Idea On The Neglected Rhino For Online

[Rabid Vulpix]

It's been debated for long time, however it's still annoying.

Personally I'm quite fine with the amount of military vehicles already in the game & prefer that no more are added. However the classic Rhino has really been abused in the sense of it's potential. Given how it's health has been nerfed & the introduction of Savages, Hydras, & Insurgents, there's really no value in purchasing/using the Rhino tank other than for fun in Contact Missions.

What about one tiny change in the Rhino in the next update? More specifiaclly the ability for a second player to use the mounted machine gun on top. Even if said weapon had explosive rounds, it's not like it would come even remotely close to outclassing some of the powerhouse DLC vehicles. So of course it would be more of just a fun feature to use now & then, not nessicarily an all out dominating weapon in the game.

People are free to disagree, for whatever reasons of personal overpower logic. However keep in mind that already in Free Roam, the Rhino is a cake walk to avoid or to destroy compared to the Insurgents. So really all this usable secondary position would offer is another fun co-op style strategy for friends. & of course it could add some unique style to approaching Contact Missions.

Easy.

 

Now that it has an icon (something that should've been from the beginning) the Rhino can now return to its glory. Full armor, faster turret turning at the cost of speed and RoF. Also BRING THE TANK SNIPING! What's the point of owning an Anti-material sniper rifle that can't even penetrate a car?!

[Sentinel Driver]

Buff the Rhino! Rhino is an endangered species! Stop the homing launcher that is sh*tting on the balance of gta online and sh*tting on every high rank's achievements

[flino]

- Insurgent armor

- KERS boost (like a rhino charge)

- slower acceleration and top speed to counter KERS feature

- slower RoF

- usable machine gun

[85 Diplomat]

Seriously. Why did Cockstar f*cking ruin the tank. It also has a coax

[Crunch McThornbody]

I want the original tank back, none of this cardboard armour bullsh*t.

 

Tank battles used to be FUN! Now it's bang-bang-bang-dead, when before you had a chance to get out of the way round a corner to wait for your opponent to catch up and be in your gun sight as soon as they turned the corner.

[Mattoropael]

Make the coax and commander MG usable, and nerf main gun RoF in return. That alone should make tanks fearsome again until a Hydra shows up.

 

I freaking hate it when games omit the coaxial machine gun for no reason, especially if they've modeled the said gun but don't let you use it, as in the case of GTAV, BF:BC and many other.

The rhino is only neglected by the players because only noobs usualy used them....yet its simple to still get a kd ratio of 2.0 with it i think.

That being said...i woudnt have a problem if the mg woud work and has the power of the mg on the technical but i doubt thats a small change.

To give it explosive rounds is insane though...unless you like cheap kills

Bruh, explosive rounds would be too much. I love the tank, and yes deserves an armor buff for sure.

[Captain Sensib1e]

Just got 12 kills (1 death) the other day. Still useful in the right situation. Think along the lines of combined arms...

 

Anyhoo, still easy enough to go under radar and get an easy 4-5 kills and drive away cackling maniacally into your headset.

Slower acceleration? Its already like the slowest accelerating vehicle in the game, I can ride a bike faster.

[Dottie]

Make it more like a real tank please

Usable MG by a passenger

Slower turret rotation speed (its way too fast)

Slower reload time (again its too fast)

Longer range (its has the lowest range of any projectile explosive)

Pre-nerf health

Add back tank sniping. Even as a ex-tank griefer i didnt mind this feature at all

Not making cars blow up all the damn time when it touches the tread would also be nice

Meanwhile... jet griefer achieved 1000 kills/0 deaths

 

[Daemian]

What I don't like about the tank is how fast the turret turns and how fast it reloads, if you adjust those two and add more armor it wouldn't be so bad, also it's not a bad idea for the machine gun to work but no explosive rounds, it'll be a support gun, nothing to extreme.

Edited July 12, 2015 by Daemian

[SteelBeams]

The rhino used to be as strong, if not stronger than the Insurgent with the amount of explosive damage it could take, and was severely nerfed by R* due to mass griefing, rendering it effectively useless unless your entire crew is rolling together, making you unstoppable.

 

It sucks it had to be this way, but what else could you expect? I think it shouldve had a really high level cap to begin with instead of just a measly 1.5m pricetag.

 

At this point i just wanna see the coax mg be a usable weapon, and to allow a second person to ride in the turret, using the .50cal

[LieutenantLoserz]

The Rhino had had injustice, and needs to be brought back to it's former glory

 

Also, bring back the APC, but make it an actual APC (The APC was more of a IFV or Infantry Fighting Vehicle, something like that)

[hornedturtle]

Spent 20min killing cops out of boredom in it and my mental state stayed at 0....can't even farm mental state in it anymore

[MadeBrazen]

Since the original nerf, we have seen the savage and hydra introduced, both with tank busting capabilities. Def time to beef that baby up a bit.

 

Reckon R* have gotta let the storm settle with the heist vehicles first, just to see how the community adopt them, reckon they know what's up and the Rhino species will see a glorious controlled return

[BondageKitty]

The tank health should be raises back to its normal value. Even the Insurgent has more health. I "suicide" ram tanks with my Insurgent covered in sticky bomb and the tank blows up while my Insurgent doesn't even smoke.

[Rabid Vulpix]

What I don't like about the tank is how fast the turret turns and how fast it reloads.

 

 

The turret rotation speed I don't mind.

Useful in Contact Missions to spin around to knock off little kids that try to hop on & steal/throw you out of the Rhino.

We can't lock our Pegasus vehicles, but at least with the Rhino you can keep punks from taking it from you.

& the perfect example of how R* has basically countered on it's own anti-overpowered vehicle nerf attempt in the past. They took such pride in their new Heist Vehicle (Insurgent), they didn't care that the classic GTA vehicle (Rhino) was unrealistically weaker.

Sure you're right it's not bad in those situations but still its somewhat fast with that reload time

[westsxde]

I just want it to go fast again. Used to be faster than a fully modded zentorno, now it's slow as a turtle lol

[hornedturtle]

Dafuk...no need for personal attacks

 

All it needs is its Armour back

I don't use it for attacking players. (Maybe my boyfriend time n time again but) I usually use it for Lester's purple circles, killing targets, blowing up Gerald's vehicles, etc. I just want the speed back.

[crack1king]

I still use mine. I love the damn thing

[DeadArashi]

-More armour

-slower RoF for main gun

-usable coax gun

-usable commander gun

-slower acceleration

-slower turning

-more weight

 

-HIGHER PRICE (seriously, super cars cost more then a millitary main battle tank? I'm calling a big fat case of bullsh*t, or at least put a level cap on it for level 100... and then do that for all military vehicles, you should have to work for it, not put $10 in to get it)

I would love to see the rhino be buffed back up, I just wish it looked like the rhino from GTA:SA.

[GTAOnlineAddict123]

Rhino tank is still a far deadlier machine than a Savage or a Buzzard. More armour, more firepower, better accuracy, the shots travel at a better velocity, etc.

if you're in a Rhino and can't take out either of those, how will you take out a Hydra? A much more of an agile target.

It's all about being responsive with the cannon. If you're good, you can take down anything, including Hyrdas and P-996 Lazers.

How does the Rhino have more firepower than a chopper that can shred sh*t with explosive rounds and constant homing rockets simultaneously.

Taken out Rhinos with buzzard and savage, just gotta get out of their range and spam rockets at them, I believe its easier now too thanks to the locking on working on players now.

In addition, being in a tank is a pain, everyone on the ground constantly driving into you and placing stickies prompting you to kill them and pay the f*cking insurance.

I'll admit, it doesn't if you get close enough. The range on Savage's cannon is horrible. Tank cannon however deals more damage than missiles. It requires two missiles to destroy a Hydra, something a Rhino tank can destroy in one shot. Edited July 16, 2015 by GTAOnlineAddict123
