Dankness555 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 This has happened to me a few times now. I don't mind fighting jets but it's already hard enough. Now I have to deal with hydras constantly shooting at me then going passive when I lock on and fire a rocket. They will fly away, turn passive off and come back when it's ready to use again making them almost impossible to kill. It's getting ridiculous, I know people will say just go passive yourself but I find that boring and hate changing my play style because of some trolls abusing passive mode. Should be fixed.

TotalFacade Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) This isn't anything new... It happens with all kinds of vehicles, even tanks. People do this kind of crap constantly. I especially hate when they turn on passive mode to drive to their Rhino and then turn it off and kill everyone while they're protected inside. Trolls will be trolls...

MeatSafeMurderer Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 What do you expect...if Rockstar had actually bothered to test and made it possible to evade missiles in the damn thing then this wouldn't be so much of an issue. As it is it's a $3,000,000 paperweight. It doesn't matter how many evasive maneuvers you pull, if someone gets lock you can be 99% sure it's going down.

Rockstar gave you all of the features you need to avoid trolls, but yet you choose not to use them because you "hate to change your play style" (whatvere that means). Then after you get killed a few times, you choose to complain about it. some trolls abusing passive mode. Should be fixed.'And no they're not abusing it, they are just using the features that Rockstar gave them. You had the option to go into passive when you were being fired at and chose not to use it.

Yeah i have video of it, Once i get it transferred from my PS4 and edit it down from the last 2 minutes than i'll post it. Best way to avoid a lock on is to fly stright up and do a full loop and as you're coming down switch to hover so they fly pass you get behind em and shoot em down.

I.haigh Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 There's a cool down timer when you switch out of passive mode, use that time to take them out, when they go passive escape, find a new lobby, go underground, if you hangout in the open and keep fighting back you're only giving them a reason to keep coming after you.

Potato Bean Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 My advice is to buy an insurgent. It only costs about $600k but for some odd reason, it costs nearly $17k to replace. My brother and I cost this one tool in a hydra at least $100k in less than 5 minutes because we kept calling our insurgents and parking them next to each other. Once they realize what you're up to, they'll back off. I did it to another wannabe in a tank earlier. After he destroyed it like 3 times, I could drive up to him in it and he wouldn't fire in fear of losing even more money. I don't know if its a bug or not, but I do hope rockstar never changes it.

derek0514 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Early in the game I had a Paleto Bay strategy to avoid trolls and the carnage that is LS. I would simply switch to a mission or another lobby if things get too hot. Now with 3 properties I have a south side strategy. One of them is almost like a fortress with lots of cover. It's my own killing ground for trolls who want mess with me there.

It's getting ridiculous, I know people will say just go passive yourself but I find that boring and hate changing my play style because of some trolls abusing passive mode. Should be fixed. I've been doing this with the Savage too. Completely disagree with your complaint though, Hydras probably shouldn't need to go passive, but I have no problem if they do, because put simply the homing missile is the most unbalanced weapon in the game. It really makes me laugh when I kill someone in Savage, or Buzzard, or even Annihilator, and then they say some sh*t like "you need a helicopter noob" without realising that helis take more skill than anything in this game, especially the Annihilator. But then they use that piece of sh*t homing missile & act as though it takes skill? Da fuqq! I don't know why Rockstar has not severely nerfed the homing missile, or buffed all helicopters, but it needs to change, and until it does, I hope all in game pilots keep using passive mode to stay safe against the homing menace!

I am going to try the front flip maneuver tomorrow when I get online I wouldn't follow those maneuvers if I were you as they're a sure fire way to die fast, one thing I found funny in that video is the reason why the majority of jet guys in this game are ass & that a change to the cannon would have been a better more balanced decision. They can't aim... Look at all of them, 99% of them spray around, even if it's not quite as garbage as this guy, they still spray aim, a change to the cannons to make them more Buzzard or Annihilator like would soon stop Jet spawn kill fags & there would be no need for an OP homing missile.

The Hydra can take one rocket before it starts smoking giving you time to jump out of it, It took a whole clip of heavy sniper to the tailpipe before it even started smoking and just beware if you snipe the pilot get out of the way if they are hovering because it hovers for about 10 seconds than comes straight down Edited March 16, 2015 by Troubadour Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/776193-hydras-going-passive-mode-when-i-lock-on-to-them/#findComment-1067140814 Share on other sites More sharing options...
