Why R* Nerfed Tanks but Not Jets

[Zader]

an entire clip of a pistol welded by an AI is the biggest threat to a Savage.

Ironic for a helicopter based on one that was purposed to be bulletproof and very explosive-resistant.

The Savage also isn't subject to any nerfs, completely irrelevant. Its weak fuselage was there out of the box, and is likely Rockstar's idea of balance, which is the first semblance of such they've ever considered showing.

It's completely f*cked, mind you, and the helicopter is incredibly weak on the damage intake, but it puts out so much consistent damage that it looks like Rockstar was almost actually trying to balance something for once. I do actually agree that it needs some kind of armour buff, though.

Sometimes I wonder just how stressed out people get in this game when their character dies. I was zipping down the road after I just upgraded my armor and got the best suspension I had recently qualified to buy, kind of getting the feel for my upgrades and I was doing pretty well weaving in and out of the drunks that populate the NPC vehicles in this game. Up ahead their was some hullabaloo with flashing lights and cars spread out across the road which I handily threaded like a psychotic knife missile. There I was going about 120 mph and all proud of myself when I heard thudding cracks behind me and my controller started shaking. BOOM! I blowed UP!!! Then I noticed a jet on the radar.

 

I respawned, called Mors Mutual, called my mechanic and I was back to driving my nifty car, all free of the dings I had just put on it before it exploded. I didn't even have to put another quarter in my playstation.

 

Learn to hide, learn to fire from jet proof cover, but really: learn to die with dignity. You'll have more fun. If you care about kill ratios in this game, if you really care, then good luck in the real world.

Depending on the pilot you could be. I knew some who could shoot you out of moving cars going down the highway at full speed. Or pop your tires and then it was easy for them. There was a weekly event I took part in where it was air vs ground.

 

Don't listen to those that never played IV.

 

I played IV freemode for 5 years. The good ones would circle you like a tornado even while you were moving and if you did manage to cause to them they would break formation, go land on a health pack and be back good as new in 20 seconds. They stayed out of range of all automatic weapons. You died in 2 bullets even to the extremities. Your options were rpg or sniper. Sniping took a miracle and the rpg in IV went 5 miles an hour and corkscrewed. A sloth could dodge it.

 

 

So griefer. Much op. Wah! Very need nerf.

 

Really though, just because you couldn't aim, there's still no need to act like Annihilators were overpowered. Annihilators. Lol.

 

Why do you think they gave them explosive rounds soon after?

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.

 

Yea that will be great but is going to cost like 15k

This whole "tears/crying" thing is no substitute for solid points.

 

Yes, you get the occasional whining bullsh**ter (I won't name him), but you also get people with very valid points, making reasonable suggestions.

 

More weapons and vehicles that can fight jets is the answer.

To be clear I don't care about my k/d ratio, just being constantly interrupted by a near impossible fight with a jet.
