The yacht defence system is ridicolously OP

[am30]

The only flaw with the yacht defence system is that is stops you from accessing teh weapon wheel.

 

I watched another player in a chopper dodge the missles a couple of times before they died. It is not OP in any way what-so-ever.

[.Vooodu.]

 

 

 

 

Its not a missile. Its more of a super accurate mortar strike that instantly blows your ass up

 

But stop trying to hop aboard other people's yachts and get your own ya bum

People should know the risks of going in free roam, so your point isnt valid. And btw that super accurate mortar has more power than the railgun, a weapon considered by most as OP

Sounds more like YOU need to learn the risks.. Lol ya bum!

 

I know right.. Seems when the shoe is on the other foot, he don`t like it that much. Poor guy..

 

He should take his own advice.

Poor guy my a*s, i will not attack yachts since it has magical weapons no one has, neither the American army in their NO-FLY ZONE "Fort Zancudo. I will wait until rockstar replaces the defence with the more reasonable SAM missiles. I am not saying attacking yachts should be easy, but shouldnt be impossible as of now. For this, i think that the SAM missiles should do crazier turns than that of the homing launcher, and flying in circles should be useless.

 

 

 

Awwww poor baby.

 

You can always go fly your stupid magical jet that keeps magically respawning with stupid magical unlimited exploding bullets in a solo session...

 

Deal with it man.. Just like you always tell everyone else to `deal with it`or go play in solo session. Its your turn now.

Alright, yesterday i picked my hydra and gone near a yacht, and all of a sudden, it exploded. There wasnt any missile chasing me , so i thought it was a bug. I retried again and my hydra randomly explodes, AGAIN. It would be ok if it was some sort of SAMS missiles chasing aircrafts and doing crazier turns than the homing launcher, making life difficult for the attackers, but at the actual state its impossible to even fly near the yacht, because you immediately get randomly exploded out of the sky.Rockstar should nerf this system by replacing it with the more reasonable SAM missiles, so avoiding death is still possible. And people should enjoy their yachts on private/solo lobbies, since public lobbies are made for deathmatch.

Sounds like someone is upset that they can't grief players in their yachts lol. It should stay the way it is now. I've never felt more safe.

[UKPortista]

I adore it. ADORE IT, I tells you. The only thing that slightly disappointed me was not getting the kill credit(s). Admittedly, that's a tad unreasonable as you don't actually do anything for the kill. But still...

They're so good though, much love

 

Wake up in the morning like, yeah this is usual

 

Arriving right on time

[dorcy]

invisible missles eh. how about if R* change the system to a directed EMP blast that kills all electronics causing your ejection seat to malfunction leaving you trapped in your precious Hydra drowning as you sink to the bottom of the sea?

if they do that will you dry your eyes? i very much doubt it. more likely another pointless thread titled "trapped in my hydra, what is this bullsh*t C*!!!!!".

[soundism]

"magical weapons no one has"

 

I have them. They are attached to my mega yacht.

 

Seriously though, I'll stop baiting. I'm rendering a clip of me killing everyone on a rival crew's yacht just to prove you wrong from two perspectives OP. you can attack a yacht... just not like an idiot.

 

Edit: here ya go

 

 

 

Edit #2: wrong clip.. This is me actually attacking a yacht like an idiot. There was a bug where I wasn't coming up on the kill feed. Still proves you can attack a yacht from the air though...

Ugh another "You don't like it fk off to a solo lobby BRUH" Type. Tell you what keep fly your aircraft over vespucci. Cause from what i've seen there's a new form of entertainment in gta online public lobbies. Watching "Super omega pilots" get mauled by yachts while laughing hysterically. No it shouldn't be nerfed. If you want to get on my yacht and act like the typical tool paddle your ass out to it.

There also a new troll method. Have a few friends over on your yacht as soon as some random hops aboard you click off the defenses long enough for them to be gunned down then boom put them back up again. Oh I do also love the sound of wasted sniper rounds from shore too.

It's not OP.

 

GET OFF MY YACHT.

[GhostlySentinel]

Oh man, I do love any chance to f*ck jet griefers with a rusty knife, and this even easier that dogfighting them! (Even though dogfighting them is hella easy 90% of the time.)

[.Vooodu.]

Whats fun to do is.

 

After they get shot down and they spawn on the shore... Turn off defenses and shoot them in the ass with a sniper rifle.

[Ai®a©ob®a]

Let me stop you there -"It's impossible to fly near the yacht"

 

That's. The. Point.

 

R* should not nerf a no-fly zone. You should stop trying to get on other people's yachts.

 

If anything, R* needs to buff yacht defenses in normal freemode so passive mode scrubs can't boat their way aboard.

 

Even with the no-fly-zone it's still easy to penetrate the defenses it won't shoot at you after a certian height so if you get to that height and then turn over and do a steep dive you can dive bomb the ship without setting off the defenses

 

One thing my friends and i have been doing is getting in a helicopter and flying as high as we can go and go about 5-10 miles out and then jump out of the helicopter and try and land on the front helipad whoever lands first or closest win a prize of some sort

[Sugarfoot]

Rockstar won't be nerfing the defense system. OP will just have to accept it.

Shut the f*ck up and stop complaining. It doesn't need a nerf, it's fine the way it is.

That's a good one, I also like to have a cremate waiting on shore to execute them a time or two. No jet griefer out there can survive on the ground.

[Semaj 2JZ♢]

So, is it like the script kiddies 'blow up lobby instantaneously' type effect against aerial attackers or what? If there's no visible rocket or whatever to attempt to dodge, just pinpoint explosions, then I would have to say that's pretty weak sauce.

The system is more of a "passive" mode for people on the boat. An instant kill zone for anybody dickish enough to go very much out of their way to ruin someone else's time is nice, but I could see some people exploiting that. I paid millions to get away from the city's war; It's nice to be able to keep it away.

I like how you doing what you clearly do in freeroam anyway is going to make R* nerf yachts.

 

Way to take a stand OP, that'll teach R*.

You get a warning once you enter the no-fly zone, and then if you ignore it and you're still in range, it removes you from the no-fly zone.

 

The difference between this and script kiddies is that it doesn't randomly target you for no reason, nor does it target you if you're not within range.

 

It tells you the risks. You get the warning, it means clear off.

You're right. Rockstar have a history of listening to the most stupid of ideas.

The defense system is more or less Flak/Anti-Air defense that work simlar to the flak from World War II, You heard it but you didn't see it until it exploded right next to you or hit you.

[OptiCog]

"Randomly shot down"... You get an audio warning to back off. As in you literally have the captain tell you to back off or you will be shot down. No, it isn't random.

"It shouldn't be easy to attack a yacht, but it also shouldn't be impossible"... Explain how I've gotten on to take out cowardly griefers who try and hide on their yacht, on their damn yacht. Because it isn't impossible, far from it. If you need to use a jet to get a kill in most circumstances, then you need to learn how to play the game for once. A jet is completely unnecessary 9/10 times.

Ok then il just keep inviting people on the ground to my yacht when i see assholes in jets trying to attack them until R* nerfs the jet

 

 

Seriously, the tank got balanced for a reason. There is no reason for the yacht to be nerfed. It warns you for f*ck sakes and it just sits in one little spot in the water.. Just because you use jets and see blips and want to attack them all for no reason and then DIE is not the games fault.

 

If you fly into a building with a jet do you call the building op.. Stay the hell away or go play invite only.

Passive mode abuse and jet trolls are much more of an issue then yachts will ever be. In order for yachts to be a problem you need to be aggressive and stupid.

 

Free roam is not a war zone. Its only a war zone if players choose to fight. And if you pick a fight with a yacht you will lose if the defenses are up.

 

It can`t follow you... it stays in the water.

It cuts both ways. Freemode means exactly that - Freemode. In the same way you're free to fly about blowing up PV's and people doing freemode events, yacht owners are FREE to stay on their yacht and watch the aircraft debris and griefer tears rain down around them.

 

Don't want to get blown up by my yacht? Don't enter my no-fly zone. Simple. I'm sure as sh*t not going to come after you just because you have a Hydra, don't come after me because I have a yacht.

 

n.b. I have a Hydra on my forward Helipad.
