Flyin_Japman Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Bought my Akula last night. Can't say I'm loving it yet since I'm 0-1 with it. I tried using it on a Job where you steal coke and blow up the vehicles in the hangar of LSIA. Retarded teammates didn't want to get in the copilot seat, and some NPC shot me out of the cockpit when I landed it. I will try it out for Air Smuggling later tonight, assuming I can get a buddy to fly with me. I will also get myself a nice V-Day present of Sharlatan cards so I can get homing rockets on it.

Cutter De Blanc Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) Your co-pilot does little more than cheerlead in this helicopter. The secondary gun is not worth shooting. When using it in missions it's best to use it in ones where you get a 3 star plus wanted level, otherwise the fact that it's a stealth chopper is basically meaningless Edited February 13, 2018 by Cutter De Blanc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyin_Japman Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 True. When I get missiles, it will be better overall. I will get the Hunter eventually though, so next time I ask for a copilot, they may actually get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delorianlazarus Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Bombed my first Lazer with it... Was a bit easy thanks to stealth mode, but still very satisfying Happy Hunter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyin_Japman Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Can you bomb while in stealth mode? I expect not though, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutter De Blanc Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I've noticed some times it will make the lock on sound while I'm still in stealth mode, and when I switch out I already have the lock. Can't get it to work consistently, I assume it's a bug. Bloodytears1666 and Gridl0k 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't get it to work consistently, I assume it's a bug. I tell you more, it's actually lock-on at this moment, and opponent has lock-on alarm triggered. I have once flew in my Lazer around the city and noticed that from nowhere I'm receiving lock-on attention, radar is empty in this area, then had remembered that glitch and started to seek for an Akula... Guess, I have found one in the stealth mode right above me. This glitch is a game breaking, this guy didn't had a chance afterwards.

Ghosthands Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Yes, I've noticed this too and suspected it was giving my presence away. Quite annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosthands Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 It's always nice to meet a fellow Akula player. Today I noticed there was one in the lobby and saw him land to get into his MOC, so I went to take a look. His bird had the exact same colour scheme as mine, just with a different camo pattern. I landed right next to it, got out, and when he left his MOC he saw two near-identical Akulas parked outside. I complimented him on his taste, he thanked me, we took off simultaneously in a flurry of sparks and clashing blades and disappeared. Should've screenshotted it.

My experience with other Akula users has been the exact opposite.They're usually the only players that come looking for me and the only ones who succeed in killing me (Same for me too and that's probably because of the similar mindset) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxBazooka01 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Had some money to burn, so I decided to buy it and fully upgraded it, slapping the barrage on to it. It's not as offensive as the Hunter at all, but it is satisfying to watch tryhards fight each while otr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutter De Blanc Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I landed on a rooftop in Stealth mode in the middle of a freeroam battle and just creeped out there until the fight moved, I felt very sneaky. Didn't even attack anyone. Was more to see if I could get away with it. Akula matata Happy Hunter, Piro and Forza Harrd 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyin_Japman Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) I upgraded my Akula with Homing Missiles. My new baby. I will probably make it a hobby to hunt down bounty targets outside of the city. I destroyed one $9K bounty so far.

Happy Hunter Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 (edited) It's so good to sneak up on someone like this and kill them, knowing how desperate these types are to never be killed by another player's hand. Looks like they got chucked into bad sport through that session too lol. Of course, afterwards I flew off and didn't give them a chance to get their kill back.

Foppezão Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 (edited) Is the Hunter able to tank more missiles? The thing with the Akula is, when u take one missile, it's pretty hard to avoid the next and third/fourth (differs) when someone is spamming you with an oppressor/deluxo, cause the chopper is 'rocking' too much after the hit, let alone able to properly shoot back. So in the end it's doesn't really matter to get blasted by one or three missiles, unless you're able to escape the range and spamming. I sometimes miss the flares to use in between..

nido997 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 so , bought this beauty today as I assume that we won´t get any discount on the akula in the near future (and because of the 10% tax refund that we will get) I´ll post some pics soon , but my question is : is it worth it equipping the dual minigun ? and is it only for the co-pilot , knowing I´m 95 % of the time a lone wolf ?

FukNRekd Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 (edited) Don't bother with the double mini. It's fairly lame IMO. Edited February 20, 2018 by FukNRekd nido997 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they are a waste of money. You can compare it to the second waterhose-upgrade of the Riot-Van. nido997 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do the same damage as the single (Check out CGH's vid)I just bought them because they look cooler. Does anyone have any color recommendations for this? (Preferable Matte) My hangar has the red style and i really can't see any of the colors properly because of the contrast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they take the same amount of missiles and explosive rounds. I feel like (when smoking) maybe the Hunter lasts a little longer before falling down, but that's probably just it being faster - makes it get back to the hangar for repairs in time more, kind of gives the illusion it lasts longer before falling down.

Cutter De Blanc Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) I can tank one MAYBE two missiles in an Akula (and then I have to go fix it), any more and it dies. I've eaten like 7 missiles in the face in my Hunter before it exploded so make of that what you will Edited February 26, 2018 by Cutter De Blanc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
