Nerf/Remove The Homing Launcher

Recommended Posts

The homing launcher has already been nerfed since the first igg update, it has maybe a 60% success rate for hits on lock ons now. The only weapon that needs to be removed is the marksmen rifle, it's just a sh*tty cop out weapon for people who can't get kills any other way

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?

 

Too busy proving how hardcore you are by using free aim in a game designed for aim assist I would wager.

It doesn't have to be nerfed or removed. Just f*cking rank locked.

This. Why is the RPG rank 100, but the HL isn't rank locked, and can be free-fired? Lock that to rank 150 or something.

It's pretty clear why bro...

 

It's because R* only give a sh*t about new players as that means another copy sold and another x amount of money in the bank. Us long term players don't mean a damn thing to R*.

 

It's why every new player ranked 1 can have a special carbine, proxy mines, homing launcher, marksman pistol , assault shotgun and a list of other weapons plus a Hydra, Savage, Insurgent, Kuruma and a list of other weaponised vehicles from the heist update . We old players are not even thought of lol.

Still trying to figure out how a player wouldn't level up once before unlocking all that stuff you just said.

Because you're a passive mode noob?

 

 

 

Passive noob?

 

 

If im not in combat and flying around and someone tries to attack me... Passive noob it is. its there for a reason. Theres nothing noob about it. If im in combat mode, il be on the ground kicking ass. Not flying in my f*ckin' Dodo.

 

 

But for the most part.. i can just avoid getting into lock on by avoiding getting near players.

 

 

Besides.. only a noob complains about the lock on rockets.

 

So have fun...lol

Im not trying to prove anything... Im just making a POINT.. and a SOLID one.

 

Bunch of clowns in the sky.. flying around trying to kill players and then they get MAD when they get locked on by a weapon designed to do so.

 

Yet.. when they get on the ground they spam Auto aim all day long.

 

That is f*ckin bizzaro backwards thinking.

 

 

And if you think the game is designed to be played with auto aim... Thats your problem. Me, i have no problems missing some shots and using free aim. And i have no problems with an actual weapon designed to auto aim..

 

Some people just don't like dealing with the truth is guess..lol

How many times do people have to mention the fact that it no longer locks onto a target after the update before you all stop saying it needs nerfed? Just another stupid thread that should have been posted in the B&M thread like the other 1000 about the HL.

Why don't you go in passive mode if you don't want to be shot down?

 

Why don't you just fly out of range?

Because they want to make it rain bullets and explosives from the sky.. with lock on rockets. And destroy the ground players.

 

They are not being passive... they are looking for kills and thrills. And there's ONE weapon that can null it, hence.. they complain about it.

First shot on a police heli is ALWAYS a miss.

I have a better solution. Why not make it lock onto ARMED vehicles and ARMED vehicles only? No lock-on onto civilian aircraft like the Cuban 800 or Maverick, but an instant lock for armed vehicles like the Savage/Buzzard etc. The Annihilator is an exception though, the thing is already weak.

 

 

no you don't, ill just shoot you down and make you cry again with my launcher that will never be removed

Such mature, much adult, wow.

Don't yell at people, telling them to "grow up" when you act like a preteen kid.

Yeah choppers are defenseless against it, but I love making people waste all their ammo from missles I dodge from them XD

Obviously they would in reality but hypothetically they can have all the above mentioned as there is no level lock. It's what I'm getting at bro lol.

Like i said earlier in the thread, the rockets turning capabilities need to be hampered some, its way too OP as is, and the pilot of the targeted aircraft needs to receive a fair warning instead of one buzz, and a fatal explosion a half second later, especially when flying an armed aircraft, one that would logically have an SAM warning system.

 

I remember back in 2013 and early 2014, when you were dogfighting with lazers, and your enemy was using a rocket, you got a warning that they locked on to you, and another warning when they fired, allowing you time to react to their f*ckery, with the homing launcher, you get ONE lock on buzz RIGHT before the rocket impacts...f*cking bullsh*t.

Ya, it's totally by accident that it defaults to aim assist, and that twin stick layouts for 3rd person are notoriously inaccurate.

 

I don't have a problem with the homing launcher. I quite enjoy letting people blow $15,000 using a weapon that barely hits a target that is standing still

Me? Not mature? I really thank you dear sir for the good laugh. I don't go around this forum giving the middle finger to everyone who disagrees, unlike you. Me? I try to stay OT and explain what passive players want. Meanwhile you go around name-calling people "f*ck off kid".

 

Who's mature now?

Not you

And its surely not you either.

I'm pretty sure my friend's 5yo sister is more mature, because she doesn't go around people yelling "I KAN KEL U WID MAH STOF N U KANT DO ANYDENG ABOUT IT!!!!1". You do.

 

Don't act like a preteen and nobody will have a problem.

you do realize that you can lock on to players PV's in the buzzard, savage and jets now, so....... that balance things out a bit. ive also noticed that the homing launcher is a little slower to turn and doesn't turn as sharp as it used to. but as many ppl have posted stop bit*hin n get over it.
