Imagine a thermobaric bomb stratagem

[pazow269]

large explosion radius and also it would look cool cause yes also itd be good at destroying command bunkers and other stuff

[pazow269]

i change my mind, no matter how cool it would look its still gonna be a ♥♥♥♥ game untill it gets fixed

500 cigarettes bomv functions exactly the same

Devs should use their time to add more stratagem or ship upgrades since they cap the money, medals and sample instead of fussing about tinkering with existing stuffs. Add more things we can spend on instead of wasting your time with spreadsheet or statistic that just pisses more people every update.

isn't a thermobaric bomb basically just an explosive tooled to primarily deal damage through pressure instead of fragmentation and kinetic force? I suppose you could argue it should be extra effective against armored targets, but most of the airstrikes already have pretty high AP.

A 500 kg with 3 times the blast radius.

To keep it from being too reliable, it has AP1, can't damage terminid warriors or devastators and above.

hmm. so a 60 meter radius explosive that basically just kills all the smallest chaff?

that could actually be really good for taking out bases and large bug holes. you'd just need a way to prevent it from nuking the helldivers too :p

low damage low AP huge area? if it did about 200 damage with AP1, that's enough to kill hunters, scavengers and bot troops, and if you're prone when it fires, you can survive it as a helldiver.

i feel like the best version is an airstrike that has a long drop time as well as a long cool down but its very worth the wait (its also so you don't get gibbed) and it has high damage, high blast radius and medium or high armour pen but you can only drop one before it has to rearm. it could also prob utilise the SEAF bomber model that exists kinda like a MOAB or FOAB (maybe even a cool ole explosion animation kinda like the ones from WiC)

you could say that but i would say democratic atomisation
