Guest Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I recently created a Topic based upon how Rockstar haven't allowed the players to store the new vehicles that featured turrets within their garages. I got mixed thoughts and opinions on the subject, most that were against stated about how overpowered the vehicles would be against fellow players, particularly the newer ones. My argument is this: Passive mode and explosives exist for a reason. It's not as if the Insurgents are invincible, nor are they able to harm you whilst you're in passive mode. Also, new radar blips have been added that represent vehicles that feature weapon turrets, similar to how jets, tanks and helicopters are represented, to warn other players of the threats that certain players pose, so there is plenty of time to react to said danger, so really, the case appears to be closed. But of course, you are all entitled to your opinions on this, and I probably haven't covered all the factors on this either. Anyway, the real reason I wanted to create this post is to gather the thoughts and opinions of the gtaforums community on this subject,and provide the forums with a thread that discusses said feature, because more or less every YouTube video based on the vehicle, as well as the majority of those I play GTA Online with, are agreeing with me on this subject. Furthermore, please note that I am not expecting Rockstar to see this, and decide to alter the vehicle in the next patch or something. Post thoughts & feelings below, and thank you all for reading!

DaltonWilliams123 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Yes it should be storable. It isn't overpowered at all. Me and some friend have come across 5 tonight and have dispatched them easily enough with a flanking maneuver. The turret can't aim in two places at once. The vehicle is small enough to fit in the garage. You also need a seconds person to use the gun so its easy to get away from one if its got a lone driver.

This is like saying the Tank should be a PV. Imagine this: An guy in a Chrome Insurgent Pickup, with a guy on the turret, chasing you down while your driving your sports car, and killing you. If it was Technical, then that would be considerable since The Technical gunner is exposed to gunfire but not Insurgent Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/776168-insurgent-pick-up-should-it-be-made-storable/#findComment-1067135187 Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEDDDWWWAARRRD Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Too long to read, but I'm going to go ahead and say no. Griefers have already gotten enough power out of this update. But I do like the idea of the pickup w/o the gun. But Rockstar may not like the idea of a garage vehicle that holds 8 people.

Not true, the Tank would be ridiculous to be allowed to be stored inside your garage, as it is too large to fit appropriately, and is seriously dangerous, whereas the Insurgent Pick-Up can fit, does not have a cannon, needs to be operated by two people at once to be truly effective, the sports car could outrun the Insurgent easily, the gunner isn't hard to hit, and Passive Mode and explosives exist for this exact kind of thing.

Alvarez Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Imagine you would go and try to climb in your turret seat and blow up your cars. Or your visitor doing this. Otherwise, i can't see any other objection.

frogfarmer Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Uh how about no?

justinlynch3 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 No. All armed vehicles should be Pegasus, that's the point of calling Pegasus, to get specialty vehicles. Honestly I which the JB 700 wasn't storable. I much rather it be a Pegasus car with working guns and spikes then it being a useless sub-par sports classic car.

Could've sworn that wasn't there earlier... xD But either way the only reason I want this is mainly because I think it looks really cool, and don't get me wrong, I love the unarmed one, but being able to store the gun version would be so much better, as it has better performance, more seats and of course a mounted gun. I (unlike most others) don't want to use it against players, but instead just to play with with friends, or use in missions. But I suppose I am happy with the unarmed version, for now Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/776168-insurgent-pick-up-should-it-be-made-storable/#findComment-1067141619 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modified the regular Insurgents not that slow and since they have the same stock stats, the insurgent pickup would be decently fast.

Tanboom Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) I like how everyone gets mad on the idea of a storable 50CAL pickup but no one blinks an eye when players abuse the armored Kuruma and rape people with it taking advantage of its OP plating, unless you blow them up with an rpg( 6.6k insurance + bad sports).At least the insurgent gives everyone a chance to kill its passangers and driver. What R* should do is to make the repay fee always 50-50 (no one wins in this case and who ever destroys it gets bad sports) since if you are using a military vehicle you are usually up to no good with it XD. Personally I would use it only for contact missions, however the pegaus pick up areas are too far away and you end up wasting so much time retrieving it .(meanwhile your teamates are dying or finishing the mission without you) Edited July 23, 2015 by Tanboom Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/776168-insurgent-pick-up-should-it-be-made-storable/#findComment-1067788502 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackHeartedGovernor Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 The Insurgent is a tad too much. The technical maybe, I don't want players driving around in a tank without a cannon that you cannot easily dispatch then having to pay insurance as it would be a PV. If anything they should buff the Rhino to its original power if they go and do this.

(the same applies to the technical) Who doesn't drive it with a gunner? If you play in free aim, this beast is as big as a threat as a jet. Killing the driver doesn't necessarily mean it is "gameover". It is immobilized yet still in working order and can still rip you to shreds. The Technical I could accept.
