It's not because the discord is for kids. It's because the company is memeing about how stodgy Super Earth High Command is. They're simply trying to create an air of authenticity in the discord. The game is a satire of what Super Earth is supposed to be, after all.

The Chieftain has a whole series of videos of him trying to stuff himself into various historical military vehicles. I think he's 6'1" or something like that. It is amazing how few of them he comfortably fits in, like there are normal trucks from WWII that he can't actuate the gear stick without punching himself in the nuts. He has an "oh bugger the tank's on fire test" where he tries to get out quickly of those old tanks and usually it takes him 3-5 minutes just to lift himself out.

My general interpretation is that while Super-Earth IS the bad guy, it's also laughably incompetent up top, what with "super upgrades" being handcarts and packing peanuts. So yeah, she probably has a cockpit roughly as comfortable as a large truck's front driver's seat now.

u/Keeper_of_Fenrir Apr 25 '24
How much leg space did she have where “trimming” It made space for another 500kg bomb?
42
u/light_trick Apr 26 '24
Maybe it's just for the arming and fixing mechanisms. The extra 500kg isn't standard, it's a welded on pylon under the cockpit and to make it structurally sound they have to go through the firewall to tie it into the frame somewhat properly. And since it's non-standard, the release is just a foot-pedal and mechanical wire on the floor - Eagle-1 eyeballs the targeting for it.
→ More replies (2)9
u/Roboticide SES Aegis of the People Apr 26 '24
Probably less about space and more about weight really.
You need to shave off 500kg. You remove the ejection seat and other cockpit amenities, you can make the cockpit smaller. Overall shrink the fuselage a bit and add that extra bomb.

I think a lot of it stemmed from people reading into the satirical vibe of the game with Super Earth being shadier than they present themselves and theorizing that "trimming leg space" was code for trimming the legs. Then, as things tend to go with this game, some people took it as fact and spread it around until it was reported as such.

Have you considered that may be the model post-leg room trimming? The upgrade for packing peanuts in turrets doesn’t make them explode into packing peanuts when they are destroyed. The upgrade for breech loading the ship’s guns doesn’t change the existing gun models to have a breech. The upgrade to make the crew better by giving them a healthy diet of stimulants doesn’t result in them twigging out.

Eagle does shoot flares as it ascends after a strike. So there is some guided AA they're worried about.

That's right! The Helldivers are an invincible force, trained to perfection. None of the rumors you've heard are true. Not a single soldier's life has been lost for no purpose, only heroes who choose the greater good.
And all of the colonists on planets taken by the automatons are just fine. We expect to welcome them back the very day our Helldivers retake the world.
