The best strategy to combat criminals driving sport cars is to ride along with other cops so they can try and pop the tires of the fleeing car. If cops were not allowed to use their personal vehicles to pursue criminals, then I would agree with having the LEO division. However, this isn't the case as cops also use high end sport vehicles to pursue criminals like myself. Also being able to freely spawn high end sport pursue cars (infernus, turismo, bullet, etc) seems a bit OP in my opinion. This is because if the pursue car is too damaged or low on fuel, a cop can easily spawn a brand new one while a criminal has no such luxury.
Not every cop had a sports vehicle owned it could take time for them to bought one. Since there was already a suggestion to re-balance the economy which means there's a possibility that the High-end vehicles (Sports vehicle) cost much larger. I think it's a good suggestion for those cops who can't afford a high-sport vehicle.
I agree with Lancerb1. Its very unneccesary.
I am in favour of allowing cops to request a pursuit vehicle through the interaction menu but I don’t think a separate class is needed for this.
The problem is restrictions. If cops can call for a pursuit unit from anywhere why would they ever use normal cop cars again? I don’t want the server to only have cops in black sports cars because it would look silly.
One option could be to charge the cops to request one of these vehicles but people have that much money it doesn’t really matter.
Another option is that it could be time limited. Maybe you can only request a pursuit unit once a day and if it gets destroyed you have to wait 24 hours to call another or something.
Another option is giving pursuit units a disadvantage over normal cop cars. They have a speed advantage but no other disadvantage to balance it out. Perhaps you can’t drop spike strips from them or they don’t shoe crime reports/checkpoints?
As I said I don’t want every cop on the server driving around a black Infernus. It wouldn’t play well. Perhaps the vehicle you request is random so you might get a slower vehicle actually. If there’s a choice why would you not choose the Infernus?
There’s a reason I only added 3 pursuit units to each city (super, sports and bike). It makes them extra special. Surely 3 cops on the server all with high powered vehicles is enough to chase down 3 individual suspects? It’s not like the server has 100 suspects that all need pursuing..
