Hunter Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) A little bit about the helicopter first: Based on the real life Hind, the Savage is a multiple purpose attack/transport helicopter. It can hold 4 people, has an explosive cannon and missiles with no cool down. These missiles can lock onto players driving vehicles, but not while they're on foot - alternatively, a co pilot can aim them (while the main pilot is still able to use the cannons). It can be purchased from the Warstock website for $1,950,000. Unfortunately, the Savage doesn't quite live up to the Hind's nickname of "the flying tank". It has very weak armour, even weaker than the much smaller Buzzard (pictured above). As you can see in the spoiler below, it doesn't take a lot to destroy the Savage: No matter how awesome this helicopter is, there's no getting away from its weak armour, short ranged weapons, and lack of flares/difficulty dodging missiles. It is very difficult to use against players who know what they're doing. Still, it's good for missions, and is just a great looking helicopter all - round. If you really want it stronger, there's also always Rockstar's email address (G[email protected]) - they're happy to take suggestions. At any rate, it's a lovely helicopter: Edited February 12, 2016 by Icantthinkofonew Nyamber, Yuvitheplaya and GeoGTAVProKillah 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) There wasn't a Savage Appreciation thread before? Curious. Not that I could find, and I looked quite a bit. Anyway, I thought it was criminal that this thing didn't have one, so here one is.

Except for its (lack of) armor. That is nothing to appreciate. 4 Savages unloading on Los Santos Connection or Mixed Up with Coke is a sight to be rivaled.

Lets hope they don't lock it, the Savage is a beautiful machine. And it's great when you've got more than one. I also like it when I'm on a mission and can see someone else flying one in the distance - when it's far off it's easier to appreciate how huge and intimidating it looks. I just badly wish it had the armour to match. Anyway, if it's gonna get locked I may as well fit in as many pictures, gifs, and videos as I can: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That happened to me once ... I didn't know how the savage was just sitting there like that ... i had sniped at it but it didn't explode. came around the corner and there it was... didn't think to get in it tho DOH!

KoingWolf Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Be careful when it comes to the two seater aspect of it. Especially if you don't realize your original pilot has bailed. LT. Ronald C. Spiers and Hunter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timcatgt5 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 We can appreciate the fact this "flying tank" can be blown up in 4 revolver shots. Other than that, its devastating cannon and auto firing missiles make it a beast for missions, Crystal Clear Out 3 made easy.

Hunter Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) I've been doing VIP work to gather more money. Being a VIP, I was able to have a bodyguard, so inbetween the work I did a little fighting and got these two co pilot kills on camera: I love the Savage.
