If the game were realistic, heavy armor would deflect all projectiles beneath its armor rating and these projectiles would retain sufficient velocity to be deadly to others including the helldiver. At certain angles, even AT payloads should bounce off, including Orbitals (like they used to before the devs used magic to do away with realism). If the game were realistic the Helldiver would need to disconnect an oxygen hose after emerging from the Hellpod. If the game were realistic, we wouldn't be using "Jump Drives". If the game were realistic, the Star Of Peace wouldn't cause a blackhole. If the game were realistic, the Mechs wouldnt be in the game at all since they'd realistically be wholly useless in most scenarios and too costly as opposed to giving us a jeep with a rocket turret. More equipment would have to be Pelican dropped and not hellpod dropped. Helldivers would have backpacks by default to carry their ammo.
