As Scottish mentioned, we did rob the treasury on Tanoa last night. (Police holiday is pretty fun)
And as mentioned there are currently some issues to mention. Here is my feedback from this experience.
First to note we had 8 guys as the heist team, and the vehicle of choice for this operation was a helicopter.
We flew in and landed inside the compound, all jumping out from the helicopter but the pilot. Our pilot then flew up around 150-200m to keep an eye out for police attending. By this time we had moved to the vault buildings to find the vault. Firstly to point out here all the doors on both building were not locked and opening them, entering the building and planting a blasting charge on the vault took around 45 seconds.
We then started fanning out to cover the compound. And found only 2 entrances, 1 hole in the wall at the West side and the main gates at the east (we did check for more but didn't notice any) This is a little bit unfair for the police to try and enter the compound, as these 2 entrances create bottlenecks. The only vantage point to the compound visible was slightly raised hilltop to the North East. This from what i have seen would be the only external vantage point.
Anyway, we saw 1 police vehicle moving towards us from the prison. This was a single officer who took cover in some bushes as there wasn't any backup on scene as we had planted a charge within 45 seconds of landing. So in under 6 minutes we had the vault open and were able to start taking gold bars.
I believe there was a total of 26 gold bars in the vault, and we managed to take 2 each, leaving behind 10. Myself and the guys involved felt that the gold bar amount in the vault, and the weights are pretty spot on. The value they sell for is fair also. (Its not too little nor to high)
We then all climbed into the chopper and flew off into the night. Headed for the gold seller on the Tobacco drying island. (We chose this one as it was the furthest away. However while doing so it became apparent that the police would have little to no chance in getting close to us in time, let alone stopping us from selling)
We then banked our cash and disappeared.
So as fun as this was, we all talked about the ease of the operation and unlike the first Treasury robbers we would provide much needed feedback. I recorded the whole thing (12 mins long) for you too take a peek at
@TinyBigJacko(hopefully this provides further insight. I will PM this to you)
Feedback and Suggestions
- The entire operation, from landing to selling was less than 15 mins. This was extremely fast and encourages no RP in the current build.
- Doors to the vault buildings could do with being locked like Altis, this in return would slow down the entrance of rebels. (Bolt cutters were not needed at this current attempt)
- The entrances to the vault make it extremely hard for the police to get in the compound
- Given the condition of the roads in Tanoa, lots of the police on patrol at this time had not much chance of getting anywhere close to Vault/Treasury.
- With no NPAS currently the police were fairly helpless to track, follow or engage
- The blasting charge timer DESPERATELY needs to be increased. To a minimum of at least 8-10 mins to allow police to get there.
- Bolt Cutters could have a limited use amount. Say 3 times ?
- The gold buyer on the south western Island is extremely inaccessible for the police. The only way for them to currently get here is via boat. (boats aren't all that quick vs helicopters) maybe Police could get a FAST boat that is capable of maybe 200 km/ph
- Boats could do with lights
Anything i missed here guys
@blaze1981@Khandamirplease mention it.
hope this helps
