An idea for a new Weapon & Aircraft

[SimpleJack_420]

 

 

 

 

 

Tanks are already nerfed and not much of a problem. Lazers has been somewhat nerfed with the latest patch since the pilot cannot see the bullets anymore (totally unneccessary imo)

 

People who bitch and moan about tanks and lazers needs to learn how to take cover and defend themselves or learn how to use the passive mode function.

 

Only thing we could use is that the Buzzard would autolock on tanks and bountys.

 

The bomber idea seems interesting enough.

 

Btw, there is actually a heat seeking RPG in the game already. Its being carried by a soldier in Zancudo which he uses to fire rpgs after players who tries to steal lazers. Just for Rockstar to make it available to us.

NO AUTO LOCK is not needed. You can (with quite a bit of practice) kill a player on ground or in a vehicle with my beloved whirlybird. They shouldn't make it easy to use. If you want to be effective in one, just practice. Otherwise it'll be just like the jet where common sense and very little flying time will make you an Ace to the ppl on the ground.

 

I would say the Buzzard requires less skill than the Lazer. Regardless of that, I still think the Buzzard and Lazer should have autolock on bountys, targets and tanks. It simply makes sense because thats how its meant to work and thats would make bountys and tanks being much more of a target - which they are supposed to be. Does it make sense that cops and aircrafts are the only things the autolock works on?

You on PSN? I'll change your mind on the Buzzards right now. I'll make you wish it had NO missiles at all, let alone lock on. In my hands (or any experienced pilots) that thing would be super OP and easy to use for anyone (like yourself, seeing as you need lock on to kill someone) Why do you need AA if you just said they're easier to fly than the jet? That doesn't even make sense, considering how easy it is to kill and avoid being killed in your jet... PLEASE give me your PSN.

 

Don't be so hostile. I'll be glad to see your skills on the Buzzard, maybe I can learn something. My PSN is the same as my nick here.My apologies. I overreacted lol. But yes I can help you get better if you wish. I'd be honored. I want everyone to be good at everything, that way im never short of competition lol. Just like IV. Heres a few tips though for the whirlybird.

 

-Make sure you're in first person view while operating the aircraft.

- When you aim at your target while he's on foot. Dont try to center him directly in the HUD, rather, aim the top of the HUD (square you aim with while using missiles) at his feet. This may not be the case everytime depending on how close you are.

- When pursuing a vehicle, because he's traveling in a forward direction at a fast rate aim 10-15 yards in front of him and let him drive into it. Depending on the rate of his acceleration, you may have to lead more or less. Just try to aim where you think he'll be when your projectile reaches the ground. It gets easy after you learn how far to lead trust me.

-When dogfighting other helos its always best to use your cannons, because rockets can easily be dodged by simply continuing to move toward your target and staying at or above your opponents altitude. When your below his altitude his missiles usually come down ontop of you 90% of the time. Destroying you. So just maintain an equal altitude with him and you will dodge every single missile 98% of the time. Theres another way to dodge your opponents missiles too just by rocking your chopper away from his round as it approaches. This is a little trickier and less reliable, but it works when done correctly.

-Learn to fly in lower altitudes, as this makes it harder for snipers to shoot at you.

-One of the most critical maneuvers you should know is how to circle your opponent on the ground. Practice circling peds in your buzzard while using the miniguns. If you become effective at killing with those, everything else will be a piece of cake.

 

You should see some the reactions I get when I kill someone using the miniguns instead of my missiles. They usually think im cheat some how, because you dont see many ppl doing it. But they're (heli pilots) out there trust me. We just need more people to take the time to practice in them yet. A big portion of the community have no clue how effective you can get in a heli. But im starting to see more guys getting better, whice I like a lot. I'll add you and we can practice more. The buzzard is really fun once you get the hang of flying/killing solo.

Only thing I'd suggest about a ground to air missile is that it can't lock on to an aircraft with no weapons.

 

Basically say a Velum flying over. Isn't a threat and shouldn't be locked on.

 

They could easily make the current RPG have a heat seeking option that will lock on to the three armed aircrafts.

How would slow moving helos avoid them? RPG's take helos out easily, there would be no escaping a Stinger. They travel much faster than the helicopters.

 

Edit:Maybe give helos flares?

yes to both, because why not have more vehicles or weapons to the game. yes specially to take down those lazer A-holes lol, but I'm not going to lie i am one of those jet people too, when its necessary.

....any idea to add more too the game is good so yeah. AGREED!

Option two sounds like what the air strike should be.
