Remote controlled missile launcher - yay or nay?

[SkittyM]

Just make it hold only 1 missle, be forced to buy ammo for it at an ammunation, and charge like 50 grand per missle and bam it's balanced.

Because no one will use it for that price​.

 

Better hit like a freight train then.

No. Poor thread is poor.

The nikita from mgs1 ?

Are you insane ?

Ground wars woud be reduced to camping in corners shooting those guided rockets at eachother.

Well it wouldn't necessarily be copied and pasted from that game. It'd be similar, but much faster. More suited towards jets really. Just an idea anyway.

Just an idea anyway.Lol....if it was even faster such ground war battles like i described woud just go on at a faster pace....and jets woud still be the best go to because at such speeds there might be a high chance the one controlling the rocket woud somehow screw up....and if not and its speed can be perfectly controled then no single aicraft and non explosive ground vehicle will be safe for even a second.(edit: same for players)

again...i hope rockstar is never gonna be so stupid to add something like this

I don't know - crashing something into someone when going at a really high speed might not be as easy as it sounds. Think of the old Besra bombers:

 

 

Fair enough though. It probably would end up used for a lot of non - jet means anyway.

Indeed.

And in gtaos current state you can rank unlock and raise prices as much as you want...it woudnt end well at all

[wheel_man]

there is an old game called SiN & it had a guided missile in death match which when used your view would change to the warhead cam/view as it flew around & you guided it. your body was left behind where the missile was fired from & vulnerable if not hidden or guarded. also it was a quick missile that turned somewhat slow & only had so much fuel or time before detonation. i had fun with it but i can imagine a lot of little rockets flying around los santos.

I honestly start to believe you guys are mistaking Grand Theft Auto with another game.

Superficially interesting idea but two key problems with it:

 

1. How does this differ from the homing launcher, in that it will be more effective against everything else than it is against jets? Anything added specifically as an anti-jet measure needs to be mainly effective against jets and somehow not as much in other contexts, or - just like the homing launcher - it will end up being more annoying than helpful. It's already hard enough staying alive in helicopters and regular planes.

 

2. I can't imagine how this will be useful against jet griefers unless you're lucky enough to be in the city, under cover. It would take too much time to use this out in the open; while you're setting it up and firing, they'll be diving and killing you (again).

 

Personally I don't like it and don't trust Rockstar to balance it properly. Still much more in favor of an anti-jet option being added to the Merryweather phone contact.

Well as it is with the homing launcher, a jet can just spin in a circle, and the missile will blindly follow it (even though it's not going to out - turn the jet). If a missile was being controlled by a player though, that player could choose to leave the little circle, turn back and hit the jet while they're just spinning around. Basically, it would be harder to trick a missile like that.

 

Also, the missile could be fired from safety (under something, in cover). If not, then yeah you'd probably be f**ked, unfortunately.

 

I don't have a really strong will to see it added, but I think it could work. It's just an idea anyway.

[shadowoperative]

Give us this. That would do the trick.

 

 

[The Wandering Hunter]

too many balancing issues

 

however, if it's damage was sh*t (like 90% player hp) it would be fun, somewhat useful but not ludicrously op.

[Pedinhuh]

Nah

[Dr Labuschagne]

Yes a Valkyrie Launcher would be ok, but only a limit of 5 missiles.

 

However with the way servers are with things that move fast from one point to endanger another player, this may not even work...

[FlacidJack]

This thread gave me flashbacks to the old GTA:SA RC Zero planes. I guess Lester could craft us some miniature RC drones that explode on impact, sounds easy enough. Now for the price, so a 1600$ RC drone plus a sticky bomb or two plus labor... That'll be 670,000$

I wonder if anyone has ever attempted to 3D print the RC vehicles of GTA III/VC/SA.

 

It would be FUCKING RAD to have the collection in a shelf or something.

Didn't feel like watching it. When you say "Remote controlled missile" do you happen to mean a Wire Guided missile?

I might. I'm not sure what that is to be honest, or if such a thing as a "remote controlled missile" exists in reality.

 

Just a missile that you shoot, and then control yourself afterwards.

No but they should make it so it only locks on air vehicles.

[RStarFan]

How about they make the game less like cod: los santos edition, and more like a real city.

 

Open the damn casino yo

[DarkSavageDeathlyCloud]

Give us this. That would do the trick.

 

A metal storm grenade launcher...

In such a case they rather shoud release the railgun online but with a 20 second reload time

[giraffeboy]

I like it, but it'd have to have certain restrictions to avoid it being used for griefing. Something like:

 

- Has to lock on to a vehicle to be able to fire.

- That vehicle must not be passive.

- The missile can only arm itself to explode within a certain radius of the locked on vehicle.

- The missile is not completely lethal to a target unless it scores a direct hit, if the player remote detonates early it'll just damage the vehicle (remove tailplane, knock out engine etc).

 

Plus limit it to say, 5 shots, with a fairly expensive ammo price.

It woud make nearly all weapons obsolete and it woud influence everyone.

Its as bad an idea as implementing the nikita
