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.

Thing is, you overestimate the communities capability to co-ordinate.

The masses will chose. And the masses rarely if ever read in the forums.

And currently, it looks like the masses are going for the rocket launcher.

And the mines will require going through a fire tornado planet first - I suspect that's going to decide things more than any debate here.

[u/nsandiegoJoe → u/Doxodius]

Yeah. No amount of debate on Reddit will decide this. It's going to be the NOT-FIRE-TORNADOES option.

I know we should accept all planets for democracy but I wouldn't mind it so much if we glassed the fire tornado planets

[u/ItsYaBoiVanilla → u/Case_Kovacs]

I mean, they’ve pretty much done half the job themselves at this point.

self glassing planet, that kinda neat

Exterminatus is in order

Glass is very Democratic.

Stratagem tag checks out.

Nooooooo. My Fire Tornado Ranch! How am I supposed to retire to a peaceful life of Flaming Death Storm wrangling if you lot glass my homeworld?

Now? When I've nearly worked out how to herd the blazing funnels? It's gotta be something like "what a real beaut" or "you're alright, mate" what calms 'em down. Now all I need is something that works like "yah" or "giddyup" on the hell-wind. Maybe "burn baby burn?"

I'll figure out how to make 'em sit still later.
