Let’s talk about the APD.
Recently there have been a huge influx of posts that all usually center around an APD nerf. A lot of these posts are bots with 20 hours played but still a lot of the community isn’t happy with the state of the APD. I know this server doesn’t care about rebel life and prefers cops and vigis. And I know my opinion won’t matter because fuck the rebels but still, Ill try. Keep in mind I DONT THINK THE APD IS OVERPOWERED OR SHOULD BE REMOVED OR SOME BS LIKE THAT, THEY JUST NEED A REWORK. Now let’s begin
First for federal events, balance ghosthawks.
During my first week in Tree I did a Jailbreak. We killed off 3 waves of deputies and PO’s and out of nowhere a sergeant gets online and we get ghosthawked. For a server that wants to “simulate the real size of a police force” that is outright stupid. If I kill around 9 rookies and normal officers in real life, no one is going to bring out an armed and armored helicopter to kill me and my group of 6. Instead of allowing ghosthawks to be pulled like that, make it so there’s a minimum amount of waves before it can be pulled or a minimum amount of people or something.
2nd restraining officers.
This is brief. After I tase anyone I can restrain them. Why isn’t this the same with cops? You may argue “but RDM vigis can restrain them!”. Well, vigis can RDM civs and take their weapons which cost infinitely more than a cops load out EVER will. So I think if I tase a cop I should be able to restrain him. And with 3 to 1 I think that it’s stupid that I can’t restrain the officer. Not getting into that though.
3rd the taser script.
Now we all can agree, the taser script is completely broken. Cops have full auto tasers that full on 2 tap me in full rebel, level 4 gear. I think the taser script just needs to be worked on and balanced out. Mcdili stated it was broken a long time ago. Maybe instead of making false promises and adding useless shit like fucking underglow you should fix your game.
tldr; I don’t think the APD is overpowered. However the APD seriously flawed and needs work.
