Shooting from jetpack = Driveby as driver?

[CharlieKasper]

Killing someone using jetpack is easy, sir.

[Exterminator]

They can escape while on Jetpack because Jetpack is not a vehicle.
Cops can get a Jetpack too, use them to catch criminals. It's not like they are restricted.

One could also just take a Heli, fly to a building, exit the aircraft and wait there.
And of course if by any chance cops get on that building they could fly away.
Besides, it's not like you cops are supposed to succeed in catching criminals every single time...

Cops can get a jetpack too, but its not so easy to chase jetpack with jetpack.
Heli, the jetpack player can just pass through a object cops cant pass through

And we arent supposed to, but criminals arent supposed to get unfair advantages either..

That's not the criminals problem, it's the cop's problem that he/she is not skillful enough to take down fire with fire.

but criminals arent supposed to get unfair advantages either..

It's not unfair, as the so called "advantage" is available both for cops and criminals.

[Aragorn]

If usage of jetpack does not have auto-aim and if there is no health-lose glitch (jetpacker can be shot down) then there is no problems in using it.

Depends... If he came to Los Santos and all what cops can do - to wait him down on the streets (you cannot shoot jetpacker from helicopter so heli is useless) or to drive to the zone 69 to get the other jetpack... For that time criminal will lose his wanted level...

@Aragorn: You can take a dodo from LSAP and go drive by on the jetpacker..

[Exterminator]

Its hard to hit a jetpack, so yes it has an unfair advantage...

[Pandalink]

And we arent supposed to, but criminals arent supposed to get unfair advantages either..

As every cop puts it when they run out of logical arguments in a discussion against a criminal: "This is not a TDM server, it is not meant to be equal".

Besides, it is fairly simple to chase a suspect in a jetpack with another jetpack. I've done it before, and killed him after an epic chase through the skies of Los Santos.

Its hard to hit a jetpack, so yes it has an unfair advantage...

And?
It's "hard" to escape a bloody hydra.
It's "hard" to escape when a cop is uses driver driveby.

If usage of jetpack does not have auto-aim and if there is no health-lose glitch (jetpacker can be shot down) then there is no problems in using it.

Indeed. The jetpack has no autoaim (it has the same aiming system as on foot, but only allows one-handed weapons) and the person can be shot as normal and will take normal damage.

Also as someone mentioned, cops can either ram them with a plane or use the dodo/beagle to have a passenger driveby them.
... fuck man, somebody has gotta try that. I wanna see a jetpack-wearing suspect dive aboard the wings of a beagle and have an epic gunfight in the sky.

Then theoretically the unfair advantage would be the lack of your shooting skill.
If both "parties" can get it, both can shoot it, and both can kill it - It's not unfair.
HOW you want to kill it may depend on the outcome however.

It takes only a couple of minutes to get it, unless the criminal has 5 minutes /rhl the cop would make it. Besides, you forget the most important thing of cop duty - Teamwork. Have one unit follow the Jetpack in a cruiser, a car is much faster than it. As long as a cop is in-range it will not escape. Then use necessary force, may it be SWAT team or 6 cops in a Jetpack.

hard to escape the hydra?Well we only use it when its hard for us to catch you, you try to get a advantage we get a bigger one on your ass..
Well if your so good about the jetpack, how about a special artillery at area 51 which can shoot down jetpacks for cops?Shouldnt be so hard to escape flying auto aim rockets..

[Comrade]

Sure, why not.
Also how about each time a cop enters a PD he gets 3 seconds before he gets killed by script?
Shouldn't be so hard to have 3 seconds to re-fill on your free ammo, right?

Your arguements sir, they are poor. Face it, Panda basically owned you.

Anyways, RON did give you the answer of your question, right?

I was going to post a longer reply but I'm not even going to dignify that frankly laughable post with a thought out response.

Maybe you should stop expecting easymode and actually get good at this game.

It's okay to lock the topic now. Thanks for your answers.
