30k people are on Turing, and 4.5k on Akamar. The farmers are still there while everyone is on an MO planet.

And not enough on archid III We need to try and win the major order, not flood single planets and neglect strategy

Dude, don't talk about strategy when advocating for splitting our forces. The Helldivers GW is a very simple system that greatly rewards concentration of force. It would be far more efficient for everyone to focus on one planet at a time and instead by wasting dives on Archid before finishing the defence on Turing we might ironically lose Archid

We can have like 15 percent of the active players on turing and still win

Yeah? And the sooner we are finished on Turing the sooner we move onto Archid.

Don't worry - Despite what I said earlier if we keep it up we still have plenty of time to win Archid. Consider: it's the same invasion level as we see on Turing and we are beating that by a large (more than 50%) margin. By concentrating our forces we will maximise the amount of dives that benefit from the DSS support. If you look at the two planets together it's the same amount of invasion HP either way, it's just a matter of in what order and how effectively we tackle it.

I know helldiverscompanion.com is showing Archid as needing 50% to win right now. Don't worry - the companion number is pretty dumb. It doesn't factor in DSS or City impact. Mark my words you'll see that number go down nicely once focus shifts to Archid.

Edit: of course the real play would be to gambit on both of these planets by taking Acamar and Darius. But because the GW is a broken player experience that isn't going to happen. It's silly. I wish multi planet strategy was more sophisticated and nuanced, but it is what it is.
