So the best idea of balancing the bank was to not change the bank at all but to make it so that they cant put money bags in an orca.... The problem was that cops cant get to the roof and when some of these gangs do bank they dont even need to store in their heli when they have 8 guys who all have bergens which would offer 960 storage. The bank is the perfect ambush, one road in, 3 angles to shoot from, tasing them wont do anything when their buddies cover the ladder, and not to mention its far from the nearest HQ. I don't even respond to the banks anymore because the best I can do, as a PO, is try and test my luck to get inside a building and the only way I'm gonna restrain someone is if they aren't covering the ladder and I can somehow manage to taze and restrain everyone on the roof before their buddies on the other 2 buildings gun me down. We need a way to get the guys on the roof, and hoping that a lethal loading officer can snipe them all is just not going to cut it.
When 82% of the bombs (According to Zahzi) blow at bank, which means that the APD only stopped 18% of bombs from blowing, the best way to stop the overpowered bank is not attempting to stop them from flying away in an Orca, its to rethink the design of the bank. Cops, especially PO and Deputy, need a chance in this fight. Give us a way to get on that damn roof.
Big gangs are doing bank now because of a few reasons, its easy, its fast, it requires less planning than a fed, there is less risk, and its easy AF to kill a bunch of cops. Why go to a fed when you can do a bank? Half the time cops don't even respond to it and even if they did there's nothing that they are gonna do about it. At the end of the day, we cannot ignore the conflict of interest. Civ's enjoy doing bank because its an easy way to make cash, and its fun as hell! Getting all those cops to just come down the road one by one like little bowling balls just asking to strike out in the face of your Mk 1. There is an underlying problem with this bank and its not going to go away with this change. I respect everyone's opinion so don't hate me for mine.
