No.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

I'm sure you remember the Fort Zancudo air control tower? When I went in to hide from bounty hunters?

An interesting fact is that when police helicopters appear to bring you down when you're inside (I blame the people wanting my bounty), they can shoot through the glass and wound you when you can't retaliate.

This raises an interesting question if players from the outside can kill the guy inside. Mod menus.. AWEIGH!!

That moment when you're doing Titan Of A Job and the plane catches fire mid-flight.

That moment when you're doing Titan Of A Job and the plane catches fire mid-flight.

How does that even happen? Was the pilot flying low enough for AIs to spawn and take shots at the plane?

On another note, the Titan can continue flying on three engines. If you're over the Vinewood Hills and two engines cut out, you can still make it to Sandy Shores Airfield but you need to be careful with the landing; if both engines are shot out on the same side, you will need to use a lot of rudder to keep flying straight.

I had to push some debris out of the way because some idiot started shooting missiles into the hangar. As soon as I took off, the propellers burst into flames and I had to land it before it would stall or blow up.

Oh. So, mission failure, then?

Nope. I made it to the airfield in time.

Not even that. When a level 30 or lower hops in the plane, I practicly become religious and pray that they can land it at the airfield.

Nothing like spending a nice chunk of time clearing out the hanger to have an inexperienced pilot plant the thing in the dirt literally feet from the objective...

If you've picked up a Lurcher Hearse or a Fränken Stange and want to terrorize foes, take advantage of Double RP in Land Races all weekend long.

 

[Snorevette]

When are they gonna do a double GTA$ event without any playlists or anything? I can't really utilize that double RP bonus when I'm already approaching lv150 and am not bothered about how large the virtual number next to my name is when it doesn't come with actual unlocks.

I would be fine if I could go down a bunch of levels if I could convert my RP to cash. I'm at 195 right now, so ideally, I would go back to 135, since that is the last level that truly matters (Being able to carry 10 bulletproof vests). All other levels are just bragging rights.

Well, of course R* wouldn't give you a lot of money, but something decent I'd hope.

 

[pokemonfan58]

Yes.



Nope. It can spawn on the police helipads as well.

Really?

 

[Dagger311]

Glad to hear slasher's staying. That, with a first person lock is a blast.

 

[m8h3r]

I'm going to guess this is current gen only? I went on today and don't recall any t-shirt unlocking.....

 

[Dan]

99% sure it is. Last gen didn't get any halloween-related items, so it's more than likely current gen-exclusive.

 

[Sage Ages]

Really?

Ever looked?

Do DM/Capture/LTS nightvision kills count for unlocking free chrome motorcycle wheels? I feel like I should've unlocked them by now if they do...

When a level 30 or lower hops in the plane, I practicly become religious and pray that they can land it at the airfield.

I've seen far too many 100+ers divebomb it to consider that a fair reaction.

 

[Dagger311]

I remember one time I did that mission. A rank 300 was the pilot, out of lives, one guy spectating. Me him and someone else in the plane. He yells "Allah Ahkbar" and slams it into the maze bank.

Gg Dude.

Let me rephrase that.

If I'm not in the pilots seat, I will rip you out of it to enshre success.

I got my NVG kills in a survival, pretty much a straight cakewalk.

Had the exact same thing happen to me, I don't think it was somebody with a rank that high though.

 

[m8h3r]

Me thinks this is a common occurrence. I don't know if there was a war cry but he had a mic. I just had him muted but we ended up half way up the maze bank. I dived out when I could see him heading towards it.

 

[STI9]

In my case I think it was just some white american A hole kid who thought he was being funny or simply trying to get a reaction. I paid no attention and moved on but others were shouting at him while he laughed.

 

[Dan]

I do not blame you. Most players only know how to drive (But not effectively) and shoot. Rockstar made flying less accessible to the majority of players with huge amounts of turbulence, weak aircraft that can be brought down by small arms fire (Assault rifles and SMGs), and the prevalence of Homing Launchers. The latter has seriously broken online. Level one players should not be able to access weaponry that powerful. Most high-level players spent a long time reaching level 100 to unlock the RPG. Why do beginner players get such an easy start now?

I was under the impression they had to be other players.

I agree. Homing launchers shouldn't be unlocked until after the minigun. Me and Katiegan were flying in a helicopter earlier and some level 84 shot us down and I killed him over 40 times and he killed me 7 or 8 times. It was really fun.

You can do that?

Yep, just hold triangle.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

A big surprise I found is that the Homing Launcher also locked on cars.

But not on people. Especially not on me when I aim the Heavy Sniper at your head.

Homing Launchers shouldn't lock onto unarmed aircraft as well. Yes, there's the threat of a Titan pilot trying to kamikaze players on the ground, but there's a fix for that: Hide, bait them into an area where they'll crash but you live, or use any of the guns in the game that can damage these weak aircraft at any time.

Yep, just hold triangle.

Wouldn't that put you in the rear seat?
