sniper rifle vs convoy

[DG]

i know people love HTI because you can one shot almost everything, but i really hate my teammates one shot the damn convoy truck then all the resources and time wasted. it's really annoying chasing convoy & making plan for 5 minutes (maybe more) and end up with half bonus.

"Blowing up resource truck half off the reward.
5000 resource, if blown up, you only get 2500 resource."

so if you don't like car chasing mess or raining grenade with GL, and if you want to do it only with your gut and sniping skill, here's my solution:

Are you really saying it takes you 5 minutes to plan a take down of the convoys

don't get me wrong, i'm not talking about solo game. yknow there always people who wants to pilot a heli, and they always flying to wrong direction and landing in a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ unidad base or crash it in front of convoy. and then they will start saying 'oh g, let's make plan', then few minutes later we proceed a FUBAR plan and blow up the truck.
so yeah sometimes i get 10 minutes chasing part with some random guys. and you can see how easy could it be done in solo.

simple solution. play with people you know, or people you can trust. Randoms are always going to screw you regardless of weapon balance.

in terms of time efficiency it is far better to blow over multiple convoys quickly for half reward than fewer for full reward. dump a heli a few hundred meters ahead of a convoy, 4 shots with the HTI, grab the flaming wreck and jump over to the next nearest convoy, no planning, no time wasted

[What is your ip]

EMP drone and or flash bangs work gr8 to stop the truck no need to use the HTI sinper.

i think you forgot the time you wasted for running all over the place, and losing patience fast for mindless blowing. it's like the game was playing you.
and if more people knows the drill that would beat your theory. 4 people on 4 convoys, 2 minutes for 50k res, it's not that bad.

1 person can destroy a convoy in under a minute, adding more people doesnt do much to help, with high tier bonuses thats still more than an intact convoy is worth without teir bonus, and with the map filled out its rarely more than a minutes travel to the next, im not hitting convoys for enjoyment, if i have to farm im going to do it as fast and mindlessly as possible so i can get back to playing the game

edit: also helps when you are just out and about and a convoy shows up when you happen to be doing something else, just wasting them as an aside, convoys dont have much replay value, are not fun and should just be taken with as little hassle as managable to my mind

Yeah if by works "gr8" you mean only works 20-30% of the time then sure go ahead and try it, personally and the experience of my other teammates have proven that the EMP against the convoy simply does not work reliably. I have had multiple instances where I EMPed the truck 3 times in a row only to have it continue driving away.

It's far better to just have high vehicle damage skills and just shoot at the truck until the driver bails I've found. That way you can control the amount of damage that the supply truck takes rather then just getting the most powerful rifle in the game and blowing it up automatically.

I hate it because of that OPness. And also for rusty sounds.

This game is already so easy, yet people tend to turn it into a senseless grind even more.

it is not ghost recon, it is generic ubisoft open world shooter number 123456, it doesnt warrent the dignity of treating it any dirrerent to far cry and at least the far cry series is self aware

fast travel, rebel vehicle skill, flying, blowing, flying, tag, map, next... you call this time efficiency?
you're doing this more complicated.
5000 res are not that many around you, easpecially the one you really wanted, sometimes gas, sometimes comms, it won't be that easy to find 'cause mostly there won't be that many convoys with 5000 res that you are looking for. most people won't even up to 2500 or 3500 res, and in your case, what, you're going to half these too? fly some res heli already. so it always took you a minute to locate and get in position. so in fact, not that much mindless and fast you were saying. and in solo you can't fast travel or convoy disappears, but not in coop. so the idea is always play with someone else, adding more people helps a lot.
think if we all know that, and knows how to disable a convoy safely without blowing it up, that 4 players can up to 4 different targets, you get all the res you want for a single weapon or maybe an entire skill tree, just for like 10 or 20 minutes. that's time efficiency thing you were saying, i think.
it just saving much more time for not blowing it.
it's not a fun mission type yes we all know that, thanks, but it's the fastest way to upgrade weapons and lvup skills, everyone gets there for their goal, there's no one hitting convoys for enjoyment unless people doing playthrough or something

This crap always annoys me, "it's not a TRUE (title) because I deem it so". Who are you to say what is and isn't a Ghost Recon game? It's got the Ghost Recon title, it's a Ghost Recon game. You crying because it's different doesn't change the fact that they decided to go a different way with this game (and maybe the franchise) and decided this would be an entry to the Ghost Recon franchise.

its not even the same genre, i could call it mario but that wouldnt make it so, its a name they own and use to boost sales, just like tom clancy's

Wait wut?

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon (2001)
Genre: Tactical Shooter

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands
Genre: Tactical Shooter

So people are classifying this games wrong? Holy mother of god, man, thanks for enlightening all of us blind lambs! Your opinion is all that matters for us, dirty peasants!

[DG]

i just couldn't stop imagine that ubi guy shows up and speak like
hi we redefined this genre 'tactical shooter' to make this franchise even more exciting!
