Livingshade Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 Hello everyone, i would like to give my opinion on this matter, and i hope others share this opinion. Why do cops have UAV's/Drones(or whatever u like to call them) this surely makes the gameplay more stale in my opinion, because using camouflage or a good bush won't help you because they have thermal vision, wich only allows for you to hide in buildings, so all cops have to do is sweep all buildings in the area (wich they know u are because it gives them a general direction circle when your wanted) and they have an almost 100% chance of catching u when u hide. Wich in my opinion is very dumb, Shooting and running are fun also, but the options should be shooting,running. hiding. I hope u guys remove them from the game. this thread is probably gonna make some people say : Yeah its realism. But if thats the case, than surely there should be a option for me to get thermal in some way as a rich criminal. I liked the server way more when there was no drones. Post opinions please Link to comment

Norwegianviking Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 I agree that when the drone is used correctly its really OP. Tho I have not used them for a while due to them being buggy as hell Mike Stmria and Olivia like this Link to comment

Leady Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 Drones are vary rarely used for a couple of reasons. 1 its is only available to sgt+. 2. They are not the most stable platform, a lot of the time you put your drone out and it just disappears after giving it a command, or it just flies in circles for no reason. 3. If you are in thick brush/under trees the UAV thermals typically do not pick up your heat signature so it is possible to avoid detection.

Lol a little while back they used to put em over watching the Bank on tanoa before they moved it and I seen one recently watching the prison but I went to donor got a rook came back and shot it down, Also @Livingshade Ghillie suits reduce thermal detection and wearing a stealth balaclava helps because it doesn't pick up on thermal imaging so if you wear those 2 things no drone will see you unless you fire your gun Edited December 10, 2016 by Brendon Smith Link to comment
Tusken Raider Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 Last I heard of one used was mr.cow having it above donor to watch rebels spawn in and he can chase them down before they get a gun. Link to comment
MarchingBands Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 I occasionally deploy drones to check cities and legal areas. Needless to say, they get shot down frequently. Link to comment
Berus Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 i have never seen a drone being used in this server, not one time Link to comment
.Sean Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 @Olivia knows I'm a little star and would never shoot down johnnys drones or run her over ain't that right? Jk I'm gonna VDM all the Lt's I see until they are forced to unblacklist me Olivia and Davis like this Link to comment

Only 200-250 m in the air means that you can't hear them and it's also nearly impossible to see them without using binoculars or a scope. Even with a scope, you'd have to know where to look or you'd be scanning the entire sky for something that's the size of a bit of dust stuck on your computer monitor.

Drones have been available on Asylum for as long as I can remember, so that would be at least 2 years. Higher ups just don't use them often (either because they don't know how to or it's too much time/effort to set them up) and even when we do use them, I'd say about 1 out of every 50 engagements do the rebels even figure out that we were using a drone to begin with if we don't straight up tell them. When used properly, the rebels shouldn't know that we are using it. ; ) Link to comment

James Anderson Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 (edited) Its very rare i see any Sgt's or LT's use drones,Not even during banks or feds,so i do not think they are over powered or a need to remove them,as has been said with a Ghillie Suit on if you lay down in reeds,bushes etc your heat signature is almost impossible to see unless you move. We are the APD,we don't need drones to find you ,Eventually we will get you,its what we do. Edited December 13, 2016 by James.Anderson Link to comment

I have to see if I have that video somewhere... I got a text saying "We found your drone at bank", but I didn't believe you guys. So I look into the drone's camera, look around a couple times and think "Hmm... I can hear an Orca but I can't seem to find where th..." And for a split second I see the Orca flying straight into my face. Then get disconnected from my drone. Flawless timing. Link to comment
