Police Suggestion Buff the RTU marked bmw 340i

[AcidFerret]

Suggestion Title: Buff the RTU marked bmw 340i
Suggestion Description: At the moment, aside from the acceleration the RTU bmw is pretty much useless, with a top speed around 85~ mph, and with the length of highways in v6 it is basically useless for pursuits if the vehicle is anything better than a lexus. i think the top speed should be around 90-100mph for it to actually be worth while.

Why should this be added?:
- BMW 340i being too slow for pursuits

What negatives could this have?:
- nothing i can think of, if you think of anything lmk

What problem would this suggestion solve?: the RTU bmw being basically useless in v6

 

[Pinklord (Liam O'Shea)]

I don't use the car and I'm not even RTU but my short experience with this car is quite shit. For a RTU car it is so slow, I def think this is needed.

 

[Tarone Idrin (mohammed)]

Ye man i agree for a rtu exclusive car to be that slow is crazy defo not just glazing bro but ye I agree

 

[George Cole]

I do think the 340i is good for V6, especially now, because the map has a lot of sharp turns, crosswalks, and the traffic and pedestrian flow is a lot higher within city limits. We RTU officers, have to take a lot more precautions during the pursuits. The 340i is slower, but has better turning, so it's like a love-hate thing. If you want more speed and less turning, go with the Porsche, if you want more turning and less speed, go with the 340i.

i feel like the handling and its acceleration are its only good features, if you let the car escape on tight turns and theres no other officers available youre losing that car, even the EMS audi rs4 goes faster (90mph)
to clarify, im not asking for it to go like 110 like the porsche, but maybe 95-100

 

[Steve Phromkraft]

lowk gang the porsche sucks for handling imo but the bmw goated w it, as mentioned previously porsche go fast but bmw go further w out crashing. I agree though rtu cars need a few tweaks to match v6, the undercover audi lowk sucks atm cause most cars are faster than it. i'd like to see the porsche's handling be better in the forest area cause atm if u go above like 40mph u lose control frequently and end up crashing, and yh the bmw just needs to go a tad faster to account for the map size

 

[Riggs]

I agree. its practically a charger in BMW body. as a standard traffic officer the only suitable car to use for chase's is the Porsche, would be nice to actually have a use for the BMW

 

[Clarky]

please give this the buff it deserves, just a nicer car to drive and speed in than the porsche just being a handling nightmare sometimes

Generally, unless it’s a hyper car, it can’t go over 100 without upgrades.

This is a big part of what I don’t like about cars in PERP.

Speeds of 100 MPH shouldn’t require a sports car with multiple engine upgrades at the bare minimum.

a BMW 340I goes 150 MPH in real life and here it misses the mark of hitting half of that speed.

I was already denied with such a post years ago i remember however id still like to buff the 340i as it just makes sense.

Losts of police forces use BMW as primary speed enforcement vehicles, the car drives better than the porche, and it would make 999x more sense to have a sedan instead of a massive suv being the "primary, to-go" vehicle as RTU.

The downside is that the BMW is much lighter, and wouldnt pit so good, however its not like RTU officers actually use their cars to do some tactical manuevers anyways.

 

[Policeman]

I usually use the Porsche because of the speed but I did realise that the handling of it is pretty bad. I really dont use the Bmw but it does have better handling but it just lacks its speed.

 

[micbib]

Nerf it and give it Oil leaks and waterpump issues making the car overheat and die

Buff all PD cars. The map is so much bigger and more spread out. If there’s a life alert at Subs, it takes like 5 minutes to get there.

Buff all cars in general

Thats the entire point though, cant wait for 20 cops to respond within 20 seconds when I shoot someone lmao

This -

I agree that the BMW needs a buff, It definitely feels underpowered compared to the Porsche, especially when you factor in how important both speed and handling are with how spread out the new map is. A slight buff to the BMW would make it a more viable option without it being OP. That said, I don't think all PD cars need a buff, If every unit had significantly faster cars, It would start to step on RTU's role, and the balance of divisions would get messy, and if we're realistically speaking, It doesn't take 5 minutes to get from PD to Suburbs in any of the cars.

If a buff was to happen to every car, It would be unrealistic & like Lucius said, It would cause PD to have much faster response times to raids, in which I believe is unnecessary.

 

[MalekIsWeird]

Police SHOULD be a formidable force.

Simply because police cars are faster doesn’t make police able to respond in “20s.”

Any car besides the brute is a moving casket without proper strategy and bringing out the brute takes prepretation.

I assume People want this likely because it’s probably not the most enjoyable experience make a road trip to every single incident just to get kill ejected then the next crown Vic succumbs to the same fate in line and those minutes stack up.

We appreciate the increased scale of the map but, I truly feel like we should leverage that scale towards incentivizing more chases and a better driving experience for everyone; including civilians just in general.

if cars stay as they are all it effectively does is gives raiders an easier time cleaning house then they can pick off cops one by one.

When, it may be better if they instead should be either choosing stealth or acknowledging that going loud means a high likelihood of cutting losses / leaving with partial loot to get away.

after spending some time In-Game with the marked and unmarked BMW i believe BOTH should be buffed (top-speed) Marked for all reasons above, and unmarked for same reasons. the PD should have an UM Pursuit car, and the BMW is the only one that really makes sense there (asside from the mitsubishi lancer if you are 2009 essex police)

Once upon a time the porche was limited ad 130mph. Lets say it did not end well...

Theres the merc speed enforcer, and with great speed comes great responsibility hence its only accessible by SGTs+ (back in the day it was also cpl)

I dont think that the porche should be buffed, but the current state of the BMW just doesnt make any sense at all. Its just useless
