so rare Will probably be a QOL fix at some point, as it does not make sense to not work that way. Jerkface fucked around with this message at 19:14 on May 21, 2024 |

But Helldivers 1 was a one screen top down game. Everyone is always on screen in helldivers 1. It doesn't work in Helldivers 2 when half the team is hidden on the other side of a hill or building, and loner Steve is on the other side of the map trying to solid snake some objectives on the side.

Even then, how often does it make sense to have two guys with autocannons team up so one autocannon can shoot faster? wouldn’t it just make more sense to have both guys shoot their autocannons at it? Like ok, I guess assisted reload gives better sustain in theory, but if whatever you’re shooting can survive 20 autocannon rounds aren’t you hosed anyway?

RR and Spear both get an insane ROF buff if you get team reloaded, AC does too (you can basically fire nonstop since it will reload 5 once you hit 5 or less ammo) but again, pointless unless you can reload off the guys backpack

I can see it being a thing just for quick RR reloads, but its a little clunky for that atm. Id probably just tell my teammate to cover me while I reload instead.

The point is less the speed and more that there wouldn't be any gaps in your fire as you are busy reloading.

If you've got an assisted reloader with the AC, that's when you flip the switch for full-auto mode.

One of the groups I play with gets some mileage out of it. Basically one of our dudes brings the MG and no other backpack, and then picks up a spare backpack as soon as the stratagems are up. In a pinch, he can jump on for assisted reloads, or swap backpacks if the person using the recoilless is low/out of ammo.

i don't think that there's any situation where one autocanon reloading very quickly would be better than two autocanons each shooting. you either kill everything in a few hits or you didn't kill it because you missed the tiny weak point you can actually damage and shooting fast doesn't help in that situation.

That's kind of its only use-case. Using them on groups of enemies-- heavy or otherwise-- is a terrible idea.
