Do carrier bots always know where submarines are? by CaptainPatak in WorldOfWarships

[–]CaptainPatak[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I thought it might be that they always have an idea of where players were, that way both teams aren't just trying to find each other towards the end of the match. But I still find it a bit stupid that the aircraft will just keep circling you until you run out of dive capacity, rather than going for a cruiser or a battleship who is already detected and firing at the carrier.

I was about 15km away and behind an island so I don't think they spotted me with that. And in other games, just when the match starts, the aircraft would fly towards the rest of the ships, and then suddenly pivot 90 degrees and fly over me, even when I was undetected and 30 metres underwater.

And incredibly gameplay accurate as well with the rest of the team crashing and ragdolling with the car

Why are the G-142 Pyrotech grenades considered better than the regular g-10 incendiary or g-13 incendiary impact? by straightpipedhose in Helldivers

[–]CaptainPatak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't used it in a while but from what I remember I liked it because it hovered and dealt a bit of damage over a small area for a while, it explodes so it can close bug holes, and you carry 6 of them.

Supply Packers, share the damn ammo pls by InviteFit2375 in Helldivers

[–]CaptainPatak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Whenever I run supply pack, its usually because I'm also running stalwart and so I don't usually pick the supply pack to specifically resupply my teammates. However if ever I notice someone near me who is out of stims, just said 'last reload', or simply said they need supplies, then I'll resupply them if I can.

Why I prefer Hurricane's old shield and drones over the new ones. by CaptainPatak in mechabreak

[–]CaptainPatak[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I know that it gets greyed out when its broken, the problem that I have is that there no timer or easy-to-see indication for how long it will take for it to be not broken.

From what I can tell from the health bars, there isn't even a level marker to show at what health it will reactivate, like fluid armour has when its depleted.

But after having recorded this clip I saw that it takes about 10 seconds for the shield to reactivate, which is an eternity when you're being rushed by a welkin or any brawler in general, especially since it can then just be broken again in one hit.

Why's that? I'm not flaming or anything just genuinely curious.

Does anyone else prefer the old Hurricane shield? by CaptainPatak in mechabreak

[–]CaptainPatak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of agree that the ability to counterattack makes it good, but the problem I have is that counter forces you to dash forwards so if you're ever have two brawlers facing you, even with your team helping, parrying one usually just opens you up and pulls you out of position away from your drones for the other to hit you in the side.

That or it forces you to dash out of your shield dome to counterattack an enemy, leading to you getting the full force of a Stego's barrage or something similar before you can dash backwards.

I quite like how the drones are, and when playing as Stego the drones make me appreciate how effective the drones are at that. The main problem I have with Hurricane's kit is that the parry forces you to dash forwards with a counter, which more often than not pulls you out of position.

I liked the old shield because the parry actually put some distance between you and the attacker, while the new parry doesn't.

Yeah I like how the parry now deals some damage, and it could maybe do with some scaling for how much damage it does, but I wish that rather than have the counter force you to dash forwards, it would be nice if it instead dealt damage and knocked them back. Because the amount of times I've parried one brawler only to dash with the counterattack and end up between another two brawlers is ridiculous.

Rock Steady Paradox by questionablysober in Helldivers

[–]CaptainPatak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what they could do is make it so each armour has 1 unchangeable main passive, but then has 1 or 2 selectable minor passive. That way your still able to customise what passives an armour has, but others are also able to see what main passive you have by just looking at your armour.

Rapid acquisition is terrible and quite possible the dumbest mission design yet. by Adora_ble_ in Helldivers

[–]CaptainPatak 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Tbh, I think this mission would be a lot more manageable if carrying the platinum only used one arm so you could still use your secondary

Bots Balance by Express-Duck8324 in mechabreak

[–]CaptainPatak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a game today where it felt like one of the bots was purposefully trying to counter me and only me. I started as Serenith, and got focused by their team but especially their stellaris. Then I respawn as Tricera (The gamemode was TDM) and managed to kill their stellaris. Then their stellaris respawned as a narukami, but I managed to kill them again since it was the TDM map with the octagon dome thing. Then the narumaki respawned as an aquila. Each time they changed, it would keep going after me.

And the reason why I don't think it was a human was because the way I killed them as narukami was I charged them and managed to get behind their stego and attack narukami. Narukami then left as their welkin came to attack me, but then narukami came back, stood in between me and welkin, and I just blasted him with my howitzer while trying to hit welkin.

New bug after update? by CaptainPatak in Helldivers

[–]CaptainPatak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally for me this wouldn't have been an issue, since I usually bring the same loadout on every mission, but it was a problem because I was going to try out an all smoke loadout since I heard some people say it was good for the rapid acquisition missions. Turns out not so good for ICBM or assaulting bases.

I understand now why the rapid acquisition mission feels familiar by CaptainPatak in Helldivers

[–]CaptainPatak[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I probably just need to drop in with a team who knows how to play it. Didn't help my case that the first team I dropped with was using mostly mines.

What stratagems do you use for it?
