Eggobites90 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) If you can remember back to 2013/early 2014, tanks were everywhere. Groups of players would guard the LSCs and other high traffic areas. In response, R* lowered the defenses of tanks and people slowly stopped using them. Now my only option to avoid jets in public free roam is passive mode, and even then my cars can be destroyed if I'm not in them. Given R*'s action past against "griefers" using weaponized vehicles, should they take similar steps to prevent jet users from continuously destroying everything in their path? They go to considerable lengths to protect the "feel" of the GTAO environment, why not keep it from looking and sounding like an actual war zone?

Hunter Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Only if they nerf the homing launcher too. Want to nerf jets? Then the weapon that's supposed to counter them can be nerfed as well. Personally, I'd be more in favour of just adding more vehicles that can fight jets. Anti air stuff, that kind of thing.

SaltyGTAFMember Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) People are stupid and tried to 1on1 tanks on the street with rpgs, also the crappy passive mode played a huge part. No jet should have aa rounds, no aa rounds for ground players. Edited March 24, 2016 by DumbForum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfirebird87 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I think we should just remove all weapons from the game. Tanks, turrets, jets, rpgs.. I'm all for Happy Land Simulator 2016.

Nick1020 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Jets weren't a huge problem back then. Only maybe a few use knew how to use them. The only way to actually nerf jets is either buff the Homing Launcher to where circling doesn't work, remove explosive bullets from the game entirely or not make bullets unlimited.

Eggobites90 Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 I would be fine with a homing launcher buff. Make nearly all locked on shots hit, but increase the time it takes to lock on. NecroNeedle, Big_Show and Shadowfennekin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teagle Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Instead of nerfing anything, just bring the tank back to the way it used to be. I don't understand how an Insurgent can take multiple rounds of explosive cannon fire but the tank is destroyed on the first pass. tytant, Shadowfennekin, Bragster and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPAH JD Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Just buff the homing launcher so you can shoot them down. Or make it so three heavy sniper shots take it down. Dead serious. Nerf my tank? Then you can also nerf the ridiculous piece of air sh*t. Red Lynx 23, CUTS3R, NikkoCharger and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruvs-mcfc Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Is peculiar to say the least , why put 1 item in a game that apart from pure luck is untouchable it just doesn't make sense ,any weapon v any weapon gives anyone a chance but , thought I'd test how many times I was killed before I managed. Damage jet enough , he was pretty good but t was 14-0 before he bailed his jet , it doesn't just make it a bit one sided , for me it completely ruins free roam SUPAH JD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxviolentbenxx Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) The tank was extremely resistant to explosives so they buffed the explosive damage towards tanks making them very weak to jets' explosive rounds. They really can't nerf the jet like the tank as explosions will easily destroy it so R* would either slow down jets to make it easier to destroy them or get rid of their explosive rounds crippling jets instantly. Pick your poison. Edit: Also R* probably won't do either so accept the jets we have. Edited March 24, 2016 by xxviolentbenxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanabil_ Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Its silly when you people talk like that a good player can easily piss off the jet player 1 - Go passive and stand next to your t20 or the most expensive car you have, 2 - Use heavy sniper 3- Use some hiding spot like tunnel or bridge. Seriously now a days anyone new when gets killed by jets just comes here and start bitchin we have already to of but hurt players like you. Jet is suppose to be like that, you should be thankful that its not able to see players (name tag marker) from long distance otherwise every shot it lands would be a hit. Jet takes some skill to kill people and it has been nerfed if you are a pilot you will notice its not that agile and has a very heavy nose. redfirebird87 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozzie Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Nothing should be f*ckin nerfed... Cockstar should just make a new Merryweather option to send some dudes in Lazers after jet pilots, make them highly skilled and they follow that player for 5mins even if they take EWO or bail from the jet, no Passive while the Merryweather jets are after you.

vengeancehawk Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Probably because they nerfed them during/after the billionaire days in which everyone had one so it was a bigger problem than now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUTS3R Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I hate jet griefiers but honestly nerfing the jet themselves would be pointless. Instead they should buff some weapons damage when they're used against jets. like the Heavy Sniper, combat MG or minigun. I miss my old Heavy Sniper damage. 2 shots and the job was done. In short, more or better ways to effectively defend ourselves without having to cripple our gameplay ( passive mode, ghosting ), leave sessions or hop in a jet.
