Review of the Shark helicopter in GTA 5 Online

Shark in GTA Online was presented with Judgment Day update. This is not quite a Russian helicopter. But rather, even an American intelligence helicopter Rah-66 Comanche, which was planned to be used for intelligence. The main feature was a reduction in visibility for the detection of enemy. All unnecessary, including weapons, was planned to be hidden in the internal cargo -pots. But the helicopter was never launched in production, since in 2004 the US Army decided to close the Kremch program.

It is not clear why the developers Rockstar Games attributed this helicopter to the Russians and gave the name « shark », consonant with a Russian shock helicopter Ka-50 « Black Shark ».

Firstly, the Ka-50 has two coarse screws of rotating in the opposite direction, with this scheme the helicopter does not need a steering screw on the tail. And secondly, the Ka-50 helicopter is single, and the double Ka-52 Alligator is visually not at all like our helicopter in the game.

Let’s figure out what the new helicopter is so attractive.

Shark is one of The fastest helicopters in GTA Online – he even in the stock is ahead of the legendary Laser and Hydra aircraft.

Comparative helicopter test.

This test used 4 combat helicopters, one civilian and two fighters.
• on the first screen-a shark in stock, without a modification, using stealth mode
• on 2-the shark is completely charged, also using stealth mode
• But for 3-exactly the same charged shark, only without the use of stealth mode-I did to check whether the stealth mode affects the flight speed
• On the fourth screen, I posted everyone my favorite Buzzard
• 5 SAVAGE
• 6 Hunter with full pumping
• In the lower left corner, I decided to use the fastest civilian helicopter Volatus for the sake of an experiment
• Following is Hydra
• And the last Lazer

The test results were not entirely expected:

Shark and Hunter are the fastest helicopters in https://ukcryptocasinos.co.uk/review/spin-time/ GTA Online

Another huge plus is the ability to use stealth mode. In this mode, your label disappears from the radar and other players will not be able to track you and interfere with you when completing any assignment in an open session.

As in this case!

Stealth mode can be useful when delivering goods when you do not want to attract attention. Although of course you can use another trick for this – create a solitary public session and deliver cargo there. You can find a link to the video “How to boil everyone from the session” in the description under the video, or at the end of the video. But if you deliver goods to a session with a large number of players, then you will receive additional bonuses for each player in the session, as a competitor.

But if you are not interested in the topic with the delivery of goods, then you can mock other players in the session, quietly sneak up for them, and suddenly take it out of surprise!

True, you cannot use weapons in the stroke mode, but during the battle it can be turned off, and then turn on and quietly hide back.

Now I’ll tell you a little about the controllability of this helicopter. Shark is a hypermane helicopter, and at first control seemed a little complicated, but you can get used to it. Especially if you use a joystick for flights. Much worse. when a helicopter, on the contrary, does not have enough maneuverability.

Still, if you go to stealth mode when on the tail of the cop and a large level of search. Then the police will stop the persecution and the level of search will fall to two stars. Which gives an undoubted plus when passing missions.

How to call
This helicopter is stored in the hangar and it cannot be called the Pegasus service. But it can be well modernized

Modifications
First of all, you need to increase the armor. Then pump the engine. Well, then you can go to armament. Here you can install a bomb compartment to arrange an enemy bombardment. True, efficiency remains in question.

To get into the target, you need to drop bombs in advance, and you need to take into account the speed and height of the flight, which does not always succeed.

The main weapon is a machine gun. But this helicopter was deprived of breaking ammunition, so you have to be content with ordinary.

There are no missiles in the stock, but you can install one of the two types of weapons:
First: missile installation. This option without auto-navigation. Rockets are produced 4 pieces with a small delay and the next salvo can only be made after the previous ones explode.
And the second option: homing missiles. Shoot alternately like a helicopter of a savage. That is, you do not need to wait until the previous rocket explodes, such as Buzard.

Test for strength

Take a missile installation and see how many shots can withstand the shark.
The first shot and the shark remained alive, smoke came from the engine
Let’s make another shot. I-and-and shark caught fire, but has not exploded yet. Let’s try to take off. Oddly enough, but the helicopter is still alive. Mm although no – the engine refused. After two hits, the pilot remains alive and may even fly a little away from the place of hostilities or jump out of the booth with parachute.
Well, the third shot, of course, smashed a dying helicopter into shreds

Now let’s try to perform the same actions, but only from a sniper rifle with explosive cartridges.
The shark withstood 6 hits from a sniper rifle, and exploded 7 times. Quite good.

Well, lastly, let’s finge on a helicopter from the tank. The shark was able to withstand only one shot from the tale, and on the second already scattered into pieces. This is an extremely ineffective helicopter against the tank, since it does not have a weapon for this. To do this, you can use savage, or a hydra where there are gloomy cartridges. They will cope with this task at a time.

Let’s summarize:
Shark is an intelligence helicopter designed for hidden actions and is not particularly effective for open hostilities. It can be used to pass various missions where you need to quickly get away from the police. And also in an open session, when you need to hide your mark on the map.
