Next DLC Speculation Thread (Part 3)

[Professional Amateur]

The only cannon that size would be a massively downsized FlaK cannon, and that's really rather unlikely for an American vehicle. They resemble a heavy barrel M2 more than any anti-air cannon. Maybe they're fast firing like the M3. Either way, those guns should have some decent stopping power to them.

 

E: Those 20s were for ship-mounted defence though, weren't they?

We guys are so obsessed with vehicles, that i am sure we missed a lot of interesting parts in the article like "highly sought after offensive and defensive technologies".

 

The hell is that ? EMP ?

What would we do with an EMP, though?

 

Mildly inconvenience someone by clubbing them with it?

 

 

Or maybe use it to shut off peoples' Hydras when they come by?

Wasn't the Hydra specifically mentioned to be EMP proof? Isn't that the whole reason we stole it FROM a hydra?

[Happy Hunter]

If we were to have another newswire article, what would be the most likely day for it ?

What was the time between newswire 1 and newswire 2 for bikers ?

I'm hoping soon. But I'm wondering if we'll even get a second one lol.

 

Also, on the guns - even if they shot snowballs, they'd still bring down most aircraft pretty quickly. Whether it's a huge machine gun or cannon doesn't really matter that much then - either will tear aircraft to shreds unless they're made tougher.

Hopefully we can get some robotic legs to help us run faster. Then I will really love my getaway sticks.

Plus, with decent air and fuel, a turbine engine can sustain itself decently without many electrical circuits.

 

Otherwise, I don't think those late-WW2 jets would've had any chance of working decently. Maybe it could take out the HUD of a jet, but not much else.

The moment gta gets exo suits. I quit.

[Haokizaru]

It is strange that we still have no leaks when we are this close to the release of the DLC.

R* seems to really care about the privacy of this DLC.

@Yan : can you tell us why aren't there any leaks so far for this update ?

[Rafae]

If we were to have another newswire article, what would be the most likely day for it ?

What was the time between newswire 1 and newswire 2 for bikers ?

 

About a week.

 

Really dying for some more information tbh.

Nope, on trucks too.

That seems logical.

 

More info next time tunables are set to update.

Well you really do learn something new every day. That looks like a German halftrack, but R* have probably combined quite a few different designs so I guess it actually could have cannons.

[Happy Hunter]

An exo-suit won't make someone quick enough to escape being run down by an APC, or taken down by an attack helicopter.

[SkylineGTRFreak]

 

so this is true??

 

 

 

 

I can see the resemblance actually - but you do have to bear in mind; you put down 10 military vehicles, odds are at least one of them is going to be similar to something or the other.

 

I would not say no to an A-10 though. But then again, there's no Hunter on the list ...

I very much doubt it. The emblems are carbon copys of the real deal. F-18, C-17, Sr-71, A-10 and F-16.

Considering we already have an F-16 with double stabilizer that pretty much rules out we'll get another one.

 

 

Coming to think of it though, a mobile airborne command center like in Agents of Shield or Fast 8 or something would be pretty neat. (Although I have no clue how to make that work)

[Haokizaru]

Anybody have any ideas on pricing yet? Hoping to grab at least a bunker, new weapons, and vehicle(s) but I feel like my cool 51mil won't cut it for some reason given the scope of this update.

 

I sit on my old speculation:

 

60 to 75 m for everything including all the drip feed content.

 

Especially now that the aircraft carrier seems more likely to be owned than ever.

 

BTW: nice fluffy profile pic

Yeah, I actually forgot about that. It's actually been a long time since I did the Humane Labs raid, lol.

[Haokizaru]

I googled high powered military hardware:

Older GTAs had RC vehicles.

I googled high powered military hardware:

 

I will take that. hopefully my exo suit can keep up with it. Sort of like a robotic teammate. army of two.

[Happy Hunter]

Next time I see some tryhards wiggling at the beach, I'm going to charge an APC down there and mow them down.

I already do that with the hydra :3

Domestobot has been upgraded since I last saw him, apparently. It's been a long time since Vice City.

That looks like the American version of the Dingo diggers we have down here.

nothing can be EMP "proof" just resistant.

And maybe we steal an EMP to sell on the black market for 20$

Yea...the hunter.

Considering we already have an apc(it kinda got me worried)confirmed...i hope they will also implement a hunter tbh...if propperly balanced of course.

 

Ugh...then again...i learned pretty much to fly jets because they are OP.

 

Well they have all these powerful ground vehicles now - I think there's more than enough to keep helicopters in check.

 

Also, about the half-track truck - do people think that's going to be anti-air, or more just a kind of artillery type thing?

 

 

I'm guessing it's an AA vehicle since it has the quad HMG mount used for air defence in WWII. Maybe they'll give it the stopping power of the Technical's gun times 4, but that's rather unlikely.

 

 

Boy those are not HMG, those are cannons lol.

 

Those are .50 cal Browning knockoffs if real halftracks are anything to go by. They look a fair bit like the DShK .50 cal MG on the Technical. Is that gun a cannon?

 

 

There are halftracks with cannons on them too. You really think the weapon system on the halftrack that was shown are machine guns? Look at the damn size of the barrel. That's obviously not a machine gun, but a cannon. here's the picture again.

 

 

Now, 12.7mm m16 halftrack.

 

 

Those are machine guns.

If that's the case I'll be content since I never buy all the things, just what I really like. Have garages full of super cars I never drive that I can unload too if I absolutely need some extra coin.

 

Also, thank you lol.

Most aircraft still have control surfaces linked by cables in case of electrical failure. An EMP blast wouldn't disable an aircraft. It'd disable the electronic systems at the most. They're susceptible to lightning strikes so they have to be protected against EMP.

 

Jet turbines don't rely on electricity once running.

 

E: Yes I know halftracks can have cannons already, you can lay off that now.

we are going to get an a-10

I hope that there will be a new website related to gunrunning.

 

How cool would it be if there was a black market website where players can trade stuff. (like a broker in MMORPGs)
