I think it's way better then before, the only that would be a little improvement is maybe somehow prohibit fresh spawns from going instantly to the bank and rob it. So you can make a bit of a progression there. Because right now you can have 0 score, 0 everything, just go to the bank and start cracking it. Afcourse killing the guard first.
The animation changed in this update to balance it, Personally i think a long / short animation doesn't really matter.
It's fine as it is right now, the anim isn't even that bad.
I literally just changed it last update. It was changed for a reason. Bank robbery is the highest payout on the server but there are things which are more difficult than it (I think smuggling can be harder, and also take longer).
