      ​@@OP10thNakama I wouldnt mind the upgrade to instead of 4 salvos, would decrease the salvo delay to decrease... by that I mean 3 salvos in rapid fire. 3 salvos tend to delete all that you need it to, but most of the times for me specifically is it takes too long to do so. Akin to what happens with 380's

      @@MagralhoPT Less time inbetween salvos would nerf it imo. At least vs bug breaches, where I think it shines to begin with. A single salvo already decimates 90% of enemies where you deploy it. Because of the delay, it allows another wave or two of bugs to come out and get exploded. If it was rapid fire, it would just be an off brand eagle cluster bomb, where the third salvo would be the third wheel that does nothing since the first two already deleted everything.

    The most underrated bug stratagem imo. Throw it directly at your feet as your run away from a horde, clears everything chasing you. Bait a heavy nest's guards to come up, then throw an airburst in the way they're coming out. Throw it on a breach and it'll kill all the fodder that comes out if you know how to time it. Easiest call in pattern in the game.

    • @asdf_asdf948

      @Brokentwobutton 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      ​@@giovannigiorgio231it's consistent to predict. Your ship is in the center of the map. The angle gets steeper as aim goes to the edge and is always coming from center.
      Eagles have a set flight path and drop angle, but it follows your facing. So cluster, airstrike, napalm will always be from one side of your facing to the other, Strafing Run will come from behind you and attack a strip.

  • @GogTheCaveman
    @GogTheCaveman 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Really nice video, I'll add a couple other notes:
    - It can TECHNICALLY destroy bug holes and fabricators if the shrapnel goes straight down the hole, like a grenade. But this almost never happens.
    - I feel like the relevance of your super destroyer location was a bit undersold - if you're not hosting, your super destroyer is a lot further from the center of the map and the angle can get VERY steep. This can hugely affect the spread since if it comes in at a ~30 degree angle and you add ~45 degrees max from the airburst, you might get a 75-degree angle for some shrapnel. Using some trig, assuming it detonates 20 meters above the ground, that could cause shrapnel to travel about 75 meters.
    - Also, I don't think it's necessary to call it in slightly further from enemies if your destroyer is further away - it doesn't work quite like how it's visualized in the video. The super destroyer will aim the shell directly at the beacon, rather than aiming such that the shell detonates in the air directly above the beacon. It basically corrects for you instead of you having to do it yourself.

    The airburst has been a favourite of mine for a long time, but recently I quit using it for bug breaches. I take gatling barrage instead because it lasts longer and the breach is in a small area covered by the whole barrage. I use airburst for bot drops because they come all at once.

  • @FairwellNoob
    @FairwellNoob 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +11

    The orbital airburst actually can kill spore spewers. While it's true the shrapnel and explosion can't, because the spore spewer is AV4 and the shrapnel and explosion is AP3, the projectile (where the payload is dispensed from) is AP7 however. So theoretically you can chuck airbursts after airbursts to destroy a spore spewer (or shrieker nest for that matter) and EVENTUALLY it'll kill it.

    • @Wallbouncing
      @Wallbouncing  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      So you're saying the airburst rocket before it explodes, if it were to make impact with the spore spewer, it would destroy it? I believe that, but I'm rattling my head trying to see how to get it to reach the actual tower without already blowing up from the proximity detonation. Really interesting to think about it so thanks for the comment and appreciate you checking out the video!

    If you’re looking to figure out the “spread pattern”, might I suggest going to a snow or sand planet. The impact craters should - theoretically - be more pronounced.
    With that being said, if you were to reset the mission (by means of Alt+F4), you can go back to the same mission/planet and to the same testing position to determine whether it is a “random spread” vs. “defined spread”.

      Big advantage of airburst is medium armor pen. Clusterbombs aren't particularly good against devastators while airbursts shred them quite easily. You'll also most likely already be carrying the 500 kg bomb or an air strike. It can fudge your eagle rearming timing if you have multiple eagle stratagems.

    • @Lazarultos
      @Lazarultos 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      110 Rocket pods can be unreliable but here's a few tips to make them work.
      1. They're pretty bad on the Bug front unless you're using Stun Grenades. You wanna use them vs. Chargers and Titans and both of them move pretty fast. Stun Chargers first and bait out Titan attacks before you throw it (and throw it as close as possible to them since it has a smaller tracking range than the Railcannon). Even if they survive their armor should be cracked open and you can finish them with medium-pen weapons or another 110 strike.
      2. For Automatons, save these for Tanks, Cannon Towers, and Factory Striders. Tanks are so slow that you will almost always get an easy kill with the 110's on them. Cannon Towers are stationary and the 110's can kill them if you cant reach their weakpoint as long as you toss it at the base of the tower. Factory Striders are also slow and get fucked up by 110's BUT try to take out their top cannon turret first since the 110's might hit the turret and break it while doing zero damage to the Strider. Or just keep tossing 110's to hurt it a lot and finish it off with medium-pen weapons at its weakpoints.
      3. When using 110's on Bot Fabricators, make sure there are ZERO enemies near the building when you throw it. For some reason it will prioritize hitting a basic trooper over a building which can waste the rockets. If the building area is clear though, it should almost always hit the Fabricator dead-on.

    I feel like if the airburst strike has a cooldown roughly around the same as the Gatling barrage instead of 120secs then I'd use it more.
    Not sure if this applies, BUT if you break the top armour of a charger or bile titan THEN use the airburst, due to the explosive damage it should actually damage them significantly like with the gatling barrage.

      Orbital gas strike goes through buildings walls and all sorts of cover. It has AP7 on the impact point so it can destroy bug holes and fabricators. It's also not that deadly to helldivers who can stim to get to safety. Very good utility.

    • @Wallbouncing
      @Wallbouncing  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I think both are really good against bugs. If you're able to really maximize the whole duration of the gas strike you can get more value out of it compared to the airburst since it also has a shorter cooldown. I will say though that people can better recognize the airburst strike than a gas cloud so have that factor into your choice as well. I've had a lot of people just walk into an active gas strike just to see them go through that "oh no" moment, when they start frantically diving back and stimming. Hope that answers your question and thanks for checking out the video!

    for me if the main reason is to use on bug breaches then i would just take the fire grenades. they last longer, hurt even the byle titans a bit, and easy to resupply and use more often. if it could be extended to 4 or 5 waves i would consider it.

    • @FiendLuckless
      @FiendLuckless 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      main reason for me is its a lower cooldown way to deal with crowds that i can set and forget, or stack with other cc stratagems to lock down an area. The explosion being able to hit charger butt (albiet random) can be real nice. Comboing with the fire nades is awesome though because it can kill the super small mobs that might get lucky and weave through shrapnel.

    • @tittletooter
      @tittletooter 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@FiendLuckless I will admit, the fact that it can come off cool down just as fast as the bug tunnel breach cool down allows is pretty convenient for constantly maintaining the severity of the waves. I just feel like it needs a little bit more to make it feel more impactful for me. When you can just use fire nades or even spam, a full clip with an incendiary breaker to kill roughly the same amount it just feels a tad lackluster.

      @MrVelociraptor75 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I've had the same thing happen with eagle clusters (which clearly cannot destroy them either).
      My guess is, that there's some base layouts with other explosives nearby and these strikes can detonate those.
      So, unreliable if that's your intent but, it makes for a nice bonus, since you're throwing it in anyway to clear the chaff

      Mines are for prolonged area denial, not instant burn. You don't want to blow them all up at once. You're talking about using two single use before cooldown stratagems to do what could be done 3 times in a row with one stratagem. Just take napalm eagle strike if you want to do that.

  • @StankyTurtleMK
    @StankyTurtleMK 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Orbitals kinda need a buff, most orbitals are just worse versions of eagles that already exist. Like the airburst just being a worse napalm airstrike. With the napalm killing more than half of the bug breach a good amount of the time. And the airburst usually just killing at most 2 waves of enemies. Maybe make the airburst have another rocket so that you have 4 airbursts.

    • @Wallbouncing
      @Wallbouncing  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I've seen a lot of other comments talking about the orbital needing another airburst. I do think the orbital is great as is, but to make it a more competitive choice amongst the rest of our tools, an additional rocket would make it a more appealing pick (esp at higher difficulties).

      Absolutely. Eagle Air Strikes give you 3 charges, offers a very respectable armor penetration, has a much more predictable and wide range of attack, and is more forgiving if you miss since you only have to wait 5-10 seconds between stratagems (assuming you still have a charge left)

    • @legendarycheekymonkey
      @legendarycheekymonkey 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I like the eagle airstrike a lot but need to re-arm if using more than one eagle, airburst is infinite use but has a couple of minutes between uses, which is around the same time as re-arm. I usually take both. Sometimes I'll take napalm strike instead of airstrike and/or airburst if I want a slot for something else. I find it very hard to make my mind up sometimes, do I want to crowd control, take buildings out or both. Decisions decisions.

      This is just factually incorrect. The only stratagems to ever have that short of a cooldown to my knowledge are the EATs, EMS strike, and gas strike. According to patch notes, my own memory, and basically everything else I could find online, Airburst strike has never been changed directly. There are multiple upgrades and mission modifiers which reduce or increase the cooldown, but only the negative modifiers have been changed, and it was in favor of the divers. Maybe you were thinking of this?

    • @Lazarultos
      @Lazarultos 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      This is just straight up false. It was never at a 70 second cooldown. As far as I know it was never touched in any of the updates since launch.
      It always had a longer cooldown than Gatling Barrage and Gas Strike to differentiate it and to balance out its wider kill area.
      At 120 second cooldown, you're still gonna be able to call it on every single bug breach that happens, which is where it is most effective anyway, so it's perfectly viable in its current state.
      Wouldn't mind an extra 4th shot with the More Guns upgrade though.

    If you’re looking to figure out the “spread pattern”, might I suggest going to a snow or sand planet. The impact craters should - theoretically - be more pronounced.
    With that being said, if you were to reset the mission (by means of Alt+F4), you can go back to the same mission/planet and to the same testing position to determine whether it is a “random spread” vs. “defined spread”.
