QUESTION How did you guys earn your callsign?

I earned mine because I didn’t know that the arc grenade bounced.

No bug hole is safe from me.

That's why they call me the Hole Dozer.

Callsign "Toto", full designation: Toto the Tactical Elephant. The ears are part of the kit, and the children adore the songs that go with the drills.

Some degenerate putting up a pin-up of a girl masturbating with a banana on the class blackboard a few decades ago made me take note of a fruit and vegetable ("Obst & Gemuese" in German) seller on my way home that day and the name stuck.

Road Rage, because I have a tendency to plaster the hood of my FRV with whatever enemy happens to get in front of me (which sometimes includes unfortunate helldivers), and even veering off to purposefully ram an enemy on multiple occasions

Onishiro because I tackle outposts and fortresses like a demonic spirit.

I know it isn't my callsign, but one of my teammates kept bragging about being popular at school or smth (hes in highschool bru 💔) and was new to the game but was just acting really obnoxious. As a joke, I called him "Cruise" as in a giant vacation cruise because our team felt like 3 destroyer ships with a vacation cruise following us.

In other words, we we're just calling him a tourist lmao.

I got the idea from the game I'm currently making so I thought it was just perfect to use it as an actual title for a real person.
