Oh dear God... Someone shoot me, please Sadly I am on PS4 otherwise I would happily oblige. I must admit after the frustrations with the biker business yesterday evening I'm tempted to do some crate runs myself this week, I keep meaning to fill up the warehouses.

Hahahahaha I want to take advantage of the 25% increase, I really do, but I'm feeling burnt out from crate work

That is understandable. There is a lot of work to do since we are no longer the newbie criminals we once were in the early days of Los Santos.
I'll see what awaits me tonight when I get home from work in about 1 hours time.

I have grinded CEO work over the last month doing the 2-Large warehouses technique to get that gold statue & although its very profitable I don't have the heart to do it anytime soon. The current event would net me $550,000 bonus per large warehouse, but I just can't.

Houston, we got a problem ...
Enemy Valkyries (NPC) can now use their main cannon against players.
If you are doing a sale involving the Cuban800\Titan & doing multiple drops ... Its best to scout the drop locations first.

I think I read about this on the other forum. Haven't tried to sell any crates yet since finding out so haven't had chance to come up against one of these cannon firing Valkyries. In the past I've only ever sold one crate at a time so only have three drops to make if getting a Cuban dropping sale mission. I do sometimes get attacked by a helicopter when between the second and third drops but it has never done enough damage to be a problem. I don't know what kind of helicopter it is that normally attacks me but if it is a Valkyrie then I guess I could be in trouble in the future. Not sure how I'd deal with it really as I think it would be too much hassle to try and land the plane and destroy the helicopter on foot.
Maybe the Valkyries only use the canon if you are selling a lot of crates at once and just selling one as I do would still be safe? That said I'm thinking of selling more at once soon so if I risk that am I right in thinking about nine crates is the limit to sell in one go if you want just the one delivery vehicle?

That said I'm thinking of selling more at once soon so if I risk that am I right in thinking about nine crates is the limit to sell in one go if you want just the one delivery vehicle? Yea I saw that. But I yet to experience it outside the Doomsday heist .... Thank God. The sale mission you describe does have a Valkyrie & 2 Buzzards, I had it a couple of days ago. There are 3 options on how to deal with that sale: A) Scout the drop locations in an armed plane\helicopter first, you'll get a lock on & you can take them out immediately. B) Have an associate escort you in armed plane\helicopter & let him\her do the shooting. C) Ignore them & continue flying as fast as you can. I used to go with Option C as the Titan can outrun the helicopters, but I went with Option A on my most recent plane sale because I didn't have an optimal drop route that'll allow me to outrun them (it was a zig-zag Shaped) so I didn't take any chances with 700k on the line, I left the Titan at LSIA & flew out in my Nokota to clear any potential enemies .... Sure enough, I shot me a Valkyrie & a couple of Buzzards. Of course Option A requires either a Solo Session or a friendly session. If you're planning to go with Option C, fly at high altitude, descend just to make the drop & quickly go up again ... The Valkyrie's cannon can't aim up so you'll be safe from it, unfortunately the Miniguns can & that's a risk you'll have to take... I strongly recommend you buy the plane armor upgrade. I'm not sure where the cut off limit for a single vehicle is. But the element of chance plays a major role in the type of delivery you get. You could move all 111 crates in a single Tug or a Titan ... Or you could move a single crate in a Tug regardless of how many people you got in your organization. The Titan sale mission is reserved to 42 crates & up. I made 2 sales recently, 42 Crates on a Titan for $735k & 12 crates on a Tug for $170ish I believe. The cool thing about the Crate business is its a lone wolf friendly, there's plenty of time for the sale (30 minutes), a Multiplier bonus (the more you sell, the more you get ... Up to $2.2M for 111 crates) & you can do it all by yourself. I've made 82 sales ($68M) all by myself with the overwhelming majority of those sales were full stocks of large warehouses (111 crates) ... As long as you do it in a solo session or a friendly\trustworthy session you're golden. If things go sour, turn off your PS4... You'll only lose 3 crates. The "worst" sale you can get is either 3 Brickades or 3 Cuban800s, both easily done solo. The 3 Brickades have 2 scenarios. 1) 5 drops per Brickade, all within City limits. Takes about 11 minutes max. 2) Deliver the 3 Brickades to a single location & defend them against 18 weak enemy NPCs ... Should take about 14 minutes max. As for 3 Cuban800s, you'll have them fly to a location (Satellite station, the trailer near route 68 or the MC meth lab in Harmony) & kill a bunch of weak enemy NPCs ... Should take about 15 minutes max.

Getting the armor upgrade for the delivery planes makes a big difference. I have not seen the Valkyries using the cannon during special cargo missions, but I did see it during the gunrunning supply mission where you attack the convoy. I was spawn killed about 4 times in a row, and this was with 2 associates.
