Half-Track Appreciation Thread!

Bravado Half-Track

The Half-track might look like its having really dangerous identity crisis, but trust us, it works.

The all-terrain capabilities of a tank, with all the advantages of a truck;

Straightforward handling, a spacious, prostitute-friendly cabin,

and lots of fresh air for the lunatic on the .50 cal in the back.

Pricing:

$2,254,350
$1,695,000 (Trade price)

As for me, I gotta say, this has become one of, if not my favorite vehicle.

What's that camo for? Is it gonna blend into Deadpool's crotch?

Haha, looks really cool though.

 

Lol! My roommate said the exact same thing. I just run mainly black and red for my SecuroServ themed Character and CEO business.

Any specifics on its resistance against explosives ?

This things a monster. I've survived 7 explosions from other vehicles, and the engine wasn't even smoking.

This is probably one of my favorite vehicles in this update. A WWII-Era Power Wagon Half-Track? Hell yeah! :D

Not sure if anybody has noticed yet, but researching for the new gun, it says 'Automatic fire' or something like that. Does it mean you can shoot from inside the cabin or something else?

I'm looking forward to this(my update will take until tomorrow to download), I love classic military vehicles, and this combines that with a clean version of the Duneloader. I just have one question, can you get it without the livery? I'd like mine to be a regular old olive drab colour, but it's fine if I can't do that.

Yes you can. It has a primary and a secondary color choice.

This thing also pulls trailers, unfortunately we can't have a personal vehicle out and our own trailer because R* logic. It only works when 1 person takes out the half track and the other one takes out his trailer. Went on a rampage with friends yesterday and this thing is like unstoppable, blew up so much stuff and went around the map with 5 stars and this thing wasn't even smoking. In the end it got blown up because i pressed the horn and dropped a landmine by accident lol.

 

Best combo was the 4x20mm flak guns on the halftrack and the 2x20mm flak guns on the trailer. So much destructive unlimited power, rockets are limited but not the flak guns :D.

 

Btw: most of the new vehicles have a tow hitch like the apc,... It's just beyond stupid that you can't use your own PV's to pull your own trailer. R* really needs to change this.

 

Have fun :)!

I need to see that in action. That sounds like it would be a blast (no pun intended)

I've been using this to knock down heist, with my buddy. It seems to be a good choice for it since you can't bring in the Apc. I'm actually a little concerned about upgrading it to the twenty mils because i think they could cause vehicles to explode a little too easily.

Fun fact: That Agent 14 mission where you go to the underground and steal Oppressors? This thing can power through the anti-vehicle blockade easily, and carry your team all the way to the bikes.

 

Oh and it looks gorgeous, and is surprisingly fun to drive.

My team finally finished their research on the Quad 20MM Autocannon. The firerate is insane!

That this thing - and the other new vehicles - is allowed into Heists makes them laughable. Were it not for the two sub-level 30 players in the Heist this was taken - who had an armored Kuruma but were content to get out and get shot - this setup was would have been an absolute breeze with the stock cannons on the half-track. It melted everything.

 

Only downside is that it took nearly twice as long to get there in it. Everyone else was in Supercars though, so it's understandable.

with 2 canons it is kinda bad, with 4 this thing totally destroys regular vehicles like i have no ground vehicle see do before that has a non explosive turret.

Quick question about it, do the engine, trans and turbo upgrades show a significant difference? I'm barely hitting 50MPH on the speedometer (Which is probably inaccurate, but still)

Yes it gets pretty fast.

 

But still... it is a half-track so top speed isn't its strongest point.

An engine upgrade does little to improve the top speed. Transmission and turbo upgrades significantly improve acceleration however.

It's not the best armed vehicle in the game, especially as a lone wolf, but damn I'm having fun with it. It wants to climb over anything. No buyer's remorse on this one!

 

Has anyone been able to damage it? I threw it down Chilliad and made sure to aim at all the rocks and trees I could and didn't even break a head/tail light!

Oooooh, I like that a lot. I was going to do a plain olive drab for mine, but I may have to copy yours, even if only for a while.

No. with full upgrade you'll get more or less a Rhino speed. but it's a beast on the battlefield. i think i traumatized the Lost at their club tonight :lol:

True to my Halftrack's namesake, I came across a random player holding supplies and I approached (in passive) and honked. He climbed on (I had to drop passive) and I gave him a ride to his bunker while he worked the guns on random NPC traffic.

This vehicle may not be the fastest by a long shot, but what it lacks in speed, it makes up for in brute strength and torque. Climbed up a near vertical slope without breaking a sweat, plus it was strong enough to push an MOC to, roughly a 90 degree angle or so. Love it!

 

 

 

Evidently, I thought I took a new photo of this, but I must have not uploaded it. Le sigh.

Prince_Polaris

I just bought this, and I'm loving it so far! With stock everything (All I could afford was to change the paint) this thing can blow up a car in a second or two and it wants to climb anything!
