Hang on... Won't Smugglers Run be totally pointless?

[RedwoodLynx]

Genuine question, not trolling or hating. Last I checked in on my Los Santos character a sniper that can two shot choppers/planes with explosive ammo was just released. Now the plan is to release a dozen new aircraft that in essence can only be used in a private lobby? Who's gonna buy shark cards for that? Am I missing something?

 

Maybe the hanger customization will allow you to buy armor thays explosive resistant or something...

Answered your own question.

[FlacidJack]

Better start saving up for the armor upgrades.

[Zader]

Was also thinking that.

[Aquarices]

A better question would be how the hangars are gonna work. Freemode is already chaotic, can't imagine everyone using three airstrips.

This is actually a good question, imagen all the sniper campers on the roofs of LSIA. This problem allready exists now with the cheapest Vehicle Warehouse, when joining a normal session Im encountering allot of killing around that one. Also Blain County would need new models cause the existing hangers are 2 small. Only Fort Zancudo and LSIA are big enough atm. Maybe they finally allow selling in invite sessions to solve it? Prolly not but else its gonna be messy.

 

@edit Another question; do we get to sell old pegasus vehicles like the Luxor Deluxe now?

ABC plane cost: 3 million

 

XYZ armor for plane: 12 million with a little research.

[Happy Hunter]

I'm going to cover them all in armour. Hopefully the Savage is also eligible for this, then it can join its brother Hunter, and we can rule the skies together.

[Mach1bud]

They are probably gonna add new cars that aren't the fastest, nor are armored, what is the point in that?

 

 

Maybe, just maybe, there is a reason people use vehicles that aren't technically the "best" for a given situation. I think I heard that it is called, "enjoyment".

I hope the your Hunter can withstand some damage and not like the savage.

 

I will be concerned for your health.

Winner winner. Chicken dinner.

[thepiebaker]

Well most thats displayed are helis, no?

Those are more flexible than planes/jets.

 

As far as customizable aircraft think of this:

Where will they be stored?

Unless we get underground hangars we only have LSIA.

Option C however is an aircraft carrier and since agent 14 is in business I think that's not that farfetched an option, can be a yacht replacement too.

It has room for customization below deck. It's got how many locations to be anchored? People were requesting and they can put a big pricetag on it. With GR vehicles are aircraft anywhere near as big of an issue now?

[RollsReus1959]

I hope the Hunter will have some agility unlike the savage and make it a beast of an aircraft pls.

 

It's time we have a dominant heli in the sky. A lot of them are crap except the Buzzard because for the price it is a good workhorse. It is the most useful vehicle in this game.

I don't seem to have that issue.

[CrysisAverted]

I have it on good authority that players will be allowed to arm one (1) airplane or helicopter of their choosing with Yacht like AA defenses for a small one time fee of 5 megalodon shark cards purchases

[Nugsy]

Hmmm.

Op's quite right - we only have three airstrips so it stands to reason that we can't all share the same hangars at such few locations. That got me thinking....

 

The way I'd get around that would be to implement the same idea as the bunker entrances (new additions to the map) but as openings on vertical cliff & mountain faces, meaning the hangars are 'underground'.

This would give plenty of well dispersed locations.

It's only pointless if we face the same mistakes + conflicts that came along with the other Freemode Businesses.

 

Helisexuals have been asking for the Hunter, so R* showing signs of listening to their playerbase (to a degree) is necessary.

Thats my point though? Why dedicate a new update to a bunch of new aircraft you cant enjoy because they get destroyed instantly by the weapon you added in tge lasr update?

[Happy Hunter]

How do we know they'll get destroyed instantly?

 

For one, we have customization - so it's possible we can upgrade their armour. If not - well what's to say they don't come with better armour stock? People are already speculating the Hunter used some kind of countermeasures in the trailer too. Perhaps other aircraft can use them as well.

 

Can't really tell until it's out.

I don't get instantly destroyed when I drive or fly around with the vehicles we have now.

[Pedinhuh]

I just hope that the Jets won't be eligible to have armor upgrades.

 

Their current armor is already fine as it is since it's hard to land a hit on them.

 

Now the helicopters, those deserve armor buffs.

Hoping for armored Cargobob now

The next dlc after this new one will probably have nuclear subs and various warships. Want to play a game of thermonuclear war?

I already have one thermonuclear war pre-ordered, why do I want a 2nd?

Or dont come out of your bunker

[autofanatic]

I don't think so as we may receive phone call from the nervous Ron. This could be fun.

[Ghoffman9]

The main thing I hope is that they let air vehicles have some sort of explosive resistance, at least the unweaponized air vehicles. For the longest time the Hydra was king of the skies, to fly in anything else made you an easy target to enemies on the ground and enemy hydras in the air. Due to this all other air vehicles in the game remained untouched. They have to cause due to the explosive sniper taking out anything flying by without warning these customizable airplanes and helicopters would be still useless. Flying one moment then suddenly dead without warning the next.

 

For those who remember like me, there was a certain game in the PS2 and Xbox era called Smuggler's Run that also was made by Rockstar. Wonder if there is any correlation.

Jet griefers and helis are still a formidable menace in most lobbies I go in. The explosive sniper still requires being a good shot and, judging by how often I encounter marksman wigglers, most players still aren't that great.
