Can I hop on the bandwagon?

"Steal supplies with tactical teamwork. Touch down in tight quarters and attack from the ground with the nimble Havok helicopter."


I'm sorry but that's just a f*cking Buzzard.


The helmet looks nice af though.

I'm glad there's a custom Buzzard, and i hope we can either put the guns back on, or there's a weaponized version...

 

But why did they rename it? Why not call it the Buzzard Custom?

I think it's mainly due if players purchase the wrong helicopter and demand a refund because of it. It would make Rockstar look like they are ripping people off by having the same name and design. I assume this means that the Buzzard Attack Chopper might not be customisable, along with other older aircraft, which would be ashame.

...yay?

 

The only vehicle that was already in the game that I'm excited for is the Skylift.

The unarmed Buzzard Havok can even be seen in some delivery missions...

 

I mean, colors. Fantastic! We can paint a Buzzard brand new helicopter!

If this is their excuse for keeping old pegasus vehicles unmoddable, then it's a pretty crap way of covering for their lazy asses.

This is a rip-off in my mind, but to each their own I guess?

Wrong pic R*?

 

I wouldn't be surprised if tomorrow rolls around and ...whoops, the Havok is the new microcopter, and R* used the wrong screenshot.

 

I'd have assumed that even if R* didn't want people mixing up the Buzzard Attack Chopper, the unarmed Buzzard, and the new customisable Buzzard, calling the new version the 'Buzzard Custom' would be enough, but maybe that's why the new name (assuming it's not a screw-up).

 

 

...anyway, I'm now thinking I wasn't necessarily far off the mark when I guessed R* might do something like this:

 

opening_credits_low_flying_chopper_full.

 

 

Odds of a T.C. version as one of the decal options?

I believe it's a mistake. The second option would be R* logic.

I bet that was just a mistake. Havok is this small heli that everyone is guessing to be Sparrow or Little Willie. It has GAU rifle on the bottom, so the name could be fitting.

Would they really miss out on the Little Willie name though? I know usually things can lose their names, but a name like Little Willie?

 

Anyway, adding armour and countermeasures to a Buzzard would be cool, not to mention changing the paint.

They missed a lot of other names in the past. It seems that they don't care at all about Stories games. We had V8 Ghost, they used the Ardent, Phobos VT - Coquette. Even the more popular ones like Bandito - Dune FAV. I'm​ not expecting it to be Little Willie nor Sparrow, although it would be nice to have a nostalgia time.

It's pretty much an unarmed Buzzard, even the designation/number thing on the engine is the same as the unarmed Buzzards.

 

 

 

N230MP. But it's good you can actually buy one I suppose.

...yup, it was a screw-up - here's the Havok:

Nearest real-life helicopter (and most likely inspiration) is the Heli-Sport CH-7:

CH7-Express.jpg

 

 

Specific closest model being the CH-7 Angel - which in turn was a development of the Cicare CH-6. EliSport (later Heli-Sport) bought the rights to the open-cockpit CH-6, and redesigned it with an enclosed cabin.

The designer brought in to come up with the new cockpit? None other than automotive design legend Marcello Gandini - the man behind iconic Lamborghinis like the Miura and Countach, the Lancia Stratos, the Maserati Ghibli, and many more besides - !! :O

I'm damn certain on of the hangar ressuply you're supposed to land a Havok on the roof and not the buzzard, combined with the fact that they already mistook a buzzard with the havok my certainty grows even greater.

 

Anyways, nice little performer

Do we know anything about customization and armament yet? I'm really hoping we get a fixed explosive canon to do a little dogfighting. The hunter looks like a bust for air to air (solo) work.

Liveries are meh, gun is useless. Just a small nonexplosive minigun.
