I personally just go all fire with bugs. I love my Incendiary Breaker and I run Flamethrower, Good ol' Eagle Napalm, OPS, and I bring a supply pack to keep the fire going. That said, I'm crowd control so... I rely heavily on my team mates to A) Not stand in the way of my fire and B) to pick heavy weapons like the Spear, Autocannon, or Commando for big problems like Charges and BTs. Although, I usually dive with friends, so we pretty much all kinda have our "roles" when we go on Terminid missions. Although, I've been loving the HMG so much lately, especially on Automaton dives. I am definitely becoming an HMG lover when the enemies to democracy shoot back.
Hey there, I know a pro gamer like you probably isn’t looking for advice, but have you considered swapping out the precision strike in your load out for the commando instead. As you’ve mentioned before, on higher difficulties with the orbital scatter modifier, your orbital strikes can become pretty unreliable. But with the commando you get basically the same outcome you would get from a precision strike (destroying and objective or killing an enemy) but obviously more reliable. The only downsides I can think of right off the bat is that you would have to drop your support weapon and come back for it, and that you would likely have to manually aim for weak points on some enemies. Just saying it’s gotta be better than just praying that your precision strike might hit something.
I've been using the commando a bit today in a random loadout video, ops has a better cooldown and often the commando can't even kill a charger with 4x volley to the front. So for bots, sure yeah, I could take out multiple fabricators. But for bugs I think it's not a great choice and any other launcher is a better idea
Ah I see, I haven’t tested it out on bugs yet, so I just assumed that from its ability to take out some of the stronger bot units like tanks that it would be just as good on the bugs. But in any case I’m just glad that we got a new stratagem that might actually make some people want to shake up their loadouts.

lol yeah I just went and did some testing on the eliminate charger missions on the lower difficulties and I definitely see what you mean.
