The Vehicle Wishlist and Speculation Topic

[Flyin_Japman]

Remember, R* cares more about the PvP people than the rest of us. This is more so something to speculate than wish for. Doesn't have to be armed, but I'm sure there's going to be that one person who wants it to have missiles.

 

If they add a flying car with guns and missiles, whose to say they won't add yet another grief tool. I would just want it use it to spot OtR people.

 

As for the OC, it is too expensive for hardline PvP/griefmasters to use frequently. $500,000 for manual aiming, and a cooldown afterwards.

I just remembered yesterday. The freakin' Esperanto. An almost forgotten car. Where the f*ck is that?

God, how I miss the Esperanto.

 

Perfect transportation for taking your buds to the bowling alley.

 

I hope they add it eventually.

I can already see R* adding the Esperanto but with a twist:

i'm with you, man! There's enough of this militarized bullsh*t!

Don't get me wrong, I love some of the militarized stuff. I love cruising around in my half track with a friend, going on rampages against the cops, but.. give me a fighting chance. I wouldn't hate the deluxo so much if the missiles werent so OP. If they were buzzard missiles, with the same buzzard cooldown, and still limited to 20 or 30, Id probably be ok with it. Its when sh*t gets too hard to counter that I get frustrated. I still don't like the idea of the predator, because I'd bet dollars to donuts that IF R* actually implemented it, it would be 4-5 mil, flyable like a plane except you aren't putting yourself in harm's way, and it would have missiles and aimable machine guns. The KD warriors would be out in force. Now.. if it were a "mission only" thing, or a "certain adversary mode only" thing, and not available in free roam, Id be ok with it, but still.

I don't like this kind of stuff and I think R* ruined the game putting too much of these vehicles with such a power they have... They seem to be doing just like they did with the super class: adding a lot of them in every single DLC. There's no need of that. People wanted a militarized update, but it went too far and GTA is getting boring - IMO - because of this. I'm just playing it, still, because the cars they adding every week after the DLC comes.

Ehh, I tend to try to get into a solo public lobby and grind crates. I don't know why I find doing the same missions over and over and over fun, but I do.

 

I was thinking about this last night, if they made the control center for the drone a military 6x6, about the same age as the duneloader, and they made it like the Chenobog where you can only control the drone while stationary. (And the drone spawns on the ground, not in the air, with a slow-ish speed,) I'd probably be ok with it. Maybe. Still, I think being able to grief someone without actually putting yourself in harms way is kinda bullsh*t.

[SMC-93]

I like scruffys idea. But in addition to what he said, give both the predator and 6x6 a special color coded blip (so you know exactly who's using it n where they are), if one piece is destroyed the other is disabled and you're limited to the 4-6 buzzard-esque visible missiles on the wings. Once those are used up it can only used for recon. There's a timer on the missile "reload", no matter how many times you put it away and take it back out, 1 missile takes "x" amount of time to reload

Cheval is Holden, Declasse is Chevrolet.

I thought declasse is oldsmobile, because cheval sound more chevy, oh well thx i suppose

 

"Declasse" is French, just as "Chevrolet" is. Classique is/was Oldsmobile, though it's half-missing in V. Declasse has become a sort-of catch-all for GM and other various marquees, though. Looking at you, Rhapsody and Tampa.

Ah i see, so it's like R* version of GM, that explain why there are some amc cars in there

 

I wouldn't take the brands too seriously to be fair. Some of them make no sense (Declasse Mamba ) it make you wonder whether some of the car designers at Rockstar HQ actually know cars or are hired to make cars just because of their computer skills.

 

I wish I had the power to sort out or arrange the brands, classes of every vehicle in this game in their right place. I don't think I have OCD but it bugs me sometimes.

So many issues that I have stopped caring.

 

The problem is it keeps happening. like you just mentioned the revolter, plus the pariah are recently added cars in the wrong brand, so it seems this issue is not going anywhere, anytime soon.

It's never bothered me too much, though it's almost never happened with brands that I actually like in the real world. So, for instance, never really bothered me that the Stratum, which is based on a number of different Japanese wagons, is lumped into the "Zirconium" marquee with an RV, the Journey, which is based on a Fleetwood Pace Arrow. But the case of the Revolter, which is heavily inspired by the Cadillac Escala, did bother me, as I have a deep appreciation for Cadillac.

 

Of course, it's not a small problem. We've got two "Western" manufacturers, Western Motorcycle and Western Aircraft, and then there's the case of the "Willard Willard" and "Kraken Kraken" (though that is slightly credible, as the Triton brand does offer models with "Triton" in the model names).

 

I've gone a bit Willys crazy with today's addition to the wishlist, and rightly so. The Willys MB has always been one of my favorite cars, but I've since fallen in love with the oddly obscure company that birthed the iconic Jeep. Though there's also a certain something in this lineup that doesn't fall into the Jeep family, but it still wins the hearts of many for it's iconical utilitarianism.

 

1960s Willys Station Wagon

 

The perfect fusion of the Jeep's rugged build with midcentury American suburbia.

 

1939 Willys Overland

 

A few of you who are fans of LA Noire might remember this thing.

 

The various incarnations of the original Willys Jeep, MB and GPW and CJ.

 

Well, duh.

 

1950s Willys Aero

 

Only ever saw one of these, and it was something to behold, though the owner made it sound rarer than it is.

 

Grumman Long Life Vehicle

 

I know the Boxville sorta-kinda already fills this roll, but this little thing is so often forgotten in video games despite being ubiquitous across the United States.

 

[Scruffyauto9]

^We need the pickup version of that Willy's station wagon. And we need an option to have either the "factory" look of both, or a "custom" variant that's lifted, has large, knobby tires, and a rather large, loud, angry engine transplanted in place.

[Dacelo]

It's kind of nuts to me that we still don't have a Willys Jeep, especially after all the military updates.

[xDatxJunkyx]

Yep. It's my main gripe I have with the game in general, very little variety in terms of car culture. Although with this dripfeed, it's debatable.

 

I hope they continue this trend they started with DDH.

 

If you ask me . . . they need to go a liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitle bit older with the cars. I hope March brings something good... (please no races, please no races, please no races....) A good ol' days content pack would be very nice

Yes if it was me, i'll put that mamba under a vapid brand because it's the closest one for shelby and don't forget cheval surge (chevrolet volt) and cheval fugitive (chevy SS sedan in US market), but it's rockstar anyway they put mazda 787b under annis so yeah, we just have to live with it

 

anyway on topic, this could be a nice addition to the game

 

And the soft top version maybe? or the bennyfied convertible?

 

#International Feel

[Scruffyauto9]

Ive said it before, and I'll say it again:

 

Canis Crusader Classic: based on the Willys MB, with three versions. 1 being a non-weaponized version with a soft top. Another version with a 360° traversing single .50 BMG, (maybe upgradable to dual .50's?) the other a version with two rear-firing .50's, maybe upgradable to dual miniguns?. (Think the Barrages rear facing gun.) all designs can be upgraded to drop proximity mines, as well as having dual Vickers K machine guns mounted on the hood as an optional add-on for the front seat passenger(which, yes, I know makes the unweaponized version weaponized, but it would be add on, done in the avenger or moc.)(As far as the hood mounted guns go, think the Dune FAV, just with a wider/taller firing arc.)

 

m8e4 Tecumseh: based on the M4 Sherman, this tank will have slightly better armor than the half track, about the same speed as the rhino, and the driver will have the option to use either the main gun, or (swappable through the drive by weapon wheel.) a hull mounted .30 caliber machine gun, so the camera can follow the tank and not the gun, it would have a passenger controlled .50 cal on top of the turret, as well. It would have several special liveries, including a rusted, battleworn look, a sand-swept one, as if it had just come from the deserts of Egypt, some with American markings, some with British, and even some with Russian markings, thanks to the lend-lease act. (The same basic liverys would be available for the Crusader Classics) it could also even have addable "extras" like logs chained to the side as homemade spaced armor, rhinoceros hedge cutter, maybe even an inoperable "flail" for mines and such? (If they could get a working flail, that would be even better! But I won't hold my breath.)

[Erased]

I'm putting this here because it is automotive related. I know it'll probably never happen but I would LOVE a warehouse garage like this. R* Could use some of the barns out around sandy shores/grape seed etc

 

 

 

[eyman]

I can't wait for Geneva Auto show soon on the 8th March. I know the Devs get some inspiration from there every year so it should be interesting to what makes it in GTA in October - December.

I kinda hope we get a new updated Invetero Coquette. Could possibly happen seeing as the new ZR1 is coming out in a few months. I say a few months because I keep hearing different months. I heard it could come out as early as March (I'm a fan of all cars not loyal to one particular brand so if I seem allover the places with my posts with different cars that's why)

Random thought, mainly aimed at the fans of older US cars:

 

...y'all need to go and watch The Shape of Water, ASAP. Not to spoil the plot, but it's set in 1962, and there's a great moment in a Cadillac dealership, with some fantastic, pristine models in there:

 

 

 

In fact (and I look forward to being horribly disappointed when the film comes out on home release, and the IMCBD sleuths tear it apart! ), I get the impression that it might just be one of the best films in recent years for sourcing period-authentic cars, without doing the L.A. Noire thing of 'oops - this is supposed to be 1947, but we've somehow got a bunch of 1949 cars in the game' thing.

That would be amazing! We definitely need some 10+ car garages outside the city too, so that would kill two birds with one stone.

[xDatxJunkyx]

Everything from the suits, the furniture, the architecture, the music, the overall fashion and the cars are what make the mid-century my favorite time period.

 

GTA has some aspects of that... like Old spice Vintage, and Conservative in the decor options. The VooDoo and the Tornado are good examples this as well. The peyote has em, but their tailfins are tooo smallll.

 

I wish we had that '62 in the game. Listen, this thing is ending next tuesday, so we'll get our answer soon enough as to what's next. soo.

I'm trying to hype myself as to what those vehicles could be, can someone provide a probable real-life vehicle names speculation?

Edited February 23, 2018 by wizooord

[Flyin_Japman]

I suggested the drone more for recon than for indirect combat. To spot Off Radar people, Akulas, etc. But as I said, R* would probably weaponize it. The only acceptable type of weapons would be Buzzard/Savage copilot missiles.

 

You would need to put the drone at a certain height, then hit autopilot so it would circle around in a set radius, and then you could use the weapons, but you were limited to two point and shoot rockets with a 3 second cooldown. Free fire, unguided, no homing missiles. Players are marked with a red ridicule, circle for on foot, square for vehicles.

 

The control center idea would be good. A slow ass vehicle that has to remain stationary when using the recon drone. Sort of like EndWar's Command Vehicle.

If we were to get an AA tank I'd want it to be the Skink, a Canadian made AA that consists of quad 20mm cannons mounted on a Grizzly(Canadian version of the Sherman) chassis. A regular Grizzly/Sherman would also be awesome.
