The yacht defence system is ridicolously OP

[State_Trooper]

As long as I know the defense system doesn't use missiles! So you shouldn't be able to dodge the explosions anyways!

There's no way you can escape.

It's like crazy to launch invisible cannon if you keep coming close witha jet.

[GTAnger]

Sounds like you're just pissed because you tried to troll a yacht owner and FAILED!

I hope they don't nerf it so it continues to keep retards like you away.

And it's hardly OP as boats can still approach.

It's actually just a troll deterrent....

[darkgreenmeme]

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.

I think the point is the owner must make a choice between air protection which as impervious to air attack as being inside a safehouse, or being slaughtered like sheep by a boarding party. A yacht won't fare well in a coordinated attack by a superior force.

[El Payaso]

Good. Stay off our yachts, stupid griefers.

[Roronoa Zoro]

Working as intended.

 

Deal with it.

[SmokesWithCigs]

That's what you get. That'll teach you to leave other players alone you pest.

[AgentExeider]

For 10 million bucks, it better be f*%king op, OP

 

I'm not playing this game to pay for overpriced Sh!t that doesn.t work, that defense system better kill any motherf*&ker that comes near my boat.

 

If anything it needs a buff and fires torpedos to kill off boating a$$holes, and an invisible force field so even if you manage to get past the defenses you slide off the force field and into the water.

 

I understand you want on the boat because of content, but it's MY boat, and for the money I paid, if I don't want you on there, you shouldn't be able to get on there.

 

You want to get on? join my crew or message me for an invite, don't think your entitled and force yourself on my boat, or come in force to do so. That's one real quick way to get blown up, and I have no sympathy for you in that case.

 

Put yourself in my shoes, you just earned up 10 million, which is still an effort in this game, you bought and customized your boat, and your enjoying it, suddenly some squeaker @$$hole comes up and wants onto your boat, and of course being a squeaker, is going to make noise, and be annoying because that's what squeakers do, shoot off the boat, through nades, or fire off heavy weapons, maybe even shoot you for the lulz. Now compound that with the fact he is showing up in a helicopter that's armed?

 

In either case, ruining your peace and quiet, and detracting from the enjoyment of your executive item that costs ALOT of money, even among the rich it's alot.

 

So F*&K yeah, that defense system better be able to rid yourself of this annoyance, and it should do it instantly and with no remorse, if anything, the fact that it takes 3 shots to take you down to me is underpowered, but I understand why R* did that, it's so you get a chance to think about whether or not you want to take the hint and keep living or ignore the warning and become fish food.

 

If it was up to me, no Miranda warning, no "Three strikes and your out" bullsh!t, First offense, BOOM into the drink you go. The only warning you deserve is the beep beep of the defense system locking onto you invading @$$.

More importantly, dont bullets hit an invisible force field before they get to people standing on the boat deck?

[NytePiper]

 

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 and replace 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.

 

 

 

Muahhahhaaaaa............ And that my friend is R*s way of telling assholes like you to go f*ck yourself.

 

How about you go fly your stupid fighter jet in invite only if you can't deal with it.

 

 

Shoe is on the foot now..

 

Welp my other topic i just posted is now useless lol

[Arachne]

You gotta be kidding me.Overpowered? really kiddo?

[Rocket Skates]

Does the yacht owner get credited for the kill or does it just say 'Xxxxyzzz died'?

[shadowoperative]

They just die. Which works for me.

Which is something that needs to be changed.

So much salt.

 

We own the air space now. QQ plebs.

Like it's been said previously, the yachts' defence system is made up of anti air guns.

 

The reason you hear them but don't see them is because the projectiles don't work like RPG rockets. They're not rocket propelled, they're launched, or I guess you could say pushed, from the gun by a mechanism that generates an extremely powerful force, kind of like a giant piston. This means that there isn't a constant tracer like you get with an RPG that lets you see where the projectile is. The shells are programmed to explode when they reach you, which is why the explosions never miss by that large of a distance.

 

The reason for the delay between the gun firing and your jet exploding is because the shells are launched based on your current flight path, the gun analyses the way you're flying and launches the shell in a way that it will hit you if you continue your current flight path. That's why they're really easy to dodge if you keep moving in unpredictable patterns. It's actually pretty simple compared to why the gun has no tracers, the guns simply lead their shots, pretty much what tankers in WW2 had to do when shooting at a moving target.

 

Last night there was this guy in the session that was inviting people to be his bodyguards then firing and killing them when they got to the yacht. I decided to do something about it. I got my Hydra and started opening fire at the yacht, when I started hearing the popping noises I knew that I had to move, I did, and none of the shells were able to hit me, when I was finished I'd killed everyone on the yacht at least 4 times. It's easy to do when you know what to do when the defences kick in.

 

With the help of AiraCobra, that concludes todays lesson on WW2 flak and anti-aircraft guns, stick around for tommorrows lesson which will be on why artillery shells arc.

 

They're not OP, you just didn't know how they work which leads you to think they're OP.

[MrGrandis]

You can dodge it, you can avoid it, sometimes it misses, the range are not really that big.

 

Overpowered huh? More like working perfectly

[Red Lynx 23]

However, as Iv'e seen and done with the helicopters on a Yachts deck, it's possible to fly under the cannons on a Yacht. You just have a narrow space to avoid the ocean and kill zone. Then try to kill anyone on the Yacht IF they turn off the defenses to shoot at you themselves while you're just barely flying above the ocean.

[Chief theef]

Believe me ive had bad experiences with jets as a lower level.. but now the tables are turned. I enjoy being that guy sometimes. Feels vendicating.

 

What always gets me is the all the low level salty noob players on here that jump to cry about people in jets and how bad they are at the game.

 

Its funny because its like all of these noobs choose to ignore the fact it takes skill and practice to be able to survive in a jet, and getting kills with it without dying is even more difficult. Its a very high risk/high reward thing you noobs would no nothing about. Try to use a jet and see how long you survive and then you might apprecite the skill it takes instead of jumping on the noob crybaby bandwagon.

 

But if i get blown up by missile defenses, i must say "touche" and not whine about it. As a jet fighter (and yacht owner) i find the defenses actually to be quite a comical addition. Let people have their peace and quiet on the water and let jet fighters have the ground. Not a big deal.

 

Im still going to try find ways around the yacht defense systems when i get on, which im sure there are.

[VeraVanderpump]

There are no ways against the missle defense system, I mean, cmon, it even blows you out of the sky if you're in passive mode.

 

My friends and I laughed our ass off when a few jets tried to overtake us. I turned off the defense system for a bit and let them have their fun, but when I turned it on, BOOM, all 4 were shot out of the sky. One of them tried again in a buzzard, even tried skimming across the water, but he was still blown to pieces. They didn't try again after that.

 

The missle defense system isn't just hilarious, but it gives me piece of mind that I can enjoy my yacht with being bombarded by griefers who think that they're Top Gun.

 

But like everyone else, I don't like how I can't use weapons when it's on, but whatever. Still love it.

[Miss Malevolent]

Don't be a hypocrite, OP.

[Ayylien]

The idea of the yacht is that it's basically an apartment, if people want to fight on their yacht, they'll turn the defences off. Basically it's just telling you to GTFO since they can't attack you. It would be neat if the canon credited the yacht owner with the kill.

[Superman1233]

Its only the cry babies with k/d below 1.00 that couldn't kill jets, would like this mechanic that R* implemented.

 

This will either get toned down like the homie rocket or someone will find an exploit around it.

 

Enjoy it for now scrubs.

[Nomis24]

I was playing yesterday, I saw a plane with 4 players in it going in the direction of my yacht. They all jumped out and parachute. One by one the defense system killed them it was a lovely scene to watch from my hot tub

[Is this The Guy?]

People should know the risks

LOL @ the irony of this

Nah.

You have no excuse to be attacking the boats anyway, unless they activate the piracy thing, in which case the defenses aren't live anyway. Stop grieving you subhuman.

 

 

But this thread really makes me want an old battleship.

[Turkish Turketarian]

Stay the hell out of my airspace. Simple.

[LPPrince]

Honestly, it needs more. The yachts need a deterrent for people arriving in boats, swimmers, and divers.

Agreed. It shoots people parachuting, swimmmers need to go too!

so the players who are brave enough to not hide in op armored bricks are the scrubs? k then. Also no one gives a care about k/d ratios which like every other stat in this game is both pointless and useless especially because it can be manipulated by exploits and get padded by the idiots who are too scared of ground combat and hide in their armored bricks to get easy kills.

 

and if they find an exploit to get around it, it's almost a guarantee that Rockstar would hot fix it asap. Also if anything needs to be nerfed, it's the op armored brick also known as the hydra.

 

 

edit: and I don't get why people are so paranoid about other players getting on to your yachts. Just have the defenses set to on, and they can't do anything to you if they get on it.

LOL. Stop being an a.sshole and trying to raid other peoples yachts. If I saw you trying to get on mine I would happily blow you up as well. OP Yacht defenses are AWESOME defenses.
