Should jet explosive rounds be changed to standard rounds?

[Azarael]

I'm creating this second poll topic because the first (http://gtaforums.com/topic/858347-poll-do-you-want-jets-nerfed/) is set up in such a way to bias responses towards "No" by posing confusing poll questions (implying that you're voting to remove jets completely unless you carefully read the small text) and the OP of the topic refuses to correct this.

 

Jet cannons are the highest DPS weapon in the game and are effective against all targets because of both their high damage and their blast radius. This makes jets dominant over all other game elements and has a severe effect upon CEO work. A step towards remedying this issue would be to remove the explosive element of the cannons to weaken jet performance against ground targets and push them into an anti-air role.

No, quit crying and play the damn game already.

I think that would be nerfing it way too much. I think having a short burst with a cooldown will be better than just completely crippling it.

Jets already have an effective cooldown on the cannons because they use strafe mechanics. As long as they're able to deal explosive damage they will retain effectiveness against all units in the game.

There already is a similar topic "Poll: Do you want jets nerfed"

Please mods, lock this thread

But you can still slow the jet right down and shoot way too much. Perhaps have it like battlefield, where you have a certain amount of ammo, and then you have to allow it to replenish.

 

That will also force people to actually think about their targets, instead of just killing everyone on the server.

Nah

[Azarael]

A cooldown or limited ammo negatively impacts upon dogfights (because ammo expenditure and sustained fire time can be much higher there) and does not adequately remedy the problem of jets having too much effectiveness against ground. They have unguided missiles which are more difficult to use relative to the cannon for attacking ground.

And again, we don't need the jet nerfing debates again.
