One of the funky things about post-hangar aircraft is that they have armour upgrades in the mod shop. So by default the strikeforce may be unimpressively sturdy, but with full upgrades it takes 6 homing rockets to destroy, which is apparently double the other toughest non-Avenger aircraft according to this brief test video.

It's also incredibly resilient in crashes with the local scenery. I pinged it off trees multiple times last night and kept clipping my wings on everything trying to get used to doing attack runs, and it just kept flying with no issues. I kept expecting one of them to just rip the wing off like with everything else, but that plane is solid. I've got full armor on mine, which might explain a lot :v:

Is there some general wisdom for figuring out why you can't connect to a game with particular friends online? We're on Xbox One, open NAT, ports forwarded, IPv6, the whole shebang. Party chat works, all other games work, just GTA Online that tells us it can't find the session, or it timed out, or just failed to connect. Been playing this game since release and it's always been finnicky but this entire year has been terrible, we can play together maybe 30-40% of the time we try. It's almost more frustrating that it randomly works sometimes because I can't even conceive of what the problem would be. Rockstar and Microsoft support are obviously unhelpful, and our ISPs have confirmed we have open NAT and appropriate ports. Is there anything else we can do?

Is GTA Online a fun game?

Like I've been playing a bit, bought a bunker and some upgrades for it and it makes a reasonable amount of money that I've been saving up for that flying motorbike, but honestly, the missions in Online all seem really boring compared to the single player ones.

Outside of running heists and so on with friends, and griefing people trying to deliver supplies or whatever, is there anything to really look forward to?

You can look forward to... well, nothing. If you're not down with playing the same few heists & selling off your business stock then you're probably going to hate the poo poo out of this game. Fun is subjective. I have a lot of fun hanging out with randoms & seeing what kind of trouble we get up to. Sometimes you run into a cool wizard modder who flies you around the map, spawns a bunch of random cool vehicles, etc & that's pretty cool, but honestly the most fun you can have is when you've got a large group of people to play adversary modes or other PvP event type modes.


It's a shame the PC LLJK crew doesnt do anything fun together anymore, or really anything together for that matter but there are plenty of large crews that do weekly or monthly events like race meets, car shows, etc.


just pay a modder to give you all the money & play this poo poo casually because if you're already bored it's just gonna get worse

Is there a go to plan if you're pinned down by a sniper in similar circumstances? Beach, coast, desert, hills- anywhere the hunter can get the high ground and pop you as soon as you spawn. Or if you are able to get a tiny bit of cover, as soon as you peek out to try to find them. Often times this is not by a usable road so summoning up the MOC or other car isn't usually handy

Go passive as quickly as you can or go into a job, back out and hopefully respawn somewhere else.

To me, this is about the most frustrating scenario. I'm not a huge FPS/twitchy type player anyway, especially with sniping and trying to pick out targets. Even with the thermal scope and its big orange SHOOT HERE graphics, by the time I get a target identified and lined up, they've had time to eat their lunch, read a book, and still take me out. When this is what the game breaks down to, I'll give it one or two trys before I bail and find an escape route

You use a controller? My aim's pretty poo poo, especially when playing with free aim. I'm slow on the draw when it comes to acquiring targets and by the time I have a shot lined up, I miss and get popped, even when using the mouse to aim.

I usually do better when playing with full or even partial aim assist on. Splash damage from explosives and missile lock-on are my best friends.

How close did we get to the release date of GTA5 before it got delayed, that's my biggest concern at this point. "As a game of this scope needs extraordinary amounts of work to get right, we regret to announce we are moving it to Spring 2019 to ensure the best possible experience."

The big question is the PC release date. When GTA5 came out on consoles I was expecting PC release within a year, but then the new generation of consoles came out and they decided to rerelease on those before a PC release so it was the longest gap between console and PC release of any GTA game. I've heard people talking about a PS5 but I assume that's far enough off that we won't have to worry about it this time? I mean I'm gonna get RDR2 for PS4 anyway, but I'd already like to replay it on PC as soon as possible.

wtf, definitely don't pay modders for cash. why pay 10bux for 10mil or whatever when you can just pay 10bux for your own mod menu and give yourself and others infinite billions?
you're running the same risk of getting banned/reset the only difference is you're being a lickspittle pussy about it and paying some nerd's world of warcraft subscription.

if you get overexcited seeing people spawn in vehicles there's always fivem. even has some fun looking custom modes gta:o lacks...

Risk of receiving mod money != risk of modding

Smart play would be to buy a code for a second account, mod it and dump cash on the first.

Mine did and somehow they hosed up again and gave me about $60m in the process, but the first time I opened a ticket I was basically told to gently caress off, no appeals, the system is flawless, thanks for your 20 years of patronage and buying the game twice, dumbass. I didn't get a response to the second one, but after thousands of people had flooded reddit, user reviews, etc., they quietly reversed the bans and acted like nothing had happened. Billion-dollar QA, folks.
