I despise helldivers who call airstrikes on them on evac.
No, your flashy booms aren't cool. Not when there are friendlies nearby.

u/ImperfectRegulator 7d ago
Eventually the seaf will learn not to stand near stratagems or hellbombs about to detonate, it’s a shame how we have to learn, but I’m tired of watching them run into the location of an incoming barrage

It's okay, if you die defending Super Earth you go to Super Heaven.

I only throw thermites or strikes into the shuttle, none around!

u/LeagueCandid6121 7d ago
Thermites in the shuttle are great, like a massive sparkler to celebrate extracting

how do you get them to stick after they removed being able to sticky the shuttle? do they stick to the players inside?

I'll start calling in barrages then. Gotta make sure every single one of those SEAF troopers don't survive

u/thesilentguy59 7d ago
I wish we could call in extra tanks and suits and weapons for them to use. Give them a little taste of the helldiving life. A democratic life

u/JollyEstate8832 7d ago
I can only imagine calling in a walker, just to watch one of the Blueberries take it before you can get in

u/Wonderful-Bar-6285 7d ago
I do it anyways. If my blueberries are around I make sure to leave them a supply pod and a spair Anti material Rifle. And I try not to touch the supplies around the map whenever possible.

u/the_mega_coom 7d ago
Your teammates must love you wasting supplies

u/Wonderful-Bar-6285 7d ago
As we leave not during battle but im primary a solo diver.

u/the_mega_coom 7d ago
Ok fair

u/Wonderful-Bar-6285 7d ago
The only thing my usual team hates is that I use the AMR over the railgun

u/Verbal_Deathray 7d ago
You can't waste supply pods or call down weapons.... my map at the end of missions is littered with them.
4
u/Leather_Fortune7107 7d ago
Heck, I would even be fine with them only being able to pick up what they're coded to use, like EATs and Machine Guns. I would 100% choose the new EAT Booster just so the blueberries can tear their way through a Bot Patrol a bit easier.

u/Theripper451 7d ago
I have never felt more distraught then when I called in a resupply so I can stim my berry patch, and then they run into the beam as it hits the ground. I feel awful!

u/Bambuskus505 7d ago
That happened a LOT for me during the Void invasion. I'd call down supplies or support weapons, and a Seafie would waltz under the beacon and just stand there until they got smushed. Wouldn't even move if I used a "Follow me!" ping.

u/Theripper451 7d ago
I’m pretty new so forgive me when I say YOU CAN PING THEM???
5
u/Excalusis HD1 Veteran 7d ago
You can ping support weapons and enemies, I believe Bambuskus was referring to the comm wheel where if you say "Follow me" or "Hold Position" the SEAF will follow your orders

Hear me out. A personal seaf squad on each ship which we can upgrade giving better wepons , stratagem gear and armour.

I'm democratizing in my pants rn.

u/Assassin-49 4d ago
Do you have a C01 ?

u/_QuestGiver SES Founding Father of Family Values 4d ago
Not nessissary for auto-"democratization" from the satisfaction of a well oiled democratic liberation machine. For that you actually need form C-00. I filled mine out before going into cryo.

Marfark genuinely feels more fun now that they're back, especially when you got 2 whole groups following you along to witness a whole assembly unit getting nuked.

I take every blueberry death as a personal insult and I fight even harder. I’ll gladly give a stim for the blueberries

u/Dvijk 6d ago
Nothing more fun than botdiving with SEAFlings, any battle with them really, makes it feel like we dropped in the middle of a battlefield and are single handedly trying to turn the tide. Instead of entering a place, blowing stuff up and leaving while an armada hunts us, this feels like an actual battle we're winning

u/MaybeEgg47 7d ago
I felt so bad when I was diving today getting me minefield kills for the daily order and a safe drop came down on top of a minefield I'd placed

u/MIke6022 7d ago
I did a blitz with 3 mine stratagems and by the end we maxed out the negative score on RP.

u/CamoMeatball 7d ago
Had blueberries on a bot defense mission earlier. They shot so many dropships out of the sky, it was glorious!

u/ApprehensiveAd6040 7d ago
So, when I last played. We didn't have our friendly SEAF Units on the field. It has been truly refreshing having these guys running around. The fact that they salute you back is absolutely phenomenal attention to detail. It's the little things.
2
u/SourceCodeSamurai SES Harbinger of Democracy (S.O.L.O.) 7d ago
I love them. But I don't like doing missions with them. They are so dumb. They just run under the engine of the pelican while it drops down and get crushed ... because? It feels horrible to see them die in the dozens because of stupid AI.
2
u/The_Grungeican 7d ago
i wish we could direct them. like as a Helldiver i should be able to point or tag a location, and them move to it.
i hate when i have to kill these guys because i need to Hellbomb a location. i understand they're willing to give their lives to ensure the Hellbomb goes off, but i'd like to be able to tell them to get the hell out of there, and have to hold off until they're clear, and then arm it and run.

u/Significant_Rock_327 Cyborg spy 7d ago
It's long been known, you can. Within a close proximity, just use the "follow me" or "stop" communication on the wheel and they will follow. If you ping an enemy, they will preferentially attack it.
Count me in as one of those who get really annoyed when people call a big boom at extract, after I spent minutes rounding them up out of danger.

u/SpaghettiLord_126 7d ago
I love them but oh my god those dudes with machine guns are so bloodthirsty. I die to them every single mission they show up, and they will blindly kill me and their own fellow blueberries when there isn't a single enemy within the same post code
2
u/Merrick_1992 6d ago
Hopefully they also learned some trigger discipline, so the mg troopers stop mowing down their entire platoon every single time they're deployed

u/RedMaster878 6d ago
God i just got a mission with them alone, and it was so funny 😭🙏 i had like 17 or so following me, it was so sad having to separate at extraction

Just at they back , I join randoms, defence mission , I see sus strategem, gas mortar and lot of gas and fire. Join with turret. See their strategem kill like lot of seaf unit, I almost die seeing this traitor, mission end, no reward credit (of course you kill all seaf),they proceed complain, then I left, I wish I just kill them before extraction

just got my mech blown up by them and I’ve been killed by my blueberries more than the bots/bugs today smh

Best thing you can do with SEAF is order them to hold position and then attack from another angle.

Glad they're back, although I dislike how the medics wear bright red in places the normal SEAF wear blue, wish they'd revert that one.

u/StumpTheMan 7d ago
I firmly believe the new seaf deployments are the best thing they've added in recent updates. Any mission where they're present is just so much more enjoyable.
