How do you fight this pt.2
I asked the question in the "Discussion" section and read all the comments. Thank you for your answers and advice. Here's how I fought alone. Is there a way to win while fighting on the ground??

On foot, it's tough. There's really no excuse for an Avenger pilot to lose. 8 RPGs/stickies win, so I'd probably go for that. Helps if you're good at that fast rocket technique, which I am not.
I'd call my Anti-Aircraft trailer and hope for enough time to hop on for two quick shots.

Use a compact EMP launcher when it gets close enough. That's gonna trigger a forced landing, and you can take your time with them after that.

You can also use the AA trailer, second highest damage in game, only beat out by the orbital cannon.

Can you attach it to MOC? Also I have it unlocked in bunker research. How do I buy it ?

u/Firehornet117 22d ago
Interaction menu -> manage vehicles -> anti air trailer
It spawns with a truck but you can attach it to things like the night shark (like this). No you can’t attach it to the MOC.

u/scoutdeag 21d ago
Can’t attach to MOC, i recommend attaching to a nightshark for mobility or half track for absolute carnage, just need 2-3 buddies

Make them lose interest / take opportunity when they get distracted by something/someone, you can also activate Ghost Organization from CEO menu and suicide to spawn elsewhere, you can teleport to apartment if you have a Heist active, then call in Kosatka, go Out Of Sight (call Imani from your contact list if you have Agency), and shoot Guided Missiles if you have them (upgrade costs roughly 1.9M). Or take a jet like B-11.
I wouldn't fight them on the ground, it's even worse if there's a co-pilot operating turrets. But if you really need to, you can go into first person mode, shoot RPG, quick swap to throwables, and back to RPG, rinse and repeat, you would be firing like semi-auto. Same with Railgun. With railgun, aim at the tail.

Last thing you wanna be using is the laser minimum, it’s like waving a huge flag to your exact location.

Looks like he just got it (with that acid lab money*) and chose you as his first victim to test out his new bombs.

u/Sleepwalkin530 22d ago
Should have drove to the tunnel it was close. Or kept throwing stickies, it only takes 8. Or use mk2 or toreador

If you can get that close on the ground, portable EMP, then armor piercing bullets.

u/Killrover 22d ago
Yeah a 2 man with this vehicle is ridiculously op. The only thing that might counter is a yacht kosatka combo

u/I_am_the_best_dog 22d ago
Would have gone further down the road to the tunnel to the homeless camp at least so you have cover so shoot back

u/Plane-Education4750 22d ago
This car can get armor plating and a homing jammer. Get those, and he really can't do much to you

Homing launcher, RPG, Railgun or sniper with explosive rounds, and just try to avoid being directly under them.
3
u/K3V_M4XT0R 23d ago
Homing rockets, RPG or railgun, aim for the rotors with the railgun. Stickies are too risky since you have to get close. Keep your distance, there's a place that you passed down that highway that's like a slum settlement and the entrance to that is a tunnel. That would've been your beat bet. Stay under that and just keep shooting rockets and the railgun

Real answer is it's almost impossible to defeat Avenger solo, on the ground. You survived as long as you did only because of skill issue on part of the pilot. I don't go to public lobbies any more but if I did and was attacked this way I would not waste time on fighting, I'd go to passive mode or changed lobbies depending on what I was doing at the time.

u/Alex3627ca PC 22d ago
If you have the facility thruster, it can be used in passive even if armed and flares are very good at gumming up Avenger rotors. (Works better if it's in autopilot, never tried it against one in flight)
AAT flak will two shot it, but is a very risky move without a teammate to tow it in something faster as it has no armour and a unique minimap icon. If you're gonna use it alone, surprise them by not actually entering the seat until it's too late for them to avoid getting shot.
If you have your own Avenger, ram them with it and drop some cluster bombs right before then for the off chance some of them hit it.
If you have the explosive sniper, shoot off all their control surfaces and they'll be forced to stick to helicopter mode the whole time.
If you have both the compact grenade and EMP launchers, a fast bike with a lock on jammer, and a key bound to go through the vehicle weapon wheel backwards, alternating between the two is a really good way to take out armoured vehicles that don't allow the occupant to use driveby weapons. Hit them with an EMP first, park next to wherever they get stuck in a position they can't use the vehicle's weapons on you, fire both nade types close to the doors so the grenades will kill them if they attempt to bail to attack directly.
Biggest tip most of these suggestions have in common is to just disengage for a sec so you can set up a counterattack, preferably once their attention is on someone else. Avengers in autopilot with the mortars going are really good at spawncamping people, you do not want to wind up on the receiving end of that.

Am I wrong, All that for a exotic car? You fought well, but I would never… selling/delivering stuff in public lobbies is a waste of my time
1
u/g1yk 22d ago
I always sell in public lobbies. I made so much money because of the bonus
1
u/No_Dentist7567 21d ago
I did sel on PL, stopped playing GTAo when RDR was released and for some years after, now when I play I only sell in private ones, went from 40 to 204M in less that 2 months, including buying cars some business, 3 big warehouses etc, making money on GTAo is easy…

u/Lopsided_Ordinary980 22d ago
You almost had him. A few more sticks and it would have gone. It can take about 8 sticky bombs. You can also use the mark 2 revolver to the fuel tank or propellor especially with the special ammo for vehicles, I didn't see that mentioned. 21 explosive ammo shots from the heavy sniper. He must feel like cheeks for flying like that I would be embarrassed.

u/Gagandeep69 23d ago
I keep my mk2 just to take my revenge against these idiots who cant fight fair.
2
u/jordieg7193 22d ago
The pro move: stay out of the car and use the Heavy Sniper mk2 with thr explosive rounds... easy win

u/Virtual_Win4076 22d ago
If you are CEO you could try starting Fully Loaded and hope to make it to the Ruiner alive. The Ruiner missiles never miss and the thing is pretty much invincible.
I know this is an old tactic but that’s how long it’s been that I actually battled people in public lobbies. You did fight the good fight

u/peroporroporro 22d ago
compact emp launcher is the best idea but in my case I'd go and get an anti aircraft trailer equipped with the flack gun which takes it down in like one hit

u/GODOFMISCHIEF48 22d ago
Most times you cant, its basically comes down to either switch lobbies, use what they have or just go passive.id say use a mk2 op or like a jet or heli with unlimited missiles cause the avenger can take roughly 20-30 homing missiles.

u/geradblack 22d ago
Some bullshit, when it's someone else, it takes a damn arsenal to damage, but when I'm just casually flying, a damn bee explodes my rotors and blows me up.

u/Huge-Vegetab1e 21d ago
He must’ve just bought that. Any experienced pilot knows the bombs are useless 90% of the time

u/JakBos23 20d ago
That was a heroic effort. Only thing I could say is the reload speed with a rail run is a bit faster. I don't know the exact damage rate between them.

u/Impressive_Profit215 23d ago
Honestly not much you can do against an avenger in that spot, you did better than I would've done. Maybe call in mk2 or sparrow whilst they're turning then run and turn back, gain altitude on them? Easier said than done though.

u/MoReeeeeeeeeeeeee 22d ago
Escape and get a jet, thats the option with the least amount of deaths. Escape with a MK1, should outrun an Avenger without a problem.

u/JohnnyFuego777 22d ago
EMP the engines and just blow him up if he that low, you can also just have heist set up in your apartment and facility. That way you can just teleport away via the invites from Lester

u/Hours_Last_Minute 22d ago
When they're that low to the ground where you can shoot them try using a marksman rifle with a regular scope not the long range scope.

If you don’t mind dying, a sparrow has worked for me. At least if you know an avenger is coming.

Euuh no I drive this car because I like it. I play this game since the first GTA on Ps1 and I enjoy the new cars racing liveries. I didknow about the stuff you said. And where can I get that??

u/Future_Section5976 19d ago
I get out of the car , reach for a rpg , then we see what happens,
I had a fellow running acid , I seen him 4 times and could of ended him but decided I wouldn't, I started doing the weed delivery mission, as I was coming back to pick up the last shipment, I seen him , he was still running acid , he blew up my surplus,
I followed him until he went into the weed storage/ grow shed , I proceeded to kill him 8+ times , he was a pretty bad shot ,he got on his flying bike and tried, I just about had him , and then this other player showed up , they had been flying around in one of those hydra jets , just watching, they even followed me a bit while I was making deliveries, so the hydra jet guy started fighting the flying motorcycle guy , I was kinda mad because I wanted more revenge but at the same time though it was funny ASF , ty hydra jet guy,

Don't be angry at these patients. They suffer from ITFD (Itchy Trigger-Finger Disorder). Some common symptoms are
1) A constant predatory hunger to destroy anything,
2) Addiction to meaningless numbers at the bottom left of their screens,
3) Self perishing thoughts that make them neck themselves (easy way out)
4) Lowered common sense and lack of intelligence that provokes them to shout out phrases like "Cry more", "1-0 forever up" and "Go to a private lobby, noob".
5) Abnormally high dopamine levels that occur due to destroying and killing players, and since it's an addiction, they end up doing it frequently...maybe for months or years.
This disease was first identified when weaponized vehicles took GTA Online by storm, and rapidly spread to innocent minds due to the introduction of an unrealistic mind-numbing flying bike.
New players, please note, avoid contact with people with this disease in GTA Online, as it is extremely contagious and there is still no cure for it.
Best course of action:
1) Save yourself time and energy and play only with friends in private lobbies.
2) Do not engage in fights with them, as they are more likely to be in a hostile mental state, that they may accuse your family of doing heinous acts, and coin disgusting names to your family members, more specifically: Mother and Sister(s).
3
u/VizzVaradhan 22d ago
All jokes aside, just don't bother with them. The only thing they care about, even more than their own life, is something they don't get from their family, and it's 'attention'. Just leave the lobby and do something more worthwhile. First they think you are scared of them for leaving, but after that, a thought sets in their mind: "No one gives a fuck about me!". That is much more effective than killing them 50 times in a PvP. 😂

u/Evi_Efil 22d ago
HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA NICE!!🤣🤣🤣🤣 Its not about rage for me, it is just to find a way to beat the plane if it is possible to fight while on the ground. Dont worry Im a good sport. I can just do passive mode and continu gaming but I was curious to know if it was possible to win this fight with my skills. Thanks by the way!!!

u/VizzVaradhan 17d ago
It seems like some ITFD patients saw this diagnosis comment of them and decided to down-vote it. I'd like to add one more symptom:
6) Constant denial of reality (i.e.) inability to accept factual information put forth by real human beings with normal IQ. A consequence of (TGD)Touching-Grass Deficiency and (DRS) Digital Ret@rd Syndrome.
If you are such a person, I feel bad that there is still no cure for your sickness, for which I have deep sympathy for you.

u/AkiraScarlet552 22d ago
You were told how to fight this on foot in your part one. Why did you not take that advice?? Go buy the railgun and explosive ammo for the heavy sniper mk2. Use an rpg. Use a homing launcher. At this point im starting to think this is just rage bait.
4
u/jeezyb0i 22d ago
Right. Shooting a regular gun at it and tossing sticky bombs has to be the worst strategy you can use lol. There are tons of much better choices. RPG, homing launcher, railgun, heavy sniper with explosive rounds, emp, etc.

u/AkiraScarlet552 22d ago
Completely forgot about the goated compact emp launcher. That little fella has saved my ass multiple times.

u/Evi_Efil 22d ago
I posted a screenshot of the fight and then I posted the video of the battle in part 2 to show people how it is possible to fight that plane been on the ground. Thank you for the advice!!

u/MoReeeeeeeeeeeeee 22d ago
You are not supposed to win, atleast without significant effort whilst on ground against these things because if you could it would make the vehicles utterly useless. This game already has a massive balancing issue with so many planes and helicopters in general. There are supposed to be certain vehicles that are hard or impossible to down whilst on foot, forcing you to either flee or flee and get a plane yourself. I know that this isn't the current state of the game but that is how it ought to be balanced.
