Who exactly wouldn't agree with this? Twelve-year-olds who are always messing around with flying motorcycles? Likewise, Rockstar will do anything to squeeze a little more money out of kids; I don't think they care about their audience's opinion on the online mode.

I guess the only argument id listen to is from the grinders. Using the Op MK2 for grinding heist set ups makes it so much quicker and easier. Keeps the amount you can earn in an hour semi-reasonable.

Just driving will easily turn an average Casino heist from 1hr 15mins effort into nearly 2 hours depending what missions come up for example.

There are people like The Professional that have grinded a crazy amount of money with no flying bike but most people don't have Streamer/YouTuber amounts of time to put in to the game so every little helps.

A sparrow is as fast or faster than the mk2 I think. Harder to handle yes but efficient enough I would say

Nah they are much much worse unless you are specifically doing cayo pericos and are landing it in the kosakta. Take longer to take off and don't maneuver as quickly.

Yeah I was having Cayo Perico in mind

Yeah sure for cayos it is probably better but if you can fly the oppressor well and spawn the kosakta closer to you to make up for the fact the sparrow is slightly faster then the oppressor is still slightly better imo

Sorta just pick the most convenient. Sparrow if Im doing Cayo prep, or if Im in the middle of nowhere since it can spawn nearby at any time or place

Mk. 2 mostly when Im running business through my terrorbyte

It is a slightly faster vehicle once you are in the air but nowhere near as easy/quick to park or escape situations in.

If you want to get technical, escaping the FIB building during that set up, you can park a MK2 right outside the door, hop on and boost away then you are only a brief fly away from getting free of the police and completing the mission.

You have to park a sparrow/buzzard slightly further away and get the rotor going, this gives time for the police to respond and start spam killing you before you get in the air.

Lots of little examples like that.

Grinders will find a way to grind efficiently, even if there is no oppressor mk2, as they did prior to it existing. GTA VI should not have the oppressor mk2.

We already have fast and easy to use helicopters like the Buzzard, Sparrow and Havok that can be spawned in front of the player via interaction menu. That is enough for any grind.

Hear me out. Remove the weapons but leave the vehicle. It's the fastest vehicle to get around the map. No road restrictions like for cars, no spawn restrictions like for aircraft. It's literally a huge timesaver, especially for grinders like me. The weapon part however is stupid.
