Move bitch, get out the way

[Geisterfaust]

The more I look, the less I like this update: Two normal cars (Stafford and Swinger), boring linear DJs missions with 100k entry fee to complete them, still existing flags, massive dripfeeding. But today I decided to watch some videos about these new vehicles still stuck in the dripfeed and... My god, they SUCK! Oppressor Mk2 is not even close to OP and basically a smaller Deluxo, overall slower than regular one and less fun to control and Rogue explosive cannons. Strikeforce sports the same cannons that could actually hit a player without killing him, that comic jumping car is just... let's say out of place. The only things I like are the club warehouse, Stafford and coming Terrorbyte if it is what I think it is.

[Dr.Rosenthal]

@hei3enberg Same. I was excited about the Stafford until I drove it and realized it has the same acceleration as the Post Op van. I was excited about the B-11 but seems it won't be much different from what is already in the game (and no proper BBBBRRRRTTTT). The Scramjet seems to be a Vigilante with jumping ability, and I can't see when to make use of it. Oppressor Mk II seems boring AF and not nearly as good as the original (a buddy told me yesterday that it has to come to a full halt to reload the boost, is that true? if so, that sucks). The new radio station just plays the club music (?), I hope that changes because Dixon mentioned in the BBC Radio 1 interview that he'd made two mixes, one for radio and one for club, so there's gotta be some new material on the radio station at least.

 

I'm cautiously excited about the Terrorbyte, mainly because I like the idea of drones and being able to source cargo/vehicle cargo on the fly. I also really like the Swinger tbh. I like the clubs themselves, and actually think they're very well made all in all. But with so few new vehicles, no new weapons, and really only the Terrorbyte to look forward to now, it feels lacking.

So, about the broken Akula, when will it be fixed, you think? Tried stealth the other day and that seemed to work fine but I forgot to try and see if the bombs worked. I have to be able to stealth-bomb tryhards, had to do it in the Hunter yesterday but that was only really effective while in Ghost Org. Just keep blowing themselves up or jumping to their facility/apartment as soon as they see a heli approaching.

 

Edit: I just realized the bug doesn’t affect the bombs, but the homing missiles lol. *facepalm*

But eitherway it needs fixing, as I won’t even bother bringing out a heli that doesn’t have lock-on missiles. Would be like using rollerblades in a F1 race, a huge disadvantage put simply.

 

Maybe I should just change the MG back to having a single one as it’s never being used anyway.. oh the troubles lol

Yeah, as annoying as it is to have to do at all, the Akula is just too useful for me to leave gimped for the sake of principle. FWIW I only had to pay $700 to revert the nose turret to single gun mode, and I doubt I'll ever bother putting it back to double as it was never used anyway.

[Captain_Fluffy]

I had mine reverted the other day to a single gun but turns out I still don't have homing missiles. Couldn't lock onto an Oppressor whilst contesting a BB but could lock on to the NPC's guarding the supplies in the LSIA hanger

It's true to a point, not a full halt but you need to break really hard. I will be skipping Mk2 completely because of what I've seen in the video. It's not fun, it's not fast, it looks even more idiotic than Mk1 and it costs a lot of cash. Explosive cannons are a joke, completely useless with a slow rate of fire. I was on the verge of getting Mk1 in 2017 and I don't have any regrets because it's a fun vehicle to fly around, jump the roofs and stuff like that. 

[Forza Harrd]

Mmmm, I'm looking at a video of a fully upgraded MkII right now and it looks pretty neat. COUNTERMEASURES O_O

 

 

edit: but in the comments section, ouch:

 

 

 

The Oppressor Mk2 actually has a few drawbacks compared to the Mk1. 1. The Mk2 airspeed is ~88mph without boost, ~128 with boost. The groundspeed is at 128 mph without boost and ~ 139mph with boost. The Mk1 is a lot faster with around 140mph air and ground, depending on the boost. 2. You have to let go of the acceleration button to recharge the boost. This makes the boost only useful for startoff and is otherwise inefficient to recharge. So its basically a JATO like in the Bombushka. 3. Its vertical movement is way worse than the Mk1, as it can only climb similarly to the Deluxo in a ~30-45° angle, while the Mk1 can go straight up. That leads to worse getaways in certain situations and it makes flares kinda necessary to dodge missiles. Also makes dropping altitude a pain in the ass (compared to the deluxo where you can just disable the hovermode and drop to the ground) 4. The steering feels a bit weird at times. 5. I still wanna mention the price. its a big paywall with the terrorbyte and i guess nightclub (?) needed.

I like how the LSPD are so jaded that they impound batmobiles, tanks, rocket bikes, and flying cars and don't think anything of it.

They don't impound your tank, they just destroy it automatically

Was quiet pissed to find that out back in December. 20k.....

Don't they impound the khanjali, or am I misremembering it?

They destroy it unless it got changed

I don't let the cops catch me in my Khanjali since that day

[Malibu Club]

Huh. Well, I guess I stand corrected.

[kcole4001]

I thought it would be fun to go on a rampage, the popo eventually rammed me to death....MMI charged me $20,000 insurance fee to get the tank bank.

Yep, loads of fun.  

 

[Arrows to Athens]

Can somebody tell me what the f*ck is up with the Youga Classic in the setup missions? It's got some weird physics that grant it kevlar-like durability. When you hit the back of it, you just bounce off.

 

 

[kcole4001]

Anyone else notice the missile lock on boxes are now a little off to the side of the targets?

Looks like I lost my Akula. I had it stored in my Ruiner 2000 spot in my SVW and now I can't call it from the interaction menu and if I drive my Ruiner into my SVW I'm stuck on a black loading screen.

If I hire the new dj can I switch back to the old one for free?

Nope, $10k fee

Stupid really

I'm going back to Tale of Us after I get Madonna and her dance medal

[kcole4001]

Is it my imagination, or are the Buzzard's machine guns more powerful?

I'm getting more practice flying her with the Akula busted, but I don't think that's it.

I flew the heck out of the Buzzard long before I got an Akula.

 

I used to have to bash away at the police Mavericks for what seemed like forever. and I'd be smoking right away, lately if they're close I don't even bother with missiles, just gun 'em down, and it's really quick.

[No Use For A Name]

Noticed the same thing about the Buzzard machine guns. They shred cars pretty quickly now

Always been easier to minigun them. I love going for the pilots, just make them crash and burn.

 

You can take jets down relatively easy with them too but the more experienced ones will turn the tide at points and get the upper hand which requires strong defensive manoeuvres to bait them back into your favour.

 

E: Interesting if they were buffed a little..just left wondering why they decided to touch it.

I want to say mk1 gave a parachute when you entered it like aircraft.

If mk2 does to that'll fix the alt drop.

The lack of agility between mk1 and 2 and airspeed doesn't bother me... after all if airborne too long in mk1 you'll lose momentum and drop and if you're lucky you can pull up... you also gotta deal with every little bump on roofs and other similar horse sh*t. 

 

Not gonna lie though air speed is a big bummer but supposedly the missiles are deluxo with a longer range and my nemesis the CEO crate valkyrie will be sh*t on.

I'm back to bad sport

I was just hunting deluxos in freemode, I should get good sport for that

bad sport lobbies are f*cking dead. I can't find a lobby with more than 4 players in it

Well he already had issues with the owner before it went crazy in the mission "Boulevard Baby", makes sense I guess.

Yes, it was a promotion mission where you have to blow up 4 trucks of supplies going to Bahamas Mamas

Tony sends this text during a club promotion mission where you’re tasked with destroying 4 Mules

this one is a new one to me. End of a nightclub promotion mission delivering a supply truck and this happened when it started the enter garage animation. Just kinda floated in towards the garage door...
