We need more jets, preferably a F/A 18 hornet

Not until R* learn what the word "balance" means.

I've read the first page and so far it's been a 'stating the obvious' thread so I won't bother with any more.

It is balanced, any kind of sniper can wittle down a jet in about 3-4 mags. Like, what do you expect from a 20mm cannon?

No weapon should be able to disintegrate an entire block in one second. Even if it is a real thing, it doesn't belong in a video game.

 

If they added a nuke would you be fine with that? I mean, it's a nuke. Of course it's balanced. What do you expect from a nuke?

[Malibu Club]

I think a Casino would be a pointless addition. People already make good money off of exports, crates, biker businesses, and heists. We've already got gambling in the form of attempting to do any of businesses in a populated freeroam lobby.

Oh wow, 3-4 entire magazines of heavy sniper rounds vs something that can kill you and the city block around you in a single strafe in a fraction of the time it takes to unload 3-4 heavy sniper mags.

 

This is what "proud Hydra spammers" think balance is, I guess.

I watched Gone in 60 Seconds a few days before I-E dropped (the original, not the utter crap where Angelina Jolie pretends to steal the show) and is boring as f*ck. The nice cars and the proto-GTA vibe can't save it. A car chase lasting half of the movie, like, really???

I hate you.

This may be an unpopular opinion, maybe not.

 

-I like this thread and I hope it doesn't get locked for jet talk.

People like you ignore what balance is in the game--the eggshell armor on it, that you have to be pointing the cannons down to fire while travelling at high speeds, that after your vehicle is destroyed you have to order another one, drive to get it, etc.

 

For people like you that have no use for them, what you mean by balance is more akin to "render them useless."

I'm not trying to jump in on this, but that doesn't make it balanced. That makes it just as balanced as any other vehicle, the difference is, this vehicle is a mass killing machine, unlike a Panto or BMX.

 

Logic says they should be much harder to aquire, or much less powerful.

 

But thats all I gotta add, carry on.

the eggshell armor on it

Still stronger than my Savage lol.

 

you have to be pointing the cannons down to fire while travelling at high speeds

You have to point at what you want to shoot?

 

Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought fixed guns were pretty normal on fighter jets. Maybe on an A-10 the guns pivot, but I didn't know they did on smaller fighter jets.

 

that after your vehicle is destroyed you have to order another one, drive to get it, etc.

So should people just spawn with one next to them? Or respawn in another jet?

 

Personally, my take on it is that it is a little overpowered. Not like how some people make out, but it is pretty overpowered.

 

It could do with more vehicles to fight it off, and I would remove the limit to what angle people on foot can aim at. I wouldn't be strongly opposed to swapping its cannon with a Valkyrie cannon, but that kind of goes against the buff, not nerf policy.

 

But no; my brother doesn't want to "render them useless".

[Skycam]

I don't think there is anything wrong with dressing funny. I prefer seeing a wacky outfit rather then a plain t-shirt and jeans.

 

I don't mind wacky names. "X" "x" underscores whatever. Most are more creative then mine and I appreciate the creativity some other players have.

 

I'm liking first person. It's not perfect but it's good enough for me. Don't love the driving in FP but it can be a nice change and challenge at the same time. Although I usally stick with third person to drive/fly.

i agree, they have done helicopters a disservice and I would buff them.

 

THe point about having to point down is the speed with which a jet is travelling, this is a lot harder to do in the city than people give it credit for, especially when any small amount of damage blows it up.

 

I am not suggesting you should spawn right next to a new jet (I think you should not). My point is that this is part of the balance for that vehicle. Blow up my Kuruma, I can call it in and have the mechanic deliver it to me in about 2 minutes and be on my way.

You can get a new jet and be back in the air in less than 30 seconds. That is not balanced.

Eh, I don't feel as strongly about them as other people do.

 

I don't think they should be drastically changed. But they are too readily available. There should be a cool down on ordering them (which, incidentally, is an unpopular opinion), and I don't think Hydras should be available at helipads (they weren't originally, and it makes them too readily available considering how powerful they are).

This is true. You can do it in close to 20 seconds.

 

The moment it smokes, just fly over and parachute, call a new one while parachuting, then you're done.

Mechanic? 2 minutes?... call up MMI and request personal vehicle. No need to talk to Jonny on the spot... just saying.

not even in Paletto bay with the one spawn spot could you do it that quickly. Stop exaggerating, you do your position a disservice (I welcome a video demonstrating this, then I will reconsider).

If you are close to the spawn spot, it will spawn it further out. Even in Palletto. So, now, this isn't true.

You only have to be a few hundred feet away. Go high, jump, dive, get in and fly. It can be done in 30 seconds.

 

Once again, the only people defending the jet and saying it's not OP are the ones who don't know how to use it properly...

[Happy Hunter]

That's only if you mess up and get too close - if you call at the right distance, it won't.

 

I think I may have had an old clip or gif buried around somewhere of me replacing a jet. Might have to dig it out some time.

[Nyamber]

Here's some video proof for ya. I'm not the best hydra pilot, and it still only took me 40 seconds. Anyone experienced could do this even faster.

Myth: Public lobbies are a hell hole filled with people killing you at every corner.

 

False: You can easily avoid players, I've not been griefed since 2015. Secondly, session skipped to join crazy sessions has resulted in me finding out most lobbies have only a small group of players fighting.

Oh paleease...public is a total dive

Petitions to add what are basically cheat codes to online play are shameful.

[_Tacts]

All players under rank 20 should be banned from being able to join any job with level 20+ players. For obvious reasons.

Being vague doesn't help. What are you talking about?

[flexcreator]

I always though that respawning close to your opponent after a death is a bad design. Right now it's all about boring marksman-rifle-strafing. Kill-Strafe-Die-Strafe. Worst PvP I've ever seen. This desing leads to unused potential, you are fighting in a tight area. Vehicles are not used, the huge game map is not used.

 

It would make things more interesting if you respawn far away, so the opponent will have to actually get into a car and chase you (unless you enter one-on-one). The other player will have time to prepare a trap, for example, or block the traffic - do something creative using in-game tools instead of being forced to engage into a sniper duel.

 

Even in fast pace FPS like Battlefied, Titanfall, sometimes CoD you usually respawn at the specific points and have to cross the distance to engage the opponent (the faster - the better).

 

But hell, people seem to enjoy it, so I guess my opinion is unpopular

I would love to see the next update include new military vehicles. Add the Hunter, Laser (make the cannons half the Hydra because it is quicker) and something that has SAM missile on the ground . Allow us to own the Air craft carrier as far out as they can put it in the water with aircraft spawning on it. The distance you would fly in would be part of the balance. Could even then go back to not spawning Hydra at helipads like when it was first available. Next logical step in this urban warfare game, and the boards for the AC are already in the game because of the Heist. Do it Rock Star!!
