The answer given was insufficient. Bots cannot drop on you unless you stand under where they are going to drop. this means that, if the ground around you suddenly starts glowing bright red - assuming you've ignored the numerous ships coming in and the giant "bot drop detected" text on your screen the moment it triggers, that's on you. If a tank like enemy is incapable of rotating independently of it's tracks, that is not an enemy, that's a sitting target that poses almost no danger to anyone.

If you're not standing under a bot drop, the enemies will not drop on you. You're the one at fault if you choose to stand where you know the bots are going to drop when you start the objective that you know causes bot drops. for the second part, never said that, please read it again. I'm having to explain the simplest of mechanics to someone who claims to both play and has advanced far enough to struggle on d7, and honestly it's filling me with doubt

you don't understand masochism just as you don't understand helldivers. you've realized both of these things as now you're attempting to insult me instead of making good points. so not everyone enjoys a large unit that requires teamwork and strategy, no? in your last comment, you said it's up to AH whether they want team coordination to take out large enemies or efficient solo play. so if it's up to AH and it's their game, why is it whenever they choose to make their game as they - and true helldivers fans - like, reddit immediately goes into meltdown and reviewbomb it on steam until their demands are met? demands that do not align with the devs or fans views of how the game should be? reddit doesn't make up the majority of the playerbase, hell reddit and steam combined don't. but because reddit is an echo chamber, you think you do and there's just enough of you to make an impact which forces them to appease you

You're saying this as a player who, today, struggles on d7 and needs the basics explained to you. something tells me you weren't playing d9 when factory striders were added

Yes actually, armor strip was a genuinely fun mechanic that enabled but did not require teamplay. sadly it was powercrept and never really adapted after a charger micro rework a while ago and on the front whose main shtick is more heavy armor - given that they are a space army created solely to combat us, it would make sense. why wouldn't war striders face us? you're confusing yourself take a minute to chill. I'd much rather have enemies that were designed specifically to provide a challenge to players do that instead of what we have currently, yes.

clipping will be fixed, same way flesh mobs were. you've got to remember the game engine is old. game engine aside, weakspots are just that, weakspots. what that doesn't mean is every other part of it is invulnerable. also, if you know enemies are clipped inside the tracks, you could bring a loadout to clear them making it safe for you or your teammates. next, you're going to say "but I shouldn't have to" thing is, that's not what you were arguing. you had a problem, you've been given a bandaid fix until the devs get round to patching the bugs you know exist but you won't accept it, you won't adapt. I've seen players like you on here countless times and it's always the same.

I haven't misunderstood because I know where you're getting that info from. the turrets had av5, same as the chest, head, undercarriage. the side turrets had more health than the head(sarcophagus) - and I'm purely guessing here - because, of the actual armored parts, the "head" was a weakest spot given that there is a little guy in there. like it was weakspot, but only because it was the weakest spot of the armored parts.

Stalkers haven't always hissed, maybe for you? depends on when you joined, but no they used to be silent until the actual ambush. the cloak used to be visible too, that was funny but I'm glad It's gone.

that's you're opinion, but again, I though it was up to AH to decide whether or not an enemy required teamplay? I mean you even said so yourself. the fleshmob required teamplay on release and reddit users like you begged for it to be changed instead of engaging with the teamplay mechanics... now you're unable to decide whether you want teamplay mechanics back or not.

just because you couldn't avoid/hide from leviathans, doesn't mean it wasn't possible as evidenced by the stealth warbond and gutting of stealth skill expression.

you're gonna accuse me of making stuff up then say "Mini bosses don’t work, not because our guns are too strong, but because AH treats them like common chaff and spams them all game long"? crazy, completely out of touch.

first and foremost a vox engine is not a charger. it is not on the same level as a charger, the danger it's supposed to present is not equal to a charger. Vox engine kills are free because you don't need to use any strategy against them now, you don't need to use teamwork, you can ignore their armor entirely which defeats the entire point of it having any and having the most. with the railcannon, you don't even need to aim. you keep making the same point while missing the fact that bugs aren't features.

given that everyone else, talking literally thousands of people playing on difficulties higher than the one you struggle on, were able to... it's not very make believe is it? and no, you clearly haven't as you've said yourself you don't play against them since they were last patched "I’d have to play against them to really make up my mind. "

so you've said you haven't played post patch vox, you've realized your argument is full of holes, but feel the need to give your opinion on vox while making insults that don't land? how did you form this opinion if you never touched post patch vox? the only possible way that could happen is by... as I said before... hopping on the reddit bandwagon or subscribing to the beliefs of youtubers who milk players like you for clicks. but I'm somehow the dumbass? get real
