Can you steal a jet on convoy?

[EnthusedDeath]

Can you?

[Red Lynx 23]

I've heard you can. But it might be tricky to land at the yellow marker, to be told to wait for the convoy. Not to mention not having your jet stolen by someone else if you're playing with randumbs.

[StangOne50]

Can you try it and let us know?

 

Can you?

Well, after you take out the convoy, there is no timer and the helos don't come until you get in the truck. My friends and I got to convoy last time on CM challenge and lost cause of a BS rocket that came out of the side of the chopper. So I was thinking...3 guys take out the convoy and one go for a jet. I will try it if anyone else will let me..otherwise I have to wait for friends.

You could probably just wait for them to all get to the marker, then fly over it low & slow. I don't know how generous that marker is, but on many missions you really only have to get semi-close, not right on it, and not stopped.

[Soran Is On]

Why the hell wouldn't you just parachute to the marker at the end of the mission...

 

Not everyone even needs to be at the marker, just the truck. OY.

He's referring to the marker where you all have to meet at the bridge to trigger the action to begin. Not the one at the end of the mission.

Yes. You can (I speak from experience) take a jet in any of the setups and finales. Is it practical? No.

(missions too for that matter)

 

Many of the setups require all players to be in a specific place at a specific time, but if you can make the time.. jets will always spawn at Ft. Zancudo. Some heists and setups have wanted levels disabled, making jet acquisition quite easy.

 

My fav is grabbing one on the pacific finale, or as gunner on the Humane Labs Raid.

 

 

@OP:

 

The convoy will drive all the way to Los Santos if you don't engage it right away. If you go to the road north of the waypoint (the one you take the bikes on in Pac Standard, with the tunnel), a Mesa will spawn as the convoy goes by. Grab it and you can drive right along with the convoy for as long as you like. (This would buy plenty of time to get a jet)

1. That's good information, gotta try it out. I've been hurting for some different ways to make these missions different and interesting, since they're a little more scripted than conventional missions.

2. Pac finale..? How does that work - when do you grab it?

Because of the wanted level, this is a super risky move, especially with multiple people. (no AI jets, but plenty-o-tanks on the ground.

 

Grab one at anytime after players have gotten on Lectros. I grab a PV on the way (Del Perro) for this method.

Crazy. So basically you're taking time out of that last 10 minute run to stop off for a jet? You're a real thrill seeker, man.

[Turkish Turketarian]

Seems like it would just make all these heist missions take longer...

[soundism]

It is absolutely a waste of time. Also, I wouldn't recommend it when playing with randoms... they tend to be less understanding when a tank shell finds you in mid canopy-smash animation.

[RogerWho]

It would be awesome if you could do it in Vans with some 2-seater plane. Navigator: Left, right, back, here it is. Now land just behind it so I can take a pic. Damn it's driven away, get back in the air so we can catch it

I wish I knew of a reliable plane spawn other than the Lazer in missions.

I understand why Pegasus vehicles are disabled in heists, but man oh man.. pacific-vans would be amazing with a Dodo and the navigator hanging from the side!!

There used to be a fairly reliable spawn of a police chopper or unarmed buzzard on the roof of the police station next to rooftop rumble during missions. Not sure if that still works but you were able to get it by jumping a ruffian up the side of the bridge onto the roof the chopper is on.

[CrysisAverted]

nope. Tried it, nothing was there.

 

I tried stealing a Lazer in the following

Convoy = no

Avi Setup = yes

Stealing a plane from Vagos Setup = yes

do u really need a jet?

I think the insurgent is good enough for this

just make sure your driver have good driving skill

I usually just drive ahead in my Carbo and kill all the road blocks while the other guys deliver the trucks. works good. You could use a Kuruma for the same thing if you are into that kind of new school bulletproofing. Insurgent isn't really bulletproof enough for that kind of thing.

[CrysisAverted]

Its not any less bulletproof than a Carbo + ducking in your vehicle makes getting hit by AI rare

[Shadowfennekin]

I've thought of trying in some setups but what's the point? If a random dies, you restart and went all that way for nothing.

 

And there is no way in hell I'd try on PS Finale, if it didn't spawn I'm trapped in there.

You can drive right out by using those things shaped like ramps

[Sky_Light12]

well when all 3 ppl in marker , how about the pilot fly close enough at marker ?

[MrMadMike]

Sounds fun, I like using the jet for no reason in missions

It amuses me
