The RPG is actually fairly accurate, and doesn't have as much random deviation as it did in GTA 4.

They're easy to see and slow, which makes it pretty easy to dodge when you're in something as nimble and quick as a fighter.

Can anyone confirm or deny whether your tires actually affect performance?

Got something like 21 bridge limbos today (Got to the halfway point before). Feel quite satisfied with having 46/50 without looking up where they are...Also got like 10 from going up one damn canal....

However, these last 4 are going to be difficult...

I know for sure that offroad tires affect performance. I used to have them on a Baller, and even though it clearly drove better on dirt, it was slower on regular roads (I think, not sure if I ever confirmed that part). Not sure about the others.

I'm glad they're not; it would be impossible to kill someone in a car without blowing it up, which would increase your Bad Sport thing.

For that reason bulletproof windows would be ridiculous. What I wouldn't mind seeing, however, is bulletresistant windows. Like, maybe the first few bullets just crack the glass before the windows break.

That would be reasonable. They could include that with the armor upgrades at from LS Customs.

Speaking of which, does anybody know what exactly the armor does? Does it just make your car more resistant to damage?

From personal experience, it does seem to make vehicles more resistant to bullet damage, but not as much as it claims to; 100% increase in armour definitely did not double vehicle durability; I'd say more like 40-50%.

It also increases the weight substantially, but R* offsets the added with with some sort of voodoo magic, causing the vehicles to not loose a step.

In shot: not much. There is a little bit of difference between road and offroad in terms of traction on dirt, but they're like every other mod in the game in that they make fuck all in terms of improvements.

I just use the free dune buggy type of car Rockstar gave you for offroad racing...Having won multiple races in that thing, even against a LOT of other racers. Though there was one race full of motorcycles where using that car was a little scary, because the track was SMALL and definitely felt more fitting for motorcycles. But still. Slammed on my breaks for a corner once, and not one, but TWO motorcyclists crashed into my rear and died. Was kinda hilarious. And I still managed to win even with problems because of the track.

What kind of attitude you can have with a big truck is "Everyone else, get the fuck outta my way, I have a big ass pickup truck and I'm not afraid to crush you!"

Speaking of, I remember choosing a race type of using utility vehicles with Ancient Magmia once....

....That was a terrible, terrible idea. Especially since I think Magmia and I picked the worst cars possible....I chose a lawn mower and whatever the hell slow thing Magmia got still completely destroyed me in the race. And take note the race took like 6 to 8 minutes...And it wasn't a lap race.

I used to have the urge to ram into motorcycles, because I do that a lot in GTA. Luckily, my hands never reacted to my thoughts. :p

:rofl: Yeah, that was crazy.

Part of the reason for the length of the race was because I sat and waited for you for a couple minutes. Then I realized that the race would take forever and I kept going. Still took me like five minutes to finish after that though, and I had been driving for like, 3 minutes before I stopped.
