Should the homing launcher have improved speed and accuracy against fi

[EkaSwede]

I can tell you guys now as a former jet greifer the homing launcher should be completely removed. Its utterly useless against jets yet op against helicopters. Why not just replace the homing launcher with the railgun?

Railgun.

 

So only people who bought the game twice can use it? I guess...

Well maybe that. Id rather have it level locked. No way im getting shot down by noob.

[shadowoperative]

Agreed. Thinking isn't one of your strong suits.

[Zader]

The homing launcher isn't necessarily the problem here. It's the jets themselves. Instead of going ahead and giving them paper armour or anything like that, just remove the explosive properties of the cannons or shorten their blast radius so that a single strafe can't level both sides of a highway.

The jets having explosive rounds and essentially no counter seems like a developer oversight, and we're probably too late in the game to fix it at this point, but it's forced a complete metagame to the online wherein if you don't like being jet griefed nonstop, go passive, as in, don't compete in events and don't defend yourself against hostile NPCs, or go to an invite only session, completely ignoring the point of online gameplay altogether.

 

In the case of the homing launcher, maybe have its speed and accuracy adjust to whatever target it's tracking or whatever, that way helicopters have an easier time avoiding them and the red Hydra has more than a 10% chance of even hearing the missile behind it.

^people who shouldn't be playing. When you go to the start menu to go to online, it has 'invite only' right in front of their faces.

You're a fool that griefs lobbies in jets, is what I gathered from that statement.

Using the homing launcher is as simple as "look at enemy, hold LT, press RT".

 

Something that easy to use shouldn't do all the work for you.

 

Besides, a buff would just f**k over all the other aircraft. No way.

 

If anything, the jets just need a slower rate of fire.

Whereas with the jet you dont even need to hold LT, you just fire, even simpler than the HL, no skill involved.

 

At least you have to aim vaguely where the target is, and pull up in time so you don't crash.

 

Anyone who's seen many of my posts will know I have reasonable ideas about jets. Buffing an already stupidly overpowered weapon that does all the work for you is not among them though.

 

Noone is suggesting buffing the jet which does the work for you, where you just aim vaguely in the right place and fire and thats it, at least with the HL you have to track the target for a couple of seconds, there isnt much skill involved, but nonetheless, its more skill than using the jet to divebomb requires.

 

The funniest thing about jet pussies is that its really easy to avoid being hit with the HL, but they still bitch about it

Dude just... what? Have you used the HL more than 3 times? The jets in GTA are slow as f*ck, if you need even just a little skill to successfully launch a missile, then I'm beginning to think you shouldn't even bother with public free roam.

If you seriously think a HL requires more skill than a jet you're delusional.

 

To sum up again:

HL: Point, track, click

 

Jet: Adjust flight path using aileron, elevator and rudder control. Bleed speed while not killing the twitchy engine. Press fire button and wait until the short range cannon actually hits the ground. Pull up and away.

 

Yea that seems about right.

 

 

Edit: I'm not saying that jets are not OP as of now, but there's no way I can see it being justifyable that the HL needs more skill to use than a jet...

I fly in a jet quite regularly, we all know theres no skill in it and we all know its easy to avoid the HL, and we all know its easy to go really high and then divebomb while firing randomly with no precise aiming or tracking needed.

Using passive to win battles is an exploit. And needing to use a jet to counter a jet is a very clear sign that the damn thing is an unbalanced piece of crap.

 

 

A $3 million dollar aircraft is normally over powered. Ask anyone in the middle east on the receiving end. The thought that someone on foot should have an equal or greater opportunity to destroy it is silly to me. I understand the griefers blah blah blah and maybe a cool down on replacement is in order but there is no way someone on foot should be able to simply one shot kill an aircraft.

 

 

This is a video game. Who gives a f*ck about realism? Who gives a f*ck even about how much the Hydra costs? My only concern, ever, is that the game be balanced and not incredibly frustrating and unfair. And that's what jets are. If you see a skilled jet griefer coming your way, you better prepare your ass. You're probably not going to kill them; they're probably going to kill you 5+ times unless you're not in an organization and can immediately go passive.

 

I don't think players should be able to consistently 1 shot kill jets, no. Jets should be powerful. But they don't need to be so powerful that a skilled user can rampage across a lobby virtually unchecked. And they don't need to be so readily available that you can replace them like toilet paper as soon as yours gets a dent in it.

 

To recap my suggestions from earlier:

1. Pegasus cooldown. It should've been there all along; add it now.

2. No passive mode while flying fighter jets. Ridiculous that jet griefers get access to this exploit while unfortunate VIPs and their bodyguards get buttf*cked. And I'd add on, we still need a passive cooldown for anyone who's been killing other players. The people who use this EXPLOIT and call it a "strategy" are baboons.

3. A new, more effective counter to jets. Call Merryweather, ask for mercs, and if your target is in the air, they should scramble a few fighter jets. It would be much better than the annoying homing launcher, and at the same time used less, because players wouldn't want to go through that bother except against real assholes who deserve it, for the most part.

 

Do all of that and you can otherwise leave the jets alone, IMO. If they're not going to do all that, they should just take the explosive cannons away, because the damn things are borderline game-ruining sometimes.

Listen, I get there are issues and people are frustrated with the current game play. My opinion is that grinding my way to $3 million to purchase the hydra should have some superiority over players that did not. If a low level can simply purchase a buffed HL, point, click, and kill me, I think there is unbalance in the game. The current tactics to defend against and take down a jet aren't easy and the average player struggles with them. I feel a quick, simple change would be to add flares to every aircraft BUT jets. I'm not even sure I'd do anything with the Homing Launcher. The current tactics could still be used AND all other aircraft could fly and not worry about being blasted from the skies. Combat helicopters will require more skill to take down but they are a bit easier of a target to hit compared to jets, speaking from rpg's and heavy sniper rounds. The tank should be reverted back to its original armor, that would add another possibe offense to a jet. It would be fun against insurgents and limos too!

[Twistedmindgame]

Okay, so I have an idea, I'm sure it has some wrinkles to iron out, but hear me out on this one;

Nerf jet cannon(range, damage, IDK/IDC)

Nerf homing launcher(speed, lock on time, whatever, make helis/planes able to dodge somehow)

Add flares to helis+unarmed aircraft(may not be necessary with other adjustments)

 

Here's the meat of the idea

Add Stinger-like missile

- shoots straight up and catches target on drop, minor tracking on altitude match, faster than homing but less accurate and finally, no free fire, LOCK ON ONLY, and maybe longer range for lock

- BUT it can only lock to jets/ only aircraft, but has a tendency to be ineffective against helis/planes due to general inaccuracy/overshoot because it's meant for jets and outruns helis

-skilled heli/plane pilots can dodge (if they know what they're doing), unskilled jet pilots can't

-Make it expensive as hell and low capacity to discourage spam, but those rich enough can launch say, all 5 in sequence and the pilot's just about screwed, not 100%, but if he loses it and sh*ts himself, he's toast.

 

Problem or addition? Please tell me, I'm quite tired and I might have missed something huuuuuge.

 

Edit: here's one already; DON'T level lock it. It's price should be the deterrent. If a kid wants to buy a $200k shark card to take down 3-4 jets and its not even a guarantee? I say let him.

I mentioned how Id bought it twice to show how ludicrous your comment that Id obviously never played the game was. The HL is not OP in comparison to the jet as its so simple to just press the stick left for 2 seconds and avoid the missiles. There is no skill in aiming at the ground from a high height and pressing fire, there is a tiny amount more skill in having to keep a moving target in a square in the centre of the screen, despite all your whinging and crying and claims that there is some sort of law against people with a low reading level being able to play a computer game, you have still yet to indicate how there is more skill involved in staying still and pressing fire than having to keep a moving target in a square. You are abit of a clown but the data is more than worthwhile.

He quite clearly doesn't have any concerns about what's balanced/overpowered - he just wants to get rid of everything that's ever killed him.

 

Homing launcher harder than a jet? Lol.

 

Don't waste your time.

 

 

154 days, is that all?

[Broblab]

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

you can take that attitude back to battlefield with the rest of the no life neckbeards, fam.

 

the aiming system is far too clunky for "skilled" rpg shots on a regular basis.

 

that and most people who know how to spam kills with the jet know to come from 89/90 degrees straight up as to keep from being attacked by their target.

i like the homing launcher, r* needs to improve the tracking system and make it harder for jet jerks to lose them.

Using the homing launcher is as simple as "look at enemy, hold LT, press RT".

 

Something that easy to use shouldn't do all the work for you.

 

Besides, a buff would just f**k over all the other aircraft. No way.

 

If anything, the jets just need a slower rate of fire.

Whereas with the jet you dont even need to hold LT, you just fire, even simpler than the HL, no skill involved.

 

At least you have to aim vaguely where the target is, and pull up in time so you don't crash.

 

Anyone who's seen many of my posts will know I have reasonable ideas about jets. Buffing an already stupidly overpowered weapon that does all the work for you is not among them though.

 

Noone is suggesting buffing the jet which does the work for you, where you just aim vaguely in the right place and fire and thats it, at least with the HL you have to track the target for a couple of seconds, there isnt much skill involved, but nonetheless, its more skill than using the jet to divebomb requires.

 

The funniest thing about jet pussies is that its really easy to avoid being hit with the HL, but they still bitch about it

Dude just... what? Have you used the HL more than 3 times? The jets in GTA are slow as f*ck, if you need even just a little skill to successfully launch a missile, then I'm beginning to think you shouldn't even bother with public free roam.

If you seriously think a HL requires more skill than a jet you're delusional.

 

To sum up again:

HL: Point, track, click

 

Jet: Adjust flight path using aileron, elevator and rudder control. Bleed speed while not killing the twitchy engine. Press fire button and wait until the short range cannon actually hits the ground. Pull up and away.

 

Yea that seems about right.

 

 

Edit: I'm not saying that jets are not OP as of now, but there's no way I can see it being justifyable that the HL needs more skill to use than a jet...

 

Point, track, click with the HL,

 

Point, click, with the jet.

 

Jet is easier.

 

And if you think its hard to push the stick left or right for a couple of seconds to avoid the missiles then you're not using the jet correctly.

If you just say point, click for the jet you're only talking about the actual attack. In which case HL would just be... click.

 

At this point I'm not sure whether you're trolling, haven't actually played the game or just stupid. It's difficult to say...

 

No, the actual attack would just be click on both.

 

Ha yes Ive never played the game, I bought it on day one on both consoles I own just to never play it. With your intricate knowledge of how underpowered your beloved jet is you must have played the game millions of hours more than me.

 

Quote from me (even above in that quote train)

"I'm not saying that jets are not OP as of now, but there's no way I can see it being justifyable that the HL needs more skill to use than a jet..."

 

So if you have the reading comprehension of a first grader, you probably aren't allowed to play anyway. Also, why the need to say you bought the game 2 times? Why does it matter? Am I better if I say I bought it for Ps3, Ps4 and PC?

 

And at this point I blame myself for still replying.

 

 

I mentioned how Id bought it twice to show how ludicrous your comment that Id obviously never played the game was. The HL is not OP in comparison to the jet as its so simple to just press the stick left for 2 seconds and avoid the missiles. There is no skill in aiming at the ground from a high height and pressing fire, there is a tiny amount more skill in having to keep a moving target in a square in the centre of the screen, despite all your whinging and crying and claims that there is some sort of law against people with a low reading level being able to play a computer game, you have still yet to indicate how there is more skill involved in staying still and pressing fire than having to keep a moving target in a square. You are abit of a clown but the data is more than worthwhile.

 

My favorite part about the jet is killing everyone first try and continuously after since everyone stands still in the middle of an open field with their dicks out. Oh wait.....Meanwhile, trying to keep a 1 pixel jet in an 8 pixel square so my homing launcher locks on ten minutes later and the slightest mistake is death is really, really hard......

[.Vooodu.]

Or even better.. Take R*s dumb approach to jets and apply that same logic to the HL.

 

 

Make the HL shoot unlimited rockets... for FREE.. and you never have to re-load it.

 

That way i can lock on and shoot a bazillion rockets at one time.... lol

 

 

Why not??? Sounds about right in R* logic..

Haha yeah that would even the playing field but I expect the jet pussies would start self harming rather than just their usual crying.

Man fug that homing launcher. I was in Coveted last night and the fuggin enemy chopper is right in front of me hovering and I shoot the Homing Turd and it misses, twice!

The chopper pilot barely moved so it wasn't like he performed an elusive maneuver.

Next time I walk by a dumpster , I'm depositing it.
