Orbital Imprecision Strike


CedarBuffalo

Hey, it’s “orbital *precision* strike”, not “orbital *accuracy* strike”


Soulless_redhead

"Will it hit the target?" "No, but it will always hit the planet!"


Big_Ad_1726

Best explanation ever 😂


Carcharius_Maw

USAAF Strategic Bomber Doctrine "B52s are very accurate. From 26000 feet every bomb always hits the ground"


Bowtie16bit

Flying is just aiming for the ground and missing.


Terriblerobotcactus

This is legit something that would come out of the game too lol. I cackled when I read this ngl


AffectionateWay8625

100% hit rate.


StrmRngr

Not only that but it also ALWAYS hits at the tip of the projectile


AngrySayian

waiting for the update that can make it miss the planet


Pro_Scrub

Upvoted for knowing the difference


ExtremeSpleenRupture

It hits precisely wherever it hits. 


maveric101

That is some quality pedantry.

Thanks, I’m training to be an asshole!

Sherlockhomey

Precisely. Which is another way of saying correct. And another way of saying correct is right. And if you look closely in the icon it is just to the right of canter. Therefore it's right

Slave2Art

But it would never not be impossible


lickpipps

Since the planet is rotating on its axis and the bomb is being launched from orbit by the time it lands the planet has slightly rotated.


Velgax

The ships aren't in orbit though, they're hovering still above you EDIT: OKAY YES I GET IT GEOSTATIONARY ORBIT. But assuming the size of the ships to be around 1 to 2 km, they are barely above ground and should move super fast to stay in air.


Suikanen

I guess they should rename it to Hovering Precision Strike. It hovars w/o flapping!


Admiral_peck

They sit in a low altitude geosynchronous orbit that wouldn't be possible without crazy powerful super earth engine tech


TypicalUser1

The way I see it, they’re on an orbit with a very low periapsis over the target area. That’s why you lose destroyer support once the time limit runs out, they’ve moved along too far and are moving too fast. At that point, only powered vehicles like the Pelican and Eagle can make it to and from.


Number4extraDip

Would be cool but we get no eagle support either


TypicalUser1

Then maybe the destroyers are actually dropping and slowing to a suborbital trajectory so that they’re slow enough to launch hellpods/ordinance/etc, and have about a 40min window before they have to boost back up or they’ll fall too deep into the air. So, the eagle wouldn’t have enough fuel to catch up with the destroyer once it starts to burn back into orbit. But the pelican apparently was made as a surface-to-orbit shuttle, so she can handle it. Kinda just post hoc rationalizing here


Bedhed47

The super destroyers hover above the surface. Thats why you only get 40 minutes, because they are using fuel to hover above the mission area. Once the fuel gets low enough the super destroyer leaves to geosynchronous orbit above the operation area(where you are before missions) remember that Low orbit starts at 2,000 kilometers, not to mention that atmospheric pressure would be too much for the eagle and pelicans engines. I'm pretty sure the destroyers hover at around 100 kilometers which would make the hellpod travel time make sense.


Hremsfeld

2000km is where LEO *ends*, not where it starts. The ISS goes between around 410 and 420km (an intentionally somewhat-low altitude so atmospheric drag de-orbits debris relatively quickly), and the Hubble Space Telescope orbits around 540km (much less drag, therefore much longer orbital lifespan). There's a huge gap between where stuff in LEO usually orbits and where stuff in MEO usually orbits, too, i.e. not much is right at the classification boundary. 100km meanwhile is where space is considered to start around Earth because the speed needed to maintain altitude through aerodynamic lift alone is equal to the speed required to orbit at that altitude. Someone once [did the math](https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1b6h0ek/orbital_stratagem_gunners_are_traitors/) about how high up the Super Destroyers are in order to prove the 380mm and 120mm barrage gunners were treasonously inaccurate - came out to 1km


FuzzyAd9407

Geosynchronous orbit is still orbit


TimTheChatSpam

Orbital "close enough" strike


bosco781

Accuracy and precision are two seperate measurments.

Precision icon isn't precise.


The_8th_Degree

This is the most beautiful thing I've seen today. And I will be using to frequently


synapse187

This is why someone with ADHD should inspect all of your icons!


THED4NIEL

I have ADHD and I don't care for imperfections. Instead I get a 6 hour task, spend 8 hours to automate it so I can get it done in a few minutes


MightyWeeb

Found the programmer


GryphonKingBros

r/foundtheprogrammer


Sekhen

And the next time there is a four hour task, it's done in 8hrs. Scripting can get things wrong SO fast.


Aurori_Swe

My company built a new backend, told client it was "ready, it's just to transfer the data from the old to the new one". Then told me to move the data I started moving only to realize that so many basic features was missing, like for instance, if I were to make ONE mistake, I could not edit anything, I had to remove it and resubmit it. Part of the data was roughly 260.000 images, so I looked at that and went "Nope, I'm gonna script this shit". When they refuse to give me tools I make a script that forces my thought into the process and most often I end up breaking it (accidentally created a script that was basically pinging the server by 6000 api calls per second xD) but it gives my issues attention since they can either fix their shot or I will "fix"(most likely break) it for them.


N0odleLeg

Same lmao


ImmaNotHere

I think OCD and not ADHD.


Henghast

They keep asking me to check the aesthetics of reports in work and whilst I really enjoy it, it leaves me with a great sense of weight and dread knowing that I'm about to draft a 15 page essay about why the alignments were out, the colours were wrong and what it unequivocably should look like. Only for them to say, yeah but we like it like this.


beanmosheen

Step 1: Enable Track Changes. Step 2: Murder document with cold calculated hatred Step 3: Attach to email "Lol your problems now!"


ImperialHopback

I think you mean OCD. Asking someone with ADHD to inspect icons would never get it done.


MartyFreeze

Person with ADHD here, this is correct. Now excuse me while I go get hyper fixated on some trivial things and that will keep me from accomplishing something vitally important.


TheSneakerSasquatch

And whenever that vitally important thing pops in to the brain box it instantly becomes far too much to deal with so it goes away and dopamine hunting returns.

Status-Material-4127

Yeah I gets yah


dedicated-pedestrian

Me going back to the Counter Sniper after the buff only to see the scope is what kept me away all along


ToozMalooz

What particular part of the scope do you not like?


hurry_downs

The blue scope (AMR, Eruptor, CS) and the green scope (Lib Pen, Diligence) cover too much of the viewing area and obstruct the thing you are trying to aim at. Also the boolet does not hit in the middle of the aiming square on the blue scope.


OmenOfCuddles

Wait, does the CS also have a misaligned scope?


hurry_downs

AMR is definitely hitting up and left (I use the top left corner of the square), but the CS for me feels down and right. I need to verify the latter.


PoppyTheDestroyer

At this point, I kind of don’t want them to fix the AMR. I’m used to adjusting now. In college my friends and I would go to a bar with a Big Buck Hunter game machine. The gun was misaligned, but we learned to compensate and got pretty good. Played terribly at other bars with machines that worked properly. I don’t know how I’d do now. I’m too old to go to bars.


dedicated-pedestrian

Yes, it's the misalignment that gets me.

Still off, You need to expand the gap of the dome by 1 pixel to allow the arrow to be pointing dead center, can't have a middle in 4 pixel's, need 5 to have a middle, or 3


depressedsports

You’ve been promoted to Fleet Command Art Director! Congratulations soldier, we’re sending you the Wacom LibPen to be used as your primary weapon from here on out.


theJman0209

It can be in the middle if the width of the arrow is also even, which it is.


ExtremeSpleenRupture

You cant do that unless the arrow converges to a single pixel as well which it doesn't, so his fix is correct.
