Nerf/Remove The Homing Launcher


Missfinley
 Share

Recommended Posts

Homing launchers are overpowered and are nearly impossible to evade in helicopters,
I am writing to see if anyone agrees with me. In my opinion the weapon should be removed or nerfed, If none of these are possible for rockstar to do or disagree with me then why not add in some counter measures such as deploy able flares.

 

I know a lot of people will disagree but if you do agree, feel free to sign the petition that will hopefully get enough signatures to make rockstar realise the problems with the weapon.

Petition: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/saynotohominglaunchers

Petitions are stupid, lame and accomplish nothing. The HOMING launcher isn't going anywhere. Don't like it? Don't play the game. What else would you like to cry about? Want some cheese for that whine? SMH

Hey its this topic again...

 

 

In a game where everyone uses AUTO stupid AIM. People want to nerf the one weapons thats actually meant to AUTO AIM. Which makes me bust a freakin' gut laughing.

 

 

Hey.. if you don't want to get blown out of the sky so easily. Stay the f*ck away from hostile players or use passive... OR just don't fly.

 

 

I've NEVER been blown up by a homming rocket.. I wonder why?

Because you're a passive mode noob?

It's already nerfed, if a vehicle is more than 10 feet away it won't lock on. If you get shot down by one then you're just a bad pilot.

You clearly don't own a Valkyrie or a savage.

removing or nerfing the homing launcher is one way to do it (I think noobs with rocket launchers is bad ting) however I think a more progressive and hopefully more people agree with.

I belive that helicopters especially the Valkyrie and savage need protective armour or even better... FLARES! I believe Flares would add a new level of skill and protection for the Helicopter that made me poor

Remember that HELO was 2.8 million and is a military Helicopter with no flares or armour.

Rockstar could disable rocket launchers in freemode. I'd rarely get killed by a griever then.

They could just add some armor to the Valkyrie and Savage so it takes two missiles to fully explode. Problem solved without removing or nerfing but some buffing instead. I would rather see more buffs than nerfs, do you know what I am saying?

Agreed the military standard Helicopters need buffing

All in all the homing launchers "lock" is pretty weak (Ever watch people try to shoot down the smuggler plane?)

Myself, I am confident I can dodge and shoot back at somebody using a homing launcher...

Except in the helicopters you mentioned, the Savage, Valkyrie, and Annihilator could all use a little help in that field.

Maybe just a boost in top speed, or being able to withstand a single homing missile.

Though the Savage and Valkrie are definitely heavily armed (And I think a Valkyire crew could still help call out the launchers location and the Valkyrie pilot could evade with a sweeping turn) so we'd have to be careful about making them more durable.

Actually. I think the missiles are definitely dodge-able. But a system in more advanced or weaponized helicopters that help identify the direction of the lock would help.

Grow up, its not getting a nerf.

Nobody wants to sign your childish petition and rockstar won't even look at it to piss on

Go play another game

Idiot

Another day and another thread involving the homing launcher lol,

 

Stop crying about the damn HL! its here to stay and nothing you do is going to change that so please you and whoever else that is thinking of making a similar thread please just stop already.

 

Im sorry to seem rude but all this forum seems to be full of lately is players crying "nerf this" or "nerf that" "this weapom is too OP" "this vehicle is too OP" blah blah blah. I mean play the game and deal with it FFS! Fly high out of HL range or fly away from the blips on the map or go passive mode even. I mean try something else frst before coming in here and wasting time creating a thread whining..

I honestly would like a better warning system for the pilot flying, every time ive been shot down by one, no matter how far away the shooter was, i heard exactly ONE warning buzz, then instantly blew up, you cant even see the rocket incoming, nor can you bail in time.

 

I cant stand how well those rockets turn, either, you could be flying straight at someone, pass them just as they fire their rocket, and that bitch will loop around and hunt you down like a bat out of hell.

 

 

Ever since the release of the homing launcher, coupled with the hydra, if im flying anything that isnt armed, i fly in an invite only lobby. There is nothing more annoying than minding your own business, flying through downtown LS in your Besra, and getting shot down by some bloodthirsty noob who you posed ZERO threat to.

The homing launcher shouldn't be nerf but helicopters should be improved to be able to take at least 2 homing rocket shot, Especially for attack choppers. U should have more than enough time to evade the second homing shot due to the reload and lock on speed of the homing launcher. The reason why we shouldn't have it removed is because taking out helicopters and aircraft would be almost impossible. For now fly around Los santos in a cargobob XD
