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

[rlk232]

Does not make sense and feels out of order. This should have come before gunrunning and then that could have been an add-on Dlx a few weeks later. Baffling and uninteresting to me frankly.

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".

Lets hope, I'm hoping the escort will be a be classed as sports and have performance similar to the Kuruma, Sultan, Tropos and Omnis.

I think so. F&F but more pointed to air vehicles.

I think, that the difference between F&F, MC, I/E, Gunrunning and Smuggler Runs is that you will need to own an air vehicle to do stuff, not just a property.

Also dripfeed till December. (dripfeed or however this thing is called)

instead of an apache we need a literal flying tank

 

oh wait that thing is just as bad

 

 

seriously though we have no idea how many shots they will take to destroy. plus they might end up merging that sniper rifle against vehicles.

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...

No you are missing nothing. Pointless

[SHADOW OPS]

I do look forward to more sky targets with no bs points or bs insurance.

[RedwoodLynx]

 

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?

 

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 haven't played recently, so correct me if I'm wrong, but isnt the explosive sniper a 1-2 shot on every aircraft? Unless they provide some sort of armor upgrade I can't see these new aircraft being different- it would be weird for a WW2 plane to have more armor than the Lazer.

 

Also, countermeasures wouldnt mean much against a hitscan sniper...

[Nyamber]

it would be weird for a WW2 plane to have more armor than the Lazer.

It's already weird that an APC has more armor than a tank. If they want people to buy these vehicles, they WILL have more armor than the current ones. Otherwise why would people buy more expensive new ones over the cheaper old ones?

there's also OTR and presumably we will have access to ghost organisation while smuggling...

 

And in a plane you can easily get across the entire map with ghost, + flying low... the explosive sniper won't be an issue.

 

It's barely an issue to experience jet pilots anyway without OTR, so why would it be an issue to people flying cargo low + OTR.

 

Only the dumb f*cks will get suppressed by that on a constant basis.

The Russians already made one of those during WWII:
