justinlynch3 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 This heli has become worthless. It's rocket feed to any halfway capable Buzzard pilot, cannon feed to any Lazer in the lobby, is Stinger RPG or Minigun feed to ground players, is slow, weak guns, and cumbersome. The only things a Annhilator can actually annihilate are parked airplanes or Marvricks. A plane in flight will outrun it effortlessly, a Frogger or Swift will outrun it, and everything else will outgun it. It's even more handicapped now with all the icons, people will see your heli icon and have RPG's on standby long before you ever reach them. I even hunted a Lester Target with this piece of crap once and it took several passes of bullet spray just to blow up a ai SUV. I doubt this thing serves any risk at all to armored up player cars, plus players can drive unpredictably making even getting shots hard. And even with the Rhino downgraded armor, hell this thing would still never destroy one in a million years. This thing has effectively become useless over the last few updates and could use a serious boost in firepower. It simply cannot compete. It's slow as a transporter and near useless as a fighter, what's the point? R* may as well remove it and replace it if the won't buff it.

justinlynch3 Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Yet everybody wants a hovering fighter jet (Hydra) that would likely have explosive rounds and missiles (like the Lazer) and could tank at least 2 RPG (like the Lazer). Yet somehow ya'll think a Annihilator would be overpowered........ ok, seems logical. lol ADropInTheOcean, lol232, matajuegos01 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ringtone7 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 You're absolutely right, this aircraft's weight and size make it the perfect target for any homing missile and almost always, a Buzzard will be able to fire a few rockets before coming even close to cannon range which trumps the annihilator every time. The only fun I've had with it is when me and my friends were trying to recreate a helicopter chase scene from die hard. Never use this thing in actual combat it is a death trap.

justinlynch3 Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 It could always have weaker guns then the Lazer though. Annihilator had explosive rounds on TBoGT and I recently watched a vid where it had fairly balanced fights against the Buzzard, which holy sh*t could that thing spam rockets in 4. Forgot how OP that was. Having weak explosive rounds could say, instead of needing several passes to destroy a car could cut it down to only 3 or 4 passes to destroy car. Plus even weak explosive rounds will give it SOME type of combat ability against Buzzards, Lazers, Rhino's. It doesn't have to be the strongest fighter in the game, but it needs a upgrade for sure. It's useless as is. Hell, give the Annilators rounds the power of the Police APC tank in 4. That was weak explosive rounds. It could blow up stuff but not instantly like the Lazer can in V, the APC wasn't 1 shot kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody can confirm a single thing about future DLC vehicles like the Hydra. It may appear to have gun slots on the vehicle, but heres some news for you the tank has a machine gun on top. Can we use that? No! So we're not even sure we'll be able to use guns on the hydra. If this was BF4 we would know they would be usable and it would have guns.

I always was curious why a 2nd player can't climb on top the tank and use that gun. Not like he wouldn't die within seconds from explosions or a sniper. lol.

RandallFlagg00 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Yeah the annihilator is useless. You can take it out with a pistol. I love it when somebody comes after me in one. I never blow it up. Wait until their somewhat close to the ground, shoot the pilot. Hopefully the chopper lands in working condition. Then plant a sticky and leave. You can guess what to do next. 2 easy kills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemoyne outlaw Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 i agree it does need a buff of some sort. but i like to use it to see how long i can last against police helicopters. atleast it dont have a cooldown like in gta 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantomspirit Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Absolutely useless,and they try and sell this thing on the Merryweather site? It needs something done to it,but God knows what...I would like a Jump Jet like the Harrier,they hover and can land anywhere(I think in US it may be a Hydra?) It would be massive seller,or a rocket propelled Heli that fires like the Buzzard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakebasedjo Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I don't think I've ever gotten a kill with an Annihilator, and I've never been killed by one(PvP). I agree this thing needs a serious buff, because it's a hell of a lot of fun to use. Maya Echo Visari 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurotrash Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) Only reason it had explosive rounds in TLaD to begin with was for Chopper vs Chopper, cause trying to kill a speeding biker using regular ammo would've been like trying to kill a mosquito with a whip. Then again, if I'm not mistaking, the Annohilator didn't even appear in TLaD outside Chopper vs Chopper. Having explosive rounds in TBoGT as well, and despite being quite common, was probably an oversight. An Annihilator with explosive rounds would be OP. It was OP in TBoGT, and back then you couldn't even aim with the guns. The Annihilator is weak because it's supposed to be weak. It's essentially a utility chopper that someone attached Gatling guns to. It's real life counterpart isn't exactly the Death Star either. I will say that the guns should have higher rate of fire, but with infinite ammo it would be very OP, and without it would be pretty boring because, well, even one Gatling gun uses up ammo pretty fast, let alone four.

Chang Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 But it can seat six people. And if they all scream @ same time "WE COME IN PEACE" the survival rate goes up 2% too 10% outta a possible 100% survival rate. They could add 1 explosive fire round every 15 seconds during a steady stream of minigun fire would make it interesting. Other than that ur a stupid a$$ sitting duck, sittings there. i Chang psymin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinlynch3 Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Having 1 round of explosives (which would be 4 bullets (1 round each gun)) after every 20 or whatever regular rounds is a interesting idea, never though of something like that.

Ghost XB Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 The Annihilator should have more powerful rounds, it should have a bit more powerful rounds. The Annihilator's kinda like the Adder.

.Vooodu. Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 They should swap the Lazers cannons with it. The Annililator should have the exploding bullets not the Lazer.

Hyperglide Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) loling hard at an Annihilator with explosive rounds. Do you people think before you post? As if GTA Online Free mode isn't bedlam enough now. Annihilators are more easy to obtain and more of them and also easier to fly then Lazers for all players not just aces. Free mode would be a wasteland if this were the case. It would break online and there wouldn't be any balance. Not that there's any now but at least it's manageable. Derpiest post I've read in a while on here. Edited February 19, 2015 by Hyperglide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
