Is it bad that now Planes will be able to drop bombs all over place?

[AH-6_BirdTurd]

The new update is going to be crap and another huge waste of GTA cash. It will cost you millions to buy an air hanger, millions to buy the new aircraft, millions to upgrade the aircraft until they are any good, and then they will be easy to shoot down with rockets and explosive ammo, then you will only be able to make between 400k and 1 million back with the smuggerls run business not even clawing back 1% of the money you spent on it. Each new update is virtually the same as the last and each gets used less and less.

Well dont buy anything. Just save your money for the next one. Just sit back and watch others enjoy their new toys. Thats what i do when a dlc doesnt grab my attention. Edited August 25, 2017 by AH-6_BirdTurd

[hugh750]

since the smuggler's run dlc is coming out soon is that why r* doubled the payout on the import / export car sales?

i know i'm a bit off topic but today i sold a high end car for $200.000 instead of the usual $100.000.

[Skeve613]

A shame there's no bouncing bombs for true Dambusters fun.

 

With any luck, a modder reading that is now working on a mod that lets you blow up the dam above the city and unleash a huge wave on the city below

 

... or maybe that's just me who wants to do something like that...

[MitchMaljers]

Theres probably a delay on dropping carpets of bombs.. Or you'll have to restock in the hangar after a few runs like some others said.

yes I imagine there will be some sort of limit on it otherwise people will just be flying around bombing everything. although there is no limit for jet fighters, something that always seemed annoying that there is unlimited rockets.

 

don't think I'll bother but I am looking forward to watching the destruction though

[Sentinel Driver]

If someone is bombing the hell out of you here's what to do

 

1. Go passive

2. Call Hydra

3. Go ghost org

4. Go off passive

5. ????

6. Profit

[Cheesy_wotsit]

I am at a cross roads here, you see down one road you have The Oppressor and quite a large chunk of the GR DLC that shows YES Rockstar are indeed THAT stupid that they would allow Freeroam bombing runs however if you look the other way, that very small, almost unnoticable gap between two buildings that has a tramp and his vomiting dog living in it, that's the road that is still telling me that NO not even Rockstar are THAT stupid.

 

So I am going to toss my hat down that road and say that the bombing runs will be part of whatever missions you have to do to unlock the vehicles for a cheaper price (the same as the import / export and gunrunning stuff) but the actual ability to bomb players in freeroam won't happen.

 

 

1. Go passive

2. Call Hydra

3. Go ghost org

4. Go off passive

5. ????

6. Profit

 

Correct me if I am wrong since the planes will be classed as a personnel vehicle won't you have to replace '6. Profit' with 6. Pay stupidly high insurance cost?

[Mattoropael]

You act like every single player is going to be able to afford such a plane with the ability to drop these bombs, when in reality only a small percent can actually afford the likely research and weapon cost. Don't stress about it.

 

Don't forget how few among those are skilled and lucky enough to get through without getting shot down by explosive snipers, drop the bombs and actually hit something worth a damn.

You can't Ghost Org in passive.

 

Also, any pilot worth a damn just know when you're heading for an airpad, which airpad you're heading for, and when should they arrive to destroy your Hydra before you're anywhere near it. Even if you go Off-Radar, they can just patrol the nearest spots (and there aren't many) unless they're really distracted by something more pressing.

I say let it rain. I will use a bomber to bomb a bomber with bombs.

[_47_]

I will be dropping warheads on foreheads at sky limit. There is nothing anyone can do about it except to hide or get a jet and take me out. Boy am I going to enjoy this. Hahahaha

[hugh750]

do you guys think r* will buff the armor on the savage in the upcoming dlc??

[The Wandering Hunter]

 

Totally dropping these bombs while flying upside down.

I'd love to see someone doing the fly upside down challenge and accidentally f*ck themself over by "dropping bombs" lol

in just cause that does not end well

[Biter]

You will not hit anything. You could drop 100 bombs from a moving plane at that height and hit 1000m from the target.

I'll eat my hat if that works. The bombs will despawn as soon as they're out of sight and will just never reach the ground (or they'll explode after a given time, like missiles).

 

Or you could just grow a pair and fly through the streets dropping bombs. I can see that being a LOT of fun.

You're moving when you drop them.

[Gridl0k]

We will continue the carpet bombing until the Eclipsians submit.

and you know your altitude and speed, so with practice you could be accurate from high altitude. that said they would likely despawn.

[Gridl0k]

There might even be advanced technology like bomb sights

 

Joking of course there won't.

[FrozenDanCicle]

A bomber flying max height will have to take an absolute stab in the dark about when to release to hit a moving target.

 

However, using my bomber to massacre an MC trying to hold an area or take a stab at killing a "VIP Search," will be enjoyable.

[Gridl0k]

A bomber flying max height will have to take an absolute stab in the dark about when to release to hit a moving target.

 

A bomber travelling at 80mph and a height of 8,000ft will have to release X yards before the target to hit it. Gravity is constant, target altitude matters but not much.

 

Calculating X is something we've been doing since about 1914.

 

I can see a bit of cardboard taped to my TV before too long heh

It can't be worse than modders exploding everyone remotely, so no, not bad.

[hugh750]

i'm going a bit off topic but how bad do you think the air combat will be over los santos after the new dlc comes out??

[NightShark]

Either

• You won't be able to drop bombs in free mode
• Or you will only be allowed to drop say 20 bombs at a time before have to return to your hanger for more at about $5K per bomb

[JustCallMeNiko]

I doubt there will be anything to worry about... what could you do with a bomber that you couldn't already do with a hydra?

[Shadowfennekin]

Hopefully it only takes one or two explosive bullets/rockets at most. Otherwise yeah, it may be a problem if they can just drop bombs unlimitedly. A griefer's dream...

But the Hydra and Oppressor will remain the kings of the air I'm guessing.... I hope the WWII plane is great though, I want to actually get to enjoy it.

[Xiled]

Knowing rockstar there is probably going to be a limited number of flares in the new aircraft.

Edited August 26, 2017 by Xiled

[georgewillie]

Rockstar's going to find a way to incorporate bombing heavily populated city areas during delivery missions just to make it impossible for team money earning crews to make money as well lol. Lobby full of crew members and you have to carpet bomb half of them and a few NPCs for your mission.

[FlacidJack]

Calm down people, it's not like it was ever peaceful. More effective tools isn't going to change much at this point imo.

<p>Either

• You won't be able to drop bombs in free mode
• Or you will only be allowed to drop say 20 bombs at a time before have to return to your hanger for more at about $5K per bomb

or you get a pretty sounding lady voice who repeats "insert shark card to engage bombs".

It "hangar" btw, i know spellcheck is a b***h

 

[Fireboy769]

That depends.

Is it gonna be a vaguely small carpet bomb or is it gonna be Just Cause 3-Levels or Carpet Bombing? If it's the latter, we're all screwed.
