TO-199 Neophron

[Ryan]

I have been very excited to hear about this jet being brought into Altis Life. Now, I know what I'm about to ask may seem a little absurd. But, will this jet have any armament in our server? Or just a weaponless flying object. Just as boring as a bird basically. Now I understand that in the wrong hands this plane could pretty much wreak havoc on the server however that's why it's so expensive right? Because, in the right hands this could bring many awesome moments and role play. 

Imagine it, a gang battle or even multiple gangs fighting in a small are then one side decides to retreat and calls in "Broken arrow!". Oh hehe, I'm tingling whilst I'm writing this . That would be so awesome to have jets called in to resolve a gang war on a battleifield. Or if your enemies decide to retreat in a vehicle convoy you could call in your best pilot to drop laser guided bombs on them. This seems very exciting especially for turf wars that could escalate in a smaller redzone when the police counter-attack. 

OK, so if they don't have any weapons and it's purely a statement vehicle the "hey, yo poor losers in your off-roads and hatchbacks down there! Look how rich I am!" kind. Then I could understand that but it would be a waste of time in buying one. Seeing you could fly from one end of the island to the other in 2 mins tops, purely having it for flying would quickly get boring. If it had some tactical importance so much more fun gameplay could be brought into Altis Life. However if it was to be armed you must have admin permission to use it's weapons on the west side. Redzone could be free fire like it is now.

Would love some feedback or other ideas and possibly the admins position on this? 

Thanks.

YOU MUST WATCH THIS TO GET AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT I MEAN, SKIP TO 56 SECONDS IF YOU'RE IMPATIENT: 


ps. (still excited)

If weapons were ever considered for this aircraft, which I really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really doubt,it would probably be the 40mm cannon(s) due to the sheer fact it(they) are not guided and does not have the blast radius of every other armament attached to it and you need to properly know how to fly in order to effectively use it. Then there is cannon spamming,which while scary and highly ineffective would probably lead to it's gun being emptied due to complaints and therefore becoming unarmed.

I can tell you now, when the jet comes it will be modified to be a civilian aircraft only (retired war jet)

Therefore all the missiles and cannons will be disabled.

Wait.. that means...

no napalm strikes in Kavala..

If only there was a dislike button on comments . Oh well, I was so excited that something really bad ass would be coming in to altis life to give more life and enjoyment to gang wars and rebel vs police confrontations. But if so Wilco, why say in another thread that there will be very strict rules? If it has no weapons why have strict rules on a harmless flying object? Also, seeing as you can fly across Altis in no time what is the point of this jet unarmed? Now ok you'll probably say, to show off your vast wealth to other players. But come on a jet which can go what is it like 800+km/hr who on Altis is going to see that and give a crap. I just want it to have a purpose instead of just being a statement vehicle. You'd if spent 7.5 mil or 14.5 mil depending on whether you're a donator for a plane without purpose and you'd get bored of in 15 minutes and be like, "oh i just wasted a sh*t ton of money on a worthless vehicle. I'd be a better help to my gang and friends on the ground naked with a starter pistol!"

Since we don't have armed vehicles besides the armed offroad which makes you extremely vulnerable if you're in the gunner spot and is rent only, it's not like they'll give us armed jets.
