cops on duty cars

[hAWK.]

Unfortunately GTA IV Police Cruiser is a total shit, without excuse. It has miserable acceleration, poor brakes, awful handling which makes it unsuitable for chases. Note that more then 90% of the crimes are related with long and exhausting chases. We haven't tested the Police Patrol yet but I doubt it'll be better.

In single player i use the police patrol..it has slightly different acceleration, brakes, and a bit more handling...i say switch the cop cars for temp. and see what they are like...maybe test them out for a month or so..then if we dont like it switch it back.. (:

Regardless it's still a RP server. You have to deal with what you are dealt and try to work with it the best you can. If speed is an issue, you could create a high-speed pursuit unit, but don't forget that normal cops should still be driving normal PD cars

I would actually agree with I BEG YOU TO PUT both police models being put in the game (the "Impala" and the "Ford Crown" models).

I will agree. It would be nice to have both. The stations need better parking though because currently with so few patrol cars already cramping the few places to park, I don't see how they can add any more!

There's a few more spots at the FIAP-PD, then there's the "unmarked PD". Could fit two or three more cars in the alley behind (like in SP). The one in Hove Beach also could fit one more, in the alley next to the PD and the one in Dukes could fit one more, I guess.

Maybe add some more at the PD with the helipad in Alqonquin? It has plenty of space.

Oh ya, if you move things around there's plenty of room, but I'm saying with the way things are currently set up.
I'm sure FBI could use more vehicles too. 4-5 isn't much at all, so they must be suffering just as bad as LCPD is.

I've seen three agents online samultaniously max. Most of them use their own cars (such as Comets), so I guess one more vehicle would do the trick for now.

I see no reason not to add at least 3 cop cars to each of the PDs (even the ones on other islands). And if they were the Police2 or whatever its called, it would add some variety 

[Void]

It would be morally wrong to script-wise restrict them from civilian vehicles, wouldn't it?
But the LCPD strongly advises the usage of patrol cruisers only. More of them will be added in the future version.

Take time to explain an officer to use only the patrol car.
Thanks.

Yupp.

More of the ones we already have of more of the ones we don't already have?

Lets not start the "you can not fart unless you type /me had beans" shit on IV:MP...

Cops should try to act as cops which means they will by nature of their role drive a cop car. If their car gets damaged, should they take a bus back to the PD to get another one and let the cirminals run ? No way. In pursuit cops can change to any car they find, the faster the better...

And BTW... if its not there put the Enforcer in. It is fast and strong so really useful to block oncoming traffic...

[RaFu]

The problem is that for now, many freecops just don't care when we ask them to drive a patrol car as a normal patrol vehicle. I'm not even talking about what happens during a chase, but with regular patrols too. Example :



My understanding of this particular situation ? This guy wants to speed, but he's affraid of being suspected. So he goes on duty with his own car, in order to speed "legally".
This shouldn't be allowed, in my opinion.

Nobody is allowed to go over speed limits...its a breaking law....you should advise them to not do it but if they continue contact high ranked of LCPD, FBI.....to take care of those guys...
