Should the homing launcher have improved speed and accuracy against fi

[Troll69]

I personally want rockstar to make the homing launcher travel twice as fast and slightly increase the damage to make it more effective at shooting down jets because almost 99% of the time it's USELESS against them, but I want to hear what you people have to say about this, discuss.

[lll-H-I-M-lll]

NO id love rockstar to remove this unskilled piece of sh*t!!!!!!

[hawwkkz]

Seriously, what the f*ck?!

 

You will never be able to fly a helicopter again ....

 

Don't ever think about it, this unskilled thing is already op, just don't.

Please!

Post of the year!!!

This MUST happen.

 

 

And we must vote in failed businessman and reality TV c*nt, Donald Trump as US President. Viva apocalypse!

 

 

 

Down with the pilots! Kill them all!

[Furry_Monkey]

No.

 

If you can't use a 10-15 second window to your advantage, when the pilot is most likely not focusing on you, but on flying in circles instead, then it's YOU that needs to go twice and fast. If it was just "click - boom - kill" then it would make all flying vehicles pointless.

 

I literally could not disagree with you more.

[shadowoperative]

Yes. Or something better to counter the sky pussies.

 

INB4 git gud or get rekt.

Yes. You should be able to consistently down a jet with two homing rockets, I feel. Homing launchers were only a good idea because finally there was a way to take down a jet... and they're not fast enough to take down jets.

[Hylskriksen]

Slow down the time it takes to fire the homing launcher and increase the speed on the rpg. That way, you could be fast with rpg but do the aiming yourself, or you could be slow with the homing launcher but it does the aiming for you. This i support. Nerf the homing and buff the rpg. That way they would both be useful.

Homing launcher, heavy sniper. Jets have to fly in a fairly predictable path in order to dodge a missile.

 

A small amount of common sense goes a long way.

[Ledorus]

I think they should make it more effective against jets, and don't let it lock onto all helicopters and planes.

[tenpennyisplainevil]

Homing launchers should actually be slower against helicopters and other aircraft that can't possibly evade one now. I literally can't fly over LS without five attempts to lock on to me, so I have to fly at a ridiculous height. No fun. It's a horribly OP weapon, it's lock aim, shoot and guaranteed kill. The homing launcher shouldn't be so damn nimble, it does ridiculous manoeuvres that make it impossible to dodge in anything other than a jet, even if you're at the very edge of it's lock-on range (which is far).

[BatFerYou]

No fun.

 

GTAO in a nutshell. This game may as well be described as "employment".

This is the problem I have. To effectively use a helicopter's machine-gun or non-homing rockets takes quite a lot of skill. Even homing rockets in a helicopter can be quite the struggle to use against an opponent that isn't an idiot. Jets, however, take little skill at all, and yet absolutely nothing can stop them outside of the pilot's own hubris.

 

It may be unrealistic, but frankly I'd prefer helicopter and plane pilots to have a bit more of a chance to dodge wayward rockets, and jet pilots should be well and truly jones'd if someone gets a lock-on.

[Gridl0k]

At the very least they should use Firework Rockets so people feel like they're getting their money's worth when they miss me.

[MrRyanMcCall]

I'd actually rather they removed it full stop.

Or at least make it a rank 160 unlock, every rank 9 sh*ts themselves and uses 15k worth of rockets without even thinking

Edited February 25, 2016 by MrRyanMcCall

[DarkSavageDeathlyCloud]

Yes...but it shoud only do half the damage, have a slower reload and somewhat shorter locking range

[Milesinho]

Perhaps a better solution would be to remove or radically nerf the jet which is a ridiculously OP

griefing tool. Explosive rounds should be gone straight away.

[sm 57]

Would prefer it if the heavy sniper could do more damage to jets but yeah why not. Buff its speed, strength and give it some luxury tints. Do the same with all helicopters to compensate.

Yeah have said this for ages. Lock it to 500 so people fear my presence

Give the Insurgent Pegasus the same explosive rounds.

If players were bad shots like harpo the great they would go to BS. If someone gets you with it just call your Zentorno.

silence you furry degenerate

[M*A*R*I*N*A]

no.

[shadowoperative]

Only the jet cowards are voting no.

[MikeMyth]

NO id love rockstar to remove this unskilled piece of sh*t!!!!!!

Why would you want them to remove GTAO?

[ViolatingBox]

Slightly buff the homing launcher and give everything but jets flares. It shouldn't be a lock on and kill weapon so I do like it as is but everyone seems to B&M about it daily.

[IAKSOTOT]

Why not keep them the same against helicopters and just more accurate against jets. You could say something along the lines of: "Well, these missiles rely on highly distinctive heat signatures to achieve and maintain a lock. Jets have a very distinctive heat signature so the lock is easier for the sensory apparatus on the missile to maintain in high G maneuvers."

 

I know it sounds like Harry Potter logic, but....

 

Or you could keep it the way it is. I don't take on jets. I hide from them just like I would if this sh*t was actually happening in RL. Hasn't bothered me at all really. Even when they go off radar, they are LOUD. They have never snuck up on me, and if I get killed...Hey! Console game. No quarters required.
