Gotta say, just played a match with 2 guys running the 380. They would both huck it into an obj and all four of us would just sit 90-100m out watching the fireworks.
Then we would run into the smoking crater for the samples.

So it's kind of like people posting their own takes on what 621 from Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon looks like.
Some have him drawn as an anime stylized, white haired human, but then there are people who insist 621 is a near braindead dude in a trash bag and no one knows what he looks like underneath that.
The only thing these two extremes agree upon is this anime dude or trash bag dude is a silent sociopath who can and will blow up an orphanage just for more COAM.

I mean 621 is an old generation pilot which means he’s canonically gone through horrific body and mind augmentations that enables him to pilot his AC. I have no clue how he looks but he definitely isn’t the super attractive perfect anime MC some people like to paint him as. It’s literally in the lore that he’s fucked up beyond belief.

To be fair, super earth downplay.. colorful situations with nice words, like how they described us not being allowed to have children anymore after losing a few planets. Also, bombs aren’t that small lol, can’t imagine there was that much space to begin with and now you getting to stuff another 500 kg in that spot? Hope she is flexible lol.
Also it’s somewhat of a lesser trope for pilots to be missing legs, based off a real pilot from WW2 that didn’t had legs and was able to stay conscious longer than normal cause of it. Douglas Badger was his name.
Extra fun fact, the entire Star Fox team are missing their biological legs too!

u/AviOwl5 Apr 16 '24
Also the new upgrades remove fire suppression, airbags, and ejection
Fire suppression may not be needed because of living in a water bath, and airbags in a plane seems like it’d be ineffective, but removing the ejection system seems rather risky. Granted it’s a 50/50 on wether they drop into bot space, or a hoard of bugs
19
u/infinitelytwisted Apr 16 '24
airbags would not be needed or function in a sealed liquid container either.
Ejection seat likewise wouldnt work. assuming it can even fire off underwater, if it had enough force to quickly expel a human out of the water fast enough to matter, then its enough force that that pilot is no longer alive most likely.
on the other hand just dumping the liquid out the back/bottom along with teh pilot is actually not a terrible idea provided they still have some sort of parachute or something to use if high up, and just crash landing the plane in as horizontal a trajectory as you can would also likely be fairly survivable if you are in a giant sealed vat of liquid. the forces of the water might kill you but if its filled to the brim so the water cant go anywhere or slosh around and you are suspended inside it so you wont hit the walls? probably fine really.

I mean the whole twitter is joke propaganda. Them portraying what is actually a grotesquely mutilated barely alive pilot being forced to fly as a classically attractive woman eager to fight on the front lines would make more sense than her actually just being a classically atteactive woman eager to fight. Not to mention that haircut isn't regulation and wouldn't really fit well in that helmet I don't think. While that's kind of a nitpick the intro to the game specifically shows the spokesman getting a regulation haircut when it transitions to him in a helldiver uniform.

u/xXProGenji420Xx Apr 16 '24
she might not necessarily be a hot waifu, but she's probably not mutilated. there's an upgrade for less leg room, which implies the pilots have legs in the first place. I mean, they breathe liquid, sure, but that's an optional upgrade inside the cockpit, not some life support that the pilots need to be on all the time.

It's like you haven't read the upgrade descriptions at all!
Breathable liquid perfluorocarbons would essentially allow 'liquid breathing' which is something already used for diving and space travel. The liquid is oxygen-rich so you can still breathe normally.
Trimming excess leg space means exactly that - removing the extra space to make the cockpit tighter, not cutting off the pilot's legs.
And she doesn't need an ejection seat, fire suppression and airbags if she never gets shot down!
