But on the down side there isn’t much for you to store in the back if you’re a solo player. ).Of course you may still end up in severe problems if someone actually uses their eyes and spots something strange in the sky. It closely resembles the McDonnell Douglas T-45 Goshawk single engine jet trainer as well as the BAE Systems Hawk which the T-45 was developed from. That’s because you can get yourself something better for only 500k more. Well: spawning in a Buzzard of course!
It actually shields the targets… but not for long This thing takes getting used to because it’s quite light and very nimble, meaning that it can easily move into directions which you may not have intended. Trying to get the packages in the Sightseer VIP mission is a lot easier if you can fly. position yourself above the car, lower the chopper enough for the cable to hook onto the car and then you’re home free! Which can be a lifesaver (those LSPD choppers can slowly, but steadily, really damage your heli! While the Akula can run away & hide (if executed properly) the Hunter has better armor & counter-measures to block any aftermath shenanigans.Ergo: 2 different helicopters for 2 different purposes. The Hunter sells for 4,1 million but its trade price is 3,1 million.For the record: I bought both helicopters full price and I think it was well worth it!You’ve seen five different helicopters which each excel at different tasks:A special mention of appreciation goes out to the Avenger. But as I mentioned these two helicopters are in a completely different category of their own:What sets the Akula apart from the Savage is its insane collection of weaponry:The Akula has one very specific trait that really sets it apart from all the other vehicles: stealth mode. Well, this thing has more tricks up its sleeve you know If you’re a CEO (meaning: you own a CEO office) then you’ll gain access to some specific “organization vehicles” which you’ll be able to spawn instantly and right next to you: you can see an example above.And the best part is that if you bought yourself a Buzzard then spawning one in won’t cost you anything. It’s simply a civilian helicopter meant to transport you from point A to B and it does a good job with that.There are very few places which you can’t reach using a Frogger…The Frogger sells for 1,3 million; you can get it from the Elitas travel website in-game. GTA 5 - TOP 5 Best Helicopters in GTA Online. Play the Pacific Standard heist however (the convoy mission) and the amount gets dropped to 1,950,000. However… if you look closely at the back you’ll notice that it has three seats instead of two:We really should be able to fit an extra player in here, don’t you think? If they can also aim somewhat decently then that could spell doom for you because, as I mentioned earlier: The Akula can’t really defend itself from incoming missiles.So what to do if you need to take on a target head on?While Akula is all about stealth and sneaky attacks, this one is about blowing your enemies out of the sky and laughing at their feeble attempts to take you down afterwards! You can choose to buy the planes, especially from stores, or just steal from the airports. As you can see above the cargobob’s main function is to transport cars across the map by air.Once you’re flying you can release the hook underneath the helicopter which is used to pick up a car. This beast is easily worth the full price.So… have I lost my mind or something here? I dunno, in my opinion the map doesn’t really allow for decent jet flights but more so: it’s easier to land a helicopter somewhere in the city than it is to land a jet (though practice makes perfect I suppose…).Anyway; the old days when we only had access to a few helicopters are over, now we have a ton to choose from so I figured I’d share a list of my five favorite helicopters. Some are obviously better (or rather: more useful) than others.This list is in order of my personal preference and general usability and goes from low to high.Figured I’d mention this because I could imagine that new(er) players may get confused if they purchase any of these aircraft only to discover that they can’t pick or change any colors.
Of course they can still see you in the actual game itself, you’re not really invisible or anything.If you cloak yourself then you’ll also reduce your (optional) wanted level from whatever you had back to 2.
