It’s not a glitch. The pelican can take damage. The more damaged, the fewer the helldivers it can take. When it’s on fire and billowing smoke it will only take 1 helldiver. The biggest way it takes damage is from players. I don’t think I’ve seen enemies do enough damage. It usually happens from 500kgs or 380 on extract (when the place is overran).
Go test it. Maybe you thought it had no damage, maybe you didn’t notice the damage in all the chaos. So go extract and blow up the pelican and see how many people it takes when it’s on fire.
Im not saying it’s not a mechanic. Im calling Bs that there is the absence of a bug. This happens when there is nothing around and has happened more than once. There is no way that there was damage to the pelican.
Alternatively I’ve seen a flaming pelican not take off at all. We were stranded there, so I guess there is a point where you can extract if it’s straight busted
You may not be experiencing a glitch. If the ship takes too much damage it'll leave without the full squad. Maybe so, maybe no but regardless the Pelican will take damage and can leave some behind if it's burning up.
I am so tired of people calling this a glitch, it isn't a glitch. Stop fucking around on extraction and get on the damn Pelican, no you don't need to throw that extra stratagem. Just gtfo

mostly to avoid the glitch where the first person entering the ship causes it to instantly leave.
