Homing Missiles

[ValiantViper]

Ok im probs gonna get a lot of hate but i just want to hear what people think.

I think homing missiles should have a requirement of 70+ or even on the level of the gatling gun as its just to good and OP.

When ever i see anyone in a heli or plane it takes 1 shot to blow them up no matter what they do even if they try turn or go round a building the rocket follows them no matter where they go and blows them up there is just no escape.

I think it should be hard to get and at least take 2 shots to take down a heli and plane and even 3 shots for the armoured helis such as savage and a few others.

Or they can even change it so its more balanced with laser targerting or something i dunno.

Im not angry cause i get shotdown i really dont care ill just call it in again no big deal, but aint this is what passive mode is for if u dont want to be killed.

You should be able to have flares on your heli/planes so u can escape the missiles, but not unlimited.

I do think rockstar should look into this and balance it out more.

I get away from missiles all the time in my hydra so theres that but IMO as a long time player I say nope leave them where they are. They were needed to stop the pure grief from jets and helis. Before they were implemented you were either in free roam flying a jet or getting killed by a jet unless you were in missions.
helis could be balanced but meh I dont really care. I use a heli for missions now and then. If you dont want to be shot at then dont fly close enough for people to shoot at you

yh a hydra can get away easy cause of its speed and ability to turn really fast cant be shot down if ur good, but a heli cant turn fast and u cant kill people or compete cause of the rockets they need to be 2 shots at least for helicopters and helicopters should have flares to help againts missiles which is a good idea as they cant compete at all, not unlimited flares tho.

 

U said If you dont want to be shot at then dont fly close enough for people to shoot at you but thats what i want to do kill people but there 1 shot kill and uc ant escape at all or kill anyone when they have one, just fly around and be bored and cant pvp? good luck againts pvp no matter how good u are u can not kill anyone who has one.

Isn't this meant to be discussed in the GTA online section?

First time I used one (in SP), it locked onto the wrong thing and blew up 3 inches from my face. Oops.

 

Also, nah, they're really kinda needed to stop aircraft griefing in Online. As said above, stay away from people or fly high enough that they can't shoot you. Even the Apache IRL can be taken down by one well-aimed RPG. Just pretend you're in Iraq or something

so you are trying to kill players with your heli.

That's why they added overpowered homing missiles.

what else are u ment to do with a savage or other heli with guns? fly around and do nothing its online for a reason for dog fighting someone can go get in there heli i agree they can shoot it down to but not with 1 shot.. to op heli should have a few flares to stop the missiles from hitting or at least 2 shots with the homing missile to destroy a heli not 1 shot, but people with low level or passive mode players wont understand about the rockets cause they complain about helis, im not saying get rid of them im saying balance it out more as they should not be allowed.

 

The insurgent is a heist vehicle that takes 3 homing missiles to destroy ur telling me thats not op and a savage armored heli takes 1 shot, even a normal plane people fly around.

 

Flares would make sense but not an unlimited supply, or 2 shots with a missile at least to destroy.
