Wasn't "Tenderness" not the female kevlar armor?

 

There are many words with meaning "Tenderness", so probably a synonym. There are also handcuffs with such designation.

Oh yes, my bad. It's "Grace". But handcuffs called "Tenderness" is surely something.

Back to topic, did you know that you can drag the submarine across land with a tank? Thanks for flexcreator for making it known.

The guided cruise missiles are worth every million you put into it.  You can keep a missile launched and fly around the map without a time limit...chasing broom sticks.

Get one before they nerf it.

[Rusty4x4]

With 2 or 3 people, you can shoot the missiles then the captain can submerge, taking you off the radar. Hit your targets, have the captain surface then immediately submerge again, giving the missile crew just enough time to fire. It's hard for people to figure out where the missiles are coming from this way, and if they do the captain can fast travel away and immediately submerge

 

I'm usually not a big PvPer, but these missiles are fun.

OK, so I'm like 95% certain the Sparrow is not upgraded even though it has Armor/Engine/Handling upgrades in the files. With max engine and handling, it flies in a straight line at max speed with max bank angle (i.e. holding ascend and forward). Non-upgraded it instead slowly loses altitude over time doing the same thing.

One of my favorite things to do is park my submarine next to my Yacht and turn my Yacht’s AA system on. It protects my Sub from any douche bags on bikes, jets or heli’s. 

[V-The-Wonderman]

 

Neat thing, not sure if exactly worth the full upgrade price. Sparrow seems - waste? We already have Sea Sparrow out for while, why not let it park in the sub, not like there is much difference between the two. Like said, waste. Some other more interesting vehicle could have filled that spot. 

 

Plus for missiles, already blasted few griefers from fair distance. Course im worried griefers turn that system into something to f*ck up cargo stuff and people just generally minding their business.

Can you buy the Kosatka without owning a penthouse?

Because I heard some rumors that you need a penthouse to acces the VIP part of the music locker. And, well I dont want a penthouse on my secondary character.

I just want the sub to finaly get her some mk2 guns without buying an overpriced property (like for the moc, the avenger or the terrorbyte) to then buy the vehicle.

Seriously though this thing looks so damn good in the snow at night! Though I am curious how big this is compared to the Sub in the Doomsday heist.

The Sparrow is surprisingly very useful. It functions like the CEO Buzzard, spawning right beside you, instantaneously, and not classed as a personal vehicle, so you can spawn another vehicle with it. I'd recommend it if you plan on doing The Cayo Perico Heist or using the Kosatka often. Having a fast vehicle with a quick exit/entrance out on sea is a must. The Kraken Avisa on the other hand, it's not worth it; the Toreador is a better option the underwater.

You can! You can't access the VIP area without a owning the Penthouse, but you still get cutscene and contacts without it. I tried it on my second character that only owns a low-end garage.

I asked for fun toys, I got the Kosatka. I cannot complain.

Nice. Now I only need to wait for a discount.

It’s a shame we can’t name our subs.

some day I’ll find a use for ‘blyatmobile’, some day.

is it weird that I own the sea sparrow (in my hangar) but I can’t call for it on Pegasus anymore?

The Sea Sparrow was never a Pegasus vehicle, it came out after SR so goes straight to the hangar when you buy it.

The Sparrow is incredibly useful for doing the heist prep.

There's also a weapon workshop in the arena if you buy the weapons expert.

[Killerman29]

It's true that if someone attacks your kosatka while you're out, Pavel will submerge it to avoid being destroyed?

Yeah, but I dont want an arena on my secondary either.

I always wanted an avenger without the facility. The sub fits right into this spot.

They could but it is not that worth it ... the overall missile high speed counters the angle of curve + general maneuvers.

 

Way easier is to our salty bois to get a Broomstick MK.2 or a Jet to grief than this submarine.

 

 

Used the missiles to get some bounties, to help my friends in some setups and to troll some KD warriors, it was FUN.

 

The Sparrow + Kosatka fast travel is the reason why someone can do all the essential preps in less than a hour.

 

Sadly the Avisa is trash, but it is hella beautiful in blue, goddamn ...

 

Our Helmsman Pavel is our GTA equivalent of ME Joker, both are cool characters which have nice dialogues. (Pavel alone is better than (99% of all GTA V secondary characters).

 

Last, but not the least ...

 

YOU CAN DRIVE THE SUB™.

 

Man .... i spent a full 9M on this sub and i don't have any f*cking regrets unlike the Gold Luxor, Gold Swift or the Yacht (when it was launched)...

So, does anyone know if there's a spot for healing, aka green juice, inside the sub? There's pretty much all the apartment amenities but wondering if its a spot to regen health in between preps.

There's no Green Juice but the mess has a counter where you can infinitely refill your snacks, so you could heal by snacking while running (to stop the snack animation) and then refilling them for free there.

Bought my sub today,it's a cool vehicle

[Aquamaniac]

How much damage does the missiles do? I guess I survived a missile impact in my Dukes O'Death or it was no direct hit, must have been a submarine missile since a submarine was the only other player anywhere near on the map.

According to this video by @GhillieMaster https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V89-mcs95wo

it takes 4 guided missiles to blow up a Nightshark.

 

When occupied, the Nightshark can tank 27 homing missiles and the Duke O'Death 9. So the Duke O'Death should survive at least 1 guided missile hit. If they did the equivalent of 9 homing missiles in damage, the Nightshark would blow up in 3 guided missile hits.

You can use them to destroy the Buzzards and the weapons dealers in the disruption missions, combine it with thermal goggles and it's hard to miss a target.

For a submarine I expected something like a cruise missile that should easily destroy any vehicle in the game with one hit (glad that it doesn't though), did I understand it correctly that you can fly the missile yourself like a drone? Maybe one day GTA Online ends because a MC dropped the nuke ;)

[FuturePastNow]

This is going to sound really stupid

 

But I think there's an Asian man trapped inside the sub. After you take the helm of the sub, leave the helm, go up top and start shooting up the unbreakable windows on the conning tower. You'll hear him scream.

 

It's like when you leave the helm of the sub, it spawns a NPC in control of it as an "autopilot" to keep it in position. I don't think he spawns until a player has had control. I think it despawns him when a player takes control. But then he's in there, screaming in terror as I shoot at my sub.

 

Either that, or something has really broken with my game.

 

E2: and maybe not Asian, but it sounded like the one of the Korean gang NPCs to me

There at least three NPCs stuck in the submarine, quite often you can see their top halves sticking out of the conning tower, which is an obvious bug. I think I read somewhere that they are only there to provide something for homing weapons to lock on to, which would seem a total bodge, but very Rockstar.
