Earth is under planetary invasion & no Full military mobilization?

[Starbarian]

Where are the tanks, APCs, air assault fighter jets, and air hovercrafts like helicopters to deal with leviathans? (Stratagems don't count.)
Is Super Earth broke? I'm asking Lore-wise. Even if players can't use it and NCPs only, or scripted, is fine with me for immersion's sake.

Probably en route from the frontlines, what little heavy armament SE does have is probably being used by SEAF surrounding the megacities.

Also seeing HellDiver legends like General Brasch fighting on super earth would be nice even if it's scripted

Because they massively oversold and underdelivered as usual.

Perhaps because after 1st galactic war victory, the mobilization of the military had been reduced to bear minimum?

While the live service of the game is basically a ever ramping up mobilization of the military.

You want lore? Here's my take on it.

Humanity has enjoyed a century of peace after the first game. So whatever military force we have is mostly leftover from past conflicts. When the invasion started again, we restarted our arms manufacturing and send them to other planets for helldivers to use.

But we didn't keep much of it in Super Earth because we were so confident that our enemies will never make it far enough to land on our shores.

So here we are.

Didnt they hand out free rifles to everybody on a holiday.

It sounds like they have a ton of weapons in storage.

Said "free rifles" were terrible. You could make it work, but why bother when better options are available.

Yeah just saying it's not like they have nothing available. When we're fighting over a 10km sq map you'd expect to find more than ~20 SEAF troopers defending it.

Yes Super Earth is broke . They built 2 million space ships filled with thousands of clones and I personally fire 30+ stratagems per mission.....For Freedom and Liberty.

You want a good lore reason . We call in nukes and carpet bombs with a push of a button .

thats a pretty bad take. You would want absolute defense power in your home, especially when this is where most notable citizen are living, people who earned their rights to have such priviledge, priviledge that even most of helldivers dont have.

and they getting rekt by a few dumbass zombies.

its just badly designed really

whats happening rn is that we are not fighting illuminatis... we are fighting monsters they created out of our own flesh and bones, they killing us from inside. And apparantly they're (superearth devs) too weak and dumb to protect themself from it?

Like I said, overconfidence.

[Ciaphas]

even the game "earth defense force" have tanks and npc squads helping in the fight and also have way bigger battles xD, the devs are just lazy ass, prefer warbonds to deliver imersion and fun.

[Majestic]

You'd think a militaristic-fascist state would keep stockpiles of weaponry in reserve in the event of an uprising or worse. And SE probably does.

But the reality is that the Devs are more focused on pushing out mid ass warbonds instead of any real meaningful content and here we are.

Automatons outpost have better protection than large city in SE

See Automatons are better than lame SE, they even have actual tank while SE have only janky buggy car
