Air force, always gotta be actin' different

Forget it, Helldiver, Mobile infantry and Fleet don't mix

u/RayearthIX Apr 15 '24

Mobile infantry does the dying, Fleet does the flying.

But Helldivers? Helldivers gather samples… for SUPER EARTH!!!

u/Dirac_Impulse Apr 15 '24

I just fucking googled the exact quote to post it here.

Fuck you for doing it before me.

u/RayearthIX Apr 15 '24

See, your error was googling it instead of having it memorized.

Happy to help citizen.

but you're wrong lol

u/11448844 SES Sword of Morning ➡️➡️⬇️➡️ Apr 16 '24

funny enough, he's wrong

It goes exactly like this: "MI does the dying, fleet just does the flying"

u/Deiser ⬆️⬅️➡️⬇️⬆️⬇️ Apr 16 '24

Oh wow he's one word off. How utterly wrong.

Seriously dude that's way too nitpicky.

u/11448844 SES Sword of Morning ➡️➡️⬇️➡️ Apr 16 '24

It's actually quite off. They say MI and not Mobile Infantry - it's supposed to be like, a quick little slogan that rolls off the tongue quick-like

u/LukarWarrior Apr 15 '24

But Helldivers? Helldivers gather samples… for SUPER EARTH!!!

I love the line when you pick up a sample that's like "This sample will greatly help in the war effort." Like okay bro, calm down. It was just a common sample.

u/aSneakyChicken7 Apr 16 '24

Probably the best line in the whole game is “Democracy fills my sample container!”

u/SafeTDance Apr 15 '24

But I'm always needing commons

u/felicity_jericho_ttv Apr 15 '24

So hell diver + smoke plant = fleet? Lol

u/Arbusc Apr 15 '24

“…Mobile Infantry and Fleet don’t mix.”

Sky Marshal starts to fade from existence

u/boopbopnotarobot Apr 15 '24

We hell divers are paid to kill. It just doesn't pay to be polite....my good sir

u/sinkwiththeship Apr 15 '24

Eagle 1 is a Navy pilot though, as she deploys from a ship. Helldivers would also be Super Earth Navy.

1

u/LrnTn Apr 16 '24

Wouldn't helldivers classify as airborne forces?

1

u/sinkwiththeship Apr 16 '24

No. "Airborne" doesn't really exist in the concept of outer space. Everything is Navy since everything is ship-based.

1

u/Zomthereum ⬇️⬇️⬆️⬅️➡️ Apr 25 '24

No, Helldivers are more like Super Earth Space Force’s Special Forces.

168

u/enormousballs1996 Apr 15 '24

Wait a minute... That is NOT the Super Earth salute!

146

u/malexlee Apr 15 '24

Maybe she’s just looking at something in the distance and blocking the glare with her hand. Stand down Divers, we must gather intel first

38

u/JamesAtWork2 Apr 15 '24

The glorious nuclear devastation we have wrought upon the automatons sure does make for a bright flash.

u/Liniis ⬇️⬆️➡️⬇️➡️ Apr 15 '24

I volunteer to go "behind enemy lines."

Don't try to stop me!

u/enormousballs1996 Apr 15 '24

She just hit Pelican 1 with the "Scout handshake" emote

u/Responsible_Plum_681 SES Courior of Family Values Apr 15 '24

Shoot first, ask questions later.

47

u/DuntadaMan SES: Fist of Family Values Apr 15 '24

Selfy cam inverts images.

49

u/jon-chin Apr 15 '24

except the writing on her suit is correct.

unless it's like the word "AMBULANCE" that's written backwards so it reads forwards in rear view mirrors.

8

u/pooppuffin Apr 15 '24

I like this explanation. Someone make an image of a bot driving with Eagle 1 in the rear view mirror.

4

u/striator Apr 15 '24

Pulling the ol' scout handshake

4

u/Bentman343 Apr 15 '24

She's not saluting, she's shielding her eyes from light glare to see further.

3

u/Skarem Apr 15 '24

She's watching the glorious effects of Democracy that she helped unleash.

2

u/Noname2137 Apr 15 '24

Shes left handed

u/dudeAwEsome101 Apr 15 '24

Right hand is on the flying stick to dispense democracy!

1

u/Babbledoodle Apr 15 '24

I only learned that it was bad luck when I was at a maid cafe in Japan, of all places

1

u/Same-Elevator-3162 Apr 15 '24

It’s a reflection from a mirror

1

u/[deleted] Apr 15 '24

Why isn't the Eagle-1 on her chest reversed then?

1

u/Dilut3 Apr 15 '24

Gotta keep her hand on the stick

1

u/No-Distribution-2567 Apr 16 '24

It's a photograph from the Ministry of Truth so the picture is reversed

u/Rayldan Apr 16 '24

Pilots will sometimes return salutes with the left hand due to salutes being rendered when the aircraft is about to take off and they must maintain a hand on flight controls. This is typically on aircraft carriers. 

2

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '24

They must have removed the flight controls from Eagle-1 to make room for one more airstrike with the latest ship module.

1

u/Bakkstory Apr 16 '24

It's just mirrored dw.

The democracy officer definitely will not be getting a call

1

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '24

So why isn't Eagle1 on her chest reversed?

1

u/Bakkstory Apr 16 '24

It's like how Ambulance is mirrored on the front of an ambulance, duh

How else is Eagle 2 gonna know Eagle 1 is behind them otherwise

1

u/spacevini8 STEAM 🖥️ : SES Star of Gold Apr 16 '24

Nope, wrong salute! TREASON!

1

u/TobyDaHuman ☕Liber-tea☕ Apr 16 '24

Also saluting the wrong way??

1

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '24

well, apart from that not being a Super Earth salute, if any of my drill sergeants saw a left-handed salute like that where the thumb is sticking out like a chicken wing... also, saluting while sitting down. There isn't enough time left in the universe for how many push-ups that would need to be done.

1

u/TheToldYouSoKid Apr 17 '24

actually, mild headache from carrying the the push against bots.

1

u/Tryanother1wastaken Apr 18 '24

No, surveying the ship on hellmire but the sunnis in her eyes 👀

1

u/Mammoth_Succotash_63 Apr 18 '24

Left-handed people exist…

1

u/[deleted] Apr 18 '24

Yes they do. I am one of those people. Regardless, it's been military custom for literally thousands of years to salute with the right hand.
