How does the performance of the new tampa (fully modified) compare with the DoD and the A. Kuruma?

It performs similarly to a normal Tampa, so it's not really going to be as fast as them.

I'll be on in about an hour. Bring your A. Kuruma and AP pistol and we can try it out

and I can bring the Duke. haha

 

[rallymorten]

Uhhh.. Insurgent/Ballistic Equipment, if need be? All the good ones are sort of taken, sooo..

 

[Sage Ages]

I heard that the Kuruma has bullet resistant windows now. Anyone know if that's true?

Bullet resistant in the sense that they cannot be destroyed, or they'll be destroyed after a certain number of shots like on the Armored Schafter?

 

[rallymorten]

The windows on the Kuruma are most certainly breakable. It'll take somewhere around six FMJ rounds from the MK2 Heavy Sniper to shatter any given window.

Still on the ropes about the MOC? RPG fired almost point blank. Even destroyed his car on the left

And if you're still not convinced, here's a cold hard fact.

You'll need a hell of a lot of rockets to kill this thing, way more than what a tank or APC can take.

Plus fully tuned it's the quickest truck in the game so doing Haulage with this thing becomes easy and routine.

In other news, the Dune FAV is a disappointment.

As in bullet resistant, not bullet proof.

 

[JR98]

It's also great for running over & blowing up parked griefer's Oppressors without having to pay the 20k insurance charge

I guess I know what the next purchase is then!

 

[STI9]

Myself and @Flash_Sweden did a couple of highway speed tests between the Tampa and the A.Kuruma. They were pretty much even but I would say the Tampa had a slight edge. Could have been lag or whatever but they are pretty much the same. The armour is 100% cosmetic. There is a steel plate that partially covers the drivers door window but you can shoot straight through it. Louvers also do nothing.

 

[m8h3r]

Well that's a bit of a bloody let down!

Maybe it's a bit disappointing, but it's cheap instead. The most expensive level of armoured plating is ~$1500. The regular armor is ~$50k as usual

 

[SomePlayaDude]

What the tugboats are made for.

Can the MOC be modified after purchase or are you stuck with what you pick?

Well at least it looks good then....

You can go back to warstock to renovate it after purchase

 

[rallymorten]

I totally haven't spent an hour or so trying to get the Oppressor I bought today up here only by the-floor-is-lava-but-rooftops-aren't-ing.

Managed to do it again later, and that one was actually recorded.

This is everything I wanted the Rocket Voltic to be, but better in every single way. 10/10 would 🤬 Trade Price again.

Edit: Pro Tip: with the jet power, expect to see it hit top speeds of around 238 km/h - or some 10% faster than everything else that counts as a ground vehicle, hence making it a perfect choice for the top speed challenges.

 

[Sage Ages]

Apparently, the BJXL and the Seminole are supposed to be able to tow trailers according to the game files, even though they don't have tow hooks and can't actually do so in-game.

Good job R*.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

So is there any indication on what might come out in 12 hours? Guesses are either the Insurgent or the Torero.

Looking at random pictures of cars on luxury boats, I'm really hoping it's gonna be the Torero.

 

[Sage Ages]

Leaning towards Torero. I don't think they'll release two Warstock vehicles in a row.

 

[rallymorten]

Do we even have any indication tomorrow's a "good" Tuesday? The schedule recently's been somewhat inconsistent.

If we do get something, god I hope it's either the Torero or XA-21.

 

[Sage Ages]

It'll either be the Torero or Insurgent. The XA-21 is one of the last ones to be released if I'm not mistaken.

 

[SkyArkz23]

Im leaning towards the Insurgent. I highly doubt they'll drop the Ardent anytime soon

 

[Sage Ages]

Is it bad that I have $5 Million and no idea how to spend it? I'm already bored with the GR vehicles and we don't get anything new for at least two more months.

The XA-21 may or may not help..

 

[leeislee]

I'm guessing the answer is no but.....

Is it possible to sell the SPVs? I would love to sell my Ruiner 2k and rocket voltic. The oppressor has made them obsolete to me.

No.

Anyways, the Torero is purchasable for 998k. The Torero/Cheetah Classic relationship is similar to the previous Infernus Classic/Turismo Classic trend. Get it if you want a sweet Countach, and not for racing.

And if you're wondering what classic car media this car most likely references, like how the Cheetah is Miami Vice:
