Do you REALLY want the Hydra?

[FourTwoZero]

The Hydra should be added. But anti-air launchers should be added with them. It would be simple to just port the Buzzard/Laser lock-on and missiles to a new launcher.

Yeah thats all we need is a stinger/igla fest in gta. People camping rooftops with soul intent of trying to shoot down air vehicles. Just like battlefield. Thats all mofos do, sit in the middle of the map spamming stingers. "Get out of the heli, get out of the jet, fight me on foot" dont like vehicles? Play tdm or cod and stfu. You guys wanna cut the speed of air vehicles in half aswell, and also add dust storms every few min so pilots cant see sh*t? Cry baby assholes like you mofos are the reason the air combat in bf4 is severly broken. Always bitching and crying about every goddamn thing. Pissed because you got killed by an attack chopper. It amazes me how loud of a voice the cry babies have when it comes to getting aspects of the game changed thats not even broken. People act as if every game should be catered to casual players and thats whats wrong with games nowadays, especially console games. Crutches are handed out on a silver platter for people that dont know how to play or people that refuse to learn. Why learn how to aim when i can use this lazer weapon that 1 hits everything.. why learn any air combat when i can sit in the middle of the map giving zero f*cks ab the objective and spam stingers at any and everything that lifts up off the ground. I never had any use for heat seeking ground to air missiles. If someone if in an air vehicle f*cking sh*t up, guess what i may die a few times but i will get in an air vehicles aswell and show you what time it is. So instead of crying wanting them to add stingers, take your lazy ass to zancudo and steal a jet and get your skills. Its not OP you just f*cking suck at the game!!

my ideal hydra would be:

-1 seater (mainly for the looks but i just dont like 2 seater jets even when they are sleek)

-available on the internet with a level lock of 75 and a price of whatever

handling:

-cargobob handling in a hover, with slightly more stiff thumbstick control

-vestra handling in conventional flight

-switching between modes in similar fashion to convertible roofs, except with no interruption if the player decides to accellerate

weapons:

-1 minigun mounted on the bottom in a pod, damage equivalent of all the annihilator guns being trained on 1 spot, slightly longer range, better accuracy than the heli miniguns (no explosive rounds ofcourse)

-dual firing rockets with no homing ability, but faster projectile speed and reload twice as fast as normal rocket cooldown

-single homing missiles, loading half as fast as ordinary missiles on both the buzzard, and the lazer

trying to stay on topic: if the hydra was like this, it would still satisfy everyone with the ability to land and take off vertically while having jet speed and having proper armament, without becoming a massive burden in online sessions, unless someone is really good with one, but then again, ive spawncamped several people with a buzzard

 

how about instead of annihilator machine guns it could have machine guns from the laser?

i could live with that but half the forum cant so im leaning towards a more 'balanced' approach

 

It's already been confirmed with the 2nd trailer that it's duel firing rockets will now have homing capabilities. (ALSO: I have no idea why this is spoilered.)

go back and look at my other reply, that jet aint a hydra, but a cool animal nonetheless although cut

[Salv000]

 

Yes, I REALLY want the Hydra. Anything that could compete the Lazer would be a great addition to dog fighting in GTAO. Plus I just love Harriers and besides from what I can tell, the Hydra isn't going to be a subsonic attack jet like the AV-8b. However no matter how or where I look at it, I still can't spot cannons on the thing. I'm not really worried about this when it comes to Air-to-Ground assaults. It should still be able to duel fire rockets in quick succession as it did in SA making Air-to-Ground a non-issue. On the flip side I'm curious to see how it handles Air-to-Air without cannon fire. Maybe it will be able to quickly fire duel locked on rockets making a it a bitch to deal with. But you really can't replace a jets cannons with more rockets. We'll just have to wait and see. Maybe it will have cannon, maybe perhaps not explosive but cannons are always better than no cannons. You can't really have a fighter jet without them.

 

By the way for all you people worried about more jets in GTAO. Just buy your own jet when they come out. Nuclear deterrence won the cold war and now you can too! Buy a jet and win the war on griefing today!

For those interest in getting good or if you just want to be competitive with your dog fighting skills. I'll be creating a elite fighter squadron and crew on the PS3 for GTAO. Keep a look out for me on the forms and i'll be sure to

drop some more details when i'm active again.

didnt read it all but what i think you think is a hydra is a beta vehicle called vulkan (from piecing together strings relating to a jet called vulkan), and the hydra is probably going to be very different, but it is going to be a vertical take off vehicle for sure

 

 

Excuse me but please don't be so quick to dismiss what i'm saying. What reason do you have to believe that the jet i'm referring to is in fact not the new Hydra?

just look up all the things vulkan relates to from the forums and you'll find that it is a vehicle with hover mode, cannons, and rockets. there is also no strings relating to a hydra outside of recently added ones, but the vulkan things have been there forever. by this logic i can assume that the hydra wont look like the jet in the first and second trailer, since it has only recently been mentioned in the game's internal hashes and strings

There's a issue with your claim. As you have stated the Vulkan not only has VTOL and rockets but it also has cannons. This is the issue with your claim that the jet shown in GTAV trailers 1 & 2 is the Vulkan. The jet that is shown in GTAV trailers 1 & 2 can not be confirmed for having cannons and has no name officially tied to it as of yet. Given how past GTA vehicles like the Hotknife and other cars have been redesign for GTAV I wouldn't dismiss the unnamed aircraft shown in GTAV trailers 1 & 2 just yet.

 

 

 

Also, thank you Pizentu.

Of course its going to be way over powered. Its going to have a huge price tag and the hype is unreal. Imagine a besra with guns/rockets that can hover. iIt will rape. Which is why i dont want it implemented in the game. The only people that will get it are modders and people that buy shark cards. I am neither of those. Little squeakers will be all over this.

 

No. I'd buy one not only to have non-player-killing fun but to dogfight other players or at least to try and kill jet griefers without having to go all the way back to the air base and spend 5k to steal another one, but mostly for the dogfights.

 

Having vertical takeoff means I can land almost anywhere and mess around then take off and go somewhere else without damaging my plane trying to land on a long flat road where a random car or lamp post is going to make my wing smoke.

 

The only reason I haven't purchased a Bestra is because it's defenseless against a Lazer. Give me an armed Bestra or a Hydra and I'd throw down $2 million to get one.

My PSN is Undergroundepict. Send me a friend request. We are always looking for more quality pilots. You will not find better competition anywhere on the PS3, nor are you likely to find it on the Xbox (at least not yet, but my impression is that Xbox guys are a little bit behind where we are on PS3 right now. I have zero doubt that they will catch up eventually, there is nothing that makes PS3 pilots inherently better, nor is there anything that makes Xbox 360 pilots inherently worse. The right people simply came together at the right time, earlier than anyone else, on the PS3, and the Xbox community has only just begun to catch up).

Note that we are an air-to-air crew. Killing ground targets is fun, and we do it, but the requirements to join this crew are based almost entirely on your ability to take out other jets. Killing ground targets is just meaningless fun.

plausible, but just to play devil's advocate, i think i can see cannons on the bottom of the fuselage

i can see 2 holes, which are either a graphical glitch on all good photos i found, or actual design

actually no those are definitely cannons

This isn't bf4.

[CrysisAverted]

You're right op, I rather have a starscream

[God-eater]

I don't.

 

As it stands, the Lazer is fast and powerful, but fragile and unwieldy in CQC combat, especially in sustained Air-to-Ground combat (but that first run is death for someone). It is arguably the most powerful weapon in the game and can be very tough to take down. But you can't own it.

 

You can own a Buzzard, which is agile and great at Air-to-Ground combat, but very vulnerable to small arms fire and Air attacks - pretty much anything you attack with it stands a chance of bringing you down. We will make mention of the useless guns here. My point is, it's balanced.

 

The Hydra is a terrifying combination of both - all of the advantages of both, including the fact that it would be owned (as per DLC standards) - fast, agile, good Ground and CQC capabilities, powerful, effective guns and the capacity to go from a hovering gun-platform to an Air-to-Air monster in seconds - and only a couple of the disadvantages (like overall fragility and vulnerability while hovering).

 

No one will ever travel in anything else again. I know I wouldn't. I'd take it clothes shopping, land it right outside Ponsonby's.

[KornbreadMaf1a]

No. We need less armored vehicles in this game not more.

 

There are already worthless scrubs who live in a lazer/tank and go passive when their vehicle gets destroyed. The Hydra would just add one more vehicle for these no skill having dbags to use.

 

If you want military vehicles go play a military sim or FPS not GTA.

NO

 

seriously though, some of the best conversations I had on forums were off topic.

though I must admit to being kind of petty in this specific case and it's not really an argument worth having, I still feel it was worth pointing out.

Some of the more interesting threads have gotten locked because people went off topic... The "how close does your character resemble you" thread comes to mind with that topic's raging OP.

 

On-topic: a Hydra would turn lobbies into a consistent Ace Combat session. $200 for a jump-jet, and you're ready for another bombing run. It's bad enough that loads of people steal the Lazer from Zancudo nowadays.

but an unarmed hydra would be lllaaaaaammmeeeeee

 

i think that there's no vehicle in gta v that is truly OP, since everything has an effective counter unless

you are bad at gta

 

even the lazer isnt that bad, unless there is more than one of them

and anything is OP if used properly in a 2v1 type of situation

If it's a VTOL then yes. If not no. We have a p 966 laser for that.

[cswood]

The Hydra should be added. But anti-air launchers should be added with them. It would be simple to just port the Buzzard/Laser lock-on and missiles to a new launcher.

i think we shoud get a stinger misile even without any new aircraft being added already.

though i think the missiles shoud cost atleast 10 000 a piece and the reload shoudnt be that great, otherwise it woud be to overpowered

 

 

I have been wishing for a stinger/heat-seeking missile launcher since the game first came out, but 10k for each missile? Why? If it acts like the Buzzard/Lazer rockets it means it can only lock onto aircraft and enemies in missions, otherwise it's a basic RPG. They should cost 1k or maybe 1.5k, but not 10k.

 

But if they do add them I also think they should be able to lock onto tanks. THAT would certainly make Free Roam more interesting.

amen, people tend to overlook the vtol and just stamp it as a regular aircraft without looking into it

Yes, I REALLY want the Hydra. Anything that could compete the Lazer would be a great addition to dog fighting in GTAO. Plus I just love Harriers and besides from what I can tell, the Hydra isn't going to be a subsonic attack jet like the AV-8b. However no matter how or where I look at it, I still can't spot cannons on the thing. I'm not really worried about this when it comes to Air-to-Ground assaults. It should still be able to duel fire rockets in quick succession as it did in SA making Air-to-Ground a non-issue. On the flip side I'm curious to see how it handles Air-to-Air without cannon fire. Maybe it will be able to quickly fire duel locked on rockets making a it a bitch to deal with. But you really can't replace a jets cannons with more rockets. We'll just have to wait and see. Maybe it will have cannon, maybe perhaps not explosive but cannons are always better than no cannons. You can't really have a fighter jet without them.

 

By the way for all you people worried about more jets in GTAO. Just buy your own jet when they come out. Nuclear deterrence won the cold war and now you can too! Buy a jet and win the war on griefing today!

For those interest in getting good or if you just want to be competitive with your dog fighting skills. I'll be creating a elite fighter squadron and crew on the PS3 for GTAO. Keep a look out for me on the forms and i'll be sure to

didnt read it all but what i think you think is a hydra is a beta vehicle called vulkan (from piecing together strings relating to a jet called vulkan), and the hydra is probably going to be very different, but it is going to be a vertical take off vehicle for sure

Excuse me but please don't be so quick to dismiss what i'm saying. What reason do you have to believe that the jet i'm referring to is in fact not the new Hydra?

just look up all the things vulkan relates to from the forums and you'll find that it is a vehicle with hover mode, cannons, and rockets. there is also no strings relating to a hydra outside of recently added ones, but the vulkan things have been there forever. by this logic i can assume that the hydra wont look like the jet in the first and second trailer, since it has only recently been mentioned in the game's internal hashes and strings

There's a issue with your claim. As you have stated the Vulkan not only has VTOL and rockets but it also has cannons. This is the issue with your claim that the jet shown in GTAV trailers 1 & 2 is the Vulkan. The jet that is shown in GTAV trailers 1 & 2 can not be confirmed for having cannons and has no name officially tied to it as of yet. Given how past GTA vehicles like the Hotknife and other cars have been redesign for GTAV I wouldn't dismiss the unnamed aircraft shown in GTAV trailers 1 & 2 just yet.

 

 

 

Also, thank you Pizentu.

plausible, but just to play devil's advocate, i think i can see cannons on the bottom of the fuselage

i can see 2 holes, which are either a graphical glitch on all good photos i found, or actual design

actually no those are definitely cannons

 

 

Not exactly. Possible but highly unlikely and here's why.

First let me remind you that aircraft in the first 2 trailers is in fact based off of the AV-8b AKA the Harrier II. lets take a look at at the 2 and compare them.

 

Here is a close up of the bottom of our unnamed fighter taken from the exact same trailer.

 

Now here are some picture of the Harrier II's cannon location and landing gears. respectively.

As you can see here is the cannon and the gears.

Finally we have another comparison from trailer 1.

From this angle you can see clearly these to aircraft are nearly identical however for there is one major difference. The exterior cannons for the Harrier II are nowhere to be found at the bottom of our unnamed aircraft.

Nope, I want a Hunter.

Don't care one way or the other about a hydra

[Black Terminator]

f*ck no. I don't have any use for it.
