Matt_Storey Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 So I've hit the million $ mark again and am looking at stuff to buy. The only real thing in missing is a plane so I figured I could buy the new DLC one. Got me thinking though, what are the point of the planes? They're no real use in missions, they're a target for buzzards or tanks, and I struggle finding a crew or group of people that will happily chillax in the city without blowing shizz up or shooting me for no reason. I know there are air races but there must be more to the planes in Gta than that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spyrothedragon9972 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 They're only useful if you think they're fun to fly around in free roam. Other than that, they serve no real purpose that can't be fulfilled much better by another vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyharwood Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 R* should introduce the ability to sell planes and such! because I never use mine because of I want to fly I just steal one from the airport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patgosplat Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I just posted this in another thread but if you want to spend money on something that flies, get a buzzard cause they can be useful in missions. Planes aren't & you can find at least 1 at every airport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodgey. Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I just recently bought the Vestra and I bought it for when I'm bored in free roam and I can just mess around with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordemperor Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Planes are 100% useless. I bought a bunch pre-moneypocalypse and have never had a use for them in free-roam or missions. On occasion I try to crash into my crew members but there are always other planes at the airport anyway. I kind of wish air races could be restricted to owned planes just to give them a use.

MadHaTT3R Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Sadly what has been said, is all that can be. They are useless for everything, except dinking around in Free roam. I have a couple and wish I could sell em and some other Pegasus stuff that is useless...like the Dump truck.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy-Goat- Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I use a plane often in missions that require a travel distance across the map to a drop site. Faster than helicopters and I can land a plane almost anywhere (and I enjoy the challenge of that). Try landing a mallard on a moving train for example, that's good fun. I will land on streets and pick up team mates for a speedy getaway and then they jump out and chute to the finish. Whatsgood 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misanthrope Z Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 they need to make more fighter jets, and make them purchasable and with that, make game modes revolving around them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fail_At_GTA Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Buying planes is pointless. The planes you get for free at airports and during air races have the exact same stats. I guess you can buy the Vestra for free roam but I really don't feel like it was worth the 950k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysteriousamg Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 If its not a jet or buzzard, completely useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misanthrope Z Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 the titan is pretty fun, simply for the fact that it's huge, and the very little agility it has makes it fun to do stunts in i wouldn't mind if we got a DLC plane that's a bit bigger than the titan, maybe a gunship or something, like a more bloated ac-130 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperJude™ Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Considering everything spawns somewhere for free, planes do seem a waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanabaum Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Sometimes I love flying about the city, flying from airstrip to airstrip, landing on the beach, trying to make textbook landings... Just a way to chill or kill time though they are pointless. On a side note, in an empty lobby yesterday I jacked a jet from the military, lost the wanted stars and landed at the airport... It then dawned on me I'd never landed a military jet before... Stolen dozens yet never landed. R# really do need to add more flight type missions or dare I say they might be needed in "heists" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
