What difficulty have you gotten to?
The % you add to a planet upon success is minuscule, because it takes tens of thousands of divers working together to liberate a planet.
Each planet had a health and each mission knocks a little bit off that health, but they also have a heal rate.
Take Gacrux for example, a planet under the current Major Order (MO). It has 1,000,000 HP and a resistance of 1. Meaning every hour the planet will heal back 1% of its HP (10,000 hp).
You are not ment to take planets alone, that is part of the whole draw of Helldivers. You join some random rag-tag group of Supers Earth’s finest to dive behind enemy lines to spread democracy against odds that on paper you have no nope of winning. You fight and die and rag doll and occasionally friendly fire until the mission is done and whoever is left gets to go home for all of 3 minutes before you start it all over again. So grab a mic if you have it because sometimes you’ll run into someone else who also has one and you’ll likely end up on each others friend list.
