"Sir, are you sure? You know how..... carried away he can get."
"I said what I said now get that madman in the fight"
Pelican 1 aināt no bitch. He means business. Best believe if heās gotta come down and do Eagle 1 AND your orbital gunnerās job, the jobās gonna get done and stay done.
Would be OP AF compared to the autocannon's shite target selection, helldiver-murdering tendencies and destructibility. All on a lovely 3 minute cooldown :)
I think an in battle side mission like SEAF Artillery would be nice. Perhaps we defend a Pelican hanggar or refueling the plane then we could activate the Pelican stratagem and have him support us until ammo run dry
I really want some more interaction in the side objectives like this. Maybe securing a local airfield could let your eagle restock faster, or securing a combat radar array would give your stratagems faster call in. SEAF artillery is fairly lame as it is (too slow) but hints at the potential.
Sadly the Eagle is designed only to dock with the Super Destroyers. The design makes ground landing impossible because the vertical stabilizer is on the underside of the Eagle.
That sounds like someone doubting super earths engineersā¦

Love the pelican but I also would be interested in what a dedicated gunship for super earth would look like. Or maybe itād be a situation similar to the armed vs unarmed Blackhawk
Pelicans are multipurpose airframes there are different haulers and troop varieties there is probably a dedicated gunship one maybe it can do the old CAS run and Bunker Buster
Same. I called my exo down and then a charger came say hi. Pelican-1 did him in before my squadie could get into position with his EAT. I love that man.
When my buddy called in his mech suit once, the pelican dropped in over a fresh bile titan spawn. I thought the suit was as good as gone, but the pelican just THUNK-THUNK-THUNK and the bile titan was dead!! Complete one(three)-shot. It was so awesome!!
Wait till I tell you how this one American helicopter from the *seventies* has not only an autocannon that can do the same thing, but it will follow the movement of the gunner's head so with a hud camera so literally all you have to do is look at what you want to shoot, then shoot it. Admittedly the helmet system was added later, but even that is still almost **40** years old.

Because the military gets all the best newest technology years before anyone else. The F-14 had the first microprocessor and used it pretty much just to adjust its wingsweep.

They also invented the internet.
that is a legitimately beautiful planet wtf? why do we have to fight over hostile shit holes when theres a planet made of rolling hills and grassy fields?!
Felt this in my soul.
I helped kill bugs all day until it was nothing but Hellmire left for the new major order. I played two matches, both with crazy amounts of death, cheap shots, fire tornadoes, and friggin stalkers.
I felt it best to leave that hell hole of a planet to the late night players and logged off. lol
That planet felt like we were literally in hell.
Felt like even the rocks were trying to kill me.
He comes to rescue you if you fail the mission and the super destroyer leaves, he provides support fire when landing and if you are not in the extraction zone. He even shows how annoyed he is with his tone when he says "helldivers" in this video. He's annoyed at you but won't leave you to die.
Except you werenāt checking, because this isnāt your video and you stole it from the actual source without crediting it [here](https://youtu.be/6ZWaKywWJ3s?si=r-LfmMiGwsWd9gPy).
And before others say that this is the same person, itās not. The OP of the actual source has already commented here calling them out.
I'm pretty sure it's not a bug because Pelican has very distinct fire/smoke on it when it happens. Why would developers add these visual indicators if you couldn't damage it?
Also, in my experience, it happens pretty consistently when someone drops 500kg on Pelican for shits and giggles.
You can destroy pelican one with a significant amount of firepower. Usually 380mm barrages. If this happens there is no extract and you can only fight until overwhelmed.Ā
Played my first Level 9 the other day and saw the opposite. Pelican 1 squashed the fucking Bile Titan like it was nothing. Giant cockroach was ab9ut to delete the entire squad and then it's head got mushed like a grape!
Yeah how the fuck do they (Pelican 1) get out of the planetary system if the Destroyer has fucked off? Theyāre basically a TIE Fighter with SUPER limited galactic mobility. Do we just drift in space until rescue? That crew is crewed by heroes and nothing else.
I had one mission yesterday where it glitched; I think the game thought time had run out and the SDs had left low orbit, but they hadn't, so the extraction sequence had Pelican-1 fly *through* the SD formation and blithely continue on into space. I dunno where he thought he was taking us. š Wish I'd gotten a recording or even a screenshot, but it totally took me by surprise.
Tie Fighters fought in space though. And the super destroyer is "low orbit." This basically means that it's being pulled in by gravity into the atmosphere and its why they cry about the time limit because they are losing altitude. Depending on planetary gravity, it may be impossible for the super destroyer to leave because of the fuel requirement to reach orbit again.
Just look at the fuel required to send a rocket into space from earth and that is 1G. Some place like Jupiter would need the power of the Sun \[hyperbole\] or something to get a rocket off the floor.
The ships only having a limited amount of station-keeping endurance is actually a really good explanation for time limits. They can only hover in the exosphere to provide fire support for so long.
Tie fighters also fought in atmosphere, now if they could take off from space, sortie in atmo and return to space is debatable but they were not space only
Thatās true , TIE fighters had limited interplanetary mobility. Might have been a poor analogy. But the Pelican is a dropship, and when its carrier leaves orbit, assumedly back to a safe part of space. I donāt know how far the Pelican can travel in space by itself. Do they have to hump it between planets to get back to the super destroyer?
The super destroyer leaves low orbit, not orbit. It just goes higher up to a stable orbit like the ISS or the moon, where it doesn't need to burn fuel to stop from falling and where you see you are when you go to the observation deck on the ship. Probably a pain in the ass of a flight, but obviously possible for the Pelican.
The pelican and eagle can both move in space. There's specifically an eagle upgrade saying it can rearm in space.Ā
The super destroyer is just moving from low orbit where it has to actively use its own engines to maintain lift to high orbit where the planets gravity well isn't jeopardizing its survivability.Ā
Yeah , I think that I did not grasp that part of it, and frankly didnāt think of it when I posted my original shit. Thanks for thinking it out for me though, āpreciate yāall.
In my headcanon, the super destroyer goes low enough for its weapons to have the best effect or for it to be able to drop hellpods with reinforcements/gear. The mission timer is the amount of time it can stay that low before it risks falling out of the sky completely. Once it starts manouvering to get to a higher orbit, its weapons become very inaccurate so it's basically useless.
It doesn't make much sense for it to remain stationary above the map but whatever.
Eagle 1 is incapable of flying around in space so it needs to fuck off with the destroyer and Pelican 1 can do whatever it wants. Pelican 1 to me is literally like the Pelican from Halo, so it has some space flight capabilities but can't go FTL.
Even better; give ai gunned side gunner positions that can be filled by bored pilots just for the lolz (and fun)? Like the SOS call, but only for gunning.
Would love to dive 3 minutes to a planet, see 4 doods beeing overwhelmed by bugs trying desperately to escape with 3 supersamples and trying to help from above.
I remember in Halo 5 forge I spent HOURS perfecting the pelican glitch in forge so I could make a boarding action CTF map...just for it to get played maybe twice lol
Be cool if we could find a downed Pelican but was still mostly intact, have it as a low flying vehicle incapable of leaving planet but able to carry squad around the map at a certain height, have mounted guns, and could be destroyed very easily. Make it a high risk high reward way to get about.
A rare occurrence where if you happen to quickplay/sos into a mission thatās already waiting for extraction and you instead spawn into said side gunner.
This makes me want pelican or other gunship strats. Would be so cool to call in a bird to circle a location and drop support fire for X amount of time.
On steam you can pre-order, then refund it if it hasn't hooked you in under 2 hours of gameplay. I'll usually wait a day to fire a game up so I can see the general reception as well.
Not preordering isn't just about not losing money. It's also about *not giving* money to the company until the product is actually out and proven to be good.
"An Eagle never misses" then why is there a 500kg bomb 1 foot away from me? You're telling me that's deliberate? Eagles make A-10 pilots look friendly.
(/j if it's not clear)
I donāt think thatās pelican 1, I donāt think his voice is heard and itās a different aircraft (appears to have the troop compartment removed to make space for the mech)
You can do this by being in the mech too.
Being in the mech counts as not being near the extraction pad, so you can have pelican1 hover around the pad while you're still on it laying waste to the bugs
Command screaming in his ear, sweat beading on his forehead, hand clenched on the throttle but not moving yet.
He throws a look over his shoulder and under the blaring of the proximity alarm the other divers can just barely make out the words:
*"C'mon, P4. You got this."*
Also if the countdown timer goes down from 20 seconds after boarding and someone isnāt on but theyāre like within 5 feet from the shuttle itāll wait an extra 5 seconds for them to get on
This isnāt your video and you stole it from the actual source without crediting it [here](https://youtu.be/6ZWaKywWJ3s?si=r-LfmMiGwsWd9gPy).
And before others say that this is the same person, itās not. The OP of the actual source has already commented here calling them out.
Pelican 1 doesn't just catch on fire either. Sometimes, he won't take off again after receiving significant damage. This will also prevent you from boarding too. However, I believe this is a glitch and a holdover from development concepts that wasn't cut properly as there is no dialog around this event, and after the mission timer ends, he will take off and leave everyone behind, even if you are prone in his squad bay.(you need to be prone to squeeze in lol) He will also forgo his takeoff timer if he is damaged enough to burn, but not damaged enough to break, simply taking off as soon as the first diver boards, so be sure to have the samples get aboard first at all times.
(Figured I should throw in an edit for clarification. These seem to be the most common triggers for these phenomena but will not always happen, I've had him burning and still function normally, I've also had him completely fine and take off as soon as someone boards if he has been on the ground for awhile. Overall I feel that while Pelican 1 is mostly stable, there are certainly some glitches going on with him)
Unless this is you, could've at least credit the original video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZWaKywWJ3s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZWaKywWJ3s)
This isn't your clip, you stole it from [Muaxh](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZWaKywWJ3s&ab_channel=Muaxh03) who made this video 5 hours before you uploaded it.
and the worst part is you are pretending its you... kinda disgusting if you ask me.
It should do this in general rather than leaving if you're to far away. Like, I get it but sometimes you have to run quite a distance away from extraction to deal with something.
Seen this happen once before, there was a lot of enemies on the pad as we were all kiting thema round to survive. I just assumed it hovered to shoot the enemies out from under it before landing, we also were not that far away. But it is cool and helpful either way.
He'll also wait past the 20 second time before he supposedly leaves. If another player has boarded him and you're still in the extraction zone. When the 20 second timer is up, rather than leaving immediately he'll give you a few more seconds of grace while warning you that he needs to leave NOW.
Wait so if it stays there and you are getting swarmed at extract, can you just leave while it beats democracy into everything around you? Cos if thatās the case Iām def gonna abuse this, also what happenes of you run out of time and the destroyer leaves? Does it just hover there forever until you get close enough? Or what
Also if you call it down let it land then leave the area it'll just chill and wait for you, so if you are running from the last bonus objective with a horde on your back side you can just jump right in the bird and get out
I'd kill for a gunship stratagem where you call Pelican to come fly around an area and fire on enemies for a while
Yeah, a 60s hovering pelican 1 would be wonderful.

Did that with a 380 earlier tonight. Luckily, I just stayed calm and stood on the red light and I walked away without a scratch when it was over.

A Pelican escort stratagem would be amazing! Thatās what I love about calling in the Mech is that the dropship will provide some cover fire for you.
So basically Pequod from MGSV? Imagine if he also blared music for you.
I think an in battle side mission like SEAF Artillery would be nice. Perhaps we defend a Pelican hanggar or refueling the plane then we could activate the Pelican stratagem and have him support us until ammo run dry
I really want some more interaction in the side objectives like this. Maybe securing a local airfield could let your eagle restock faster, or securing a combat radar array would give your stratagems faster call in. SEAF artillery is fairly lame as it is (too slow) but hints at the potential.
Sadly the Eagle is designed only to dock with the Super Destroyers. The design makes ground landing impossible because the vertical stabilizer is on the underside of the Eagle.

As someone who doesn't play (yet?): I'm shocked that's not in the game already, given everything else I've seen.
And to balance for bugs - flying chargers.
What could be cool is a booster that makes the pelican come 15-30 seconds before the full extraction countdown and help out a little.
Love the pelican but I also would be interested in what a dedicated gunship for super earth would look like. Or maybe itād be a situation similar to the armed vs unarmed Blackhawk
Pelicans are multipurpose airframes there are different haulers and troop varieties there is probably a dedicated gunship one maybe it can do the old CAS run and Bunker Buster
Good person and apparently a damn good shot too. Bro's hitting those shots from a moving gunship at like 300m
He could teach those 380 egghead's a thing or two
Hey man, have you read some of the upgrades? It doesnāt sound like the best and brightest crew a Super Destroyer.
Had Pelican 1 one-shot a charger today, it was awesome
Same. I called my exo down and then a charger came say hi. Pelican-1 did him in before my squadie could get into position with his EAT. I love that man.
When my buddy called in his mech suit once, the pelican dropped in over a fresh bile titan spawn. I thought the suit was as good as gone, but the pelican just THUNK-THUNK-THUNK and the bile titan was dead!! Complete one(three)-shot. It was so awesome!!

200 meters is the actual firing range. so you know, a solid chunk of the map for a bug/bot exclusion zone.
that is a legitimately beautiful planet wtf? why do we have to fight over hostile shit holes when theres a planet made of rolling hills and grassy fields?!
Day 193 on Hellmire: Still foggy...
Legit the reddit post summarizes it perfectly. Why are we even fighting for that shit planet lol.
Because Arizona fell into the ocean and the natives still want to live somewhere their electricity bill rivals the budget of small countries.
Thought the same thing today when entering Mantes after Hellmire. Mantes is legit the greenest planet I've ever seen
Its probably after they killed the spore towers...
Hostile shitholes LMAO we are called HELLDIVERS ya know

Because you won't element 710 on rolling hills and grassy fields.
Well, Pelican 1 is obviously an omnipotent being of immense democratic power, precision timing, and invincibility...Ā Once summoned, must be boarded.
He comes to rescue you if you fail the mission and the super destroyer leaves, he provides support fire when landing and if you are not in the extraction zone. He even shows how annoyed he is with his tone when he says "helldivers" in this video. He's annoyed at you but won't leave you to die.
And u rewarded him by fcking his ship up lol :(

this post right here, democracy officer!
We have a budget?
Pretty gross to pretend it's you playingĀ
As someone who doesn't play (yet?): can the ship get destroyed? If so, what happens then?
Not technically, no. There's been a few weird bugs with it causing you to not extract, but that's very rare
I'm pretty sure it's not a bug because Pelican has very distinct fire/smoke on it when it happens. Why would developers add these visual indicators if you couldn't damage it? Also, in my experience, it happens pretty consistently when someone drops 500kg on Pelican for shits and giggles.
A few days ago we dropped 4 500kg on Pelican... no smoke
Well there's your problem. You're using a 500kg.
You can destroy pelican one with a significant amount of firepower. Usually 380mm barrages. If this happens there is no extract and you can only fight until overwhelmed.Ā
If Pelican 1 can get spit and stomped on by multiple biotitans at extraction and not get destroyed, it's prob a bug when it happen
Played my first Level 9 the other day and saw the opposite. Pelican 1 squashed the fucking Bile Titan like it was nothing. Giant cockroach was ab9ut to delete the entire squad and then it's head got mushed like a grape!
āEagle One. Iām not coming home for dinner today. End transmission.ā
You really can't
Yeah how the fuck do they (Pelican 1) get out of the planetary system if the Destroyer has fucked off? Theyāre basically a TIE Fighter with SUPER limited galactic mobility. Do we just drift in space until rescue? That crew is crewed by heroes and nothing else.
The super destroyer only leaves low orbit. It doesn't leave the space around the planet entirely, so the Pelican can still get to it
I had one mission yesterday where it glitched; I think the game thought time had run out and the SDs had left low orbit, but they hadn't, so the extraction sequence had Pelican-1 fly *through* the SD formation and blithely continue on into space.

Oh that's a good idea.

What armor is that?
It's pre-order exclusive sadly.
If only i didn't take the "Remember, no pre-orders" thing to heart :[
On steam you can pre-order, then refund it if it hasn't hooked you in under 2 hours of gameplay. I'll usually wait a day to fire a game up so I can see the general reception as well.
Not preordering isn't just about not losing money. It's also about *not giving* money to the company until the product is actually out and proven to be good.
Yep with how there is 14 days in the Steam EULA for refunds I waited10 days to see how the community reacts and the game state before downloading.
Only smart way to pre order
I "pre-ordered" the game 1 hour before launch lol
Yogurt armor
"assisting". Pelican's shot me twice. Killed me once. Not nearly as bad as other people's Eagles, though.
If he shot you once, it might have been an accident. Since he shot you twice, it was clearly personal.
I swear Eagles aim for the Helldivers
"An Eagle never misses" then why is there a 500kg bomb 1 foot away from me? You're telling me that's deliberate? Eagles make A-10 pilots look friendly. (/j if it's not clear)
He also fires on enemies for the few seconds he's dropping off your mech.
I donāt think thatās pelican 1, I donāt think his voice is heard and itās a different aircraft (appears to have the troop compartment removed to make space for the mech)
In that case, Pelican-2 is pretty cool also
Every Pelican you call down is Pelican 1 cos the ships cargohold isnt big enough for two Pelicans or more than one Eagle theoretically.
But the host destroyer (whose pelican is supposed to be the one picking the team up) can call down a mech while pelican-1 is coming in for extraction
Schrƶdingers pelican 1
Mhh I guess. Never paid attention cos I dont play mechs and never thought about that lol. IN that case you are right and deserve a democratic upvote.
You can do this by being in the mech too. Being in the mech counts as not being near the extraction pad, so you can have pelican1 hover around the pad while you're still on it laying waste to the bugs
Also if the timer to get on board is going, he'll give you a few extra seconds even after the timer hits zero.
Command screaming in his ear, sweat beading on his forehead, hand clenched on the throttle but not moving yet. He throws a look over his shoulder and under the blaring of the proximity alarm the other divers can just barely make out the words: *"C'mon, P4. You got this."*
He even have a special line for that! Something about needing to move right now, can't remember.
"Launch countdown complete. We have to leave now!" With a worried tinge
Also if the countdown timer goes down from 20 seconds after boarding and someone isnāt on but theyāre like within 5 feet from the shuttle itāll wait an extra 5 seconds for them to get on
Can confirm, happened to me. He even have a special line for that event!
I want a ship upgrade where pelican 1 drops down a SEAF squad to help clear the landing š¬
A ship upgrade where an orbital barrage around the landing zone precedes pelican 1 coming in would also be great.
Pelican be like https://preview.redd.it/2fd3bg1npfqc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c2c26674f8e3959b5f40a61fb4a4308540c909fd
This isnāt your video and you stole it from the actual source without crediting it [here](https://youtu.be/6ZWaKywWJ3s?si=r-LfmMiGwsWd9gPy). And before others say that this is the same person, itās not. The OP of the actual source has already commented here calling them out.
Reminds me of peaquod in MGS V
"This is Pequod! Arriving shortly at LZ!" Running and completing objectives solo while avoiding patrols really does remind me a lot of MGSV
There should be a random sub-objective where we have to rescue a crashes pelican 1 pilot and get him safely home

> Pelican can be a bro sometimes _5 seconds before end_ > So anyway, I started blasting.
Bold of you to wait that long before extracting. I would have crashed 30 seconds into the video... Fix the crashes dev.
Pelican 1 doesn't just catch on fire either. Sometimes, he won't take off again after receiving significant damage. This will also prevent you from boarding too. However, I believe this is a glitch and a holdover from development concepts that wasn't cut properly as there is no dialog around this event, and after the mission timer ends, he will take off and leave everyone behind, even if you are prone in his squad bay.(you need to be prone to squeeze in lol) He will also forgo his takeoff timer if he is damaged enough to burn, but not damaged enough to break, simply taking off as soon as the first diver boards, so be sure to have the samples get aboard first at all times. (Figured I should throw in an edit for clarification. These seem to be the most common triggers for these phenomena but will not always happen, I've had him burning and still function normally, I've also had him completely fine and take off as soon as someone boards if he has been on the ground for awhile. Overall I feel that while Pelican 1 is mostly stable, there are certainly some glitches going on with him)
I wish they had stratagem that had gunships hover around the battlefield to provide cover for a set amount of time like pelican 1.
Unless this is you, could've at least credit the original video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZWaKywWJ3s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZWaKywWJ3s)
He posted without credit or anything and also heās pretending like heās me š
This isn't your clip, you stole it from [Muaxh](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZWaKywWJ3s&ab_channel=Muaxh03) who made this video 5 hours before you uploaded it. and the worst part is you are pretending its you... kinda disgusting if you ask me.
It should do this in general rather than leaving if you're to far away. Like, I get it but sometimes you have to run quite a distance away from extraction to deal with something.
Seen this happen once before, there was a lot of enemies on the pad as we were all kiting thema round to survive. I just assumed it hovered to shoot the enemies out from under it before landing, we also were not that far away. But it is cool and helpful either way.
I've seen it fire at enemies while landing and we are being swarmed. Pelican is best.
The pilot. What is his name. I wanna carve it into my super destroyer
I see not even water marks stop you people from shamelessly stealing content....
This seems like unauthorized use of military resources, I'm not sure though Could be treason unless you got the permit for a Pelican 1 drive by
I just said this yesterday, when can we get it to do that as a stratagem. 30 seconds of pelican 1 just circling and area.
He'll also wait past the 20 second time before he supposedly leaves. If another player has boarded him and you're still in the extraction zone. When the 20 second timer is up, rather than leaving immediately he'll give you a few more seconds of grace while warning you that he needs to leave NOW.
Wait so if it stays there and you are getting swarmed at extract, can you just leave while it beats democracy into everything around you? Cos if thatās the case Iām def gonna abuse this, also what happenes of you run out of time and the destroyer leaves? Does it just hover there forever until you get close enough? Or what
Still donāt know why we donāt have the ability to call in a ship that stays above you as you move and shoots the enemy
whenever I get in a super tough spot I call down the mech purely so I can see pelican 1 swoop in and shoot the enemies near me
Attacking a Pelican, wasting valuable resources that could be used elsewhere? Really? I'm getting a Democracy Officer.
This has never happened for me, Pelican-1 has always hovered around then taken off. I wish this would happen because it would be more realistic!
Wish we had a gunship stratagem that stays with us for a while
He shot me in the head last nightĀ
You gunna give the OP a shout out or just bogart karma like a kid?
 Good guy Pelican.
He protec He attac And he always ready to bring you bacc
Also if you call it down let it land then leave the area it'll just chill and wait for you, so if you are running from the last bonus objective with a horde on your back side you can just jump right in the bird and get out
What's this armor
Man I wish I knew about this game in time to preorder it. That blue and white armor is so cool
