GTA Online: P-45 Nokota Fighter Plane Plus New Dogfight Mode, Discounts and More

[SaveTheZombies]

It's the same with overtime shootout. They could have had everyone go at once, just ghost everyone that isn't your opponent...

 

But it REALLY should have been everyone fighting at once.

But they do have one where everybody goes at once, and yes, it's way better than the Shootout.

Yea, this seems like s pretty weak week. I was hoping or Transformers Creator.

R* is on a turn-based schtick recently and it sucks. If I want to spend 90% of a match doing nothing I'll go play an LTS. On the rare occasions I do get a turn, it's actually kinda fun. Had some legit dogfights and I'm really getting used to the handling on the new fighters. My Hydra couldn't pull off half the stuff I'd done, and I'm not the best pilot. After one particularly long dogfight my opponent ended up crashing because he couldn't outmaneuver me. It's also funny watching these guys deploy flares as I shred them with the MGs. Finally a mode where it pays NOT to spam missiles.

Events end on the 13th.

Fingers crossed they don't skip next week and dripfeed something.

 

The new Adversary mode is another sh*t one

Ummm they kinda confirmed they're not skipping next week by announcing the current event week ends on the 13th. They could not drop anything but they've never done that after the drip has already started unless they make a two week event.

[NuclearKnight00]

Can anyone confirm the Halloween vehicles are available indefinitely now? Only got the frankenstrange because it's an exclusive...

Just like in Stockpile mode, Dogfight would be so much better with just machineguns and unguided rockets with no homing missiles. Chaff also doesn't do sh*t in Dogfight, I have yet to stop one lock on with it(I fire off chaff before the enemy fires their missile, but it still locks right onto me as if I hadn't used it). At least it's 1v1 though, so there aren't hundreds of homing missiles coming from every direction like there always are in Stockpile.

Hey R*, i know you like to troll that retarded janitor you have, but convincing him to create this adversary mode off the clock was a bad idea.

I kinda like Dogfight and one-on-one approach, while other spectace.

It is different to Stockpile. Many don't know how to fly, use the gear brake, chaff and combat spiral - being easy targets, but when they do, it is really fun and challenging.

Only you don't have to worry about losing, since your team mostly consist of newbies.

[P34NUTZ]

I guarantee they only made this adversary mode to extend their content drips. They knew people would hate it.

The next one they release will be teams instead of two people at once.

[Bruce Khansey]

LCC Sanctus still available.

 

Dogfight has to be the absolute worst AM ever made.

[GTAFanClub]

Another great Adversary Mode. But of course the inactive players ruin it for their team.

[Mrnrfan182]

How do you mess up a simple Adversary Mode like this? Oh, right, make it turn based. No, no, Im not interested in an all out brawl in the sky where the last man flying wins...I want to sit by idly while I watch other people play. Because whats more fun than not playing? Also, the maps are sometimes way too small. Two halfway decent pilots will spend 2 minutes flying in circles and earn a nice little draw because of it. Ive only been killed twice so far...but I have almost as many draws as I do wins. This is definitely going under the play each map once category and then it will never be played again.

Rockstar has no clue what they're doing what the Housers in charge. Bring back the one person who knew what they were doing...

I actually quite like the one on one aspect because it gets rid of the homing missile clusterf*ck that's present in all the other aircraft based modes. there are just too many maximum players, so you end up waiting for 4 other people to finish their turns before you can play. There should be a maximum of 6 people at most, then the most you would have to wait is two turns. Another idea is to let all the matches play at once, but with each enclosed in a walled up area so it's still one on one(nobody can enter anyone else's area), but with no waiting.

 

Even better, let everyone fly at once team vs team, but with no homing missiles allowed. Guns and unguided rockets only with a much longer time limit would make for extremely fun flying that would actually require skill and not just fire and forget missile spam. Of course that would never happen because then all the kids who don't know how to properly fly would be complaining.

Very nice plane. Very sexual.

Rockstar are literally f*cking morons for botching Dogfight... the sole purpose is for everyone to fire at each other until there's one man standing. How hard would it be to make it like that? Literally just take dogfights in freeroam and confine it to a mode. I'm astounded they even managed to f*ck something like this up lol

I can just imagine the team meeting at Rockstar HQ: "Let's make an adversary mode that is 90% waiting for your turn. That'll be a hit!" Because GTA players are well known for their patients.

As if we don't do enough waiting in this game already what with the loading times between servers

​I bought the P-45 one second after it was released, mostly for the kid in me who was fascinated with WWII vehicles. I was impressed with its performance after using it for the hanger source mission, which was my other reason for buying it, it's very good at short take offs and landings. I must say the fact that almost all the liveries cover over the secondary color is a bit annoying as it spoils my air force motif, and without a livery it looks rather plane.

Overall though I'm happy it's in the game and for me was worth the money.

[dankJay]

Not a great event week this week but at least Need for Speed Payback is out soon. Still waiting on a sale for the office garages and the Osiris. I might get the office accommodation with the free 400k when I get it.

I got one of those targeted promotions couple weeks back with 40% garage discounts (naturally, few days after dropped money on one....)

[dankJay]

At least can do dogfight 1 on 1. With just the 2 of you theres obviously no waiting and the payout is decent if you win

[PwnageSoldier]

Making a Dogfight mode with the Nokota (and others) because the adversary mode is sh*t. PS4 only, 30(?) player LTS locked to the vehicles of choice (they're gonna be armed only with MGs).

 

I'm actually excited for the FAV sale though. I really do like it.

 

EDIT:

The Nokota is a lovely little plane. It doesn't offer anything new to GTA online in weaponry or strategy, but from a collector's point of view it's really lovely. Last night I took out my Howard NX25 and Alpha-Z1 planes just to compare flight and designs and basically muse over everything. The Nokota isn't as stylish as the Howard, but it's not supposed to be, and I love the way it slowly glides and lands, and feels very old-school.

 

The new adversary mode is absolutely ridiculous crap though. Just before taking part in my first event I got a pop-up message for an LTS called 'Dogfight - the way it should be', which made me curious. After 'Dogsh*te' had ended I knew exactly why someone had created their own Last Team Standing, to show how it should have been done.

 

Rockstar have become a quantity over quality company, I'm afraid.

[Hellbendzor]

I like the Nokota.... Always been a big P51 fan... Loved that WWII plane... Now it's ours in GTA online..

 

ONe remark though... It does have very peculiar behaviour while landing and taxing on the ground...Can't put my finger on it, but it feels as if it's floating over the street.. Very strange..

 

Ofcourse, like all my planes, I went to Maze bank and landed it on top... But over there it showed off another strange behaviour... As with all these props, it's about almost stalling and putting the wheels on the ground when the stall drops in.. As I had to give a very tiny forward thrust, I had to brake it off when it set foot on Maze... But the Nokota decided it was time to bury its rotor in Maze... I couldn't get the tailsection down, so it destroyed its prop in the process...

 

Like I said, very peculiar behavior on the ground... But an amazing plane in the sky... I love it..

On another sidenote... While painting it in the shop, I noticed something... After you paint it and put a livery on, when you go back to respray and change primary, it'll change the color of the underside... I put on same livery as Rafae and also blue-ish, but with a black underside... (I hoped I could get rid of the livery's red tail-flap, but sadly that didn't work...)
