Why can't we use weaponised vehicles in passive mode?

[vq35altima]

Seems like one of those people that want to be in passive mode in a weaponized car so they can kill you but you can't kill them. 

[secrecy274]

Wow, can't believe people are complaining about this...

 

The removal of Passive for weaponized vehicles were the best decision R* have made in a long time.

 

So yeah, if you complain about you're most likely one of the people that abused it to get cheap kills and escape retaliation.

 

Pathetic, really.

One question: are non-weaponized helicopters such Volatus, Super Volito and Swift Deluxe still blacklisted from passive mode?

[junkpile]

I also wondered why cuz I still can cheese a kill like this and I did:

 

Seeing a griefer with the standard outfit, some jizz paint in da face, helmet, team pants with skate shoes and invisible ankles,  ravaging some low ranks

 

Same procedure like before, the passive cool down only takes longer now. 

 

Player had a bounty on em too. 

I put a sticky bomb on my car, approached him, passive cool down gone, blowing us up. 

Getting 9 k bounty and a priceless pissed reaction by the griefer. 

 

No hydra or weaponized vehicle needed. 

So I don't get why these very vehicles are only accessible in active mode

You do realise that there is a diffrence between a car with a stickybomb and a jet thats sh*tting out explosive rounds?

But I guess yours is just another case of: "Why should this one thing be regulated if these other things aren't."

You don't get my point. 

It's about the cheese kill, approaching someone, passive cool down. Surprise kill. 

You can only get one kill at a time, so yeah, no weaponized vehicle, spam rockets explosive ammo bla needed. 

Imo nothing needs to be fixed with passive mode, not even oppressor bitches. 

I still kill you all, even w/o cheese

I dont get your point because you are not making one.

Yes you can still kill me, but you can no longer jump in and out of passivemode while in a jet or other armed vehicle. Thats a start, the other stuff can still get patched too.

I explained twice, here's thrice. 

Jumping in and out ain't possible before and the cool down and activation time only extended. 

And it's only about one kill, one that counts. 

So hydras and whatnot aren't allowed as regular means of transportation cuz they can kill? 

I don't need em. 

It is still all about perfect timing. 

And guile

Yes, and the Oppressor Mk II is still as powerful as ever.

 

The point with the changes to passive mode, EWO, and requesting a Mk II as MC was to stop people who spam these.

Blame the pricks who'd passive pop in OpMkIIs and Hydras. 

This.

 

Thank the kids for abuse.

[junkpile]

Okay I must say All oppressor bitches I run into never did some hide n seek with passive mode. 

Their ride made em confident enough, boosting away and target seeking missiles

It was.

I had plenty of people jump out of Passive Mode, kill me, jump back in and message me 1-0 Lzz.

You can use them as regular transport, you just cant use them in passivemode.

[Cigars and chill]

If you are gonna fight then fight.

 

If you are gonna flight then flight.

 

Pick a lane and own it.

Yes.

 

They are blacklisted from passive mode because of issues with their Champagne/Internet function for passengers I think.

 

It's downright moronic.
