A vehicle that you spend millions on that can hardly do anything and can only land in certain locations is now illegal? WOW makes a LOT of sense. It doesn't even impact cops.

The jet can scout the map at supersonic speeds, the jet is armed (has weapons visible so it already met the definition of an illegal vehicle), and is not possible to deal with a jet as a cop unless it is stationary.

Making the jet illegal is dumb lol very few people use them even less now becuse of your retarded change

Park your car infront of it.

Yes it can scout the map at supersonic speed. Yes it has visible guns, but cannot be used. It is hardly ever even used against the APD either.

idk just braindead making it illegal even tho it really doesn't impact you that much

[Millennium 5800]

you spend millions of dollars on buying a jet. you can only land it at like 5 locations. Not to mention that usually people spend millions of dollars on insurance for it for the sole purpose of it can blow up easily while landing it

[Bloodmoon 2222]

Again, only possible when it's stationary which is the only time apd can do anything about a jet.

Nowhere in the handbook does it state that an armed vehicle must have its weapons usable

A vehicle that practically has no counter against cops is not healthy for the server.

Stfu lmao nobody uses them show one time someone has used a jet to stop you from winning a fight on wait you don't have any

Actually, I'd say the majority of the server has no counter to it. It can outrun titans and it's glass doesn't break.

It's not about stopping me from winning. The jet is a military armed vehicle that can scout the map at supersonic speeds with like a 5x camera, why would the apd allow this kind of technology to be used against civilians?

so are medic Ghawks illegal now? Just because it has a visible gun that can't even be used mean that it should be illegal that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard.

Civs hardly have a counter against it as well. It goes over 1600 km/h. you don't see us complaining about it. They are more effective on catching people do runs but is hardly used b/c of the price of it.

it's glass does not break lmfao you can break that with 6.5 easily

5 locations haha are you fucking nuts it can be landed in so many locations

Most people can't land jets in fields whilst there are chicken fences, stone walls, etc.

Most land them at airfields, salt flats, and the aircraft carrier. Thats it. No one is gonna land a jet in the field either way once they are done having fun flying around in it they are going to want to store it. They also drain fuel pretty quickly if I recall correctly

Medic Ghosthawk is not illegal for the same reason the medic strider and hunter is not illegal.

Civs not being able to defend themselves against a military vehicle is just another reason they should be illegal?

Doesn't have to impact cops for it to be a good change for the *server*.

Jets don't necessarily help win fights, but they ruin runs for everyone (including new players) considering it can scout the map at insane speeds.

Yeah, idk man, definitely seen jets driving down the MSR in Kavala and shit but okay lol.

I'm excited for this event.

They can't fit in Kavala with the wingspan of the jet.

That person that drives a jet down MSR is @Noble lol not hard to rip him with a mk1 or typ115

There is no decision here, this is just a clarification. Jets that have visible weapons showing have always met the definition of an armed vehicle.
