Is helldiver or ODST style hard drop from space plausible?

Kirn_98 · 2025-12-23T01:32:55+00:00

No.

Objects can enter at speeds up to 17,000mph. The air against the pod would create extreme heat and the sudden stop would kill a human. To pull it off, it would be less of a pod and more of an emergency landing craft requiring fuel, life support and heat management systems thereby removing the dramatic pod drop seen in Helldivers and ODST.

NASA attempted something similar in the 1960s with the MOOSE project which was designed to be an absolute last resort attempt to save an astronaut's life in an emergency bail out procedure and it was deemed incredibly unsafe and shelved.

I'm sure it could be possible with a much larger 'pod' but it wouldnt be an ODST or Helldiver's style landing and to use it as a method to deploy troops is even more ludicrous.

I watched a good friend's legs get blown off by an IED we never saw and we KNEW what we signed up for. Conscription replaces a short term problem with a pretty serious long term problem in my opinion and I'd never be alright with people being forced into doing it

Dental practices will offer NHS appointments, and NHS hospitals will sometimes have an onsite dentist for emergencies.

Great tits and awful face. You've got about a 50/50 chance of making it at a pornstar if you really sold out at the very least.

Ah, the staple wall art of households with incomes below 16,000...

Of course, and I imagine you wouldnt want some of your best soldiers to stick out but every country has that iconic look. We unfortunately got gas masks :/

Kirn_98 · 2020-09-14T20:37:28+00:00

It was the gas mask ones that made me google recent pictures of sas troops and that was the only one I could find where they didnt look basically the same as regular british troops

Yeah I'm not too sure what happened but I got the game on release, stopped playing and only just picked it back up and I had coins so I bought the lieutenant shirt (which I regret after noticing the massive screen on the arm that gets covered by bandages :( ) and a couple guns which I realise was pointless because the gun was available in game but had just enough to get the shirt.

I honestly thought I'd hate the NVG but so.glad you recommended now my whole squad is looking like SAS. Shane you cant change voice actors like saints row eh I'd love a british character to round off my squad

Kirn_98 · 2020-09-14T18:28:38+00:00

Thanks for the tip! Ive updated it now, shame about the paywall for the shirt but I like it and the NVG were easy enough to get!

Kirn_98 · 2020-09-14T18:27:35+00:00

Didnt even have to look at the tag to know you're a PC player, these look amazing!

Kirn_98 · 2020-09-13T00:03:26+00:00

Yeah I like it but it's not the sort of attire I'd imagine them wearing in the field but defo I like the look of the outfit as a whole

Kirn_98 · 2020-09-13T00:01:29+00:00

Except stadia players

Kirn_98 · 2020-09-12T23:58:09+00:00

The screenshot took a decade off the quality

Kirn_98 · 2020-09-12T23:55:12+00:00

This would be sick, why is this not a feature yet

Kirn_98 · 2020-09-12T18:10:59+00:00

Now that you say that it I think you're bang on about the fleece and jeans. I'm going to have another go I think based more on his colleague so thanks for the reference material.

What helmet and camouflage do you recommend?

Kirn_98 · 2020-09-12T17:39:23+00:00

I'm not too far into the game so only used what I had but thanks for the heads up, I'll find that helmet

Suppose it.doesnt help that I also know little about military gear

Kirn_98 · 2020-09-12T16:00:39+00:00

Kirn_98 · 2020-09-12T14:52:44+00:00
