==General Tips==
The Eagle Fighter offers quick-response close air support to the Helldiver on the ground. In contrast to Orbital Strike stratagems, it provides greatly reduced call-in time, but carries a limited amount of ammunition. Eagle stratagems have 1-4 uses each, after which the Eagle Fighter must return to the Super Destroyer in order to get its supplies restocked.
Eagle-1 can be commanded to return to the Super Destroyer for early resupply with the Eagle Rearm stratagem. This can be used to replenish an often-used stratagem even when charges of other stratagems remain. While resupplying, Eagle strikes are unavailable to the Helldiver.
Eagle strikes are oriented relative to Helldiver. Strafing Runs and the 500kg Bomb arrive from behind, dropping forward; while all other strikes arrive from one side, dropping in a line in front of (or on top of) the Helldiver calling it in. Eagle-1 may reposition the attack run to maximize enemy casualties. Notably, the 110mm Rocket Pods are aimed at the largest target (including vulnerable structures) near the stratagem beacon.
Eagle-1 deploys flares while exiting the attack run, returning to high altitude. On Automaton planets, anti-air emplacements may attack Eagle-1, occasionally causing an errant drop, or inflicting enough damage to warrant immediate repairs on the Super Destroyer. AA emplacements will also prevent Helldivers from targeting them with Eagle strikes, forcing them to use other measures. As of yet, Eagle-1 will not alert the Helldiver of incoming AA fire taken, and will only give a standard "returning to rearm" prompt if forced to retreat.
