Savage Co-Pilot can use missiles now?

[Ghost XB]

Has this always been a feature, how co-pilots can use the Savage Missiles? It wasn't in the IGG Part 2 Patch Notes so I'm curious. I bought Savage like 4 days after heists came out, and have never noticed this

Maybe it was fixed

[Ghost XB]

Maybe it was fixed

Kind of overpowered though, in my opinion. Having Explosive Cannons + Missiles at once.

[ninjaontour]

This is, apparently, now the case.

[The Gator]

It's an attack helicopter with a co-pilot seat, who has access to weapons.

 

Realistically, the co-pilot should have access to the cannon and be sitting in the front. But we're taking baby steps here.

better then nothing

[Mottershead]

Great! So now we have another attack chopper with missiles that some bell-end co-pilot can take over control of.

[Mike324467]

Who thought it was a good idea to give co pilots missiles? They're better off with a camera.

[CarnageRacing00]

Great! So now we have another attack chopper with missiles that some bell-end co-pilot can take over control of.

 

And we also have a homing launcher that will take care of a good majority of the wannabe pilots who play this game. Don't worry, only the best pilots are anything to worry about.

[Nutduster]

So now, the pilot can use the explosive cannons while the co-pilot fires four rockets in a burst?

 

I know what I'M doing all weekend. And I thought it was fun carrying around two passengers with RPGs in the side seats!

So, what you're saying is that I'm nothing to worry about?

 

Cool.

Yeah, kind of tried to test it out with a noob as the gunner in LSC mission. He figured out to fire the rockets as we took off. But then when we got to the hanger, we wouldn't fire. Whatev.

 

So I just dropped him off and started blasting away.

I was meaning more for the missions when you need the rockets and the co-pilot has control of them.

Oh, I see. Well, that can definitely be an issue at times... but I suppose if you're gonna try to lone wolf those missions, you'd might as well just play them alone anyway. I'll occasionally go on a solo mission spree with my Buzzard, earn some quick cash then go back to joining public jobs.

[Shadowfennekin]

Seriously? That is f*cking stupid. I love the Savage because copilots CAN'T do that. Now it's the Buzzard all over again. I'm sticking with my Hydra on contact missions for sure

[mightynighty]

thanks for this info

[Nutduster]

Just make them sit in the side seats, problem solved. And at least the Savage's machine gun is about a thousand times more effective than the Buzzard's pea-shooters.

[ash-274]

Buzzard and Savage need a option like:

"The Co-Pilot has requested control of the missiles. Press (button) to assign control to them"

OR

"The Co-Pilot is now in control of the missiles. Press (button) to punch them in the face and throw their sorry ass out of the helicopter"

 

It would be more convenient than flying toward a unavoidable object, bailing out at the last moment to safety, then requesting another helicopter from Pegasus while the guy respawns.

Option 2 always

We need option 2

[CrysisAverted]

first they make the hydra easier to grab and give us homing missiles on players

they give us supers worth 30K in insurance

now this

 

the R* plot to cost us millions to buy shark cards is real

This fits with an unmentioned tank rebuff too. Now give the tank a gunner seat and a little ground air toe to toe would be pretty cool

[Soran Is On]

I heard homing onto players in vehicles was removed. Confirmation?

[Desu Nei]

Oh really? Is it a pretty good rebuff, or is it still so crap that the Insurgent, which I must point is even referred to as a LIGHT ARMORED PERSONNEL VEHICLE by the agent in the Humane Labs raid, will still be able to take more explosions than it will?

I dunno man it's all theoretical to me anyway. All I know is a nice balance between all these vehicles should be R*s objective and the insurgent is too OP. Three rockets should cripple that sucker.

[Jarlaxle]

Yeah, I just discovered that. We were playing Los Santos Connection and some noob hops in and takes over the missles. Since they no longer lock-on, and since noobs can't free-aim for sh*t, both of our teamates on the ground died and we had nobody left to hack the laptop. Rather than wasting more time entertaining Mr. Missle Happy I just bailed. Hate to do that, but had no choice.

 

Rockstar should extend the vehicle access options from cars to air vehicles. Nobody needs to jump in the chopper unless I say so, and they SURE as Hell shouldn't be able to jack me out of it.

I agree. I really hate those people who can't keep their finger off the trigger for five seconds. Also, when will R* allow you to lock your Pegasus vehicles so you don't get thrown out?

[The Lone Wanderer]

I use the hydra

f*ck you random little mother f*cking missile stealing cock sucking fag whore bitch sh*thead c*nts.

all better

[soundism]

All would be well in the GTA helicopter universe if gunners were given control of the GUNS.

 

Also, yes to PV access options for Pegasus vehicles.

 

Slightly off topic: Anybody else have the bug where, as pilot, you cannot fire your miniguns while your co-pilot is manning the rockets? (Buzzard) and even after they come out of missle-mode, you cannot cycle through lock-on/dumb-fire/miniguns ?

 

I've had this happen on several occasions now..
