Next DLC Speculation Thread (Part 6)

[AStiffBreeze]

The Strikeforce should be interesting. They should've made the brrt even more prominent IMHO, but it's good that it has it anyway. I would've liked to see it have the Hydra cannon and Hydra armour, but I guess the crappy cannon and ridiculous armour are what we're getting. I think it's going to be very, very difficult to deal with from the ground, much like the way the Hydra and Lazer used to be so OP before explosive sniper rounds. 

 

At least it'll be the new go-to aircraft for Smuggler's Run missions. And griefers.

Hopefully we get some more contact missions like the dispatch services. 

Yes. Something small and cheap. Something for all the new low level players.

 

If the game is to live longer I would ignore all the aircraft carriers and 100 million dlc speculations. New players can't buy that crap.

 

Down to earth. Just something small, cheap and funny. No more reskinned multi million go-play-fetch crap.

Here's the thing. The gun is weaker. The armor is tougher. The aircraft is supposed to be slower. The biggest point is the barrage missiles. I honestly doubt it'll be the grief machine everyone cowers at the thought of because almost any means to counter will make their mark. It will be eaten up in dogfights more armor or not.

We'll see shortly. The armour means infantry have no counter, so the Strikeforce should be able to take as many passes as it wants with the barrage missiles. On the dogfighting front, I saw it taking on a Starling and beating it repeatedly, which would mean the Pyro might be the only thing that can shoot it down. But the Pyro still has to land a tonne of hits thanks to the armour, while the Strikeforce has that explosive cannon (even with the reduced damage).

 

But I'm just going off what the YouTube modders have shown, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

Honestly to new players everything is new. Veteran players need more catering because for them 90% of the content is past its shelf life more than a year old gallon of milk left in an Arizona attic without refrigeration.

 

And gta5 sold a new milestone recently. I'm baffled as to how many more potential buyers are out there.

 

I wont disagree on new contact missions but I disagree on new players need to be catered to.

That's very true. If you're a new player, then the number of contact missions currently in the game is already pretty daunting.

I really doubt that. Hydra only takes 2 less explosive sniper rounds - in return it's a smaller target, has a massively superior cannon.

 

I don't it being used for griefing. It doesn't have the firepower.

If that is true they really failed at bringing this beast to digital life.

 

The A-10 is supposed to be garbage in dogfights due to its weight and symptoms of it. It's an air to ground support unit for helicarrier sake

[Mexicola9302]

When is it gonna be released in like 10 minutes, or it's still more than an hour?

Hmm, that wasn't the case in the video that I saw: the Strikeforce took way more. 

[CrysisAverted]

should have had the giant gun fire orbital cannon strikes at a 1.8x faster fire rate than the annihilators cannons smh

I think 38 mins from now.

 

I want that thing but It's not a pegasus vehicle... means I'll never use it cuz whom'st'v'died for me to call in my personal vehicle and remain without wheels... such an awful design call... Got a hanger full of cool stuff that I never use.. I don't play in public sessions and If i do I don't attack people... Wish I stopped buying stuff I don't need but somehow I see that jet in my hanger in about half an hour T_T

- B-11 isn't much bigger so it makes no difference
- strong armor
- good speed
- countermeasures 
- barrage
- explosive rounds (strong enough for griefing even if you don't agree)

ofc it will be used for griefing... 

But I just hope its balanced enough (so it doesn't ruin dogfighting)

If it's like that the cannon is more tolerable I guess, though I still don't like it.

 

I was under the impression it was just 5, which while it would waste your ammo a bit - wouldn't be all that hard to put in it.

Well some people don't expect to have to defend themselves, and let themselves be griefed. I'll see in an hour how much trouble they give me.

[Mexicola9302]

Probably gonna do some Hangar missions with it, even tho im bored of them, and they are not worth the trouble.

If you own Fort Zancudo you can simply borrow the lazer that spawns there for smuggler run missions

Got mine since it was on sale and the 2x bonus that week was very profitable so I had the spare funds (made enough in 2 days)

[Tez2]

The Strikeforce use the explosion data for the Rogue cannon.

250 at center, 50 at edge

Even if the cannon sucks, barrage missiles should make up for it.

Cannon is the A-10 though. I can kill with a barrage easily, like on the Hunter. But the vibe ... The vibe ... The freedom ... The bbbbrrrtt.

 

Makes it worse that people still aren't happy having killed it before it even released, and still demonize it.

[CarimboHanky]

since they tied the release of the stafford with tale of us introduction mission, wonder if they would make the a-10 part of the dixon intro...

I think the mission is chasing NPCs on bikes, iirc.

this is true!

 

i remember watching a short video and the pilot described the a-10 as "a cannon with a plane attached"

It's true.

 

The A-10 Thunderbolt is basically a plane built around a gun.

Unfortunately, it is. And afaik, you're forced to use Tony's Schafter. AFAIK. Not 100% sure.
