Thats what I implied with the swiss air base, I don't want a hangar in LSIA or anything the average player base's peasant can afford. I want a secret base in Mount Chiliad, Gordo, San Chianski...etc

 

Croatian one.

(its a subliminal suggestion if R* dudes come here to borrow ideas)

 

More serious source, with MiG-21 pictures inside the base.

They can't fiddle with the map too much. Think about how much the map is used for various missions. Just about the only untouched MP areas of the map left are the tops of mountains and underwater.

 

And too bad the ardent isn't as submersible as we expected.

[delorianlazarus]

Hidden air base inside a mountain, with a tiny bit of runway outside would be such a great thing. Taking off and landing north of Mt Gordo would be one of the best things ever.

Yeah, a closed hangar would be a pretty simple model to add to the map (especially as they already exist). Secret underground airbases just don't make sense. Besides, you can see the hangar interior in the trailer, and that is clearly an above ground structure.

Are they not possible to be added to current bunkers? I guess not considering you'd have to be deep enough and long enough to have a Titan take off.

[IbrahimLafayette]

They might place checkpoints in the air, when you fly through them you'll get a cutscene how the plane approaches an underground runway. Same goes for taking off, happens in a cutscene.

Also possible new small islands with runways throughout the map. If they only use the 3 available airports, missions can get very messy in full sessions.

Option A: new buildings

Option B: LSIA, Fort Zancudo and another big warehouse.

Option C: Underground as bunker

Option D: Aircraft carrier!!! xD

This jetty at the Port could possibly be used for smaller planes.

Can't see a huge bomber getting up off of it though...

 

The small building on the right could be where the exit from the hanger would be?

 

all the new aircraft are fairly small it seems

 

that would be decent

[Nomad_]

In my local town we have a small airport, used by military in the past, they have large hangers, completely overgrown with grass and trees. Maybe we have a hanger built into the countryside or something like this.

[Gridl0k]

New titan, 4-engine seaplane, skyhook...

[EggsAndJam]

Considering they're "smugglers", I'd think they'd be out in the middle of nowhere to avoid detection by the authorities.

 

A lot of the footage in the trailer does seem to take place out in the countryside,,,

[Mattoropael]

My guess is similar to what they did with bunkers. An underground facility with some sort of hatch opening to drive the place out on to a runway.

 

It would require the CEO office style "Press [insert key] to auto-land", otherwise it'd still need to be next to the 3 existing runways (4 if you include Fort Zancudo, but good luck with that).

[WHAT!?]

They'll hopefully add some new hangars around the map. No idea about where they'll be or what they'll look like or how they will offer the runway space needed. I just can't see them expecting entire lobbies to use LSIA and Sandy Shores. Not to mention most of the hangers at any given location are spawn points for Pegasus, or they need to remain open for random aircraft spawns, or they are utilized in contact missions (Titan of a Job, Los Santos Connection, etc..) It's not as simple as just using the assets available. Things are going to either be added or re-worked.

 

At least I'd assume they would be. I could be wrong and we'll end up with aircraft jousting for everyone at LSIA.

[J1M]

 

This just in!

 

Protesters chained to trees as bulldozers approach Paleto Bay.

 

 

 

Has to be carriers IMO. It's the most convenient option, considering they are already in the game, can be easily separated and make a plausibly expensive paywall.

[Pedinhuh]

I can see them adding new pieces of island souring the main land, and adding the runways and hangars.

 

In fact, I have a hard time believing they would add that huge hangar in a place like Sandy Shores, it would look too much out of place.

 

Same deal with Grapeseed.

Already used locations are not an obstacle at all. Some missions take place where bunker entrances are now: they just don't appear during the mission.

[whywontyoulisten]

I dunno, I like to think of Sandy Shores as an ex-military airbase...who else would build huge concrete runways in the middle of a desert? The town itself looks to be built on reclaimed land in the Alamo Sea, and the grid plan, rubble, and remains of larger buildings all over the place would suggest a more affluent past. Or maybe it was never completed.

[Gaffa]

The other thing is Ron, or Trevor Philips Industries (TPI) mainly operated out of the North of the map in the single player portion of the game where they were 'smuggling guns'.

There are only 2 hangars at LSIA large enough to be the one featured in the trailer and one of them belongs to the late Devon Weston so I suspect we'll be seeing hangar 1 at the Southeast of the airport up for sale.

 

All the other hangars at LSIA are smaller and are owned (currently) by Pegasus. Hangar 2 (where the titans spawn) and the hangar at the Southwest are featured in popular missions so repurposing those conflicts with gameplay.

[AH-6_BirdTurd]

I'm wondering the same thing. Whether or not new buildings will be added to the map.

 

LSIA and Fort Zancudo are (I think) the only places with hangars large enough to hold the number of aircraft and the size of aircraft we've seen. But Fort Zancudo is a restricted area.

 

Sandy Shores and Grapeseed airfields hangars are too small and are already Pegasus spawn points.

 

That only leaves LSIA that has both hangars large enough and the runways the planes will need.

 

I'm thinking whatever happens LSIA is going to be very highly populated from next Tuesday, presuming that there will be at least one hangar there, and I'll probably still purchase one at LSIA.

 

I do hope there will be locations around the map if possible though.

Sounds like the good ol GTAIV days. Love the mayhem that took place at the airport.

Option A: new buildings

Option B: LSIA, Fort Zancudo and another big warehouse.

Option C: Underground as bunker

Option D: Aircraft carrier!!! xD

Option E: An extension of THE (existing) bunker and you get just thrown in the air for takeoff and a checkpoint for landing over it (like the HL-halo) once you call for it.

Wouldn't work. There are 2 cranes placed down that stretch before you even get to the building. I land there all the time on my oppressor. I have the coke business in building you pointed to. Edited August 25, 2017 by AH-6_BirdTurd

[HeavyDuke]

with limited hangers, it's going to be a disaster trying to take off and land

Why? Taking off only takes like 50ft even with the biggest planes and landing, well lets just say i used to glitch in planes into my garage when this game was just out.

Since you put it like that, I'm sold.

 

Hoping it's a bit more interesting though and I was starting to think about the possibility of seeing 32 pimped out ACs surrounding the island.

[SummersJr28]

Or this could just be the start of some massive map expansion thing by first adding the bunkers into online and then the hangars and then possibly entirely new additions to the map as sort of a new wave of updates. I mean the map only has so much space to fly around, and with all these new planes being added it's gonna get boring real fast. I wanna see some new places to explore!

[marco6158]

In my opinion they will rework a bit the LSIA. Open hangars will be closed so there are more hangars to choose from (maybe there will be different hangar size, like warehouse: small-medium-large). I don't think there will be hangars in Grapeseed or in the Grand Senora Desert, let alone Fort Zancudo, that won't happen

 

I honsetly doubt they'll give just one hangar to choose from

Edited August 25, 2017 by marco6158

[Shadowfennekin]

Hopefully we can have hangars outside of LSIA.

I know I'm buying whatever isn't in LSIA. It'll be too crowded there.

[Wildfire_08]

I do see them adding one to Fort Zancudo... just because what would be the dumbest sh*t hey could do? Add a hangar at FZ so that people can buy it and use that as a way to bypass spending $5000 or $15000 (IIRC) on keeping the cops from attacking people going for Lasers permanently.

 

Outside of that... The airport for sure, Blaine county at the other end of the airstrip maybe?

 

Maybe even off the north coast somewhere.

[FrugalDangerMan]

But the K/D farming will be amazing what with any death in the airport spawning out front of the terminal.

 

Sit up on the roof and wait for some douche canoe to bomb the runway and then pick off the spawns as they pop up.
