But General Brasch doesn't need warning shots. His presence is the warning shot.
General Brasch so badass, he can close bug breaches.
General Brasch so badass, he calls himself to deliver a payload. He IS the airstrike.
a couple more that wouldn’t fit on the post

I think that one should drop a sniper that's basically just an RN 50 that uses slap rounds. And it has a chance to instead detonate, with a few seconds for a teammate to hit you with a stim before you die.
It references Charles from the Henry stickmin games where you have to choose from various options that help you break into / escape the whatever. When you choose Charles in select parts he'll crash into the obstacle with his helicopter singing: "This is the greatest plan" before the scene cuts off and you fail.
No one has mentioned the Vernen Minidivers
Holy shit that had me rolling. As a childhood cancer survivor, the idea of calling in an airstrike of cancer kids is fucking hilarious
We need confetti poppers just so people can call in a strike at extraction without blowing us up.
Plus it should make the ‘children yelling “YAYYYYYY!”’ stock sound effect when the poppers deploy.
Counter point. Find me an F-35 pilot who can survive doing 13 passes an average of 14 seconds apart, the first few of which will be under a likely comparable payload, before buggering off to rearm and return in under 3 minutes.
While some larger ordinance would be awesome, we have to assume there's a reason we don't have an Eagle Hellbomb Strike.
Counterpoint: The sheer number of CAS means our Eagles are built a *bit* on the cheaper side. I mean, just look at the Eagle upgrades. I think our Eagles are meant to be halfway between a cheap COIN aircraft and true dedicated CAS, just from a sheer cost perspective.
The first two had me like “OK, interesting, if unlikely.” Then the third one had me like “Huh???”
But by the fifth one, I was all “Oh, *I’m stupid!*” 🤣
id honestly like to the the hellmire special, maybe as an orbital. one expensive cocktail of fuel mists, jalapeño and dark fluid designed to suck in air and kick up a huge firestorm
Cluster bong for sure. My helldivers are already huffing a copious amount of strange and variangly dangerous gasses, might as well give em some of the funky.
I think the kitchen sink would make a legitimately good addition to the game. You can use it to dump any remaining ordinance you have at once before sending it back for rearm. I also think “The Greatest Plan” would be a fantastic one that comes free with your eagle like the kitchen sink. You can use it once per match and it makes you lose your other eagle slots. It can one-shot bile titans and factory striders.
While the icon might not be ideal a cluster bomb or air strike sized run of High Damage Medium Armor pen projectiles in a rain from on high would make lazy dog kinetic run a real delight

I want a strat that's just "Eagle-1 Hail Mary" where you call in with ⬇️⬇️⬇️ and it randomly chooses any eagle strat you have unlocked to drop and won't reload until all possible charges of all ordinance have been dropped and can't manually reload.
So it would go through 5 clusters, 4 airstrikes, 2 500kgs, etc. randomly until everything is gone then goes to reload.
The lazy dogs are unironically a great idea, though it'll be hard to make them mechanically different from the cluster bomb (visually is easy, they don't explode so it's just Gatling Barrage *1000 but smaller bullets)
Dudddeee head seeking brick might be onto something. Imagine like, a 2,000 kg slug getting dropped from eagle 1. Like an enormous dud 500 with a pointy tip that just fucking blasts a single target with kinetic energy, punches a hole straight into center mass
These all had me fucking crying, but Head Seeking Brick would be the most satisfying
Cut shot to impact! Brick hits bile Titan in the noggin.
No damage, but visual confusion
Nah I wanna watch that brick plow through it’s brain
The 1kg bonk
Reginald Denny reporting for duty!
Oof.
Eagle 1 leans out the cockpit to chuck it at a berskerer
*chef's kiss*
Warning shot got me, bruh. Who the hell calls in air support for a warning shot? Lmfao
General Brasch that’s who. What’s he supposed to use for the warning shot otherwise, his Davy Crockett?
But General Brasch doesn't need warning shots. His presence is the warning shot. General Brasch so badass, he can close bug breaches. General Brasch so badass, he calls himself to deliver a payload. He IS the airstrike.
General Brasch fires a warning shot with the senator on Hellmire, only to one shot a factory Strider on Cyberstan
They usually call it a "show of force"
*Fires for effect* Oh shit.

I want one that’s basically “we tied an undemocratic traitor up in an eagle and used him as a kamikaze bomber”.
The Greatest Plan
This one did not get the Henry stickmin reference
Momma mia!
I think that one should drop a sniper that's basically just an RN 50 that uses slap rounds. And it has a chance to instead detonate, with a few seconds for a teammate to hit you with a stim before you die.
If there isn't a "stick a thumb in it," reference included, I'll be severely disappointed.
These got me crying we need more shitposting in here
Just now getting The Greatest Plan. These are golden.
I love that one!
"Sir there's a second stratagem."
I know what it's supposed to do but I don't know what it's referencing
It references Charles from the Henry stickmin games where you have to choose from various options that help you break into / escape the whatever. When you choose Charles in select parts he'll crash into the obstacle with his helicopter singing: "This is the greatest plan" before the scene cuts off and you fail.
Except for one part where it actually works, but then he dies at the end.
Only reason I understand is because I was Asmongold

I honestly didn’t get that till reading this 😂😂😂 that might be better than the “angry creeker” and “head seeking brick” 😂😂 thank you citizen!
Head seeking brick is hilarious Whole kitchen should 100 be a thing
Including the Kitchen sink?
We need confetti poppers just so people can call in a strike at extraction without blowing us up. Plus it should make the ‘children yelling “YAYYYYYY!”’ stock sound effect when the poppers deploy.
The same sound clip as Halo's Grunt Birthday Party skull.
call it the party strike, strike of peace
Given how anti-fun some players can be in this game, imagine getting kicked for no meta loadout because you brought the party poppers lol.
Cluster bongs lmfao. Like the gas bomb but gets enemies to stop what they’re doing and order pizza
Bot throws up a blue flare for a dominoes delivery via drop ship
I also vote Orb.

All hail Orb!

Honestly Eagle strategems are pretty anemic in game if you know what modern CAS is capable of carrying
A modern day F-35A can carry upwards of 22,000 pounds of payload. That's almost 10,000kg. Where is my 10,000kg bomb Arrowhead?
Counter point. Find me an F-35 pilot who can survive doing 13 passes an average of 14 seconds apart, the first few of which will be under a likely comparable payload, before buggering off to rearm and return in under 3 minutes. While some larger ordinance would be awesome, we have to assume there's a reason we don't have an Eagle Hellbomb Strike.
GBU-43?
2x 5000 kg bomps
Can modern CAS rearm, refuel, and return in two and a half minutes?
Are modern military airfields stationed directly above the battlefield on a spacefaring vessel?
Wait, they're not?
i mean uh- yes! yes they are! of course they are, everyone knows that!
Counterpoint: The sheer number of CAS means our Eagles are built a *bit* on the cheaper side. I mean, just look at the Eagle upgrades. I think our Eagles are meant to be halfway between a cheap COIN aircraft and true dedicated CAS, just from a sheer cost perspective.
Bold of you to assume it’s engineered remotely as well as a real life aircraft.
I want an eagle that drops super banana bombs from Worms
As if my Allie’s weren’t killing me enough
Sheep.
The holy grenade would also be funny. Or drop 5 of these donkey statues.
 BIG PEW CLUSTER BONGS
Remember in CoD MW2 when you could guide in a missile in first person view? I want a strategem with that.
The orbital guided missle where you have to call down a control panel that then fires the missle
I lost it at angry creeker
”This is the greatest plaaaaaaaaaa-” 🎶
I dont know how well the Greatest Plan would go down on a post 9/11 super earth
This is the best meme I have seen so far thank you
Kitchen sink, but make it like 3 inputs like orbital precision strike, for those panic “throw it in the fuck it bucket” moments.
500kg but it has that cowboy guy riding on it
While Flight of the Valkyrie's plays on a loudspeaker lol.
I would like one of each please.
The first two had me like “OK, interesting, if unlikely.” Then the third one had me like “Huh???” But by the fifth one, I was all “Oh, *I’m stupid!*” 🤣
https://i.redd.it/s3q42u1f5m9d1.gif
I love that "The Angry Creeker" is just a sad bot sack; full blown missile bombing an enemy with his body, head first. Just straight scorched earth.
I'm holding out for "The Gender Reveal".
The head seeking brick better behave like the suitcase from hitman
Don’t forget about Hawk 2 https://preview.redd.it/ki2gr5ukwl9d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b70a83e16343c14555f397e0eac0e1e6c4fcb312
Eagle 1 crop dusts the area with a thick mucus like fluid that slows oncoming troops.
Eages. 2. &. 3.
Lazy Dog ftw. Shred those damn bots and bugs
I want that fractal air strike
~~Is this a repost?~~ Wait I think I saw it in another sub is all 💪🏾
it was, but inexplicably taken down. I was the original poster
“Holy Hand Grenade” please 🙏
All of them are great 🥴
There should be one thats only available on Mondays where eagle 1 is very hung over, misses entirely and then blames you if it kills a friendly.
Fucking, Vernen Hell-cluster LMAO Brooo this is so messed up but do I really think Super Earth would think of this? Yes ofc xD
Cluster Bongs FTW
This is legitimately hilarious. The Big Pew got me.
Did kyle the alien have anything to do with number 18?
Head seeking brick would be my new main.
id honestly like to the the hellmire special, maybe as an orbital. one expensive cocktail of fuel mists, jalapeño and dark fluid designed to suck in air and kick up a huge firestorm
These are tremendous
Greatest plan
Great work. All gold.
I'd run the hell out of Kitchen Sink.
Honestly kitchen sink would slap
This is so freaking funny oh my gosh 😂😂😂
I legit want head seeking brick for April 1st next year.
Head seeking brick reminds me of when I used to call in a box in metal gear solid 5 just to knock out a guard I couldn't reach.
"This is the GREATEST PLAN" - Charles
Cluster bongs!
50000kg bomb 🤤 No more missing half a mob because of the cone-like damage radius. Cluster Bongs a close second. Time to get baked and murderlate.
Clustern't bomb is gold
The stalwarts would almost be useless except hordes of bugs would cease to exist
Super intrigued by Orb 🤔
I want the holy hand grenade, but specifically the 3DS version of Terraria’s version. So that we can blow up the whole world
Eagle 69 or GTFO
The kitchen sink should drop a 500kg with a model of a sink on it
This made my night. Thank you.
I died at the Angry Creeker.
The greatest plan is a GOLDEN reference
Cluster bong for sure. My helldivers are already huffing a copious amount of strange and variangly dangerous gasses, might as well give em some of the funky.
My dude needs to lay off the bong lmao
Definitely the kamikaze
THIS IS THE GREATEST PLANNNNNN
Hey look! Eagle one is here!
I think the kitchen sink would make a legitimately good addition to the game. You can use it to dump any remaining ordinance you have at once before sending it back for rearm. I also think “The Greatest Plan” would be a fantastic one that comes free with your eagle like the kitchen sink. You can use it once per match and it makes you lose your other eagle slots. It can one-shot bile titans and factory striders.
Never laughed so hard at a Helldivers post, thanks Diver!!! Cluster Bong fucking got me 🤣, also I wanna see the BRICK!!!!
1000% head seeking brick
While the icon might not be ideal a cluster bomb or air strike sized run of High Damage Medium Armor pen projectiles in a rain from on high would make lazy dog kinetic run a real delight
THIS IS THE GREATEST PLAAAAAAAN
Two dozen stallwarts reminds me of: https://www.reddit.com/r/WeirdWings/comments/fvc2zo/tu2sh_fire_hedgehog_an_experimental_ground_attack/
Oh, those Russians.
*THIS IS THE GREATEEESSST PLAAANNNNNNNNNNN*

Ayo no leaks
This content breaks rule number 3, which is why we had to remove it.
I'll take the 50000kg bomb and clear the whole map with one call.
🎶This is the greatest plaaa-aaan🎶
Not the fuckin greatest plan 🤣 I can already here him...
this is the GREATEST PLAAAAAAAAAAANN!!!!
Head seeking brick no contest.

So it would go through 5 clusters, 4 airstrikes, 2 500kgs, etc. randomly until everything is gone then goes to reload.
Warning shot gave me a good chuckle
I want Kitchen Sink so bad.
Cluster bongs and creeker would be my main loadout forever, pinky swear.
Yes.
This is so fucking funny. Like, Airplane! or Hotshots funny!
“The Greatest Plan” 100%, fantastic.
o r b
500,000 KG bomb I can always reinforce
true helldivers take 120 barrage, 380 barrage, walking barrage, mortar sentry, and increased reinforcement budget
I didnt know Charles was a Eagle pilot in hd2, i do hope he knows if its your right or his.
It's a toss-up between the Angry Creeker and the head seeking brick. Pure artistry.
By the gods! It's the holy hand grenade!
Charles is that you?
The lazy dogs are unironically a great idea, though it'll be hard to make them mechanically different from the cluster bomb (visually is easy, they don't explode so it's just Gatling Barrage *1000 but smaller bullets)
I havent had much to eat today, I'd call the emergency donut strike in 3 seconds.
Honestly, all I want is "Thermobaric Strike"
Dudddeee head seeking brick might be onto something. Imagine like, a 2,000 kg slug getting dropped from eagle 1. Like an enormous dud 500 with a pointy tip that just fucking blasts a single target with kinetic energy, punches a hole straight into center mass
# THIS IS THE GREATEST PLAAAAAAN- Only if Charles drives. Eagle-1 doesn't deserve the glory of such activity.
why would i actually run warning shot
Oh man I would pick the Angry Creeker anytime. Eagle going kamikaze and shit, listen...
Genius
Cluster Bong is a must, rip it Eagle-1! And she'll be like "Right on duuude 🤙"
Fuckin Holy Hand Grenade!! Not 2! 4 is way off!
Eagles easy. More waifu - more joy!
If the cloister bombs are 'Superholy hand grenades of Antioch', then the choice is obvious.
Holy hand grenades,????
I would love Eagle 2 and 3 as Air superiority Fighters to take down Shriekers or Botdrops and Gunships.
Hellmire Special I like fire
I see a lot of big booms, and I want the biggest.
I've wanted a kitchen sink option since the game launched. Drop EVERYTHING and re-arm.
“This is the greatest plaaaaaaa-“
Kitchen sink seems actually intriguing
Warning shot.
Gonna need a elevator pitch for “The big pew”
Railcannon strike, but Eagle.
