—TheSquid— Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Another useless vehicle for the pile. And to think this had so many of us convinced we might have customization for boats.

And to think this had so many of us convinced we might have customization for boats. Would be nice if on the XB1/PS5 version, the island is loaded in tandem with the main map and there is a smugglers vs coast guard adversary mode or something. Smugglers get speedboats, coast guard gets these things: "Stop the smuggles from Cayo Perico before they reach Puerto Del Sol Marina!" The major problem with boats right now is that the map renders them useless. You can't really go anywhere inland, there aren't enough waterways and to get a boat you have to travel to an edge of the map. They are annoying to get to and there's no incentive to use them.

GLTh3Pr0 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Along with the submarine this is easily the best part about the update for me, or at least, "the vehicle that got screwed up the least". I'm glad that they went for a PBR Mk II since the front/side armor panels along with the closed roof allow very good protection for the driver, who is only vulnerable from gunfire from the rear, making it the best boat to use with a wanted level. Weapon wise, the double .50 turret deals quite a lot of damage and as far as I know this is the first non-aerial vehicle to mount it, the rear .50 is standard but still a good solution for its limited firing arc. Speed and maneuverability are ok, and it can be airlifted by a Cargobob if needed. With no possibility to customise boats I think the current livery is pretty good, and I'm glad they went with the classic olive drab/red paintjob of the US riverine navy; I dig the small skull decals too. My one major complaint is that they should have given it the possibility to resist 1 or 2 explosions before exploding.

Sov47 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Don't know if I'm reading too far into this but hear me out: Apocalypse Now was a movie version of Heart of Darkness set during the Vietnam War instead of the late 19th century. Both stories' antagonists were named Kurtz. In Apocalypse Now, they venture deeper into the jungle using the same-ish patrol boat. Hence why the GTA rendition was called Kurtz. Now to figure out what the 31 stands for. Rev. Gnash, —TheSquid—, Pedinhuh and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsekaiExpress Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) Bought it instantly. This boat is really fun in some contact missions that involves aquatic assault.

ForcefulMars459 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Nice nod to "Apocalypse Now" in both the name and the looks. Once I unlock the trade price, I'll buy it. Yellow Dog with Cone and Waldbear 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLTh3Pr0 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Because it's R*, the skull decal in the boat is extremely low quality compared to the Mogul's from a few years back: Yellow Dog with Cone and 79'Blazer4x4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Alamo sea had been larger, with navigable rivers/canals leading to it, or had even been a large bay leading into the centre of the island, it would have given the map a hell of a lot more playability. Far too much of this map is taken up by useless and inaccessible mountains. 79'Blazer4x4, BJBooBoo, Yellow Dog with Cone and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
