No, what they say is a real issue. I dont know if something shows up and pops it, but it doesnt seem to ever detonate if I run. Is real rage inducing. Seems more when two factories.

First time I twice dropped a hellbomb and armed and ran, but it never went off.

Second time I dropped and got out and was not detected. Never went off.

Yeah the hellbomb has crazy aggro, and bots will prioritize shooting it down. It's better to have teammates covering the hellbomb from further away, as the factory will usually spawn gunships the moment you arm the hellbomb. Another trick is to use the shield turret to protect the hellbomb.

Real helldivers stay with the hellbomb until the countdown reaches 0 just to be sure.

it works just fine if you blow it up next to it. it doesn't vanish but has a damage model.
use your eyeballs.

I was in a group and it took about 3-4 hell bombs before they destroyed it. I was taking out points of interest while they were doing it and so I didn't see their placement. I can only guess that they were placing it farther away from the building than intended. But I did see each hell bomb go off. I've only seen this once and it was after yesterday's patch.

PS: Gunships will destroy hell bombs.

It's a known issue with the Hellbomb itself. it's blast range is quite large, but it's only horizontal. It covers about 20 meters radius but only about 2 meters vertically. The problem with gunship fabricators is they need to take damage near the top of the structure.

I'm not sure this is accurate because I always put my hellbombs for the gunship factories in the little pit next to the factory itself and I've never failed to blow it up (when the hellbomb has gone off).

This happened to me, I thought I did something wrong but apparently it will keep making gunship and near the end, the gunships are invincible. I shot it 3 times and it just go through them.

I watched 4 of them go off and still diddnt destroy the factory. It was a double factory and I kept trying different spots. Eventually it the 5th one blew them up. Another player called the 5th one in and set it off so maybe it was just me who was glitched. Took a good 10 minutes and about 7 Helldivers lost their lives. When it's a double factory them gunships pop out 3 or 4 at a time, plus the devastators and hulks launching rockets from all sides it was absolute carnage. I hope thet fix it because it's happened to me another time but that only took 3 hellbombs.

The radius is extremely low ..
If you havent noticed from the free HB on the maps, many enemies just 2-3 meters away from it survives
And if there are a lot of enemies, there is like limit of how many it can kill or i dont know, because often enemy survives even when standing right next to it and touching it ..

The trick is to stay at arm reach distance and make sure the hellbomb actually explode. Sometimes they like to play a trick on you and if you don't look sternly at it then it will not go off.

Place it in the trench beside the building and make sure that the enemies are busy attacking you.

ive killed like a hundred gunship factories. and the only time it didn't blow up was because the hellbomb was destroyed by the bots. i'd love to see 5 hellbombs go off and not destroy the factory on video. because it just sounds like the gunships sniped the bomb over and over again.
