SabreVC Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 yes, but that'd be hilarious. at the same time, players would have to team up to take it out so that's a good thing out of it MrRyanMcCall and SaveTheZombies 2 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/712027-is-this-griefing-or-nah/#findComment-1065479744 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sultangris Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 haha,thats pretty funny, did you actually try it? cops turn a blind eye doesnt last long enough to do that so what happens when it expires? does the tank try and kill you? even if it cant it would likely give you stars and you aint outrunning police choppers. and even if you make it back to the city you wont be landing it anywhere close to people having a gunfight without them killing you and making you crash before you can get low enough to not kill the tank unless you get lucky. what guarantee do you have that the tank driver even stays in the tank much less starts killing the other players if you can land him successfully?

Might to test this out, lol! I did it like four times this weekend. All you have to do is swoop in and pick them up. If you miss and hit the tank, they'll just keep driving. When the "Cops Turn a Blind Eye" effect expires, the tank does NOT try to kill you unless you're still in the Fort. Even if you fly too low and accidentally scrape the tank on the ground, you do not get a wanted level, and the tank does not become hostile. All you have to do is leave Fort Zancudo before the timer runs out and you're home free. Also, if you just leave him on the street and there's no one around with a wanted level, he'll just drive normally. He acts just like a cop, so he will ONLY fire on players with a wanted level.

PalmIsland Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 It is not difficult to hijack NPC controlled tank. They shoot slowly which gives you time to run up to the tank and hijack it before it shoot again. Also they use to miss when they shoot. When you try to hijack the tank it does not try to beat you away with canon or drive away.

SaveTheZombies Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I'd say no, you're making the game more enjoyable for everybody. I thought the point of greifing was to ruin someones fun. Great idea though. I'd love to give this a try. I guess the trick is to get back to your apt/garage tv before the fireworks are over. I'd love to watch this with the wezel news ticker going for the full effect. One way I'd like to grief is to make a soundboard of my 2year old spouting gibberish and use it whenever I get one of those guys who starts complaining about squeakers then starts getting more annoying than the squeakers they're complaining about. It's just a bit too much effort for something that doesn't really happen that often.

DigitalDivine Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) Just one thing: if this becomes a thing that everyone does in GTA, y'all mofo's better give me credit for this idea! Lol I'm kidding. Also, you guys should try just flying around without dropping the tank. Find someone in the middle if a car chase, and boom! OP Cargobob.

sultangris Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 heh, it wont be game changing, theres already plenty of idiots in tanks running around. Plus if what you say is true it would only kill them once, then the stars reset and it wouldnt bother them unless they got more stars. still pretty damn funny and would surprise lots of people, some of whom would probably be dumb enough to shoot it after they respawn getting themselves killed again, hahah!

maybeanotherone Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 (edited) does the tanker keep the same AI as inside the base? if so it can be extremely easy for someone to snatch the tank since the driver feels like climbing out if you're close. still, this is quite good.

Il-Shadow Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 We need to get a group together and MAKE this griefing, multiple cargobobs + multiple tanks = utter mayhem, if you can drop 4 or more on the streets, so if they are in a 4 way put it a block up or half a block. Or drop the 4 of them near someone who thinks they are a pro in a tank Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/712027-is-this-griefing-or-nah/#findComment-1065486946 Share on other sites More sharing options...

h1r0ll3r Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 My friend and I did this once awhile back. I picked up his tank with him still in it and fly around the city with a 4 star wanted level. He was trying to shoot the helicopters that were chasing us with the tank cannon. Apparently it's pretty difficult since the tank is swaying back and forth so much. Was fun until the heli's damaged my Cargobob to the point where it could barely fly.

Strikeslip Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I tried a Tankumi last night then landed on a roof next to the tank which happened to be inaccessible from the ground. A troublemaker was below, then he tried to shoot me, so I was running around on top of the building at the far side from the tank, following the guy below, trying to get a shot at him. By the time he circled back to the tank side of the building, the tank NPC had exited the tank. I heard him driving around for a bit, but he never fired a shot as nobody was around him. At least the tank NPC was firing at the troublemaker while on foot., but the troublemaker killed him. Poor NPC. I didn't try any more Tankumis, as the server was pretty empty, and I had got on to other stuff before it started to fill up. I'll have to try again tonight.
