MIGHT NOT BE ACCURATE AT ALL but this is just based off my experience while running this game + some people know this i bet but lots of people don't
since the game has some kind of point system as far as stars go, let's say 2 stars has forms (light,medium,heavy) Killing,stealing etc all give different ammount of "points" so you have to do specific actions to get a police bike, if you go over the limit of "points" you will get police cars spawning instead of bikes. some combinations i've noticed that get police bikes ("light" 2 star level) 1.shoot cop car + kill cop (that's what you have to do in sweet's girl for insta cop bike after mission pick up) 2.run over pedestrian, then run over cop 3. few others i can't remember combinations that get police cars and VERY rarely police bikes(medium+heavy 2 star level) 1.Killing 2 cops (if you do this police bike will be very likely to be "late" in sweet's girl strat) 2.killing 2 cops +pedestrian 3.shooting cop car + killing 2 cops
there probably is a way to get police bike for t-bone dupe after jizzy everytime (something like kill limo driver + rocket 2nd car so you get "light" star level, or is the 2 stars after mission passed fixed? ) but i don't care enough to find out so if someone wants to do that go ahead! does this knowledge increase ykbb p bike consistency? fuck no, my strats are still shit and boat strats are faster anyway KappaClaus
Correct me if you think i'm wrong, guys.
There are no other impacts of severity of crimes other than time until wanted level is decreased (in case of WL = 1 or being in desert/badlands) or number of new crimes until wanted level is increased. This article is fairly accurate: http://www.gtamodding.com/wiki/Wanted_level
As for whether game should spawn police bike or police car, post that Patrick linked describes exact conditions. There are rare circumstances when game intentionally loads cop car when it should spawn cop bike (i.e. set pieces), but they are irrelevant since these cases aren't really random cop vehicle spawns.
The GTA:SA community has been deteriorating over a long period of time. Many top runners are not currently present on the leaderboard. This issue has not been seriously addressed yet, but an attempt will be made to remedy it now.
As of this news post, the San Andreas leaderboard will function in
