New Smugglers business one of the least Profitable?

After crunching some numbers here and there and knowing that at a full warehouse of 50 all being of the same time gets you a 60% bonus ($16,000 per crate), actually using this as a source of income is completely pointless and suicidal to do so, a medium ceo warehouse filled completely to 42 crates after costs(if doing them one at a time) nets you a 55% bonus on ur crates or $15,500 per crate, so while not more profitable technically, it is easier and much much faster to do, large warehouse being vastly more profitable, and Vehicle Cargo still stands out to me as the best money maker as in 20 missions (10 thefts, 10 sales) i will earn a gross profit of $800,000, equal to that of the smugglers hangar, with half the effort, the only value this uodate brings is customized air vehicles and the only reason to even bother with stealing smuggler cargo is to get the discounts on the new vehicles, dont bother wasting your time selling the cargo.

 

EDIT: after re-Crunching numbers, and including the Potential random bonus that you can get(which i am almost entirely convinced is from returning the delivery vehicles safely) if you have 3+ members Smugglers run is one of the most profitable you can do if you stockpile the first 3(Narcotics, Chemicals, Medical supplies) and if you have 4 people, there is nothing more profitable, Vehicle I/E comes close but just short, there is a potential to make 1.2 million in a single sale after only 13 supply missions plus the sale itself and thats not including and mini sales you might do to help pass cooldown timers in between sourcing the major 3.

The new missions are a lot more fun than crates... I'll do the smugglers mission for fun and unlocking the airplanes. Since I'm not that experienced and skilled with air-vehicles other than the buzzard I think I'll enjoy this DLC for quite a while.

 

For moneymaking I'll stick with a variation of I/E, bunker selling, heist. But only every now and then when I need the cash.

Yeah, I come to the same conclusion.

 

I mainly use the SR update to gain Access and flight clearance to Fort Zancudo. And I steal crates for the Discounts. If I want to make some serious paper though, I stick to I/E. Damn, that 2x I/E week was sweet...

 

I have to admit though, that many of the stealing Missions are quite fun and very dynamic.

The Wandering Hunter

hopefully we'll get this doubled at some point so it's worth it

Destroying other player's cargo increases the value of your own as well. That's why it's so worthless.
