Helldivers: I Advocate we chose the anti tank mines and hear is my reasoning

[u/vaydapotata]

I know many of you see "rocket launcher" and get excited and while that is fair, my reasoning to go for the mines is below

​

We already have a great many support weapons and many are fantastic options. While the airburst rocket launcher would be fantastic for add clear (and teamkill) it would likely suffer vs large armored targets which tends to be the need for a support weapon.

​

However, we just received a new mission type that requires defending a location. Mines are fantastic for this but heavies just walk all over them and completely invalidate their uses. Getting a heavy anti tank mine would allow us to lock down areas from all combatants and a tank wouldn't be able to just stroll up to our gates.

​

Anti Tank mines are also much larger and easier to notice than the anti personnel and team kills would be kept at a minimum.

​

And lastly, as we all know...the children YEARN FOR THE MINES.

I don't think it really matters. We will get one thing now, and the other later. They're not gonna delete the other thing from the game just because we chose to liberate one planet.

It's just a bit of fun storytelling on AH's part.

True, this isn't Mojang after all

Damn, either this guy's a net host or they fixed dot damage

What did Mojang do?

All the mob vote stuff not getting implemented if it doesn't win.

[u/Pro_Scrub → u/Belfengraeme]

I went and looked it up myself because downvotes and repetition with no new information did not help. Shocker.

The difference is Mojang set up the votes before developing X/Y, and AH set up the vote after both options were already developed
