Eagle



The Eagle Fighter is a multi-role aerospace craft used by the Super Earth Armed Forces, often deployed under Helldiver Command to perform atmospheric operations.

It is capable of aerospace superiority fighter operations, as well as performing precision ground attack operations in support of Helldiver surface missions.

The Eagle's ordnance payload is modular and can include a variety of direct fire cannons, guided missiles, or various guided bombs. However, loiter duration, flight performance envelope, and rearming time can vary significantly depending on the type of weapon load delivered to the target area.

Helldivers 2
In Helldivers 2, the Eagle Fighter appears in a more direct role. The Offensive stratagems tied to the Eagle Fighter are now specified as being deployed from it, and is provided with its own Hangar in the Super Destroyer along with its own Ship Module upgrade path.

All Eagle stratagems have a limited number of uses, after which the Eagle must rearm itself in order to replenish its stratagems. During this rearming period (150 seconds by default), no Eagle stratagems are available for usage.

Stratagems

 * Eagle Strafing Run: "A strafing run of the battlefield to clear small targets, delivered almost instantly."
 * Eagle Airstrike: "A barrage of bombs creating a non-targeted carpet of explosions."
 * Eagle Cluster Bomb: "A targeted air strike unable to destroy buildings, but efficient at clearing smaller targets."
 * Eagle Napalm Strike: "A barrage of napalm bombs, creating a wall of fire which will stop the enemy in their tracks."
 * Eagle Smoke Strike: "A barrage of smoke grenades, creating a thick smoke screen to block enemies' line of sight."
 * Eagle 110mm Rocket Pods: "A barrage of rocket pods, which the Eagle pilot will release on the largest target near the strategem beacon."
 * Eagle 500kg Bomb: "A large bomb obliterating almost any target close to impact. Make sure to clear the area."
 * Eagle Rearm: Sends the Eagle back to the Destroyer to replenish its stratagems, temporarily disabling the usage of all Eagle stratagems.
 * Note: Eagle Rearm is automatically equipped if any Eagle stratagems are equipped, and does not take a slot. It does not use a stratagem beacon, and will trigger immediately upon input. It will also trigger automatically if all Eagle stratagems are depleted.

Ship Module Upgrades
Liquid-Ventilated Cockpit: "Fills cockpit with breathable liquid perfluorocarbons, which absorb g-forces and thereby enable pilots to conduct tighter turns without losing consciousness." Pit Crew Hazard Pay: "Authorizes hazard pay for pit crews, allowing them to reload the Eagle Fighter in-spaceflight." Expanded Weapons Bay: "Trims excess leg space in the cockpit, allowing the Eagle to carry additional payloads."
 * Effect: Cooldown time for Eagle stratagems reduced by 50%.
 * Effect: Eagle Rearm time reduced by 20%. (30 seconds by default.)
 * Effect: All Eagle stratagems have one additional use.
