Fort Zancudo needs a Buff...

[Shaundi.]

There should be some sort of barrier to stop AI tanks from coming in the Lazer hanger when I'm stomping on the cockpit of the Lazer.

 

You should never steal a jet from there. Much easier from the side of the main runway.

 

& no. It' doesn't need a buff or a nerf. It's just right.

[The_B1u3_Jay]

The only think i would like to see changed is the tanks and fighter jets shooting at me while i"m on foot or while i'm parachuting. Why would you need to use a tank to kill one person.

[SolidSnails]

So we need to add 15 buzzards 4 snipers in each corner some land mines and rambo also a active navy seal team 6 squad to hunt you down?

[----------------------]

Seems the new patch did exactly the opposite of what I wanted: it's now even easier to get into the base and steal a jet, I don't even get chased anymore by NPC Lazers. Meh.

It's random. I'll go days without being chased and then suddenly not even be able to get one due to the swarm of tanks, and when I finally do then I get chased and shot down, and the bastard even spawn kills me a few times as well!

[----------------------]

I've never had an NPC Lazer spawnkill me, but I have had one of the missiles hit me without the warning going off.

Didn't some dude cry about it being too hard?

Mosin Nagant.

 

I think Fort Zancudo is fine just the way it is as well.

Exactly. Well balanced, not so easy or a hard grind which make us nervous.

[supershocked]

Sometimes tanks blow me up

[masterdesanta]

it needs no security so i can just take a cargobob with a tank or a jet under it. cause now my cargobob gets shot everytime. you know what they should do the same thing as gta vice city wear a uniform to get in.

 

[Revoltion]

Am I the only one who always had another jet Pursue me no matter how far away I fly? Sometimes it doesn't even shoot me... just hangs around and chills in the sky with me,

[Soran Is On]

If you drive in you probably won't make it out. If you fly in or chute in you'll get out as long as you put some f*ckin hustle on.

 

Sounds like op gets shot by jets a lot. Probably butthurt that insurance liability is now removed for jets.

Sounds like you can't check dates - this thread was created in mid April, around the time patch 1.12 dropped; the whole jets not having to pay insurance was introduced with patch 1.13. This entire thread was created because the base is not challenging enough for me, did you not get that from my six posts that said the very same thing?

 

Try harder.

Just from a gameplay balance perspective NO

 

Jets are very easy to kill with a heavy sniper, and their griefing ability is very limited, unlike tanks they pay insurance and can't kill people in passive mode, also its very difficult to actually kill anyone given the cannon has the same range as a nerf gun and people can just dodge behind buildings or go underneath something.

Even if it was too easy to get a jet that's not a problem since you have to get all the way back to the base to get one again if you die

 

 

From a realistic perspective NO

 

This is not a frontline army base in a warzone ffs, soldiers aren't constantly on guard, nor are there tanks and jets patrolling around expecting an untrained civillian to jump in the base with a supercar to try and steal a jet. The Base would probably have to get clearance and disable IFF systems to shoot down one of their own jets anyway.

(IRL your character wouldn't even know how to start the engine let alone let alone fly it away and use the weapons systems lol)

That's funny because I must have blown up like a 100 personal vehicles last night and never paid a dime for insurance and only bad sport a few times out those, and yes I'm sure they were pvs, you only pay if their not driving them. The griefing ability in a jet totally trumps the tank by far, if you know what your doing. When mine starts smoking I head bck to the base, call Lester and parachute in then I'm right back at it. I wouldn't mind if they buffed zancudo as I never had a problem getting jets before the Lester ability was added. The real problem is the 1v1 deathmatch glitch that allows people to spawn in the jet over and over. If 2 or more people are working together in the jet all they have to do when it gets damaged is get their friend to shoot them down then request a 1v1 dm and boom right back in it. Completely emptys out lobbies. I'm not proud but it has to be done and a lot of people has to get pissed off before it will get fixed.

Back before I bought my troll machine(tank), I cargobobbed one out if Zancudo. I lifted it while it was driving, when I set it down in Los Santos, it started driving away, and the NPC inside was obeying all the stop lights and whatnot. Quite hilarious.

 

On topic, every once in awhile, I'll have a jet chase me out of Zancudo. Only one, though. Once I blow him apart, there's no challenge left.

[AFP Phat Packs]

It'd say its pretty perfect. Besides as long as we have "Cops Turn Blind Eye" is it really going to make much of a difference? I remember when they buffed it a while back and the Marines would do the most ridiculous sh*t. 6 of them would spawn near a jet just because I landed my chopper near it, all would auto-aim headshot and insta-kill me.

 

As for the NPC jets pursuing you that's a terrible idea. They have auto aim WITH THE CANNONS. They can shoot you out of the range of the weapons with their auto aim. One time I strafed one and shot it with the cannons from behind and -I- blew up.

 

The NPC jets would need some serious reprogramming for that.

[CarnageRacing00]

Best way is to wait for another player or two to go in and start a ruckus... then you can parachute in (or even land) and more than likely nobody will be paying any attention to you. I did that just tonight, dropped a couple dudes off with a Cargobob and circled the places a few times while they ran around trying to snag a jet. Got bored, landed next to a jet, and even had time to taxi onto the runway and take off - nobody fired a shot at me.

[Pizza_Is_Emo]

Seriously, it's too easy to steal a jet. Add in anti aircraft cannons like you had in Area 69 back in San Andreas, and make it so the new Lester feature doesn't work in the base. You want a jet, fight it for it noob.

 

Also, would be sweet if fighter jets pursued you when you got max stars. After stealing one, you don't have much of a challenge unless you're sh*t and smack into a tree like a dumbass.

Lol you must not like jet pilots. You do know you can change sessions XD

Fort Zancudo: German tanks, weekend soldier training, American fighter planes, German weapons & no SAM sites

How did you get that from that?

[ezfaun]

That moment when you enter a jet in the hangar and a tank just casually rolls in front of the entrance.

[MOA WINGS]

More like when a NPC jet is catching up to you

Nah that's easy. I don't get chased by them anymore. When you get in the jet, fly over the fence and fly at low altitude near the marshlands and then pull up before the hills start to rise. This way, they don't think you're flying and just think that you're on the ground. If you book it immediately from the get go and climb, you'll be staying in their territory for a longer time.

I know, tell me about it. Selective reading or something.
