Boeing

5.0

(32)

"The AH64E is a mind blowing helicopter to call in."

"The advancements made to the Apache in the D and E models especially the E make it no contest."

"Any answer other than AH-64D is wrong"

"Apache by FAR"

"Apache, and it isn’t close"

"Apache hands down!!!!"

"Definitely the AH-64D"

"It’s the Apache the OG."

"Apache and it’s not even close."

"AH-64E is the latest."

GTA

4.0

(24)

"That stealth feature is hard to beat."

"It’s line for line better than the buzzard."

"A force that can be hard to deal with."

"One of my favorites ! He's fast, his homing missiles are really good."

"1.75 mil and it can spawn right next to you as a ceo."

"Akula gets the edge for solo and business battles."

"Easily accessible for newbies"

"Nose gun and rockets plus chaff is dangerous, think it takes two rockets"

"Stealth mode hides you and your sourced supplies"

"Speed and maneuverability"

AH-64 Apache

4.8

(13)

"AH-64 definitely wins for targeted missions, as well as survivability."

"The apache is one scary ass helicopter. Would not want to be a bad guy."

"The Apache will always be my go-to for AH."

"The Boeing AH-64 Apache."

"Apache by far. The standoff capability of the longbow radar + Lima Hellfires."

"Capability... Would definitely go for the AH-64 Apache."

"Definitely Apache."

"The AH64 Apache is basically a spaceship, it has so many high tech features it feels sureal"

"...it was hands down the -64, even over the Marine Cobra."

"AH-64. Next question."

Ka-52

4.3

(14)

"Ka 52, every time"

"Ka-52 got those ejection seats."

"Ka52 no doubts."

"The Ka-52 is better and it's not much of a contest."

"I believe the ka52 is better in terms of capabilities in a major war."

"My dad was in the army in the cold war and he said those ka-52 alligators were some heavily armored motherfuckers."

"At least you can eject from the KA-52, Apache still lacks that ability"

"AH-64E is by almost all means a better attack helicopter."

"The Ka-52 is the only helicopter I know of that has ejection seats for its crew."

"In terms for usability and survivability the ka52 is the best helicopter in the world."

Hunter

4.6

(13)

"The Hunter-1 chopper with a friend on the gun is amazing against ground targets"

"Hunter has to be my favorite. It's good for solo and OP as a duo."

"3-way tie between the akula, hunter, and savage, they are all equally fun to use."

"The hunter is what you want. It's easily the strongest helo overall with bombs, barrage missiles, homing missiles, countermeasures, and if you have a second player with you, an explosive machine gun."

"For PvP I'd go with the Hunter. Countermeasures, bombs and 7 rocket barrage makes it quite handy."

"If you want firepower get the hunter"

"Hunter's good. I used my Akula yesterday, destroyed that gang termination on Braddock farm."

"Definitely hunter for griefers or obvious attacking it a fcking death machine but akula is very good too"

"The best in firepower for solo player can still be Hunter, but you won't have the cannon."

"I mostly use the Hunter for PvE. It has great armor and the best weapons."

Apache

4.8

(11)

"The Apache is better equipped, more maneuverable and much more deadly."

"Until you see an apache in action you won't understand. It's un-fucking-real."

"I know which u would rather be in"

"As a 3x Iraq vet the Apache will swoop in and take out a whole town in one swoop."

"Apache"

"Apache but I’m an army dog so I’m biased lol"

"Apache just looks SO menacing. Love it"

"Apache with a Longbow"

"Apache"

Savage

4.3

(11)

"Savage in the right hands is lethal.."

"3-way tie between the akula, hunter, and savage, they are all equally fun to use."

"For PvE the Savage is a beast with the autocannon."

"The Savage is a total savage in my opinion."

"The savage is probably the best option purely for ground targets since it's explosive cannon range is so short."

"The savage has a lot of firepower because of the explosive cannon and its relatively cheap(2.6 million without the trade price)."

"So I'd say good old Savage, but it won't withstand much in terms of enemy fire. But you have rockets and explo cannon, I use it often for missions."

"Savage - Explosive cannon - Missiles - four seater."

"Perhaps the Savage, a bit more expensive than the buzzard but has fast missle reload and explosive front minigun that makes mince meat out of everything it touches."

"Why’s nobody saying savage? you don’t need a hangar to own one, the missiles and explosive cannon come pre installed, it’s pretty quick, and it’s only $2m."

Bell

4.1

(11)

"Super cobra wins all"

"AH-1Z"

"Cobra, my dudes"

"Ah-1Z hands down."

"I prefer the AH-1 King Cobra, for no other reason than they look really cool"

"AH-1Z"

"I love the AH-1Z due to my Battlefield days."

"Best looking: AH-1 AH-64 is probably the best at doing the job though."

"I love me some Zulu cobra but the apache is absolutely the best bird of those on offer."

"The Zulu Cobra is amazing, the original Attack Helicopter"

Apache AH-64

4.9

(9)

"The Apache has close to 5 decades of upgrades."

"The Apache has the best electronic weapons system package by a decade at least."

"Its sensor sweet is unparalleled by any other nations helicopter."

"It's hands-down the most advanced & capable attack helicopter in the world."

"APACHE ALL WAYS"

"I like the cargo bob, apache, and the mil mi-17"

"Thousands of Apaches built, dozens of countries defense ministries investing billions of dollars for their future attack programs."

"Best combination of modern engines, avionics, integrated weapons, sensors, communications, and defensive systems."

"There’s way newer and better versions of the Apache now than the D model"

#10

Buzzard

4.3

(10)

"Best all around I'd probably argue for the buzzard."

"The Buzzard hasn't let me down once in all these years."

"The Buzzard is probably the best overall helicopter for a pve player. Its main trump card is that you can instantly call it with the CEO, even if it is out."

"Unlimited missiles (guided or aimed) and a machine gun. And as mentioned, landing is crucial sometimes, and I land it almost anywhere I can land my Oppressor."

"The buzzards handy as you can spawn it right next to you through the CEO vehicles, has homing missiles as well as regular missiles and machine guns."

"I'm saying the Buzzard because the best weaponized helicopter is the one that's close at hand."

"Buzzard is a must, using ceo vehicles you can spawn one next to you if you need a quick lift or fire power, and its failry agile."

"For grinding Buzzard / Sparrow is optimal as you can request both of them quickly via Interaction Menu."

"Buzzard. Super easy to handle and pretty fast. If you’re good enough, you can land almost anywhere."

"I run the buzzard, I find the sparrow to be a little too fragile."

#11

Akula

4.8

(8)

"Akula. Can take a couple of rockets and has stealth."

"You asked about the best "attack" helicopter. Given that criteria; Akula."

"3-way tie between the akula, hunter, and savage, they are all equally fun to use."

"Akula or Hunter. Most prefer Akula, but Hunter is damn fun, especially with barrage."

"For PVE, specifically doing anything where you need to lose the cops, the Akula is king IMO. As soon as you engage stealth mode your wanted level drops to 2 stars, so no police choppers."

"Akula is the best choice because of the stealth mode."

"Akula for stealth"

"The akula is great for stealth and doing missions."

Rooivalk

4.2

(6)

"Best idk, but as a South African the Rooivalk will always be my favorite 😂"

"Rooivalk"

"Rooivalk, screw you all"

"Rooivalk."

"The South African Rooivalk should also be considered."

"Rooivalk."

#13

RAH-66 Comanche

4.4

(5)

"None of the above RAH-66 Commanche is the correct answer."

"The RAH-66 will always take the first place in my heart."

"Although cancelled, I am still a fan of the RAH-66 Comanche."

"Comanche. It looks cool af!"

"Comanche, easily."

#14

Cobra

4.8

(4)

"COBRA"

"The cobra will always be the most handsome attack helicopter."

"The best looking one is definitely the Cobra"

"Cobra"

#15

Denel

4.5

(4)

"South African Rooivalk (can be fixed in the middle of no where with a few tools by almost anyone)"

"Denel Rooivalk"

"Rooivalk, just to say something different."

"What happened to Rooivalk is a shame. Lots of potential."

#16

Sparrow

4.3

(4)

"Sparrow, can spawn it anywhere like a car, has some killer homing rockets, faster than buzzard."

"Sparrow is better than the Buzzard."

"Sparrow for spawns and it's agility..."

"The Sparrow is the second best. It can be called next to you like the Buzzard, but you do have to return it and recall it so it is less convenient. It is also very fragile."
