That was a very, very smooth run of Prison Break. Good poo poo, cka. I friended that Aussie we played with since he seems competent and is on at the odd hours we've been active during the week. And I think now I can progress past it, got the finishing-up phone call from Lester.

silent and smooth, just like always... except when the cops aren't blasting my face full of buckshot just cause I punch the cruiser window out :haw:

if Humane Labs happens today, that's going to be quite the adventure for me due to my horrible reliance on assisted aim (especially come time for Deliver EMP since that mission for me is pretty much "headshot my way through the auto-targetted npcs")

Actually managed to do some heists and got pretty far in the prison break setups. Lost steam when someone couldn't steal the cop car. Seriously thats like the easiest part of the setup.

I just want to thank whoever it was in here that constantly posted about the armored Kuruma several pages ago. Buying one has made my GTA Online experience 100% more fun. Most pubbies still don't know how well defended the thing is.

Most pubbies think they are well defended in it. And most of us have no problem destroying them with stickies, rpgs, homing missiles, etc.

Which does cost $6600, though, which some people might care about.

I had a pubbie try to blow me up in mine with a sticky bomb but he ended up blowing up himself and his own vehicle with it instead.

I'm worried about it getting nerfed because between pubbie slaughter and contact missions it's really unbalanced and fun.

It's the money thing. It's not hard to throw a sticky at, it's how much it costs when it's the only way to fight back.
Pubbies will avoid blowing you up if you keep reversing up to them with an Adder/Entity/Zentorno too (They have bullet-prrof backwindows.)

That and I find myself blowing up poo poo and using all my ammo and then not having anything when I really need it.

I got pinned down by the helicopter with the explosive shots and I would've killed it were it not that I used all my ammo blowing up cops from a train.

Then they must be a poor. I might pause at an Adder and now the non-turret Insurgent (12.5k and 16k) but I usually give in to temptation anyway :v:

I usually just put a sticky bomb on my Sultan, chase and slam into the Karuma and detonate. You can still shoot people out of it with a rifle no problem which leads to a lot of pubbie tears and accusations of cheating.

I don't think the Karuma, unlike the tank in the early days which was near impossible to destroy, will be nerfed. (But it wouldn't surprise me if it was at some point) It may be a tougher car, but it is balanced and even Level 1s have the tools to destroy it. Same with the Insurgent; it can withstand a several blasts from an RPGs, Grenades, Stickies, but too easy to shoot the passengers inside with the shotgun or special carbine.

Considering that you can easily solo many of the missions without even leaving your car in it, I don't think it is all that balanced at all.

I've never had a pubbie hesitate to blow me the gently caress up if i was harassing them in a car. more often than not i have people lure me in by acting like they wont blow me up, but then blow me up.

I pulled off the most wicked run through of the prison bus setup mission. I hit that giant lump of dirt and rocks by the satellite dishes on my akuma, did a backflip, and in midair threw a stick and exploded the helicopter.

Should have been more clear, when I say balanced I meant in free roam. As for missions? I do missions without leaving my buzzard, I don't see a difference.

Hey, if any of you have made any non gimmick races, or know of any good ones, you should totally link their Club Rockstar pages. I don't like most of the Rockstar created ones, and doing them usually involves being put into a lobby with other players. It ends up being better to solo race.

I had luck with the Impromptu Race by spamming invites and slow-rolling up to everyone while honking a ton. Armored Karuma mostly kept me safe, probably was less than 15 minutes before someone accepted.

It's easiest to get to them all from the crew page (link shows up under the Snapmatic photos). The link is in the OP (it's very dense so if you missed it no worries. I may do some editing soon to reorganize the OP).

I just don't see an insurgant being quite as fun, but ultimately, I think I would just drive the tank in passive, so I don't have to worry about the bad sport and insurance money, crap, which doesn't sound that fun either.

Maybe I'll save up and get that new super attack heli.

For the insurgent to be fun it's best when you have 3-5 players.

The insurgent is fun simply because it is so heavy, you can just barrel into cars and send them flying everywhere.

But the savage is pretty good too

I'd say yes, it's got the Lazer's nosegun instead of the Buzzard's useless miniguns, so you never really use the lockons because you can just rain rapidfire explosions down on everything with the nosegun :allears:

And if you do use the missiles, it doesn't have the reload time after every second missile, so you can just keep firing them.
