The Hunter Appreciation Thread!

Plus Yan all but confirmed it a few days before the trailer dropped.

Soon *Sees a hunter coming outta nowhere off radar*

[The Wandering Hunter]

hopefully it can point directly upwards or it will end up jet fodder

This thread now has the popular tag and it's only been around for a little over a day! Looks like lots of people are ready to embrace the Hunter.

[ALifeOfMisery]

Something like 73 hours to go. Not that I'm counting them down or anything (:

[Mexicola9302]

I think the missions will be pretty hard for not so good pilots i won`t have problems with it but i know some ppl that might have problems with it. Im not sure yet if i can wait to buy the hunter with discount or i just gonna buy it for the full price . The last time i used the Hunter was in Vice City i had no idea it was in San Andreas to be honest. Really hope we can do rolls and loopings with it and we need flares.

[xXxKAMIKAZExXx]

Good stuff! Can't wait to finally use this beast. I'll be rocking out to my KDST playlist as I rain fire from above

We've been ready since the day we were all born!

Knowing Rockstar, plus the rumours about solo public sessions, I wouldn't be surprised if the guns could only be operated by a second player.

Let's hope that aimbot NPCs can't shoot you to death through the cockpit glass. I f*cking hate when I'm trying to headhunter and then some npc aimbot snipes me from my buzzard with a f*cking uzi from a moving car.....

Possible research for bullet resistant glass?

[DangerZ0neX]

Now all that's left to do is to compete with each other on who will release both the Hunter's and the Savage's resilience tests first.

Countermeasures confirmed! Hopefully an option for the hunter as well.

[Mexicola9302]

Really hope we can do contact missions and heists with it and not just use it in freeroam that would suck. I mean we still can`t use the Ruiner 2000 in contact missions and heists i wonder why because now we have apc`s, tampa`s with weapons and oppressor`s and all that stuff that we can use in contact missions.

 

If it works like the Special Vehicle Garage under our Vehicle Warehouse we are f*cked and can`t use them anywhere else except freeroam.

 

If they screw that up there will be a hell of a sh*tstorm.

[Kushology]

^^

 

It being used in heists is just pushing it..

 

Misread, carry on. Nothing to see here.

 

I'd hope though that we can use it in contact missions.

Bound to be isn't there really?

 

Oh this is gonna be great. That keeps it safe from Oppressors, homing launchers, Ruiners ... Haha, I can't wait.

Turns out they come in different colours too. I'll just stick to stock ones, but it's cool that the option is there.

My guess would be that it will definitely be an option, but there will be some trade off. Either it will be limited in number or have a cool down or there will be 3-4 weapon/armor/countermeasure options and you can only pick 2-3 of them at a time. If it's the latter, hopefully it will be like the apc and you will be able to own multiple ones with different configurations assuming you can afford it and you have the hanger space to accommodate it.

 

If it follows usual DLC trend there is going to be at least one vehicle that is very OP, hopefully it's the Hunter! Either way the skies above LS are about to get real fun!

[FrugalDangerMan]

Does anyone think the Hunter will have it's own unique map marker ala the Armed Tampa, APC, Etc?

More than likely

[JustinR512]

I'd also assume this is going to have a high initial price tag, with a discounted price available after you complete an introductory mission.

This is one of the few vehicles in the GTA series that its not actually a mash-up of several real life vehicles but entirely based upon a particular one, the beautiful Boeing AH-64 Apache

It's already known that it's a mashup of AH-64 and RAH-66. It's actully more of a RAH-66, featuring it's styling throughout most of the body (tail and the base).

I hope we can add bullet resistant glass to helicopters.

Not bullet proof but the reinforced glass that the armoured vehicles have, would be nice to fly a Buzzard without being instantly killed by NPC's.

[Maxxi]

I really hope that it isn't made of paper mache like the rest of the attack Helos.

[Goingcrowd9]

I didn't play gta:sa, but I sure hope it handles the same... who doesn't like a helicopter that can make loops ?

And please, don't let it be a

Valkyrie weapons speaking

- pilot can't do sh*t

Or a Savage armour speaking

- a bike has more armour

[Blackangel66686]

I wish they'd make a distinction between the missiles and rockets (unguided missiles are not the same as rockets).

 

The hunter needs to be the ultimate weapons platform, it should be able to withstand a decent amount of punishment, especially given the amount of AA in the game now but some of that should be down to pilot skill what with the ability to use counter measures which has been long overdue.

 

The glass should be bullet resistant as it is on a real attack helicopter and the cannon should work similar to the Valkyrie setup where you need a co pilot to operate it, but a single pilot can still operate the missiles like anything else.

 

That way a dual piloted hunter would be the dogs danglies

[TheLordMarvel]

Probably gonna be my first purchase in regards to aircraft. Although the Savage is weak as sh*t, it's come in very handy for some missions, so I'm hoping this will be a worthy replacement. I have a feeling it will annihilate the Savage quicker than snowballs can.
