Let me set this up for you:

 

You're a L8 in a tricked-out Adder with NOS trying to win your 3rd straight Jumps Jumps Jumps race when a pair of white Adders try to take you out. You outmaneuver them due to your advanced driving skills but here comes a yellow Entity looking to take your spot. He unleashes his smoke screen which blacks out your screen for the next 10-15 seconds. You lose.

 

Entity beats you with a smoke screen.

 

I've heard it requested here before, but let's stop to think this one through...

 

Smoke Screen in GTA Races:

• Bought in LSC and equipped on your car ($20k base price)
• Unlimited use
• Stage I to IV mods, Stage I is light smoke, Stage IV is complete black out for 20 seconds or more
• Recharge period is 5 seconds
• Cost per use?
• Can be customized with Crew color smoke
• Can add oil to the mix so it permanently sticks to your screen (Stage IV)
• Also available in Freemode, but with a Stage V that can black out your screen for a minute or more

Thoughts, comments, suggestions??? Let's get together some good ideas to send Rockstar.

Amazing, another great Scubadave idea.

Praise our god, Scubadave.

[homeskillet]

lame idea, as usual and will never happen even if it was a good idea.

[koolaidandkfc666]

But Scubadave, another great idea is if they let your tanks with rapid fire, twin turbo, super speed and NOS race!

No other car would have a chance!

Who is this scubadave idiot and why is he so talked about?
Seems like a pretty dumb idea to me.

Our lord, Scubadave is the most power non-griefer tank man ever!

He is such a great guy, he rapid-fires ANYONE going to Los Santos with his tank, because they are obviously doing the selling car glitch!

I like the idea. It's already in use in Parachute jobs. However IMO the way you have it constructed it's far too OP. Incredibly OP and absolutely (race) game breaking.

 

Some thoughts as it needs to be toned down on the whole:

 

- Purchased on race menu instead (similar to ammo in missions/DMs)

- Side note: as per race idea (could be interesting in FR - purchased in LSC but must be re-purchased for a race - it is a crippling feature)

- Side note part 2: as per FR idea (pack of 3 to be re-purchased/re-filled at LSC)

- One time use per race (perhaps a pick up in GTA Style races or on the whole restricted to this race type only)

- No stages

- Expand upon use in Parachuting (wider, taller and darker than those contrails but definitely can't fill the entire screen - 65% seems acceptable to me)

- 5 to 7 second duration

- $20K price

- Toggle option in races

That's pretty accurate.

intersting on the purchase on race menu. could work that way, but something like this is useful in freemode too so you'd have it there in LSC as well.

the re-fill at LSC is interesting. like a weapon ammo purchase at ammunation, but this is a vehicle weapon, so you get it done at LSC.

Says the guy who copies ideas from past threads and makes a new one out of it. 

[Zondar]

I voted "no" cause it would turn races into even more of a lottery.

Although, maybe it could be an option to turn on/off in gta races?

[koolaidandkfc666]

I have a question, who is this "OP" guy?   He constantly get's attacked on these forums and for the life of me, I don't know why?   Who is he and why does he deserve this hate?  He'll often bring up valid ideas for improving the game, running tank shifts, finding ways to destroy tanks, lobbying for the awesomeness of cash cards, wondering why so much violence is present in GTA, trying to find ways to earn cash, trying to find ways to earn RP and often appreciates things.  For this he is hated, called a f*ggot, called immature, called 12 years old, called 13 years old, told to leave the forums etc.   I feel sorry for whoever this OP guy is.

[MrConfused]

op means original post right?

[AWEMYGOD]

This is a retarded idea.

So you have to have tanks patrolling all the time?  That's a good idea?  He also trolls people who don't do a thing to him, so he is an asshole and should leave.

how much nope could a nopechuck chuck if a nopechuck could chuck nope

 

 

 

Seriously? This is asinine. It's even worse than your nuke idea, and that's saying something.

[Soran Is On]

Not a f*ckin chance. Trollolol

[JGrayzz]

Scuba what do you feel about tanks having this feature too? Tanks don't really have as much time as they should have when defending against cars coming up from behind. Think about it. Tricked out Turismo comes up from behind trying to bump you. God forbid they attempt to sticky the tank. All you have to do is press RB and poof, smoke and goop coats their screen for up to 10 minutes just for good measure. Sometimes, their screen will even freeze! 

 

That'll stop people from attacking tanks while on their routine rampages.

ur right. tanks probably need something along those lines. smoke screen and oil jets. dunno about the 10 minute thing but it wouldbe good if it lasted beyond being wasted too. so even when you came back, ur screen was blacked out, progressively getting clearer over the next 5-10 minutes, unless u got hit again with the jet sprays.

Words cannot express how stupid this idea is.  Suffice to say it will be .
