DEMOCRACY HAS SPOKEN! A lot of feedback regarding the 110mm Pods. In my personal experience using them so far I just haven't found them to be very consistent. Sounds like a revisit/second chance is on order.

Supreme Command has banished me to Malevelon Creek to trial them until further notice. For Liberty.

[thestateofyum]

i honestly think 500kg needs a bump to it's range, so many tiny bugs don't die in a proximity that looks pretty fatal.

[Rexiler]

"The Eagle is the super earth's equivalent of the A-10 Warthog" uhh yeah considering just how many friendly fire incidents the A-10 has caused during its service this is actually extremely accurate

[teapouter]

110mm takes out a tank guaranteed. If you get the upgrade, that's three tanks out of commission every 2 minutes for one stratagem.

[reign]

i love how everyone can agree that no matter how good each strategem is, they’re all absolutely awesome

[jordananderson]

Quick tip for my Eagle lovers, your airstike path will always be perpendicular to the direction you are facing when you tods the beacon. As an example, if you face east, it will always strike north-south or south-north. Use this to more effectively plan your airstrikes :)

[Thaddios]

the 110s are for harder difficulties. They grantee one shot bot tanks and turret towers, and either 1 shot or disarm hulks. They do enough damage to the bile titan to only need to bust its belly to kill it, and its almost imposable to friendly fire with them. On top of that they track so they only miss if there is nothing in range to target or a charger is rushing you only about half hit, if all hit they 1 shot a charger. With the upgrade you can basically take the 3 biggest threats off the board instantly in any fight, even at point blank range. My group usually run 1-2 people with 110s on suicide-Helldiver, they are just superb.

[wildmonkeycar]

The strafe is incredibly useful for dealing with patrols, or for panic situations where you need a path cleared quickly. It's easily the safest "lethal" Eagle strategem, which means you can call it near your team and still minimize friendly fire, and because it comes in only 1 second after beacon ignition, it's incredibly useful when you're getting swarmed (plus, it's the quickest, easiest input). It also makes your teammates needlessly panic when it drops near them, so that's a slight bonus for the trolls, out there

The Smoke Strike is actually capable of destroying buildings if the shell makes direct contact, weirdly enough. It's also fantastic for defense scenarios, such as civilian defense or extraction, because you will always see an enemy coming through the smoke before they can see you.

[OfficialUSKRprogram]

YES
That's how to make a tier list!
Interesting fact, the 500KG bomb is about the same size as the American Mk-83 1000lb bomb, and it's also used more or less for the same purpose.
The in-game Eagle is really comparable to the real life AV-8B, and both aircraft have roughly the same carrying capacity as well.

The A-10 on the other hand can carry between 8 and 11 Mk-83s, which is a ridiculous amount of bombs.

[bluenicholasbf]

I thoroughly agree with your tier list that the 500kg and cluster are S tier for Termininds, but a seperate tier list is needed for automatons as the 500kg bomb isn't of much use there, whereas the 110mm rocket pods are phenomenal at dealing with tanks, hulks and turrets. If there are none to be found they can be used to clear bot factories as well.

Automaton tier list would be something like
S - 110 Rocket pods, Cluster Bomb
A - Airstrike
B - Strafing Run, Smoke
C - 500kg bomb
D - Napalm

[RealYankee]

I'd like to add that while it's a somewhat specific usage, the napalm strike is good for when you're trying to put some distance between you and a bug horde. It'll slow them down and the fires last for a decent amount of time, buying you time to put some distance between yourself and a horde.

[WulfieZi]

I feel bad for trimming Eagle 1's leg space. But I'm sure she understands that we need that extra firepower for DEMOCRACY.

Also I'm very glad that the Automaton AA turrets don't actually shoot down our Eagles if they get too close. I would feel HORRIBLE

[gamesordames]

While 110s are real inconsistent against bugs due to their movement, against bots i find the 110s to be wild. All the big bots are either real slow or are tanks so the 110s hit almost every time. At least A against bots.

[loganswalk]

A bit of advice if you have a the modifier that increases the cooldown of your stratagems consider taking primarily eagle strikes since they have such a short cooldown already it hardly matters and when it goes to rearm you get all of them back on one cooldown.

[ProjectTaker]

The recent TCS missions actually revealed a good use for the Smoke Strike (or any smoke ordnance for that matter)
The objective actually becomes invisible to the enemy once there’s smoke around it.

Like you said, very niche but highly effective

[radioactivecat]

okay counter point with the 110mm, super good for tanks an turrets, and the feeling of it doing that pass, sniping the tank and blowing it up, its just amazing

[Name-zdnb]

Love how they deploy flares for the turn an burn outta there.

[NeightrixPrime]

I just run Airstrike and 500kg. Specialized strategems can be nice but I find myself favoring ones with broad applications, and then moppin up whatever is left with weapons.

[Razumen]

One useful thing about the strategems like the standard airstrike, is that you can change the direction they come in based on the angle you throw them. For example, if you're running away from a horde, if you throw the strategem at a perpendicular angle to the incoming horde, you'll get a strike that either comes at the horde straight on, or from behind, guaranteeing more hits-which may be very useful if a Charger is after you.

Of course, this means you pretty much have to throw the beacon at your feet, and you might get caught in the explosion as well if you don't RUN (Best to run at a 35 degreeish angle and then dive as soon as you hear the eagle coming), so it's a bit risky.

[samslara]

I like the 110mm rocket pods. It's really the only eagle option when a charger (or any other big guy) is in your ranks and you want to target it but not kill your teammates. It's not as powerful as the orbital rail but you can use it much more often.
