Next DLC Speculation Thread (Part 4)

[GLTh3Pr0]

Hopefully we'll get some helicopter news soon, the next teaser is less than an hour away.

[KingBen]

I've been thinking ...

 

What if the new Hangers are on small islands (big enough to fit a hanger & an airstrip) scattered around the map in "International Waters" & the whole island is a giant prop like a yacht or a bunker?

 

 

That way we are really smuggling things into the fine state of San Andreas & they can expand on the island later on with a harbor & a dry dock for naval operations.

 

If this was the case my hype for the DLC would be through the roof.

 

I've wanted to own my own island with an airstrip since day 1.

Maybe the drop tanks are just aesthetic.

Oh, and the only thing that worries me about the Hunter now is if they're going to do something retarded like lock it to two people. That would be pretty sh*tty to be honest. Like, after all I've done to get it added, I should get to actually use it, you know? It shouldn't just become a tool for groups of tryhards who are always in packs.

After the overwhelmingly negative reaction the APC got for that, hopefully they won't do that. But you know, they don't tend to learn a lesson after one time. They just have to keep pushing it until people hate them for it, ruining stuff along the way.

(Sorry for the mood lol, I haven't slept in a while).

I recon they'll release a custom version of the Savage, like they did with the Insurgent.

Not wanna break the hype, but I think that the two Hunters section is part of a mission, and the fact that there are 4 players and only 2 Hunters gives me a bad feeling about that.

yeah I ´m also expecting new custom versions of existing aircrafts like Savage or Valkyrie , just like they did in GR ...

[MaddenedGhost]

 

maybe rockstar don't put new halloween and christmant content ? makes sense

boi.

 

 

what if what they're referring to is actually coming later? like an update that will introduce the new type of races and that one may include the Halloween stuff.

Well hopefully at the very least we can have the cannon fixed when solo. We shouldn't just not be able to use the cannon at all, all because they can't accept people don't like being forced to only use these vehicles when with friends.

 

Urgh.

Rest easy.

 

You will be able to control the Hunter guns and missiles solo just like you can with the Savage.

[Bobfakkel]

Maybe the drop tanks are a requirement for upgraded engines. You have to have those before you can mount a different engine? Or maybe even certain guns or bombs cause they add weight idk just a thought

I dunno though, because in trailers and clips we've seen aircraft with nothing on the wings, with drop tanks and with rockets.

Say you buy a stock Rustler, and it comes with nothing on the wings. What would be the point of buying drop tanks if they serve no useful purpose?

 

Actually right as I wrote that, I thought: maybe the drop tanks are linked with the JATO mechanics?

Although in real life JATO don't require drop tanks, it could be R*'s way of dealing with them.

 

i don't know, im just spitting out nonsense at this point lol

[Happy Hunter]

You're probably right, I probably should just get some sleep.

 

I guess after the APC I'm paranoid about it. That could've been a good vehicle for lone wolves to defend themselves with - instead it became something that just widens the gap between groups and lone players.

 

I want the Hunter to be my sword, you know? Lol, like my thing to get out when I'm outnumbered or whatever. To see it reduced to just "something for groups of players to pick on others with" - that'd be lame.

 

But yeah, I just need sleep I think.

If they really want to ruin it as much as the APC they should make the rocket pods shoot Rhino shells.

[Aslad]

When are we due a new R* image tweet?

[CarimboHanky]

Anyone else popping out that old aviator cap they gave us awhile bacc?

back in the day i made a "ww2 pilot" outfit with the aviator cap and some leather jacket, gonna make one again to take a few pics with the rustler.

 

 

I'm interested to see what those "drop tanks" are. Can we drop them or not? What do they do? How do they function?

 

R* would very likely make them explode when dropped, probably like a huge motolov, eventho the chances of a drop tank exploding are very slim.

 

with that said, i hope they add some paper drop tanks hahaha

I agree about the droptanks. They will add as much functionality to planes that blowers add to cars.....None. Just a way to add more customization. Hunter will be sweet tbh. Irl it takes two ppl to operate a turreted vehicle. A driver and a gunner (bare minimum), but attack helicopters are different. They might add additional functionality to the copilot similar to the buzzard. The Valkyrie is the only exception, but its primarily a transport Helicopter. Hunters only weakness will be the pricetag and explosive snipers imo.

Roughly 35min from ur post, if they're following the same pattern.

I wonder if the drop tanks will work like this:

 

When they're attached, infinite fuel like usual. When you drop them because they slow you down or make you less manoeuvrable and you need to enter combat or whatever, you have a set amount of remaining fuel before you must land.

 

idk, it doesn't really seem logical to add limited fuel at this stage. But I can't really see any other use of drop tanks apart from a makeshift bomb...

 

I'm willing to bet a pack of redwood that you just gain speed and manoeuvrability once you drop them.

[Fennimoe]

My buddy mentioned the drop tanks could possibly hold Tiny Ninja Assassins... Made me lol just thinking about it. I'd use it.

Then why add them to your plane in the first place?

[Sandpanther]

Rockstar's version of drop tanks could be anything. A substitute for napalm, extended fuel capacity for the 'lol you now run out of JP-7 or whatever' or purely aesthetic. I'm not overly concerned as long as my Savage gets some love in the update.

[Mach1bud]

 

It's quiet logical for R* to slap another super car in an aircraft update; to keep all the kids kinda happy, because they can't fly for sh*t (and drive too)

Same reason we're not getting any muscle cars, EVER.

The reason we're not getting musclecars is because they suck. Sure, they kinda look cool and can be usefull in a 1/4 mile straight line, but other than that they suck. I'll take on any musclecar in the green hell in my M3 and will have wined and dined by the time it arrives at the finishline.

I'm going to pretend I didn't read this.

[GrandTheftPots]

5 mins away from R* new post?

[555-We-Tip]

Muscle car class is my favorite to compete in because it takes true talent to get consistent wins. I wish we got more cars from this group.

[Garland137]

Maybe the drop tanks are filled with nitrous. I can definitely see the R* logic at work. It'd be a way to add a visual indicator for the nitrous system and to make drop tanks useful in a game where all vehicles have infinite fuel.
