Kosatka submarine Appreciation Thread

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.

Well the poor fellows are terrified, and it's hilarious

Guided missile is my new fav aircraft

A strange thing happened to me today. Whilst in the sub’s control room, another player “popped in” for a split second right in front of me. The weird thing about it was, he was in the full Santa costume and mask

 You can spawn the sparrow anytime next to you by using interaction menu?

Yes -- as long as it isn't on the map already. If it is, you need to return it first, and then it will take 2 mins until you can request it again. But this shouldn't be a problem if you remember to always return it if you're not using it. You don't need to be CEO though to call it.

somehow i did this the other day, i think i was trying to return my personal vehicle to the garage while entering the Sparrow, not sure if that's what cause this.

I believe this can happen in all interiors. But seems way more common in the 'vehicle interiors'.

 

So thats how Santa transports extra packages that don't fit in the sleigh... Transport them using subs to the closest shore.

Different game, but the images of Kosatkas all over the landscape reminded me of this.

Has anyone figured out a solo method of submerging after firing a guided missile? Very unlikely there is one, but if there is - that'd make it much more powerful solo.

 

Right now it's much better with two people. I don't really like that way of "balancing" vehicles. It's not like it's any less powerful when two people are in it, or you'll suddenly have a good time being griefed by it then - it just means you can't return the favour on your own.

Playing on two accounts simultaneously seems to be the only solution right now. Same with any other vehicles with gunner seat.

Sailing to the edge of the map results in nothing more than a black screen and respawn on the nearest land with a rebreather and diving mask.

Sadly, the remote missiles are useless against Arms Dealer sabotage missions, you can explode a missile at their feet and they won't die.

One of the three arms dealers you have to kill is wearing juggernaut armour, and takes multiple missiles to kill no matter what you're using to shoot him. The sub's missiles are a lot safer than using the Sparrow (for example) since he can minigun you out of the cockpit.

[Verstappen]

^for this one I land on the path going up Chilliad. Clear view and you can headshot him till he's dead. He wont move a single inch.

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. 

 

Good Lord, man- you just made the Yacht actually USEFUL!

I found out the Avenger is really useful for this task. You actually can order Pavel to bring Kosatka in the pen, call Avenger and use it.

Beware, Kosatka missiles AND Sparrow can bypass the air defenses. But it can defend you from a jet or broomstick, alright.

[Johnny GTA Watson]

Not sure if this has been mentioned but you can jump from one guided missile station to the other. This pretty much gets rid of the cool down

[79'Blazer4x4]

Is anybody else's Kosatka always spawning way down in Paleto Bay when you join a session with Kosatka as your spawn point? It happens to me no matter what I do and it's really annoying, even paying to fast travel it somewhere else doesn't help.

 I keep getting Mount Gordo.

[Big Molio]

As much as I complain about the technical and quality issues inherent in this DLC, I do have to credit where it is due, and say the sub is probably the best "base of operations" that has been introduced in GTAO. The interior is pretty cool. I like that it has a brig, and I also like that ladder hatch that takes you between the helipad area and the moon pool.

All it needs is a Master Control Terminal from the Arcade. I don't care what the price is, let me control my businesses from my underwater death tube.

Yes, please!

This is one huge step to becoming a full 007 villain

I even have its location planned. If the Weapons Workshop can remove the Brig then the MCC can remove some of the useless bunks in the Sleeping Quarters.

Legitimate cover business

Jetpack
Underground Nuclear proof Bunker
Doomsday Weapon
Nuclear-powered Submarine

Stromberg/Toreador

I think we already are or never close.

Indeed. But the fact that we run our empire from a Arcade managed by a nerd couple is kinda lame for a vilain. We need that sub terminal asap xD

I'd prefer Gordo or Paleto Bay, it always puts me in Vespucci, heart of the firefight

I like Chumash personally, it's just far enough out of the city that I'm away from the chaos, but close enough that I don't need to travel across the entire map for heist setups, plus it's a spawn point for personal aircraft, so you can call them in basically right next to the sub.

[Cutter De Blanc]

Chumash would be nice too, its the only place on the map that I dont own property. Point is my sub doesnt stay where I left it when switching sessions. Maybe if I use Last Location instead of Kosatka as the spawn location?
