Rhino (tank) might return?

[SGT. Johnson]

that wasn't a tank in the trailer, but i hope they come back because that means they will also be used against you at 6 stars

It's possible to see the military return. Perhaps they will be the updated NOoSE.

[Jacko427]

I don't know, IV can't have a tank because the city is too small

and it won't be fun to ride tanks in the city.

And because V might be only LS, they won't put tanks this time too.

A tank might be a bit far-fetched. Now a military base with light armored assault vehicles may be a different story. Perhaps we'll see updated versions of the Flatbed and mabe the APC. Expect something along those lines but I don't see why the Hunter, Sea Sparrow, and the Buzzard won't be making another appearance.

I don't remember if Flatbeds are in IV.

They only send these FIB, cops and NOOSE.

And if you have 5 or 6 stars, they will send Hunters hunting your ass down.

But tanks?

Tanks in a city full of pavemant, buildings and citizen?

I myself won't have fun shooting and riding tanks in city.

 

When riding a tank in SA, i mostly do it on freeways, deserts and bad lands.

[SGT. Johnson]

When I saw that in the trailer, my first thought was that it was some kind of SUV like a Mesa or something.

 

To be honest when I saw it, I wasn't really trying to identify the vehicle. Instead I was too busy being impressed at the particle effects of all the dust it was throwing up.

Honestly, if I were to bet money on it, I'm positive that the vehicle in the trailer, at that shot, was a Walton.

I'm pretty sure Flatbeds exist, or perhaps I'm getting the name wrong. There are two near the Middle Algonquin Annilator spawn point on MP. One is in a fenced off area with a movable gate, and the other is in the same vicinity of the Annilhator spawn point, althoug this one is very "shy".

 

If you are still lost, it's the vehicle that carries the bomb during the mission "Rigged to Blow".

 

Why I say it MIGHT be a military vehicle is because it looks like it could be a good candidate for one, first off. Secondly, there is a unique metallic/military green paintjob you can get for it that just screams "military" in my opinion. Thirdly, the version with the box, similar to the one in "Rigged to BLow" looks exactly like a Barracks OL-type vehicle.

 

OH! Perhaps we will see a return of an updated version of the BARRACKS OL from past GTAs?

 

I expect these:

 

-Military designed and detailed Flatbed or Barracks OL return

-APC designed to look like an offroad assault vehicle with a machine gun on top for firing

-Patriot with rotatable gun

-Annihilator redone to look like the Hunter, with missiles and machine gun

-Cargobob-like helicopter

-Hunter

-Hydra

-Tank (1/10 chance)

Damn, I forgot these many vehicles.

Especially the Cargobob.

Yes, I remember that mission Rigged to blow.

Nice mission, tho'.

I didn't knew that was a Flatbed.

I mean, Flatbed looked completely different from SA to IV.

IV one looked normal.

[satchboogie]

Don't give me this "Oh, it's not realistic" bullsh*t. In '07 an Army Vet stole a tank and wreaked havoc on the streets of San Diego. http://wn.com/US_Police_|_Amazing_police_c...ank_|_San_Diego

 

There's no reason to not have a tank in V. I'd rather have a "blow cars up on impact" tank in the game than no tank. Trouble making it realistic isn't a good excuse IMHO.

Games are not supposed to be realistic.

It would suck a lot and it will make it boring, like IV.

 

And yes, agreed

[The-San-Andreas-man]

I really hope it's back. And for you guys saying it's hard to make it because of the treads, doesn't SR3 have that?

[J-B]

 

Creating moving tank tracks in 3D isn't so easy and I think it's a bit intensive on RAM/graphics, and then to have them crush cars properly would be more work, I think this is why no Rhinos were in IV, but now they have some solid coding ground to stand on, it may be possible, but I think it will depend on the damage setup V has, it may be the same (outdated) crap damage system from IV or we may get something that a leading title should have in 2012.

 

On a side note (and half irrelevant) GTA SA only recently-ish got a 3D tank tracks mod, and they had to use CLEO3 to do it.

There's a simple solution to that. Instead of modeling it after the M1 Abrams , you model it after the next best thing :

 

 

No tracks included.

1. BS. The APC is a tank of sorts (more specifically, an Armored Personnel Carrier).

2. The APC was extremely fun to use in GTA IV. Why else would everyone in multiplayer go straight for it as soon as the game started?

3. Los Santos is bigger than Liberty City. Thus, it would make sense that if a small city like Liberty had a form of tank, to have LS have one (or more) too.

This is the one I was referring to when I said "offroad assault vehicle with a gun on top". This would probably be an upgraded version of the APC, or the GTA V Tank. Does it necessarily need treads? I think you are willing to sacrifice SOME features to make the tank appear.

 

Thanks for pointing that out, MajorVienna.

Answer for number two.

 

1) Because of the gay modders all over the place killing you constantly, it was one of the ONLY places you could go to have SOME protection.

 

2) A good way to escape constantly being spawn-killed.

 

3) Great way to feel invincible and act like a douche with the cannon, therefore turning you into a "cannon spammer".

Man the reason why most of us stole tanks was to blow suit up and make the city a chaos. Not to pretend being in a military game

Haha, chill, bro.

I get your point, but don't get me wrong.

Blowing up sh*t in city is fun in a GTA game, but it depens in wich city.

LV would be fun to blow up sh*t, but LS would be funnier to blow the Ballas, Vagos and other gangbanger.

IV feels so different, SA fits better, I think its the...it's the magic.

[TheIncredibleMrGQ]

I rather liked the APC in TBOGT, although, if they did include it, I would hope that they limit its rounds in mulitplayer

[meson1]

I think the APC in TBOGT was far more fun than the Rhino in GTA:SA and GTA:VC. But that was because it didn't blow vehicles up in one go. You could see the massive damage you were inflicting on things before they eventually blew.

 

I'm not bothered which one they put in GTA:V though. If they put the full Rhino in they should try to do something about implementing it properly and have a fully animated tracked vehicle.

 

I take the point about the multiplayer issues though. Certain weapons and vehicles like tanks can be too powerful. They should put a feature into multiplayer that allows the customisation of any given mp session so that certain weapons and vehicles can be excluded.

[UberChargedCJ]

ohh cmon plsss its a BOBCAT .......

how you know that is bobcat?

[Grand_Theft_Peanut]

I had more fun with a far fetched GTA than a realism chaser.... i liked seeing Area 69 with jetpacks, hand held miniguns, Tanks and other stuff... all the people saying tanks are a bit unrealistic to have in a city well walking around with 10 weapons concealed in ur jacket and going on a killing spree and GETTING away with it is just as far fetched... so is jumping out of a speeding car at 200 mph and living..... so is pulling out ur mobile phone and spawning a f*cking helicopter... ITS GRAND THEFT AUTO IT SHOULD BE FUN... chuck in as many tanks as u can i say

[Ice1980]

First of all it's not a tank in the trailer with the windmills. It's a Jeep/Truck. Maybe a Mesa or Patriot. You see the same vehicle in this screen shot. I'm pretty sure there one in the same. Also I think this is our protag arriving to Los Santos, possible coming from Mexico to start his new life in San Andreas.

 

 

 

[GTALeak]

Tank will return.

 

It will be based in a camp equivalent of real life Camp Pendleton, near Fallbrook. This will be in the southern area of the map, where it's located just a bit away from San Diego and the canyons, creeks and Santa Ana mountains.

[xUSMC SSGTx]

Have you guys seen the tanks (yes that would be plural, as in more than one!) in SR3?! Thier AWESOME! And the way they crush over cars is absolutely inspired! If R* were going to steal something from SR - the tanks should DEFINITELY be it!

 

The VTOL and Condor are also pretty damn cool!

[austruckie69]

Sorry my bad it's not tank I was watching it on my iPod so the screen was small. I thought it looked like a tank from VC. But the other guy that said it could be the protagonist arriving could be right. Sounds plausible.

Tanks where already in GTA more like Saints row bit off of GTA. But they added a crush feature rolling over cars.

 

 

 

But if there possible military base I think tanks and some other military vehicles are in the game.

[TenEightyOne]

No way it's the tank, I'm pretty sure it's the squarer of the off roaders (see Vehicle Database link at top of this page).

 

As I said in that thread; I'm pretty sure we won't see a return of the Patriot unless the name is changed because Jeep used the name for a real life car not so long ago.

Actually even if R* didn't trademark "Patriot", the fact they have been using it longer than Jeep's trademarked real life counterpart grandfathers R* right to keep using it.

 

That's like you making a Widget, and 3 years later I make a product called Widget and trademark it, and try to get you to stop calling your dodad a Widget, can't be done. No time machines for copyright.

 

 

Regarding the tank coming back, if we have military back I can't see it being left out. As far as difficulty adding tank tracks that sounds silly. If Battlefield 2 can do a nice job having wheels and tracks, so can GTAV.

[UberChargedCJ]

how the rhino should look than other rhinos in future? give me a picture of another tank you liked

True, but wouldn't that bring more controversy to R* if they put a Tank in? That could be one of the legitimate reasosn why they would put a thank in, as rememberance for that faithful event.

 

True story: anyone remember the show World's Wildest/Scariest Police Videos? They showed that exact chase on the show once; I was forunate enough to watch it

 

Might I say, it was quite exhilirating, especially when it actually ended ewith the attempted arresting officer using lethal force.
