You are finding people on bad sport lobbies? damn

 

Are there any active jet crews still on ps3? I was in the 8492 briefly but there werent many active members.

 

Let me know if you find any, i really want an active crew for freeroam, you should add me and we should fly together or something ^^

What exactly is "Line of Sight?"

I dunno lol. The slogan used to be, "nobody gets out of our line of sight." It's like an allstar type team, one might say.

 

 

Eta- invite inbound

Etaa-... whenever this gets sorted:

You should try it out. You'll find a lot of jet action if that's what you're searching for. Also, there are some great pilots in the crew that are down to 1v1 merge with you. We party up all the time and just do whatever. This crew was a game changer for me.

Each commend allows you 4 car explosions (good sport points). You have to just start hounding your friends for those commends. I'm sure mine are sick of it lol. Every ten minutes I'm like, "hey bro, trade commends?" Edited by Smooth Longsack

I've never ever been in BS and I blow up a lot of people's cars sometimes, the one game i think it was like somewhere between 9 and 13 in about a hour or 2

 

I had my mic banned once for no reason, other than everybody must of thought I was the modder talking sh*t to them and killing them

I love it when I hit or tap another jet and it destroys said jet.

 

(Video was recorded a while ago, so I was a lower rank at the time.)

Guys if anyone could answer this question I would appreciate it. I am currently considering a Hydra but is it worth it if I can just use the Lazar instead? Which one is more agile in mid flight? Pros cons?

The hydra is far and away the most deadly vehicle you can own. Buy it.

Is that how people snipe? Lol :blink:

 

No offense but no wonder you don't see many good snipers. You are just straffing side to side till the crosshair is on the enemy and the worst thing was that you were shooting while it wasn't. :facedesk:

I just spawned there and that guy was aiming at me. I will always switch to fpv for prolonged sniper fights. I only missed one shot badly as i was anticipating him reversing his strafe. The clip is only in there because the guy got hit by the car and it made me lol.

 

Lemme ask you something: do you even strafe bro?

Oh yes, I'm on ps3 by the way, so I don't have faster straffing with fpv. But my tactic is different, I don't just press x and that's it. ;)

 

" i was anticipating him reversing his strafe" Don't do that, or you will always depend on luck. Pro tip: Don't ever let your enemy decide when you can shoot him, drag scope the f*cker.

I get it. Sniping is a different animal on cg though. That strafing technique, in a firefight like in the vid, is all that is out there because of that fpv accelerated strafe. That's just how those fights go. The strafe speed on fpv is dizzying.

 

Yeah i could have dragged the scope a lil better/faster the but like i said, I'm usually in fpv for that type of engagement. The first shot looked like it could have been a hit. The second was a clear miss and the third shot killed him. That's not too bad. What sucks is the other guy who spawnded just to my left was already shooting me by the time i lowered the heavy.

 

I'll try to get better :(

quick question for the jet pilots amongst us , at what altitude does the homing launcher fail to get a lock or even track you ? an i mean altitude using the altimeter in 1st person/cockpit view.

 

i usually orbit the city at high altitude, then dive for attacks and then zoom climb up back to safety, i think it'd be handy to know exactly how low i can safely go before the ground based launchers come in to play,it might save a few seconds in the dive or climb out?

It's around 500 ft. You'd have to use Pythagoras to figure out the actual distance from the hl though as the ground pounders cant aim straight up. I'd imagine the lock on range is roughly 600ft based on Pythagoras. That would be an easy one to test. Instead of using math and jets we could just drive a car away and measure where the lockon fails.

sounds reasonable, may try it with a hydra in hover to get the vertical distance , knowing rockstars messed up physics there's no saying that the vertical and horizontal distances are going to be the same :blink:

This would be a very interesting experiment to do.^^^

 

If anyone needs help with it let me know, but I definitely want to know the results.

Playing with the editor. Here's a few different views of a lazer eating a hydra.

We have FINDINGS!!!!!

 

For the homing launcher.

 

Horizontal Distance-1,450 ft

Vertical Distance- 1,200 ft

Hypotenuse- 1,882 ft(Approx)

 

Tested using a hydra for the target. We are calculating an exclusion zone now.

We actually made even more calculations. Pm me if you want the details, otherwise I'll see you in game.

I know the Valkyrie gun is effective to around 700ft and that's a good 100ft more than the HL lock-on, usefully...
