Remove Stratis SWAT Strider

[Treeherder]

Civs don't get MRAPs on Straits so why do cops?

[Albert Chestnut]

I wonder why the government funded police have an APC? Hmmmmmm. Oh yeah... cause people with 7.62mm rifles can shoot them our of cars???

[kryptonthegamer]

I think maybe it could be considered. But really, on Cop I never need a strider to take on Rebels. I think it should be just fine for rebels to fight a strider on startis, without an ifrit.

You haven't seen the bank layout then, let alone do the bank on stratis.

Ok. Certainly havent Seen the bank near the air strip on stratis then. Thanks.

[Sheriff Rick Grimes]

+1 Civilians don't have an MRAP and with the bank layout it's too much of an advantage.

Very constructive.

Seeing the changes in weapon functionality, this is definitely something to consider.

Who the fuck has an MRAP?

The APD have striders, vehicles that are very easy to shoot through... which aren't very resistant to mines or IEDS.

But ya if civs can't pull armored vehicles police shouldn't be able to either.

[Jessie Slaughter]

They are swat striders lol Shoot through them unless your doing it with pistols like a total nub. And they don't last forever they despawn.

-1 Bad idea even from a rebel standpoint. I want them to all roll up and jump out at once, way better then them camping the hills. Just get a vest and blow them up when they come at you, so easy.

Civs can pull 50 cals on stratis. Use it.

[HotWings]

Its actually comical that you are complaining that cops have an APC and rebels don't. Lets flip that and say rebels have 7.62s and cops dont and ban those as well. See how silly that it?

God forbid the cops get an "advantage" if you wanna even call a strider an advantage.

[Chapo]

I just think there's almost no incentive to do a bank on stratis. Why not go do one on Atlis where it's heavily rebel sided.

Keep in mind I haven't done a bank on Stratis as a cop or as a rebel, but just looking at it's location and the hills around it make it look much more difficult than the one on atlis.

[Prestige]

Its funny how you guys complain about that yet, DHM don't even defend the bank. You have so many people that you guys are spread out on the road to the bank, truck shop All over Agia and outside HQ so its hard enough as it is to actually get within 400m of the bank.

SWAT and LT's have 7.62. And yes, with how the bank works on Stratis, it's a HUGE advantage. You can't have a hill where you can snipe from and have armored vehicles that can roll right up to the office building, it's way too easy on cop. Dunno if you play cop on Stratis or not, but every time I play cop it is so easy to stop the bank robberies.

[Treeherder]

I see a haplock incoming.

[Kowalski]

I don't think a ban on police MRAP's should be implemented, but they should only be pulled in a situation where:

1. It's 100% needed (such as being heavily outnumbered and outgunned)

2. It's a plausible solution to the problem. (dealing with terrorism/govt building takeover, not for raiding rebel)

This topic applies exclusively to the SWAT strider on Stratis, not regulations on when police MRAPs can be used.

[Murmurs]

Honestly' date=' the bank on Stratis is exactly how the Bank should be balanced. But that's just my own 2 cents.[/quote']

Bank on Stratis is way better due to terrain and obstacles. Striders are easy to stop anyways. Have 1 member run a suicide vest

[Diizzy]

Why do we not have ifrits on 5.? just saying

Fair enough, I just hate posts that just complain and offer no logic. Thanks for the rational explanation.

[Vanilla Coke]

Easiest solution is to send a majority of your gang up the hill to hold that compound, that way you can have a guy on the roof of the bank, the guy on the roof kills every single cop that gets close, including SWAT in the Strider, close quarters for 1-2 guys on the first floor, also, SWAT in the Strider are fucking useless, they usually just rush the bank and die to the guy on the roof, use a boat and assault from the airfield, as placing a rebel somewhere there will almost guarantee they AFK and go fap, or leave and run to the hill because the guys on the hill are facing a majority of the cops.

[Haych]

Striders window is made out of paper, just 1 tap the driver with a 7.62 everytime he shows hes window to you

[Kowalski]

Right my B, forgot that a strider is based on a scouting vehicle, not an MRAP/MATV

[Mayhem]

From what I'm reading is, you are saying it's not easy enough for you? Then go rob the bank on altis since its difficult for cops there.

[Fluxah]

out of all the prison breaks and banks we have done on 5, striders have never once won the cops the fight, it allows them to get 2/3 cops to the bank doors, but we set up all around the bank rather than inside and take them down pretty quickly.

[Kowalski]

I personally like the strider. When the cops get blasted by robbers, I can hijack it and drive it around...

...and then get splattered on the pavement when it despawns

[Dust Runner]

I mean I don't know, if people are so desperate for an easy way to fight cops go play Altis? Stratis was made almost with some sort of thing called balance... The Altis Bank, Prison and Fed are all rebel sided, and so amazingly so its actually laughable. Come bitch to me when Altis shit gets balanced first because no one can argue the absolute garbage that the bank is for that. I'll enjoy my balanced team objective in the meantime.

[Jonah]

Yeah if civs dont get ifrits cops shouldn't get striders

[BZRK]

great idea 10/10 kappa
