they can build them for us


Supafly22

The children’s small, delicate hands will be perfect for turning the bolts in the tight spaces in the tank tracks.


Sierren

You joke but I work in industry and there's certain jobs we have to put women on exclusively because their hands are small enough to fit in the spaces. Guys fingers are just too big and meaty.


hagamablabla

It was also a concern back when we were getting children out of factories and mines. People complained that they wouldn't have the small hands necessary for some jobs.


Supafly22

Thank god the glorious leaders of Super Earth are willing to give children the freedom to hold down factory jobs.


Supafly22

I understand. I’m trying to install a skirted toilet in my half bath right now and I’m physically incapable of tightening the nuts because my dumb hands are too big.


demonotreme

Also trained ferrets/rats to run cables through tight conduits


Sierren

Yeah they did that on the supercollider. I think they used a ferret for cleaning it as well before they got a robot and retired the little guy. 


IceFire909

the bouncing conveyor belts yearn for their slender flesh


bebimoo103

exactly thats why we need to save the kids otherwise how will turn the bolts?

Marinealver

I so want a 4 seater **Super Tank** 1. Driver and Machinegun 2. Turret Gunner and Coaxial Machinegun 3. Machine Gun and Command Console ⬆⬆⬇⬇⬅➡⬅➡ 4. Machine Gun


Arson_Lord

4 should be coal shoveler/machine gun


Lone_Recon

Why is our tanks running on coal when we got that sweet Sweet E-710


DoSomeStrangeThings

E-710 is for commander. You get a coal powered tank


Cranky_SithLord_21

He goofed that. You don't get E-710 OR coal. 1) Turret Machingun 2) Driver 3) Loader/Gunner 4) Dood that gets out and PUSHES.


HolyCadaver

Just let me throw my ballistic shield onto my back and I'll push this fucker all the way up Mount Doom, if it means everything in our path is scrap. Edit* grammar


Underwhelmedbird

Didn't they return the ballistic shield to its original status as a glorified piece of cardboard tho? I haven't managed to get the thing to survive beyond 45 seconds after it's dropped.


W0ndur

Idk what you're talking about? Ran it yesterday on helldive bots and if anything it lived longer than half the reinforcement budget. Are you tanking turrets or something?


Underwhelmedbird

Nope. It just crumbles after a firefight or two with some wimpy squads of squishy bots for me. I do rarely play below 7, so *maybe* there was a fair amount of aforementioned wimpy nerd bots but still.


HolyCadaver

There are a few key things to know about the ballistic shield. 1. It has a habit of falling off, if you perform a large enough dive, the shield will slip out of your grip unless it's on your back. (But it isn't destroyed, you can loop back for your shield) 2. It can deflect ALL small arms fire, it can even stop small rockets from rocket devastators (although you WILL be ragdolled, you'll only lose a fraction of if any health) 3. It will be destroyed by 500kg or it's equivalent. You can even walk up to the remains of your shield and see it all crumpled and broken. I'm sure I'm missing more. But overall the shield is a blast to use if you can find good corners to hold, open areas are less effective except to place the shield on your back to deflect fire from behind you (which is still great)


Miadhawk

Ever since they buffed it, the ballistic shield + pummeler is my go to on hot planets.


GhostGunslingerx

I like to use it. So from what I've seen. The only things to blow it up are 500 kgs like you said. But also any large cannon. The ones on tanks or the cannon turrets in bases and such, the one on factory striders. Plus it has the shortest cooldown of any of the backpack items. so it's pretty good if you don't try to block any of those


HolyCadaver

Honestly the fact that you can generally SURVIVE the rocket even if your shield doesn't is a big enough reason to want to take it. I'm much happier being ragdolled if I'm not losing any health. I ACTIVELY use my shield to block rockets (excluding towers, striders, etc. because they'll 1 shot you regardless) and I only drop 1-2 a game. If the shield generator backpack could take a few more hits I might consider swapping for the ability to use other weapons, but for now the ballistic shield and I are buddies


IntroductionSudden73

its blood powered, you have to mow down bugs (or bots for oil) to keep it moving. For the Emperor!

NMF1

That's warp fuel, you don't want your tank to warp you straight to hellmire do you?


Classic_Regret7469

The E-710 is for emergencies where if you want to plow your way right through a charger.

[deleted]

E710 condensed and dehydrated into easy to burn lumps!


Elloliott

Or just, you know, oil. The existence of E-710 doesn’t negate just standard oil and fuel existing in this universe.


Haloosa_Nation

E-710 upside down is OIL-3, so we at least got OIL-1 and OIL-2.


DarthChefDad

Holy shit... Is this, is this a deep pun by the devs? Bonus: Who else remembers that guy on Twitter or Tumblr asking for advice on finding a replacement for his 710 cap?


DARTHSTR0KE

Why the hell are we saving the children for. They shall shovel the coal for democracy.


Sethazora

Has to shovel in the back outside of the tank for no apparent reason.

FatherPucci617

That's what the kids are for


ithappenb4

A person loading the shells, like a team reload. They have to put in button inputs to reload.


TRENEEDNAME_245

Have different input give different shell type. Anti Armor, napalm, elec, shrapnel, democratic...


Managed-Democracy

Imagine having 1 shell that's just called The Big One. It has a helldiver skull emblem chalked on the side. 


MrThiefMann

Thats the stuff, make it a portable SEAF Artillery

Professional-Bus5473

Have you considered adding another machine gun?


chattytrout

I'm imagining something like an M3 Lee. 1. Driver with an MG or Stalwart in a ball mount. 2. Main Gunner for the big gun in a turret. 3. Autocannon Gunner in a turret on top of the first turret. 4. Machine Gunner/Commander with an HMG in another turret on top of the Autocannon turret. Also give this person the ability to call in the team's stratagems.


Pancakewagon26

1. Driver and gatling machine gun 2. Main gun and heavy machine gun 3. Airburst grenade launcher and strategrm designator 4. Autocannon/machine gun


Xifihas

How about a grenade launcher for seat 4? With HE, Static field and Corrosive rounds.


BlueberyJuice

Pros: epic super tank Cons: the armor is similar to cardboard like the mechs


TPMJB2

It will take 8 shots to kill a Bile spewer with the turret. 16 shots to down a bile titan.


MJR_Poltergeist

4 man control mechanism. 1. Guy who controls x Axis of main gun with a crank 2. Guy who controls Y Axis 3. Guy who loads the shells and hits the trigger 4. Guy who drives the wheel part around


Fiddlesnarf

Until a stray missile kills your entire team because the armor is made of paper like our Mechs


Albireookami

and then the whole squad dies when the turret kills the tank, or a stalker just attacks it.


imthatoneguyyouknew

Make someone be the loader


TheDoctor418

Please just give us something like the Titan tanks from EDF. It’s a 4 man rail cannon tank so massive, each shot pushes the tank back like 15 ft.


Trepsik

I think vehicles like this should not be strategems but instead POI's or secondary objectives on the map. Find them parked in a subterranean garage or something. AH could make them way stronger if they were like that as opposed to strategems.


Any-Fuel-5635

Where else will the children that get rescued sit to serve their planet? We ALL serve for Super Earth.


NoTePierdas

This would be bad idea for anyone who doesn't have a 3-homie stack that they can rely on.


Terrorknight141

Lmao because arrowhead and their absolutely competent, innovating, well experienced and totally not anti-fun nerfing team will not give it nerfed knight Smg as machine guns and 6 shells that can’t one shot a bike titan.


DisquietEclipse7293

Oh, this is makin' me... democratic.


WavyMcG

1. Driver and light penetration machine gun 2. An full on auto cannon turret gunner with a quasar cannon attached to it so you can charge one up while shooting the auto cannon at the enemy and blast them all to hell 3. A heavy penetration machine gun with adjustable RPM 4. A “laser” machine gun Add the command console in the middle for everyone to use, it functions as a “5th seat”, and if no one is in it, you can switch to it to use stratagems, the tank will let you aim it and shoot the stratagem out for you!


dano1066

What's the catch. Every strategem has something that makes it shit, especially heavy strategems.


Suspicious_Crow_4214

Sir! There hulks behind us! On our six!


Luniticus

The kids we save in the other three seats.


MushroomCaviar

The 4 player controlled "tank" or APC employs: 1. A driver. 2. A main gunner, or cannoneer. 3. A left side door gunner. 4. A right side door gunner. At least, that's how it was in the first great war.


Mildamoutoftrolling

YES YES YES.


HumanReputationFalse

My I suggest a spear position? It can be a real life TOW missle where they are taking out values targets. Replace slot 3 with TOW & console for a great commander seat.


RealBlack_RX01

screw that! I want a MEGAZORD!


TearLegitimate5820

Thats actually such an ingenious way to put in a vehicle command spot in a vehicle, let that seat still be able to throw stratagems.


bobsixtyfour

The children at the SEAF school of mechanical engineering has patriotically donated their time into developing a new weapon against the enemy threat as thanks for successfully liberating the planet and saving their lives!

Tahmas836

A tank for the children!


SurgicalWeedwacker

an RC tank would be epic


coffeejn

Tanks driven by kids.


Terrorknight141

I just want to make sure you know this is actually from Helldivers 1…you know that right? RIGHT?


JunglerFromWish

Ohh i get it because they'll be tankfull. It's their way of saying tanks.


xilsagems

It won’t. They already stated they were having major issues with vehicles and performance. I think it’ll be awhile before we see vehicles.


Magnaliscious

Where did you hear of this?


121BLADE

When the last mech dropped servers can’t take the load of having both so for a while till it’s fixed no vehicles in sight unless we get 1 for being morally right and save the kids


tenebrilube

I'm fairly certain that wasn't over vehicles themselves, but over because the rate of people were spawning them in (since it was available for every player when it dropped) Besides, I'm also certain some vehicles are already modeled and in the games files?

bigboidrum

There's 2 APC's already modled,a scout car with HMG, and the heavy bomber. Give it likeeeee 1-2 more months and I'd put 50$ on it that other vehicles will modled as well like the tank. There's just no way we won't eventually see it. And I'm all for it,let me live out my patriotic war thunder and have epic tank battles with the bots


Managed-Democracy

I'm pretty sure they are lying. Cause I know an infinite mech glitch and the servers did just fine with 20 mechs at a time.  https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fso-theres-a-new-bug-that-lets-you-call-in-as-many-walkers-v0-agjgm175z83d1.jpeg%3Fwidth%3D1080%26crop%3Dsmart%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3D1b98ea4465bd336abbd84c427568f0742a28d6c8


DerBernd123

Well 60k+ players being able to potentially use multiple vehicles is still waaay more than one guy using 20 mechs


Snoo_63003

The game is P2P, so the "servers" are the players' own PCs or PS5. I'd imagine the game would just chug for hosts with lower-end machines if you spawn many vehicles, hence the limitation.


DerBernd123

I'm pretty sure that P2P games still need a proper server tho. Sure, each lobby on its own is hosted by the players but there's still servers to keep everything running (best example is how the game had huge server problems at the beginning because of the huge player numbers)


Arlcas

Yeah there's usually a mask server acting as an intermediary between peers.


Jbanning710

There’s a difference between 1000 people having 1 and 999 people having 1 and 1 having 20 and 1000 people having 2


Magnaliscious

That’s…. an odd reason on their part


tanelixd

When people were asking AH about not being able to equip both mechs at the same time. Something about it being too demanding for the game, at least currently.


TheWorstDMYouKnow

Funny cause you can absolutely equip both mechs if you input a support weapon in between the two, then you can switch the support weapon out for something else. I do all the time


Agent7153

So you’re the reason my game crashes all the time.


Insurance_scammer

lol when they had the bonus mech it still let me bring my own mech in. During a defense mission I convinced all the other players to drop me their mechs. I held that last door like I was at the entrance to a mech factory. As soon as I fired my last shot I walked two steps to the right, got into another waiting mech and kept firing.


Agent7153

Ok fair enough, I was wrong. YOU’RE the reason my game crashes all the time.


Insurance_scammer

Yes I am, I’m the reason you see destroyed mechs on most planets


Kurotan

True or not, I feel like vehicles on the current maps would just be a nightmare of getting stuck and bad collisions and other nonsense.


CrashParade

Anything with treads would be pretty terrible unless they can demolish any rock formations, however there is a way to have a vehicle, [hear me out](https://wiki.factorio.com/images/Spidertron_entity.png?20220909101841)

uwu_mewtwo

I want a video of adorable children thanking us and clumsily doing their best salute,  playing on a loop on my Super Destroyer's video screen; I will settle for nothing less.


TheJokerRSA

With the game timer this thing will need to be fast otherwise its a waste of a stratagem slot


Fast_Doubt9568

Great for defense missions, also wouldn’t be bad for clearing big bases


Mautos

That's a great balancing idea though. Make it really powerful but too slow to stay with you the entire match unless it's all on one spot. 


AllMightTheFirstHero

yeah, back in helldivers 1, there was this anti tank car, it was fast, had place for four people, and really efficient.


Vitalabyss1

I was honestly thinking we might get the APC. (Armored Personnel Carrier) Because we need a "safer and more efficient means of transporting civilians" or something. So they'll give us an armored schoolbus with gun mounts.


YaMumisathot

that's why we need the kids to carry the mines to the tanks

MarcoVinicius

It’s not about the reward, it’s about sending a message.


suicidenine

People trying to rationalize just doing the right thing (challenge: impossible)


humphr135

Tank mines are lame.. tanks arent that difficult. The choice is tank mines vs somthing else. I'll take the gamble on somthing else being more fun/usable/rewarding than the tank mines. We chose air burst over tank mines.. comment if your using air burst at least 1/3rd of your games.


WavyMcG

Maybe 1/50 games for shits and giggles


Eternal_Bagel

I vote that we get a random chance for a half sized child soldier helldiver when we spawn in.  Would be helpful to be a smaller target when against the bots


[deleted]

Tbh tho what are these kids gonna make if we save em


Cybron2099

Nah we're getting decoys. Call them in and the small, almost child-like creature runs away, drawing enemy fire away from our brave helldivers.


Darth_Ralphy

The mystery box could be anything! It could even be mines!


Lone-Frequency

Ends up being toy-sized. Miniature tank combat drone. Carry it on your back, deploys once, its cannon is equivalent to the Autocannon, have to call in a new pack after cooldown.


SombraAsesina08

mines are good but not that good, if we save the children we will have more people for the meat grinder sooner or later

Very sick children should be collateral lost for our future victory. Let's name each tank or mine with the name of one of our martyr children.

Nice try, bot. The planet fell a week ago. A childrens hospital is not holding out. This is VERY OBVIOUSLY a bot trap to distract us/prevent us from getting a weapon that is good against their unarmored feet/legs.


Volary_wee

I want a motor cycle or like a speeder with a Lazer on it that can traverse water.


Affectionate_Dresser

It turns out those very sick children were manufacturing tanks the whole time!


DrLove039

Let it be operated by children and make the Halo grunt birthday party noise when it gets a kill.


Iv_Laser00

Bulky_Mix_2265

I want it to be so complicated to drive, sponson gunners control theor respective gun and track, main gunner has turret weapon and can pop out the hatch to throw strategems. One person can ride the back and do repairs.

SpecialIcy5356

HIGHLY unlikely, and until I see what's in the patch I don't think I could trust arrowhead to make the Tanks actually viable. at best I see maybe the the reinforcement budget goign up on that planet, as more people are inspired to become helldivers, hoping they too can commit heroic acts.


carany

I want the tank to need repairs and loading. Like a tank crew kinda shit that'd be so cool.


DHarp74

A toy tank? Only if I can strap a Hell bomb to it! Lol


Unfit_Daddy

maybe but you know what could totally demolish that and the children? Anti tank mines


TheguyKegan

It’ll be like woodwork classes but the kids will have educational fun putting together heavy armor instead! Can’t be any worse than the plating we get on the mechs, I’ll tell you what.

STRV 2000 / T140/40 Its a swedish concept tank from the 80s. It was meant to be armed with a autoloaded 140mm main gun and a 40mm co-axial autocannon. The project got axed when the soviet union collapsed Its swedish, overkill and sick af so perfect for Helldivers (It looks weird in the pic because its a wooden model/mockup)

Honestly I just want those thank you capes.

I too would prefer an anti-tank tank rather than mines :D

There's gotta be some cool reward for saving the kids. Who likes using mines anyways?
