^ Every single helicopter floats... :D

I was thinking specifically of the Cargobob (grouping the Marine and Jetsam ones together).

It's the only helicopter I've been able to land on water (without it capsizing) in other than calm, flat water. I haven't tried post-swift helicopters but the other original ones will float if you're gentile and the water is fairly flat.

I'd have to see video of a Havoc staying afloat.

 

I do have a complaint about the Tula: it will retract the landing gear when in water, so you can't beach it or go up the ramp at the main Heliport without doing some damage until it's shallow enough for the game to count it as being "on land"

Ideally, it should have the extra-drag problem like the Aqua Blazer with the wheels down in the water, but let you leave them down

 

And another one: I lost the prop of one of the outboard engines but flew on and while that didn't affect its vertical mode, the plane wanted to roll like a sumabich toward the damaged engine when in normal flight. That engine was not providing enough specific lift over that part of the wing to justify handling that poor and it should have been a yaw problem instead of roll, but "Rockstar Physics" was in full effect. It was so bad I thought it was my controller, at first.

yeah i agree on the price. bit too high. R* recent politics is clearly, and sadly too shark card oriented

It's actually one of the easiest to float, and does so in a ridiculous manner:

Didn't get the chance to try a bit rougher water though.

Don't own one personally, but it's always a joy to fly during supply missions.

I use this almost every time i do the air cargo mission with the Titan escort. Just hover above the stupid Buzzards that don't shoot at you and drop single bombs, as they're so damn slow moving and very easy to hit.

This plane always reminds me of this picture i got. Wish i could know the real counterpart of it (from the pic). Looks a really interesting airplane, is it fast ?

There's no one real counterpart, it's a mix of several aircraft. You can see them on the first page of this thread. And it's not a very fast plane, but it has the convenience of landing anywhere. And can carry 5 people, is (poorly) armed, and cool looking.

I was waiting for a sale, but damn, I might just have to buy this beauty anyway and have done with it, literally the only other aircraft on my wishlist now we have the hunter and nokota

So i finally made it : i bought the Tula. It wasn't a wise-investment, it's not competitive nor usefull to have but i couldn't ignore this historic plane for my collection. So here you have it. It's still in project but i'm trying to recreate a french Grumman G-21 Goose used in Aéronavale division (Marines). I'd be interested in knowing the hex color for the blue in the Coast Guards livery if somebody can help me.

I wish it had floaters on the wings. Am I the only one whos bothered that when it floats in the water without tipping it looks like its breaking the laws of physics?

This bugged me from the moment I saw it. I also wish they'd just done a regular Goose with twin engines instead of the meld of 4 plus the VTOL crap, even if there is a prototype.

Interested in picking one up since 40% off. Would it be worth the 2.3mill purchase? Not sure. Hmm

Depends on how much disposable income you have and how much you enjoy flying planes. Its poor for combat and its pretty slow, but its a blast to fly around and land in the water. Cool looking liveries as well

Sat on roughly $51.6 mill right now, give or take. And I do love flying planes. I'll definitely consider it. I've always wanted one since relesse but the price had been pretty steep ;P

I can't shake the feeling that Rockstar might throw a Tula (and some of the other SR aircraft) into their upcoming 'new' Transform Races at the end of next month.

Sorely tempted to buy one as the discount is on this week. Hmm...

i've always liked it but the normal pricetag was always a bit too steep. Now, however, it's a lot more tempting.
