Tank mods & nerf discussion

[scubadave]

In the next patch, what would be your top 3 list of things you'd like to see modified on the Rhinos?

 

It's been a while since they've given us any useful mods; in fact they have taken away the exact things that made the tank fun and interesting (chrome, blue tire smoke, etc.)

 

They keep fixing things that don't need fixing. Before, you could keep up with Entitys and fire off 15 rounds a second in a pink chrome tank with dollar wheels, now it feels like ur going in slow motion and every a$$hole on the map has the same camo tank.

 

If we compile a list of the most requested mods, perhaps we'll see it in 1.12 or as Military Pack DLC.

 

Custom pink chrome Rhino tank with Dollar Sign wheels and blue engine smoke.

 

Matte gray Rhino with rapid fire running Beach Patrol at Vespucci.

 

Rhino getting the LSC treatment.

 

UPDATE1:

Ability to use the turret facing backwards to gain speed

Extra weapon- Mine (sticky bomb) laying device

2nd player able to get in and use the machine gun

A turret which can aim vertically.

Offensive upgrade- Auto lock on to aircraft.

Defensive upgrade- Smoke screen

Offensive upgrade- Advanced armour

Defensive upgrade- Cloaking device

Upgrade from diesel to either jet or nuclear power engines.

Extra weapon (using original turret) napalm cannon.

I've only got one thing I'd like to see - a massive off button on the rear on the tank.

Other: None. No mods no nerfs. The tank is a tank, and tanks should not be weak or overly customizable. This isn't WoT.

[Fail_At_GTA]

Well since the thread is completely retarded, I went with the one thing that made the most sense which is having a passenger control the machine gun.

OT, None

Spoilers and all the stuff at lsc...and biscuits

[JoeMamma81]

Other: Get rid of them. Or at least give us non-tankgriefers something to counter those fags with.

[G37]

I'm interested in two things only:

 

1) A cool down period on which you can call Pegasus again (say your vehicle gets destroyed) - I'm thinking 5 actual minutes.

2) A Pegasus Black List - destroy a PV and you can't pay you become BL'd - kicked from/locked out of tank + can't call Pegasus for 15 minutes (similar to Merryweather).

 

And possibly a 3) Buzzard ability to auto-lock on tank.

 

Other than that tanks are fine as is and need no such buffs IMO. This isn't:

Rapid Fire, Nos, Customization, increased armor, tanks able to enter apartments

This dude just doesn't give up.

[scubadave]

+1 on the spoilers. never have worked but its ridiculous that they haven't added it.

 

 

 

 

 

we need a screenshot/gameplay vid of this game.

 

Rapid Fire, Nos, Customization, increased armor, tanks able to enter apartments

Yes, yes, yes, yes and hell-yes.

[Coin]

Why does the poll contain only a list of buffs for the tank and no nerfs?

[G37]

This is the only thing I could find quickly, I giggled

 

[Masochron]

I want competition suspension.

[Synophrys]

Ability to have a passenger operate machine gun

 

this.

I'm sure it's coming in 1.12 or maybe even 1.13 but you would think after 1.05 when all the custom tanks, buzzards, garageing, etc was going on, Rockstar would take note. That is, "hey the most popular garage item is the tank and everyone seems to like customizing the wheels, spray, turbo, and other mods. More popular than any of the other "real" features we put in there."

 

and instead of eliminating those mods (that really dont fundamentally change the game), perhaps officially release them. that is have pegasus vehicles, specifically buzzard, rhino, luxor be customizable. not take it into LSC, but maybe drive to an LSC-style hanger in Blaine or at LS airport and be able to choose color, wheels, etc. its obviously alreadyy programmed in there. the DLC would be #1 content and I know they dont want to charge, but they could doa $1.99 one time fee DLC or something for "Military Customization Pack" etc. Instead of cash cards, do that DLC........

Yes. Please Rockstar...let me own a Chrank...With bright purple crew tire smoke, competition suspension, and a spoiler...

[Mr. Crowley]

All of that, and for other, I'd like a hover tank.

 

 

...and it should be submersible...

hover tank, great idea. not submersible, but we've got :

 

[Kelvin_00]

Heat detection/ Lock on missiles so you can take out those pesky Jets and helicopters. Ejector seat so you can escape when someone tries revolting and attacks your tank, a back up camera so you can park easier, custom horns, flares, a tow hook and cable to escort "VIP's" around, a mod option to drop spike strip or other items like it.

[Special Agent 25]

another great poll from scubadave, puts nerf in title but doesn't include any..

 

Bravoo..

[notgonlie]

alot of great ideas. tanks in apartments, strip clubs, shopping stores. id love to rob a gas station while being in the comfort of my tank also. tank customization should include nos(obviously) giant exhaust pipes(purple) and maybe for a million dollars a jet engine? but that is a whole other discussion (jet engines for flying tanks discussion).
tanks in races wouldn't be bad either. when you master the art of tank driving you can easily outrun an enitity (with the use of spraying rockets of course). people dont realize but tanks are a major part of the gta economy. and with the extinction of tanks would result in massive chaos in los santos and eventually effect microsoft stocks and perhaps our water supply. keep tanking.

[nomface11]

(insert random joke about tanks being OP here ) keep the tanks as they are. They are just powerful enough that you don't need to buff it and just weak enough that you don't need to nerf it.

Destructible tank threads.

Hella lot more torque, thats a tank, FFS. Less inceptive to damage for more CAR CRUNCH. Give him weak points to shoot at, so tank destroying will be a matter of skill AGAIN. Make him work underwater for a few seconds more, so he can cross rivers and shoot submarines. Make him vulnerable against Molotovs from above. Make his machine gun work as secondary weapon to mow down Molotov throwers. Add second seat for my gunner so i can drive while he shoots.

the tank robbing the gas station has always bugged me. u pull up in the tank and can close down the store by firing into it, but you cant get $$$ from it. you'd think u got a tank, u go to the store, there should be a way to get cash. should be something like u pull up to the storefront, insert barrel, honk a couple of times, the clerk does the rifling thru the cash drawer motion, he chucks the cash out the door and either drive over the cash to pick up or maybe you have to get out and pick it up.

Yes, needs to be amphibious ..... most popular want from poll above is passenger seat for gunner. its there, let us use it. either that or he can open hatch and just shoot an AK from there (or fire RPG, grenades, minigun, etc.)

[scubadave]

would you rate custom paintjobs (chrome, pink, blue, etc.) above or below turbo/NOS?

[JGrayzz]

How about a self-destruct mechanism? Just think of the collateral.

 

 

[drGiggless]

Oh, it's a scubadave thread.

 

Where is the option for nuclear power core and 2 foot thick uranium kevlar infused titanium alloy that makes it impervious to all explosive and conventional weaponry?

 

Also, tank spinners
