Prison Break Heist Pilot Strategy

[Shadowfennekin]

All you have to do is tail....

OMG you guys are noobs. Just crash the plane immediately into Los Santos International and you get a small amount of cash and RP, but here's the beautiful thing; you can do it again and again until you're a millionaire! The hard part is finding a good group, though, because noobs always scream at you over the mic and demand you finish the mission. They clearly don't know how to play the game.

Nice try but you get paid nothing after the first fail.

I really don't know how you can fail at doing this. The best of it is jet pilot insulting you when you are too close.

 

i was expecting that pilot gives you a finger or at least other gestures , just like in minor turbulence

I fly in a circle around the prison and tail the Lazers. Then I let the Demo guy help out the ground team by locking on to NOOSE and taking some out. Makes it easier on the ground team and quicker.

Is there any danger of failure when attacking the Prison with the chopper, other than death? IE can the Demo guy blow up a bus or whatever and f*ck everyone?

Chopper has to stay outside of the prison compound like the Plane or you will get a timer that you are "leaving the area" and you'll get locked on too by Homing Launchers if you don't clear out quickly. Have to stay outside the prison fences but you can still lock on to enemies, it's just more difficult cause some NOOSE will be out of range and so you'll have to change your position. Also, you can probably blow up the Riot Van if the ground team gets to close to the Police Vehicles. Just gotta be careful and not just fire-at-will like some mouth breather. Just co-ordinate with the ground team.

Agree with the flying behind the Laser method - works a treat.

 

Where do most people land to pick them up? I have always landed on the far end of the sandy shores runway, and managed to take off without issue each time, although there have been a couple of close moments trying to get off the ground before a police car drives into you...

 

I understand you can land anywhere and think they even say that in the briefing - is there anywhere people recommend?

I always land at the tip of the runway.

 

Maybe next time I should try to land it at the prison parking lot. lol

I'm always landing on that large field right in front of the prison (the one where the satellite dishes are located)

 

No obstacles, police needs some time to get there and it's right around the corner for the ground Team.

If the pilot is a moron he can lead one of the jets missiles into the buzzard no lock on sound ether.
