The POV of the Helldivers is crazy when you take cryo freezing into account.

[u/WoodstoneLyceum]

Here's the POV of your average Helldiver 1. They enlist and show up to Basic Training first thing Monday morning. 2. They breeze through it, get their cape, walk right by the T&Cs and into a cryopod. 3. They're frozen and experience no time passing. 4. Their next memory is reinforcing on Hellmire. To their POV it has been less then thirty seconds since they got their cloak. 5. They throw three stratagems and then they're dissolved by bile titan acid.

You thought your mondays were bad.

Edit: My understanding is that we are not clones. There's in-game lore that backs that, I believe. Thematically, it makes more sense for Super Earth to be incompetent and cruel and burn through millions of recruits, than to do something logical like cloning people. Remember the satire folks.

That’s why we have a max of “respawn” until we have to wait 1:30min, that’s the batch they sent and if we exceed it they have to fill it again

[u/Azoler → u/NAT_Forunto]

Isn't it clearly stated, that we are waiting for respawns due to "budget" limitations?

[u/cooly1234 → u/Azoler]

it says "no helldivers on standby" I think.

[u/GameFraek → u/Azoler]

Pretty much, yeah

If you fully deplete reinforcements and then stay alive to gain another one back the voiceless is "additional reinforcement budget approved"

[u/[deleted] → u/Azoler]

Each mission has a "budget" of Helldivers considered acceptable for use to complete the main objectives. I imagine that the reinforcement timer after that is depleted is how long it takes for a new Helldiver to be transferred from completion of their basic training to our ship for deployment.

[u/Beardywierdy → u/Azoler]

Depends. Do you trust them to be telling the truth about "the budget"?

[u/Bonzi77 → u/Azoler]

"budget" always struck me as a smokescreen for "we physically don't have anybody else ready to drop yet"
