  1. How the fuck does one not realize the game is satire? It's like Starship Troopers dialed to eleven. The praise is intentionally fake. It's suggesting that the Super Earth military churns out poorly trained recruits with an extremely high casualty rate, then covers that with praise and hype. Super Earth is what it would be like if the American military industrial complex controlled our development as a species for hundreds of years. It's actually kind of well thought out, although not really told to the player explicitly. But the way the whole Galactic War is framed is bizarre. When you start thinking about the war in general and its logistics, you understand the narrative. Why are there entire destroyer-class ships with support crew assigned to these quickly trained recruits? And why are there so many of them and not capital ships like cruisers or carriers? Because the entire war is a moneymaking scheme for defense contractors. This is intentionally designed to be the most expensive and wasteful way to wage war, to prolong the war, and thus the money flow, for as long as possible. Coincidentally, a lot of these goals also align with that of making a fun game, because Helldivers are supposed to be appealing for recruitment, and giving them tons of expensive toys to play with is good for business and morale. Also, at one point, the bridge officer comments that the Terminids were former livestock. So in other words, a problem likely caused by the Super Earth government. The Automotons are likely a similar situation. These are problems intentionally caused by the government to create a legitimate-seeming excuse for war.

  2.  @leonrussell9607  What I mean is that there should be more capital ships. The amount of money that would go into a destroyer for each Helldiver is astronomical.

  3.  @ॐIo  Nah, the Covenant are a theocratic hierarchical empire that destroys humanity because of religious reasons. Super Earth is like 1984's IngSoc mixed with Starship Troopers. I'm fairly certain the war is an excuse for profiteering by the arms and defense contractors. That's why it is waged in such an absurdly expensive and wasteful way.
