GKS Sahara Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) Surprisingly there hasn't been a thread for this (at least not one I could find). The Annihilator Vehicle Type: Law Enforcement Body Style: Armed Utility Helicopter Capacity: 6 (2 Pilots and 4 Passengers) Price: $1,825,000 via GTA Online Pilot Guide (Thanks to Tonski) Perhaps one of the best personnel transportation helicopters in the GTA Series, when it comes to the Annihilator, you either love it, or you hate it. This thread is for those who love it, so, lets get this started off! It was really useful last night when 11 of my crew mates and myself went into public lobbies, we used the Annihilator as use of transportation, 5 in each one with two Buzzards giving us Escort. Now that Next gen is out, lets see them Next gen pictures! First person yo! Edited November 18, 2014 by Vishnu1111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k33g Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Perhaps one of the best personnel transportation helicopters in the GTA Series very debatable. I like the fact that it's a 6 seater, but it's a pain to fly imo. Still, it's great for evac situations with a large crew like you mentioned.Good call having buzzards for gunners.

Crystal3lf Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) It needs the old GTA IV EFLC exploding rounds. Otherwise it's kinda useless imo. Edited November 18, 2014 by Crystal3lf -KM-, daricusGTA, Mervz789 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you guys rolled 12 vs 4? You guys are so hardcore. Seriously. It was more of a media night and to chill with people in public lobbies more than anything, I must have misused the term "Dominate", in which form you are correct, we did "dominate" in terms of numbers. Ill correct that now. Regardless, please stay on topic, if something as such still bothers you, Id suggest PM'ng me.

Pedinhuh Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 It lacks the explosive rounds from GTA IV:EFLC, making this heap of junk completly useless.

GKS Sahara Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 Well... This thread completely backfired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoingWolf Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Well... This thread completely backfired. As with most threads on this site, everyone rushes to make jokes and bash the OP for those Like hits. Gotta look cool somewhere. On topic, the thing is a monster when used right, but in a supporting role. It can't really compete head on as much as give room for a team to swoop in to do serious damage. Good communication on Deathmatch maps with these in them can lead to really crazy games. GKS Sahara and xXxKAMIKAZExXx 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheeseCoatedChopper Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Oh boy a thread all about my favorite heli! Sure it's not as good as it's older variant, but I refuse to give up on it. Besides the lazer and hydra, it's my most used method of attacking things. I recently discovered something new about it too! I'll be making a video showcasing the anny in full and what it's good and not good at. My yt channel is the same as my name on here. Totally not advertising btw, just trying to spread the love of this neat heli because too many people depend on heavily armored vehicles and explosive weapons. This thread shall not die! Not yet! CLEAR!!! zzzt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xXxKAMIKAZExXx Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Easily the most underrated helicopter - and sadly with good reason. The guns are great against vehicles, but awful against people, which is very unusual for an attack helicopter. I wish it came with more liveries, like military coats and public service ones like what the Raindance had from San Andreas. Or at the very least a way of removing them, as I would love a stealth black chopper without the yellow stripe.

Yellow Dog with Cone Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Poor Annihilator. Buff it. Annihilator Custom. More armor. Countermeasures. Rogue's explosive cannon.

SMC-93 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 (edited) It works great when your target if someone 'bobing an export car. There's no way for them to fight back without harming the car. Maybe a d-bag move, but what use does an attack helicopter have if you're not attacking something. That being said, I love it but it doesn't really have a place in the average public lobby when there's more combat effective vehicles.

Sanches Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 (edited) Im looking foward to see unarmed Black Hawk and without that stupid livery to be added in the game. Edited October 26, 2017 by Sanches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hécate-II Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I use it when playing with my second character which don't own any helicopter. It forces me to use the Buzzard or Annihilator to play Headhunter or Hostile Take Over(Altruist variation has good practice targets). Well, the gun are extremely powerfull if you're able to aim/figure out how to aim with. A bit like Buzzard Miniguns. Both can shred armored cars and even Insurgents. There is a view that allows to aim properly(R on PC), it changes the camera. Whatever I don't manage to make that view persistent...

IceDree Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I was hoping the hangar's workshop would allow us to get rid of the livery or at least recolor the yellow stripe. What a waste. 79'Blazer4x4, _47_ and xXxKAMIKAZExXx 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you can't get rid of the stripe? I thought I'd buy one with the addition of being able to paint aircraft, but if that ugly yellow stripe is still there no matter what then there's no point. On a side note, it's stupid that making the Valkyrie a personal aircraft removes the badass nose art, but doing the same to the Annihilator doesn't remove the hideous stripes.

I don't have one to test it myself, but every video I watched didn't have the option to remove it & every customized one I saw a screenshot of, had that stupid yellow stripe. I was hoping we can get rid of it like the Titan's camo, but no dice. 79'Blazer4x4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_47_ Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Yeah I had to get rid of mind literally three minuets after bringing it to my hangar and finding out about the permanent livery. Like the others, such wasted potential. 79'Blazer4x4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckdude001 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 (edited) Its so sad how there is a good number of neglected vehicles in this game, this being one of them. A iconic military transport heli like this shouldnt be given this treatment! Everything should be relevant imo! This thing needs a custom version. With liveries and bodywork styles to make it either a civilian, noose, coast guard or military aircraft. Needs new weapon options aswell along with armour, better performance and countermeasures. It should also be the fastest military heli in the game like it was in gta4. Instead they butcher it and to humiliate it even more, put it on discounts at times. what the f*ck R*?

delorianlazarus Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Only time I saw one online was during the Ari Schwartzman setup, Pacific Standard heist. A modder was in the lobby and spawned one, so we could pick up both the dude and the whole team without being worried by the cops. So basically I only flew once the Annihilator, it was both chrome and god-modded. It still counts as a positive memory, but not sure it's a very accurate experience Duckdude001 and Happy Hunter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cutter De Blanc Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I remember once I had a Bounty and was hiding in the Chiliad Mountain State Wildnerness and some dope flew up and tried to kill me with the Annhilator's machine gun. They crashed into the trees and died. Duckdude001 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
