I guess you can outrun a few missiles but the chance of doing so is little because of the handling.

I'm really hoping R* is taking notes here. This would be huge missed potential if they don't give things like the Thruster proper rebalancing like this in the E&E version coming out. If there was one thing R* has always ticked me off about, it's the unnecessary restrictions and nothing to counterbalance the negatives of something. It's either really good or really bad.

Holy cow this looks like so much fun. The rapid twin missiles and drive-by weapons especially push this concept over the edge. Honestly wish R* hired you as the community manager Ghillie. You seem like you're really in tune with what makes a good vehicle design.
The drive-by concept is cool too. You could use your own explosives or guns after you run out of missiles on your Thruster. With a bit of work, it can be pretty dope. I would've loved to see this on the actual online game.
I think all it needs is to be available as a personal vehicle, remote machine gun and stronger armour than the khanjali since it's a heavy tank. Also it could do with some visual customisations
@@damienmcdonald7610 i sometimes forget the khanjali is based off a light tank concept, the PL-01, but if i could turn my rhino (Leopard 2A5) into an M1A2 Abrams i would absolutely pay right up front
If R* let me pick one of Ghillie's rebalances to implement in GTA Online, it would be this one purely for the Driveby Weapons on the Thruster. It would require a new animation but between that and the enhanced tilting, I'd almost say this is a must.
You should rebalance the ruiner 2000 It should reflect it's cost in its abilities. Maybe make it the true "oppressor counter" by simply giving it the ability to not be locked on to by missiles. Such an easy fix
To be honest, l think it's a bit OP the agility/handling of this new Jetpack along with it's missiles, since you can get above someone's head, flick down, shoot and get a kill without that person even to see since there is a cap of where the camera can reach. Also the enemy has to have a really good aim (specially using sniper) to manage to hit you. Of course, l'm not saying regarding combat to other vehicles, in that case it's pretty balanced in my opinion.
Watching all your videos it shows that R* has some kind of standard “de facto” for weaponized vehicles. They all have similar stats except a few OP ones such as the Mk2
Ok, you begin to arouse my curiosity…How you managed to open those game files to modify those xml files? I know it is OpenIV but how exactly, I mean(the location of the archives)?
The Thruster is my favorite vehicle for moving around the city, and island as a whole, but it's a bit slow for those long trips. I love flying the helicopters, and this is like that, but minus the rotor blades, so you can go basically everywhere you fit, which is amazing. A few buffs like this would be great :) Have you thought about making something like a Rebalance mod for GTA Online? I know of HiGPS from Team Fortress 2 works on that for TF2, and it seems great (Not sure if he makes it or just helps out or what, but it's a thing). I'm not a fan of PvP in GTAO, but for those that are, it might be great (unless you're a griefer of course :P).
Ghillie will you ever think about rebalancing the armored kuruma? better armor to protect the user from missles and lower the speed from the armored kuruma vs the regular kuruma? (armored is somehow faster then unarmored) and can take corners easier.
Rhino rebalance next? Overall Better armor, reduce the Shell splash radius and damage but increasing the damage per shot (idk if explained that well,just basically give it some sort of AP Shell and not so HE) And finally,make the machine gun operational but just like a regular mg like the one in the insurgent or menacer, i feel it would be an interesting vehicle with a strong weapon against armored targets but not so effective against targets on foot and thats where the machine gun comes in handy,however since the machine gun is not rc controlled, the gunner is vulnerable
And the ardent too, they should up mg's damage and idk maybe add some kind of water/land only hovercraft mode or ability to place mines And also allow the ardent for racing but remove weapons
@@lightningii7305 clearly you never used the feedback page then, I asked for a revert to the pistol fire rate nerf and the next update it was reverted, so now you can tap R2 to give your pistols a faster fire rate. Then again you probably didn't notice because you're too busy being nihilistic.
One thing the jetpack needed was the gimballed MG that the ultralight has (but enabling the drive-by weapons do the trick). Another alternative would be the explosive MG from the OpMk2. But honestly, this rebalance is not overpowered at all! The worst it could happen would be spamming C4 from the jetpack; that would make it slightly OP. But if it could shoot machineguns like the passenger seat in vans and helicopters, it would be fun! (although because you'd technically can't because you need both hands to control the jetpack, or at least one, would break the immersion)
Oh, I’d use the hell out of this for Grinding! I foolishly try to use the thruster for back and fourth crate runs that have tight spaces where the buzzard can’t sometimes land but with this rebalance it would be so much better!
Looks fun! I honestly thought the “suprise” would be a boost like how the vigilante works. It would boost you up instead of forward so you don’t crash into the ground
I never really used the jetpack but I think this version is way cooler well done. Could you do the valkyrie next? It's an awesome looking helicopter but it's really weak.
Just bought it and ngl i do enjoy it. I was considering the oppressor MK2 but it's a bit overused now and wanted to give the thruster a try. Reminds me of the ending of Kick-Ass 1 too😂
I think at some point I had started watching this. So I like this, mostly on the mobility improvements. The weapons play in to that mobility if you can move and aim, capitalize on it. Gotta say tho, it feels like this thing has an extended hitbox. I've dodged Ruiner missles. Once I dodged 7 mk2 missles but the 8th got me lol. With the mobility like that.. what if the take off boost could be popped at any point or came back slowly while flying? They really need to fix its icon lmao
as for your addition of driveby weapons: with the Toreador and Stromberg, you can use the bumpers to steer underwater in water mode, and use A to fire torpedoes while underwater, and instead of it being underwater vs above water, have the landing gear position be the deciding factor if the bumpers are used for driveby weapons or steering, so for example, driveby weapons are used when landing gear is down, such as would be appropriate for low-altitude flight and protection whilst taking off, and when the landing gear is up, the bumpers are used for steering, and if you want to use driveby weapons, simply put your landing gear down, and use them, but you sacrifice easy steering, and a bit of mobility in the process, which would help with balancing. also, this would be great for use against toreadors and strombergs if they allowed you to use throwables (sticky bombs, proximity mines, etc) while in the jetpack, because sticky bombs can be thrown underwater to be used as depth charges (let them sink and activate explosion at desired depth, great for yacht defense), and so it would be a great counter to the stromberg and toreador. p.s.: i'd love to see you rebalance the pyro, valkyrie, yacht, or aircraft carrier next. also, i'll eplain the aircraft carrier and yacht rebalances next: Aircraft carrrier: i know it is not available in GTA 5 online - yet. see, in the end of the Cayo Perico heist, Pavel will say the voice line "wait a minute, kapitan, there is something fast, in the water, along the surface..... ah, nevermind, it is just a friend of mine", and if you pay attention, the Aircraft carrier model in game is stored in the same area, and can be accessed during the heist setup (i did this once because a business battle was occurring at the time of the setup, and i flew a lazer around the island, i think i recorded a game clip), and so it might be hinting that in Expanded & Enhanced, we'll get to buy Aircraft Carriers because of the enhanced processing capabilities, which would be really great. also, let's be real: why would Pavel's friend just randomly appear if this wasn't an easter egg? hmm? and we all know that rockstar is kinda ridiculous with their secrets and easter eggs (look up the chiliad mystery for examples), and since E&E is coming out November 11th (rockstar newswire post from May 18th 2021), if you rebalance it, and send them the link to your youtube video in the GTA 5 feedback section, then they might actually listen for once, and besides, i think you'd have a field day with all the possibilities that can come from the Aircraft Carrier being a sort of functional asset. Yacht: the yachts are good, but i'd love to see some sort of real benefit to them, so they're not some giant pointless floating platform out at sea, also, in the game in one of the yacht missions, the captain Brendan Darcy mentions papers that state that he and the bartender are legal residents of international waters, so i'd love to see you have your property fees removed or discounted after doing all the missions as another extra bonus, something. these are all a sort of mini rant that you might like Ghillie, just ideas for some content, anyhow, thanks for reading, i guess give my comment a heart if you like, and link your video in a reply or something if you do end up using one of these ideas, thanks in advance. love your videos, and keep up the great work : )
Another fine rebalancing job there Ghillie👍👏 though I also enjoyed that tweet showing your 'overkill' version that looked worse than an Oppressor MkII & Orbital Cannon combined, presenting the Thurster MkII😛😂
The whole point of a jetpack is to be able to walk around with it on and take flight at a moment's notice, as well as allowing you to have one or more hands free while using it. I can't believe they put such little care into the most anticipated vehicle in video game history.
I like the weapon adjustments very much. The missile concept makes the Thruster stand out with a unique type of missile barrage, and it works. The MG's make it high risk, high reward when it comes to taking out ground vehicles, or even ground targets.
I love the handling changes you put in there (though I disagree with not giving it Tracking+... Pandora's Box has been opened, you can't undo that now). I do think if it was given mid-air JATO style recycling like the Starling it would be even more amazing.
@@thee187ross5 95% of the GTAO community doesn’t know shit about armor or anything about the deluxo or jet pack. Sometimes even the Nightshark or MOC cab. I always get angry messages saying I’m in god mode or some shit and it’s so funny because they don’t know about the tricks I’ve been using on them 😂😂
@@i_had_3_pugs yeah all they know is mk2 shoots missles and is so called Op.....I called myself buying the chernobog, ruiner, toreador, all the counters just to piss griefers off XD
The thruster is one of my favourite vehicles and I'm a huge fan of what you did. I was wondering if you will publish your changes as a singleplayer mod and I was also going to ask if you can make a tutorial on how to Programm so people can try out what youre doing for themselves. :)
After owning the jetpack for years I just found out that if you hold L1 R1 together and use your joystick to go forward or in any direction the jetpack strafes
they need to make a setting so that the camera follows the player. When i hold RB/LB on xbox and it turns the thruster around i don't need to see the front of my character. The cameria should always follow the player so when i hold LB/RB on xbox i always see the back of my character.
It would be cool like if the hydra we had a hover mode which would be the current handling and when you press a button it can switch to the handling that you made.
it needs a wind generator, apparently a slight gust of wind is enough to stop people from shooting you. If you played the heist you know what I'm talking about.
Also what would be cool is if when your hovering in place (hold LB and RB at the same time ) it’d be cool if you could still move freely so you can aim your gun better but giving the machine gun a nerf
Yessss. I was so hype for the jetpack, just to receive what he have. I don't think it would be a good idea to have the MGs THAT strong though. You said as much as I would say about it, but I know people..they would get good and abuse it. I'm already pretty decent with the buzzard MGs and so are many pilots. Just lower it to 75% of the buzzards MG power. Still, great video man. I loved everything
I thought R* made new OP vehicles, making old vehicles obsolete so everyone buys the new vehicles. But to be honest after the Oppressor mk2 They just released underpowered dogcrap for 5x its worth and still expect us to buy it.
I feel like mounted mgs and free aim rockets in general need a buff since any vehicle that has one or both are basically useless unless they have something else special such as the night shark speed and armor or althe menacers 360 turret, maybe it could have better dps when you are accurate with them but maybe you just need to somehow add a bit of ease of use since you have to turn the vehicle to use the mounted guns
an option to attach the weapons to the back of the jetpack would be nice and make more sense, so you can dive and fire like a Starling instead of shooting from an awkward standing upright position but but sadly i don't think the existing game files would support something like that
I believe we should actually have a spin off version of these types of videos to explore a "What If..." question. Example: What If....we gave the Pyro explosive rounds?
Just a question, is it possible to remove the camera/vehicle to automatically recenter to horizontal angle ? That's the worst mechanics that prevent any helicopter to aim accurately with machine guns
If the pilot is skilled enough, it could be even more annoying than the oppressor but lets keep it real, about 80% of oppressor griefers are just braindead
Lmao exactly

as for your addition of driveby weapons: with the Toreador and Stromberg, you can use the bumpers to steer underwater in water mode, and use A to fire torpedoes while underwater, and instead of it being underwater vs above water, have the landing gear position be the deciding factor if the bumpers are used for driveby weapons or steering, so for example, driveby weapons are used when landing gear is down, such as would be appropriate for low-altitude flight and protection whilst taking off, and when the landing gear is up, the bumpers are used for steering, and if you want to use driveby weapons, simply put your landing gear down, and use them, but you sacrifice easy steering, and a bit of mobility in the process, which would help with balancing. also, this would be great for use against toreadors and strombergs if they allowed you to use throwables (sticky bombs, proximity mines, etc) while in the jetpack, because sticky bombs can be thrown underwater to be used as depth charges (let them sink and activate explosion at desired depth, great for yacht defense), and so it would be a great counter to the stromberg and toreador.
p.s.: i'd love to see you rebalance the pyro, valkyrie, yacht, or aircraft carrier next. also, i'll eplain the aircraft carrier and yacht rebalances next:
Aircraft carrrier: i know it is not available in GTA 5 online - yet. see, in the end of the Cayo Perico heist, Pavel will say the voice line "wait a minute, kapitan, there is something fast, in the water, along the surface..... ah, nevermind, it is just a friend of mine", and if you pay attention, the Aircraft carrier model in game is stored in the same area, and can be accessed during the heist setup (i did this once because a business battle was occurring at the time of the setup, and i flew a lazer around the island, i think i recorded a game clip), and so it might be hinting that in Expanded & Enhanced, we'll get to buy Aircraft Carriers because of the enhanced processing capabilities, which would be really great. also, let's be real: why would Pavel's friend just randomly appear if this wasn't an easter egg? hmm? and we all know that rockstar is kinda ridiculous with their secrets and easter eggs (look up the chiliad mystery for examples), and since E&E is coming out November 11th (rockstar newswire post from May 18th 2021), if you rebalance it, and send them the link to your youtube video in the GTA 5 feedback section, then they might actually listen for once, and besides, i think you'd have a field day with all the possibilities that can come from the Aircraft Carrier being a sort of functional asset.
Yacht: the yachts are good, but i'd love to see some sort of real benefit to them, so they're not some giant pointless floating platform out at sea, also, in the game in one of the yacht missions, the captain Brendan Darcy mentions papers that state that he and the bartender are legal residents of international waters, so i'd love to see you have your property fees removed or discounted after doing all the missions as another extra bonus, something.
these are all a sort of mini rant that you might like Ghillie, just ideas for some content, anyhow, thanks for reading, i guess give my comment a heart if you like, and link your video in a reply or something if you do end up using one of these ideas, thanks in advance. love your videos, and keep up the great work : )
Another fine rebalancing job there Ghillie👍👏 though I also enjoyed that tweet showing your 'overkill' version that looked worse than an Oppressor MkII & Orbital Cannon combined, presenting the Thurster MkII😛😂
10:44 damn, look at him he control jetpack with one hand while sitting in air, He's a Rambo
Nice pfp

The whole point of a jetpack is to be able to walk around with it on and take flight at a moment's notice, as well as allowing you to have one or more hands free while using it. I can't believe they put such little care into the most anticipated vehicle in video game history.
Ghillie is surgically accurate. Wish I was half that good 😭
For anyone who didn't know. The thrusters missiles can hit targets underwater,unlike the op mk2.
I like the weapon adjustments very much.
The missile concept makes the Thruster stand out with a unique type of missile barrage, and it works.
The MG's make it high risk, high reward when it comes to taking out ground vehicles, or even ground targets.
Cool changes, yet I still use the thruster to troll broomstick boys.
Same, its great at dodging missiles
You can also hit underwater targets too. The missiles don't fizzle out in water unlike the op mk2 ones. lol
Why doesn't rockstar remove auto stabilization? It's the worse for helicopter and the jetpack
I love the handling changes you put in there (though I disagree with not giving it Tracking+... Pandora's Box has been opened, you can't undo that now). I do think if it was given mid-air JATO style recycling like the Starling it would be even more amazing.
i wish there was a option to turn off Auto stabilization completely for any aircraft to allow for more control for advanced pilots
Is the thruster still able to dodge mk2 missiles by going straight?
Yes
Yeah
hell yeah was doing that last night XD and got called a cheater
@@thee187ross5 95% of the GTAO community doesn’t know shit about armor or anything about the deluxo or jet pack. Sometimes even the Nightshark or MOC cab. I always get angry messages saying I’m in god mode or some shit and it’s so funny because they don’t know about the tricks I’ve been using on them 😂😂
@@i_had_3_pugs yeah all they know is mk2 shoots missles and is so called Op.....I called myself buying the chernobog, ruiner, toreador, all the counters just to piss griefers off XD
honestly i always wished the machine guns were free aimed like the one on the Glider aimed with camera instead of locked forward
The thruster is one of my favourite vehicles and I'm a huge fan of what you did. I was wondering if you will publish your changes as a singleplayer mod and I was also going to ask if you can make a tutorial on how to Programm so people can try out what youre doing for themselves. :)
After owning the jetpack for years I just found out that if you hold L1 R1 together and use your joystick to go forward or in any direction the jetpack strafes
You should do an overpowered series like getting the oppressor mk2 and make it so much more powerful than it is
Yes lol
they need to make a setting so that the camera follows the player. When i hold RB/LB on xbox and it turns the thruster around i don't need to see the front of my character. The cameria should always follow the player so when i hold LB/RB on xbox i always see the back of my character.
It would be cool like if the hydra we had a hover mode which would be the current handling and when you press a button it can switch to the handling that you made.
7:39 Oh no, oh no, oh no no no no no🤣🤣🤣
The barrage is the best part. That would be so cool to have on the jetpack. I was thinking 4 missile, but 2 is cool too
it needs a wind generator, apparently a slight gust of wind is enough to stop people from shooting you. If you played the heist you know what I'm talking about.
I think giving the missiles Hunter rockets tracking wouldn't hurt, just a slight tracking buff
Also what would be cool is if when your hovering in place (hold LB and RB at the same time ) it’d be cool if you could still move freely so you can aim your gun better but giving the machine gun a nerf
I love the fact you can be in passive and use this.
7:39 RIP GHILLIEMASTER. HE LITTERALY CUT THE VIDEO SO THAT WE CANNOT SEE HIS FAIL HAHHAHAHAHAHHA
I have been looking forward to this one
Yessss. I was so hype for the jetpack, just to receive what he have. I don't think it would be a good idea to have the MGs THAT strong though. You said as much as I would say about it, but I know people..they would get good and abuse it. I'm already pretty decent with the buzzard MGs and so are many pilots. Just lower it to 75% of the buzzards MG power. Still, great video man. I loved everything
I really love your editing style!
You should do the the lazer, and turn it into a better fighter, or a more realistic f 16
I thought R* made new OP vehicles, making old vehicles obsolete so everyone buys the new vehicles. But to be honest after the Oppressor mk2 They just released underpowered dogcrap for 5x its worth and still expect us to buy it.
Huh never thought about that. Perhaps they actually noticed the negative feedback and are afraid to add more strong vehicles.
I feel like mounted mgs and free aim rockets in general need a buff since any vehicle that has one or both are basically useless unless they have something else special such as the night shark speed and armor or althe menacers 360 turret, maybe it could have better dps when you are accurate with them but maybe you just need to somehow add a bit of ease of use since you have to turn the vehicle to use the mounted guns
I love those missiles! We need that on something in game for sure.
an option to attach the weapons to the back of the jetpack would be nice and make more sense, so you can dive and fire like a Starling instead of shooting from an awkward standing upright position but but sadly i don't think the existing game files would support something like that
I believe we should actually have a spin off version of these types of videos to explore a "What If..." question.
Example: What If....we gave the Pyro explosive rounds?
#rockstargames offer Ghilie 5 figure job already, what we waiting for 🙄🤣
Man, R* only needs to change a few different settings on all the vehicles to make their game 20x better. Why don't they just employ you already
Aah yes my fave series
The jetpack is the best i have used by far and i really like and by this rebalance that will make it better. good video 🙂
Just a question, is it possible to remove the camera/vehicle to automatically recenter to horizontal angle ?
That's the worst mechanics that prevent any helicopter to aim accurately with machine guns
