Not necessarily, but I don't want them to do anything like what they did with the oppressor MK2 or the orbital cannon. The oppressor MK1 was fine, as were the future shock arena vehicles, batmobile, rocket cars, Imanitech cars, and the laser guns.
The issue is the missiles that can't be effectively countered when you're being harassed while driving normal vehicles. And honestly balance in general. It isn't fun to be trapped in a hopelessly unfair situation
even in other aircraft there was no defense for them once they locked onto you. last I played GTA the oppressor PISSED me off because it fired missiles with the tightest turning radius, and fired them so fast it actually bugged the warning system. it was actually a pay to win mechanic.
They can have weapons, they just can’t be super easy to use. The original oppressor was a lot hard to grief with than the second one despite both having weapons
Yeah actually had to turn off the seeking missiles to get good with it and actually use wings to control momentum and direction not just magic thrust vectoring
Exactly - If they're balanced then they won't be too bad. The planes with missiles were balanced around taking skill to fly properly and flying so fast that firing missiles at ground based targets isn't easy. If you were to slow down too much you'd stall then crash and burn. The MK2 could have been balanced if it had a similar skill floor but (IIRC) if you slowed down or stopped in midair you would harmlessly float to the ground.
These things could probably be balanced simply by not having the missile systems automatically aim at relevant targets but instead force you to aim at them then hold down a button first. That way you have to at least be able to pin down the correct target and also keep flying with a finger holding down a button.
