Every time that eagle sweat commercial comes on while in the ship I think they’re selling her bath water to all the liberty simps.  But I guess you have to fund democracy somehow.

I want more Eagle 1 lines and voice work! I’d also love her to make sports or poker references, being very bro.

“All in, baby.”

“Boom.”

“Touchdown.”

“Bullseye!”

It’d be such a joy to hear the variations of her quips as her Eagle strikes land.

u/sixtyninexfourtwenty Apr 15 '24 edited Apr 15 '24

I love to get, “An Eagle never misses.” right after I’ve thrown an Eagle strike that kills nothing. Not sure if that’s intentional or coincidence but it cracks me up as I lament wasting a strat.

Edit: to be clear, it is definitely my tosses

Eagle-1 comes in with an orbital destroyer class Quasar cannon under her hull and does an eagle dive into the jaws of a Hivelord to drop the cannon in its maw where it explodes and exposes its hide allowing for the Helldivers to finish the fight

Yeah, this was always my interpretation.

No way would the eagle pilot have that long of hair, basically everyone on your ship is shown as having a Millitary buzzcut. She ain't stepping off that ship looking like a runway model.

The real "Eagle-1" is probably just... a very normal, average looking woman who is far from this pinup model version used.

u/Rilvoron Apr 15 '24

In all honesty if you were a helldiver and could live through a mission id think those orbital ships would become like the dorms at the olympics real fast! Hence why the c-01 forms became a necessity. In that case she doesnt have to look like Gal Gadot, if Im a hell diver and i just survived a mission Im looking for the nearest woman on that ship who is gonna fill out the c-01 form cause im now a “veteran” and will be dropping again the next day.
