The Hunter Appreciation Thread!

[Picklez]

So after trying over and over to beat the final casino mission only to have someone alert the guards and get us all killed by the swarm of guards that surround you I had an idea. Decided to call in my Hunter and get my team mate in the co-pilot seat and then proceeded to rain down missiles and hatred on that ranch. Then I took out Doug Dimmadome and his escort while spamming chaff. f*ck stealth missions with teammates and f*ck being forced to need a teammate.

 

I love this helicopter so much. Fortunate Son may not have been playing on the radio at the time, but it was playing in my heart.

Mmm, it's either the hunter or a bunch of dripfeed supercars from the lattest dlc.... 

 

Though choice, really. 

 

EDIT: Seriously I don't know what to buy

Obviously biased here but Hunter all the way. Much more use than all of the super/sports cars combined and it's faster than any of them. Even without a co-pilot it's pretty deadly and one of the few helicopters that can survive an encounter with the missile spamming vehicles like the Oppressor/Deluxo.

My good ol' trusty Hunter got me booted from a lobby for the first time.

 

Noice.

Still the best and gorgeous on-the-go attack 'flying tank' heli. Can't compare to others. Aaaaand ofcourse in real world too.

 

 

And yes R* still need to fix the bomb's radius and hitbox.

 

I'm or We actually really looking even 1 former pilot or co-pilot of AH-64 here in thread (we're so lucky if there's one) of what's his "General Reaction" while flying and using the Hunter and its weapon.

[Cognoscenti]

Still love to just fly around in this gorgeous machine. Night flights are the best for me in this beast.

Sorry if it looks like I'm just advertising my twitter - it's just easier than uploading to an image hosting site to link a tweet with the picture.

 

The writing in that (though valid and heroic) isn't what I wanted to get at. It's just so sexy. Looking at it makes me want to fly it.

 

But the brooms everywhere ... And then I have to get into some stupid contest of who can climb for 20 minutes before getting bored, or one of my barrage rockets eventually hits them. That just gets old.

[SIM-1]

I agree, with removal of passive it really sux.  

 

I scored a real nice one with tints and sport wheels I really want to fly more. 

 

Have untried rammung the broomsticks?  Chopping one up in the rotors would be super satisfying.

Saw several flying past my workplace here in the Midwest--the National Guard actually uses some of them.

 

I'll be crowing as much as Happy Hunter if/when R* ever adds Blue Thunder to the game.

 

But yeah, I still like my in-game Hunter--just wish it was a bit easier to spawn/access. My Buzzard usually wins for sheer convenience (and nostalgia).

Had this since the day it came out. 

[AUScowboy]

So glad we helped Happy meme this beast into the game. His initial wishlist video should be in the OP of this thread if it isn't already, they added all of what we asked for and more.

[Standard Deluxe 59]

Nevermind. Apparently I've already used that picture.

I did know this could outrun missiles a long time ago. Hunter is incredibly fast once it gets going (out of the hangar anyway).

 

Now that the MKII can't be spammed though, wasting their missiles has much more purpose. Still think that thing deserves a nerf, but this is a much less tedious thing to use against them than the old climbing up tactic.

need hunter on one player )

I am developing special protection for military equipment tanks and helicopters this protection will not allow you to shoot missiles at you

Or rather I'm asking the Rockstars to do it

I want Hunter to have again the greatness that in gta vice city when it was the absolute transport of this game

[leopev]

 

I want him back in a remastered GTA 5 in single player so he was a player so we were shooting with guns and rockets while the gun fired and worked exactly like Gee in GTA Vice city )

gta without hunter is not gta for me )

yes I would like to remove the flying bike and the rifle with explosive cartridges from the game so I would remove all civilian tarnsport with weapons like deluxe and ruiner

[TheLordMarvel]

The Hunter has literally spoiled all aircraft in the game for me tbh. It's just an absolute beast.

Just had to laugh, browsing some "funny" t-shirt, had to think about project helisexuality.
