Plane and Helicopter damage

[Lil ski]

Well I wanna see a plane crash in the game like THIS!!!

 

When I saw that scene in the theaters, Jesus Christ I was traumatized for weeks! Lol

HAHA, that would be awsome. Imagine driving in the desert in free mode multiplayer and you see something in the distance closing in on you. You suddenly realise its a kamikaze player! You try to avoid him but he crashes into you before you can escape.....

There was one thing that bugged me about that scene. Granted that movie was PG-13 I would think that a crash like that would have body parts littering the ground along with dismembered bodies.

So far, I'm loving the plane damage from what we've seen. I only hope that there's more varying effects than the engines incinerating, as seen in the screenshot below. Similar to how helicopters in IV had only 2 different damage effects (loss of tail and blades), I hope that planes have more than 2 types of damaging effects. (I.e. Engines flaming, tail list, plane split in multiple dynamic ways).

I was hoping for the helicopter to crash after one rocket (it's tail should be blown off like it could in IV) and explode after another (TBOGT Buzzard rocket style). Was really dissappointing to not only see the helicopter's chassis be intact after two missiles but also see the jet fly into it. Sure it showed us that the good ol' crazy part of GTA is back, but flying a jet into a helicopter is a little bit too much of that crazy. The rockets seem too... useless now.

I'm guessing that the helicopter was on it's way down after the rockets anyways, it just got hit too soon to really start falling, but that's only my guess. Though I do agree, the jet being able to hit that helicopter with it's wing and fly on as if it never hit it, kind of annoyed me. But I think I'll get past it with how fun jets should be anyways, lol.

Yeah, at least the tail could be blown off in IV.  I'm hoping the airframe can get 'tweaked' so that the helicopter is no longer stable,a nd veers to a random direction.  MIght be kinda neat.  Also, yeah, it should BLOW UP, not just turn into a black chassis.  Many pieces, and maybe randomly sometimes light occupants on fire, so that sometimes if you jumped out you could parachute to survive, or land in the water, but somtimes you'd just be on fire screaming all the way to your splattery death. 

 

Also, it'd be neat if when they were damaged the "lift" was reduced, so you could say "we're going down!" and have to be forced to land while still sorta in control.  In IV you either had full control, or if your tail got blown off, you could still rocket upwards at a normal rate.  That was lame.

The airframe wont tweak... its the most itegral part of the aircraft. The tails are hollow so they will go first. I think that helicopter boyancy in air and water should be fixed... its an easy one...

 

Helicopters are extremely top heavy and therefore they invert the moment the hit water and often times in air as well

Being able to fly inverted would be AMAZING. Even if you lost altitude like crazy. Also, being able to stall out, and that sorta thing would be great. I found the heli's really boring in GTAIV... some were hard to control, but it seemed like the mechanics were pretty boring in general.

or something like this

For starters i hope any small contact with objectives while in a plane does not mean instant explosion, i think ( and hope) the wings come flying off, something SR got right!

 

I really liked the IV damage to helis, what was wrong with it?

I think R* has done so many things for us so i expect R* to skip this and for once work on MotorBike Damage

Zero update from IV. Helicopter chassis made of graphene. In fact, same since VC.

I agree with this. Too limited hardware to do any fancy damage system. Maybe a wing can break off and stuff, but that'll be it.

If the environmental destruction was advanced enough to destroy buildings, IV's helicopter rotor blades could slice right through a whole building and remain unscathed. That's the problem.
