A funny thing. The helicopters design is russian. They named it akula which in russian means *SHARK* And what does rockstar want us to buy? *SHARK* cards.. See the connection?
The stealth mode is the most powerful weapon ive seen yet. I can easily take anything out including avengers and hunters before they even have a chance to respond. Well worth the money.
The selling point for this thing is the stealth mode, too often the goal is to just not be seen by other players when trying to get from point a to point b
You don't buy an Akula for its offensive capabilities... Its mode to go completely off the radar adds a major element of surprise that can beat any vehicle if coordinated correctly. I would say it's worth it, especially for its trade price, as it's unique. Otherwise solid video!
Exactly what I thought, as the name "stealth chopper" suggests you can sneak right up behind someone and blow them to pieces with the homing rockets. I think this chopper is one of the best.
This has to be the best GTA channel out there. No pointless 10 min videos, quick straight to the point and has everything you need to know in like 3 mins. Well Done :)
I already have an Akula and a Hunter and i believe the akula to be better because you get to pick your battles. You can stay off radar when a hydras coming towards you, or my personal favorite, stalking. What i mean by this is you just follow them from a distance, and then once they get into a vehicle, disable stealth, open fire, and once their dead go back off radar and rinse and repeat. If done correctly it'll be damn near impossible to get hit because you'll be long gone just after a few seconds, which they'll spend respawning
I remember first getting an Akula. I went into stealth, watched this guy in a Hydra griefing these poor lowbies just trying to do a business run. So I decided to sneak up on him while he was preoccupied with trying to blow them up, turned off stealth, locked, and BLAMO! It was great =D
A lot of you are missing the point. The purpose of each new helicopter (or any vehicle, especially weaponized ones) isn't to be better than the one that came before, it's to bring something new to the table. The Savage basically has a death Ray but not much in the way of defense. The Hunter has an explosive passenger cannon, countermeasures, bombs, and can tank missiles and explosions. The Akula can take a few hits, but it can go stealth mode. Even the buzzard has it's perks. The Valkyrie is, and always has been, awful. If you don't like what a helicopter has to offer, don't buy it. But don't get upset because R* opted for variety over objective improvement.
Vivex Agar yeah same. I would also recommend the nightshark if you don’t have it already because it’s only 800k and is 100% worth it. It can take 27 homing missiles before blowing up.
The Akula is a game changer. Yesterday I got it and literally killed 15 people right away using its off the radar ability. No one ever found me because after you get your kill, you go back to stealth and they won't ever know were you are. The best helicopter just because of the stealth feature.
I understand that ur just having fun with ur in game helicopter, but u really are a douche bag if u buy a 4 million dollar in game military chopper just to troll low level people like lvl 50 and below
I only use it offensively against someone if they are hostile towards me, or if they're trying to troll me hard! Trolls deserve to die at the hands of my Khanjali
Ryan Whitehouse I only target high lvl people like 70 and above only because I know that they have a homing launcher, so they have some type of defense but I also target shipment (hanger, bunker, and mc, not ceo cargo because I know it cost 5k just for 1 shipment) because I atleast want a reward out of it. Also I ask Ceo owners and mc presidents if I can join but I never get a invite, so thats their fault I guess.
I use it for crate missions and it is hilarious to stay on radar until someone in their tryhard hydra gets near and then you go off the radar and blow them out of the sky as soon as they are facing the other way and then run for your hangar before they have the chance to respawn and go get another set of wings.. Really, the Akula shows how reliant tryhards and other would be killers are on that minimap, because it kicks that crutch from under their arm and beats them senseless with it... and it never gets old to doing that.
Im glad this didn't make the hunter obsolete. I mean, akula has dual machine guns that can be used by the pilot but are non explosive and the hunter has an explosive one that needs to be controlled by a copilot. Also hunter has both missile types and akula can only use one. Akula has stealth and hunter does not. So I think this lets each mayor attack chopper in the game have a defined role. Savage = tank and anti air Hunter = average mobility and high dps against ground targets Akula = average mobility and stealth Buzzard = fastest mobility possible
Shadow Hedgehog nigga once you hit the that stream of hominf launchers from behind its almost impossible to dodge with any helicopter, Or if you use barragh you can finesse cheeks if your accurate
Hi Bro But what if your first strike misses, then you are out in the open to get locked on by homing missles you can still survive though but with heavy damage
The Akula can legitimately do them as well as a plane if you have some speed. The only time you're going to be hitting the ground is if you ignore hills or fly near/on the deck.
@@TwistedFireX sadly, I think due to how short they are they just cut information from the videos, 1 vid ever 2 days with good, verified information about 5 mins long is better than these rushed 3 minute clips
An interesting trick with the Akula is that, if you’re being chased by the police with a 3+ wanted level, if you activate stealth mode, it’ll drop your wanted level to 2 stars. It also keeps your wanted level from rising over 2. For example; if you fly over the military base in the Akula with Stealth Mode on, you’ll only get 2 stars, instead of 4
Just wanna thank you for making short, simple, informative, honest, no clickbait, no bullshit videos, with no 30 second long ugly 3D intros with dubstep in the background. You have the best GTA Online channel by far mate
What do you expect from a guy who gets billions for free? This is just bullshit to get views, if it really was informative, he would have waited about a week to test it out
Jordi tb for some reason my rogue doesnt feel like the first days i had it. It rarely locks on or when it does lock on the missles explodes before it strikes and the explosive canon is worst just not feeling it no more
I think the Akula has the same relevance as the hunter, it’s just that the Akula is more akin to a submarine (choosing your fights and fighting on your terms) and the Hunter is like a battleship (outstanding frontal assault capability)
Feels like comparing a WoW Warrior vs Rogue if you didn't count stealth and backstab :D Hunter is a Warrior and sure it's a beast straight up.... but wow can the Akula use the stealth to really turn any situation into an opportunistic one :D (or just avoid confrontation all together cuz you don't wanna deal with shit -- remember, it hides you on the minimap even if you have cargo/supplies! great for pve too ... another reason why the WoW analogy works haha) the other big thing is that even tho Hunter can obviously use OTR too but that gets announced and then ppl are looking for it -- with the Akula, no one knows to even look for you :D
keep your content going you are very good and you are one of the few GTA channels I watch. I like that you care about your content. Keep up the good work
The reason to want this heli is stealth, and the reason to want stealth is if you're a dirty thief/pirate. As someone who loves stealing cars, air cargo and anything else I can rip off of unsuspecting MCs, radar invisibility is amazing. I've stolen a lot of cars gliding around in my glider over a vehicle facility. They don't see me on radar so have no idea what's going on when I decide to blast them with the gimbled MG. The helicopter takes it to the next level, as it's much faster, and would let me get in front of my target without them ever seeing me instead of having to hit it from the air. In otherwords, this helicopter is *great* if you're primarily into PVP. A Hunter is way better for all other applications and dog fights.
What's the point of keeping the Hunter if you own an Avenger? If you think about it, despite the Avenger not having rockets for the pilot, they both have similar capabilities but the Avenger is way stronger in terms of taking damage. On top of that, it only needs one gunner for it to be insanely powerful.
ThugGreasy The avenger has an auto-pilot feature, letting it hover on it's own while you can walk to the back and man the gun. With its insane amount of damage resistance, id say you have more than enough time to wipe out the opposition
It’s pretty easy to take down an Avenger with a Hunter, especially with a copilot. If you fly somewhat unpredictably and spam missiles you can take it down. If it’s s solo player in autopilot, hover over it and unload a bunch of cluster bombs.
prod gbc Everything an MOC can do for a third of the price, minus the water. But how would that be advantageous in any way, shape, or form, and why wouldn’t I just buy a Seabreeze?
Librarian Weed No it doesn't, he's one of the few GTA RUclipsrs who doesn't constantly make 10 minute videos. If you want more detail go to MrBossFTW... a fucking horrible GTA RUclipsr.
To be fair, he's been pumping these recent videos out very quickly to try and keep up with the new patch. I've noticed him skipping over a few points in some of the them, but I still think they are very good and much preferable to the likes of MrBossFTW. :)
I kinda agree. I’m not saying he should do like fucking 10+ minute vids but he’s trying to hard to make it short and pump out these videos so he is just missing important info. I think a balance would be good. Like 4-6 minutes
This are in my opinion the best vehicles and a must have in GTA Online. -Avenger -MOC -Terrorbyte -Deluxo -MK II -Akula -Any fast supercar of your choice
Are you out of your mind?????? This heli is GREAT (my oppinion) -,- BTW IT JUST A BUTTON AWAY TO ACTIVATE THE WEAPON THEN U CAN OFF RADAR AGAIN JUST A PRESS OF A BUTTON
I enjoy the stealth abilities of the Akula. I own both the Hunter and the Akula... but I use the Akula more often for the surprise attack feature. In a strait fight the Hunter wins most likely... but in terms of surprising my enemy... Akula has some serious advantages. Not just in attack. In transportation it is advantageous to be able to move you and 4 friends around in stealth to complete missions. I mean seriously... people can't come and ruin your mission if they can't find you. I cannot stress enough how useful this can be.
I do not get answer for the most important question for me. Am i visible for others in stealth mode when carrying packages in missions like stealing MC supplies or not?
Daniyal Mansur that’s stupid and redundant, if the Akula is comparable to the Annihilator then of course it’s going to be slower than the Hunter. And who the fuck would USE an Annihilator for anything
When you think about the two combat choppers and their real life counterparts, it really puts into perspective the differences in timelines. The Hunter was built at a time when technology wasn't the biggest point in combat. It was built to take damage and keep on fighting. The Akula is more modern and uses special tech to help it against other high tech devices which, sadly, makes it a little more vulnerable because it sacrifices thick armor for more technology
After the Buzzard, for different reasons, this was oneof my best buys, you underrated this chopper on this video, no one regrets buying an Akula, I still use the Buzzard for tighter spaces and faster maneuvers but being able to sustain missiles and many many bullets, along with stealth,makes this thing a beast to fear - I use it for bounty hunting - I go ou of stealth when Im ontop of them and the Lock missiles spamming will make sure it does not breath afterwards
keptick well...Thats unrealistic well a youtuber named "gerthunderlord" Said that the defense of the yacht can't shoot you down.Is that true?Sorry for my bad englisch im german;-)
Susann Steininger It good as the Hunter and it's very good sneaking up on opponent as while. You can't see what you can't hit be prepared all time now cause once everyone get the hang of it, this will be a rape!
I just bought it yesterday and spent my hard earned doomsday heist money on it, AND I LOVE IT! Best aircraft I purchased since the hydra, Valkarie, and savage from 2015 heists!
I’m just gonna put some facts down here just because The Akula is based on both the ka-50 and the rah-66 Comanche The Comanche was featured in the 2003 hulk movie but the project was stopped a year later The tail of the Akula isn’t modeled after the Comanche but the tail of the hunter is
One thing he missed that makes this thing godly is that it will also render and cargo you’re carrying in it invisible, so say that package you have to carry? No problem if its a pick up you land grab stealth and boon nobody knows where you are, also rockets dont lock in stealth mode so that much more safety, if you’re looking for a good cargo transport this is definitely the one to grab
Man do you understand the akula is not supposed to be tough cos it's a stealth chopper and they are not supposed to be though and they are expensive so there you go listen to me buy its good if I was pyrealm gaming i would tell people To buy the akula
I personally do not consider it a combat heli. I use it as a armoured, armed and stealthy transport vehicle. You can go abywhere ya need unbothered by griefers (stealth mode) and if they somehow find you you can at least use the missiles to defend yourself. I love it.
I have Both Aircraft an the akula is way better the homing missels are enough to take down nearly any vehicle or aircraft so you don’t need the full firepower of the hunter
this thing is godly attacking yachts during piracy prevention. Fly up high in stealth mode above the yacht, disengage stealth and let passenger finish using twin miniguns and the thing can go fucking vertical so you can barrage rockets directly from above with it.
Wait so you don't appear on the minimap with this helicopter at all. What if your friends are riding with you and they have a bounty on their head do you still appear on the radar
Pyrerealm Gaming Hey m8, been a sub since summer, I’ve been watching your videos since I was level 1 again on ps4, now I’m at lvl 170 with all legit money, no sharkcards/mods. I just wanted to say, make your review videos longer my friend! I know personally, I’d like to hear more of your opinion on certain items. We watch videos for content, not length, I have no problem watching a 5-10 mins video about a Akula for example as long as it’s 5-10 mins of pure solid substance, if you have nothing more to say then that’s okay, but I feel like your condensing these new dlc videos because you think we just want quick convenience. Anyways, good job!
Hunter an akula have same armour. These reviews are getting shit pyrealm. Also the massive advantage of having a akula is that you can basically take anyone out using stealth if you plan it right and your good pilot. It also hides bounties, reduces wanted level, hides cargo, has thermal and night vision in the back seats. Some of the best stuff you forgot to mention.
Here is a quick definitions of both Helicopters: The Hunter is a badass heavily armed helicopter that you should be careful when fighting The Akula is a shadow, it's stealthy, and people never know it's there until it's right on top of them. However, if it gets spotted it will be in some tight ropes since it has no countermeasures
Paywall paywall paywalls, getting real tired of rockstars shit when it comes to new content putting it behind the 3+ million when I'm having a hard enough time to grind my cash by myself
I actually really like this helicopter, The stealth ability is really useful to just sneak up on people because almost everyone is flying around in a avenger atm and it makes it way easier to take them down if your not on their map.
This thing fills the niche of a stealth taxi, a roll unsuitable by anything else. The only other stealth vehicle is the Ultralight, which has only 1 seat and flies slow. Could be handy in hostile lobbies, stealth insertions, or stealth extractions without needing ghost organization (or worse, the all-call saying that someone is ghosted). It does have the same health as the Hunter. Use this for defense, evasion, and taxi, while the Hunter is better at raw combat.
Thing is, this thing is op. When you do business battles, free mode missions, resupply missions or anything in which a blip is created on the map so people can come and kill you, turn the akula into stealth mode and no one can see those bonus blips! This means you can resupply you businesses stress free!
The Hunter and Savage have the disadvantage of players being able to know where you are attacking. The ability to sneak up on the Hunters and Savages allow for better air combat and less damage before and after attacks. Also players can run away if they are picked up in the Akula but you can see where the player "disappeared" to find the Akula and destroy it.
Papa Andru it has a built in countermeasure its stealth mode if you use it right you won't need flairs or chaff because no one will know where you are.
Hendrik Berndt mate, it's still a helicopter, it's not invisible and it was tested and it only takes 1 homing missile to take it down so once you're seen its game over
Papa Andru but why spend money for being able to go off radar for 2 minutes and have a cool down timer when you can do it for free and consistently and if you get close enough like fly high above a target and drop in from where they can't look up and bomb them then go back into stealth mode and do it again if you can time it all perfectly you won't have to worry about homing launchers at all
A funny thing. The helicopters design is russian. They named it akula which in russian means *SHARK*
And what does rockstar want us to buy? *SHARK* cards.. See the connection?
Edwin Sanchez nope? I know russian a little bit and I found it funny when I found this out
My god! I can see it now the rain has gone!
Coincidence?
Alex CoC & Cr Mayby its ironic?
Because it's based off the KA 50 Blackshark?
The Hunter might be a lot better in terms of firepower but the Akula just looks way better if you ask me and that stealth mode seems like a blessing.
Arcuz Definitely mate. I'll be getting it when there's a discount on hate waiting it out though
Nice! I would get it too if I'd still play GTAO actively. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Easier Crate and MC supply runs.
The stealth mode is the most powerful weapon ive seen yet. I can easily take anything out including avengers and hunters before they even have a chance to respond. Well worth the money.
Arcuz u right
The selling point for this thing is the stealth mode, too often the goal is to just not be seen by other players when trying to get from point a to point b
^^^ I would buy a shopping cart if it could off radar
Turbo stealth shopping cart with explosive cannons.
Shopping Cart: $600,000
Final answer ... Hydra, no need for stealth lol, just fly high and Dodge missile s
They have a flying shopping cart. It's called the Ultralight. And it can go off radar.
You don't buy an Akula for its offensive capabilities... Its mode to go completely off the radar adds a major element of surprise that can beat any vehicle if coordinated correctly. I would say it's worth it, especially for its trade price, as it's unique. Otherwise solid video!

Ollie Wainwright Not to mention it’s really easy to unlock the trade price as it’s one of the first missions you perform in the new heists.

Four Seven Niner dude you just summed up the entire debate of " which is the best heli" in this comment.
Basically a troll heli haha
the backseat passengers can control thermal and night vision cameras and can "mark" a target player with a dot above their head.

Does the hunter have bombs too?
mrcomp yes
yes it does
mrcomp the akula has bombs as well
mrcomp the only downfall of the akula is the lack of countermeasures
Daniel Griffith as well as having a weaker barrage (4 rockets per burst instead of 7)
Best thing about these videos is this guy doesn't ramble on for an eternity like the other GTA content creators.
Ability to go stealth for as long as you want, whenever you want. "I wouldnt really recommend this heli" WHAT?!?!?! *facepalm*
And you aren't paying for a 1 minute hide

DO A TEST TO SEE IF ROCKETS CAN LOCK ON TO IT WHEN IN STEALTH MODE!

I tried to take one down with my rogue. It didnt lock on. So stealth must work i guess.
I got locked on to when I used it

Straight to the point. You and Central Gaming Hub are my favorite gta RUclipsrs
I think the Akula has the same relevance as the hunter, it’s just that the Akula is more akin to a submarine (choosing your fights and fighting on your terms) and the Hunter is like a battleship (outstanding frontal assault capability)
I like how he kept it all quick, and simple. Unlike every RUclipsr ever.
Ok, after 3 consecutive videos of yours I can get to a point
"Hmm, no vehicle is worth buying"
SO glad you reviewed this sooner than later! I don't buy anything i'm on the fence about until you review it
Feels like comparing a WoW Warrior vs Rogue if you didn't count stealth and backstab :D
Hunter is a Warrior and sure it's a beast straight up.... but wow can the Akula use the stealth to really turn any situation into an opportunistic one :D
(or just avoid confrontation all together cuz you don't wanna deal with shit -- remember, it hides you on the minimap even if you have cargo/supplies! great for pve too ... another reason why the WoW analogy works haha)
the other big thing is that even tho Hunter can obviously use OTR too but that gets announced and then ppl are looking for it -- with the Akula, no one knows to even look for you :D
Dude I love you so much. I now know everything about the new vehicles, and it took like 10min. Just keep doing that :D
This is the *BEST* attack helicopter.

When I fly the helicopter without the misses it feels like I'm flying a chopper with no arms
Yes so true
best reviews thanks for including how much damage can be taken seeing as no other yt could do that even tho its a major thing to know

Helicopter: stealth from the radar
Those who do solo public sessions: this is useless to me
The reason to want this heli is stealth, and the reason to want stealth is if you're a dirty thief/pirate. As someone who loves stealing cars, air cargo and anything else I can rip off of unsuspecting MCs, radar invisibility is amazing.

In otherwords, this helicopter is *great* if you're primarily into PVP. A Hunter is way better for all other applications and dog fights.
Robert Riter you can't use the weapons when in stealth mode but you can get close enough they won't have time to react to what's happening
I would be able to hear a Akula behind me, they're not quiet so my sniper would destroy you quite fast.
Robert Riter Oh youre one of those people
Awesome thanks. This will be my next purchase : ) 3 rockets before destruction is great enough, even if the other is better. It's faster is it?
that's lots of videos going on today
BTW: I Don't play GTA online but I watch your videos and like them cuz I love them and I wanna support you
Face it each heli has theyr own abilities. It depends on what situation ur using it at
dark gaming knight Except the Valkyrie and Annihilator. Those are pretty useless.
Love your content short and precise
What's the point of keeping the Hunter if you own an Avenger? If you think about it, despite the Avenger not having rockets for the pilot, they both have similar capabilities but the Avenger is way stronger in terms of taking damage. On top of that, it only needs one gunner for it to be insanely powerful.
You can use the Hunter's missiles solo. You need extra crew members to make the Avenger work.
ThugGreasy Yes and also the Hunter needs a passenger for to make use of the deadly cannons.
ThugGreasy The avenger has an auto-pilot feature, letting it hover on it's own while you can walk to the back and man the gun. With its insane amount of damage resistance, id say you have more than enough time to wipe out the opposition
It’s pretty easy to take down an Avenger with a Hunter, especially with a copilot. If you fly somewhat unpredictably and spam missiles you can take it down. If it’s s solo player in autopilot, hover over it and unload a bunch of cluster bombs.
prod gbc Everything an MOC can do for a third of the price, minus the water. But how would that be advantageous in any way, shape, or form, and why wouldn’t I just buy a Seabreeze?
I wish it had an option to use both homing and free aim missiles takin out opmk2's with barrage is difficult
Akula is my favourite
Looks like the FH-1 Hunter has a new brother, and the surgeon says "it's a stealth attack chopper..? But great job!!!"
This might sound ironic since everyone is complementing you for this but I think your videos are too short
I agree, it needs more detail in my opinion.
Librarian Weed No it doesn't, he's one of the few GTA RUclipsrs who doesn't constantly make 10 minute videos. If you want more detail go to MrBossFTW... a fucking horrible GTA RUclipsr.
To be fair, he's been pumping these recent videos out very quickly to try and keep up with the new patch. I've noticed him skipping over a few points in some of the them, but I still think they are very good and much preferable to the likes of MrBossFTW. :)
I just enjoy his content and would prefer longer videos
I kinda agree. I’m not saying he should do like fucking 10+ minute vids but he’s trying to hard to make it short and pump out these videos so he is just missing important info. I think a balance would be good. Like 4-6 minutes
It’s on sale for 1.3 mil for right now! Buy it if you’re reading this!
This are in my opinion the best vehicles and a must have in GTA Online.
-Avenger
-MOC
-Terrorbyte
-Deluxo
-MK II
-Akula
-Any fast supercar of your choice
I like the akula in my opinion the stealth features really help a lot
Are you out of your mind?????? This heli is GREAT (my oppinion) -,- BTW IT JUST A BUTTON AWAY TO ACTIVATE THE WEAPON THEN U CAN OFF RADAR AGAIN JUST A PRESS OF A BUTTON
I enjoy the stealth abilities of the Akula. I own both the Hunter and the Akula... but I use the Akula more often for the surprise attack feature. In a strait fight the Hunter wins most likely... but in terms of surprising my enemy... Akula has some serious advantages. Not just in attack. In transportation it is advantageous to be able to move you and 4 friends around in stealth to complete missions. I mean seriously... people can't come and ruin your mission if they can't find you. I cannot stress enough how useful this can be.
I think we came ways to far not to give helicopter flares at this point to defend against no skill homing launchers, still prefer the hunter 😅
Paladin When you are in stealth mode the missles can't lock onto you... The same with the yacht aa canons...
Susann Steininger yes they can stealth mode just hides your weapon and makes you go off radar
Susann Steininger so it's basically god mode
Susann you can still lock on to the Akula while it's in stealth. Believe me I know. lol
With such an agile Helicopter, Dodging missles is on you. Countermeasures are for taking off a missle so you aren't lead into a trap.
Almost every vehicle review by Pyreal:
"Mmm I wouldn't really recommend it to be honest..."
lol
0:28 hol' up, did the handling upgrade SLAM the landing gear? Wtf
Mellow Baton no it's just the camera moved
Mellow Baton yeah I know
Finally someone made a video on this heli
I do not get answer for the most important question for me. Am i visible for others in stealth mode when carrying packages in missions like stealing MC supplies or not?
You are on radar
No
The other players cant see u on stealth mode if u are carrying suplies.
Topias Miettinen they dont see you but they see the blinking supplies
So he’s off the radar but you still see the supplies moving while he has them?
The invisibility on the map makes it one of the best war vehicle ever!
Where are the races pyrerealm???!!!
Daniyal Mansur that’s stupid and redundant, if the Akula is comparable to the Annihilator then of course it’s going to be slower than the Hunter. And who the fuck would USE an Annihilator for anything
Akula is decent in maneuverability, but the Hunter is faster and more agile. But seeing the two race would be interesting.
When you think about the two combat choppers and their real life counterparts, it really puts into perspective the differences in timelines. The Hunter was built at a time when technology wasn't the biggest point in combat. It was built to take damage and keep on fighting. The Akula is more modern and uses special tech to help it against other high tech devices which, sadly, makes it a little more vulnerable because it sacrifices thick armor for more technology
1:59 RIP
The fast forwarding at 1:57 makes it look like the rocket blew everyone away
Idc,its a MOTHERLAND HELI
Nerfiy but its American 😂
You know what’s better than motherland...
*HOLY LAND!*
aWildHooman It's based off the comanche helicopter
aWildHooman dude search up the Comanche it looks extremely similar to it
aWildHooman it's gta, they don't make half of their vehicles look exactly like real life, they always add something extra, but I get what you saying
After the Buzzard, for different reasons, this was oneof my best buys, you underrated this chopper on this video, no one regrets buying an Akula, I still use the Buzzard for tighter spaces and faster maneuvers but being able to sustain missiles and many many bullets, along with stealth,makes this thing a beast to fear - I use it for bounty hunting - I go ou of stealth when Im ontop of them and the Lock missiles spamming will make sure it does not breath afterwards
Akula is way better! When you go in stealth mode homing missles can't lock onto you!
Susann Steininger I've read from multiple sources that missiles can still lock on, unfortunately. It'd be a bit too OP otherwise hahaha
keptick well...Thats unrealistic well a youtuber named "gerthunderlord" Said that the defense of the yacht can't shoot you down.Is that true?Sorry for my bad englisch im german;-)
No even in stealth mode the yacht can shoot you down (not 100% sure but i think it's like that)
Susann Steininger It good as the Hunter and it's very good sneaking up on opponent as while. You can't see what you can't hit be prepared all time now cause once everyone get the hang of it, this will be a rape!
Crayola Hornets (sigh) Freemode just getting better and better...
Really helpful... thank you 😊 👍🏻
Best purchase I ever made in the game.
I just bought it yesterday and spent my hard earned doomsday heist money on it, AND I LOVE IT! Best aircraft I purchased since the hydra, Valkarie, and savage from 2015 heists!
I’m just gonna put some facts down here just because
The Akula is based on both the ka-50 and the rah-66 Comanche
The Comanche was featured in the 2003 hulk movie but the project was stopped a year later
The tail of the Akula isn’t modeled after the Comanche but the tail of the hunter is
You should do a battle royale with all the new vehicles for a fun test against other contenders.
Thumbs up if you agree.
I'm a new subscriber.
One thing he missed that makes this thing godly is that it will also render and cargo you’re carrying in it invisible, so say that package you have to carry? No problem if its a pick up you land grab stealth and boon nobody knows where you are, also rockets dont lock in stealth mode so that much more safety, if you’re looking for a good cargo transport this is definitely the one to grab
THIS THING IS WAY OVER POWERED I WAS IN BUZZARD DEAD, SAVAGE DEAD, HUNTER DEAD (I AM 160 LVL)
You never saw it coming
Look at this man, putting homing missiles on his Akula...
Man do you understand the akula is not supposed to be tough cos it's a stealth chopper and they are not supposed to be though and they are expensive so there you go listen to me buy its good if I was pyrealm gaming i would tell people
To buy the akula
I personally do not consider it a combat heli. I use it as a armoured, armed and stealthy transport vehicle. You can go abywhere ya need unbothered by griefers (stealth mode) and if they somehow find you you can at least use the missiles to defend yourself. I love it.
It's pronounced uh-kewl-ah no ahhk-ula.
why does it matter?
Daniel Champoux don’t be that guy
WP but how is it not more annoying to correct people's pronounciations of words that don't have a single pronounciation?
No one pertinent gives a shit, Sloyven
SIoyvenheaven1 they r the same m8 😂😂😂
NICE!! You got more views than idiotic’s Akula vs hunter video! Keep on going you will reach 500k one day
I have Both Aircraft an the akula is way better the homing missels are enough to take down nearly any vehicle or aircraft so you don’t need the full firepower of the hunter
this thing is godly attacking yachts during piracy prevention. Fly up high in stealth mode above the yacht, disengage stealth and let passenger finish using twin miniguns and the thing can go fucking vertical so you can barrage rockets directly from above with it.
Wait so you don't appear on the minimap with this helicopter at all. What if your friends are riding with you and they have a bounty on their head do you still appear on the radar
hmm good question!?
If you are in the chopper you are hidden.
So I could use this for bounty's too if I have one
Yes it hides people with bounties, I am exploring if it hides people doing supply runs for bunkers or warehouses when they are in the chopper
VegaTheGamer Got anywhere with that yet? I wanna know
Pyrerealm Gaming Hey m8, been a sub since summer, I’ve been watching your videos since I was level 1 again on ps4, now I’m at lvl 170 with all legit money, no sharkcards/mods. I just wanted to say, make your review videos longer my friend! I know personally, I’d like to hear more of your opinion on certain items. We watch videos for content, not length, I have no problem watching a 5-10 mins video about a Akula for example as long as it’s 5-10 mins of pure solid substance, if you have nothing more to say then that’s okay, but I feel like your condensing these new dlc videos because you think we just want quick convenience. Anyways, good job!
Hunter an akula have same armour. These reviews are getting shit pyrealm. Also the massive advantage of having a akula is that you can basically take anyone out using stealth if you plan it right and your good pilot. It also hides bounties, reduces wanted level, hides cargo, has thermal and night vision in the back seats. Some of the best stuff you forgot to mention.
Here is a quick definitions of both Helicopters:
The Hunter is a badass heavily armed helicopter that you should be careful when fighting
The Akula is a shadow, it's stealthy, and people never know it's there until it's right on top of them. However, if it gets spotted it will be in some tight ropes since it has no countermeasures
I find it better than the hunter
I have the akula and it’s perfect, stealth mode hides you very well and even if somebody tries to shoot you down you are agile enough to react
So do you say it, a ke laaaa, or a kuuuu la
A kuuuu la
akula
Aaron Lariosa I
I just have to say 2 things 1. The hunter has the same armor as the akula 2. The akula is my favorite aircraft in the game
Paywall paywall paywalls, getting real tired of rockstars shit when it comes to new content putting it behind the 3+ million when I'm having a hard enough time to grind my cash by myself
I actually really like this helicopter,
The stealth ability is really useful to just sneak up on people because almost everyone is flying around in a avenger atm and it makes it way easier to take them down if your not on their map.
Why get into a battle when you can ovoid one 🤔
Why get into one when you can end one instantly ,😗
dude those cars are like 'naa nothing interesting happening here just an attack heli firing a zillion missiles on to the road'
Is this better than the Hunter?
No HUNTER IS KING
Mixed Hunter for full force attack and the akula for surprise attacks like sneaking up to mrbossftw and KILLING HIS ARSE
ELEMENTAL DELTA hell no
Yes FAQ HUNTER RUSSIA🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
Yes I love it. It has gotten my friends and I out of many sticky situations.
Akula is massive and easy to spot, unless it's super high which means it can't lock onto you, the hunter can drop bombs from above
If you're reviews are going to be half-assed please stop doing them...
Would you prefer full ass?
Pyrerealm gaming yes daddy
This thing fills the niche of a stealth taxi, a roll unsuitable by anything else. The only other stealth vehicle is the Ultralight, which has only 1 seat and flies slow.
Could be handy in hostile lobbies, stealth insertions, or stealth extractions without needing ghost organization (or worse, the all-call saying that someone is ghosted).
It does have the same health as the Hunter. Use this for defense, evasion, and taxi, while the Hunter is better at raw combat.
If you were a skilled player like I am you would love this chopper.
Örvar Friðriksson "like i am"
Örvar Friðriksson how skilled r u
Örvar Friðriksson how “skilled” are u then
“like I am” LMFAO
LMAO 😂
Yay new Pryrealm video LIKE
Radar
Weezy F Turles it can go stealthmode and disappear from radar
Wheezy F turtles- ^^^ what he said
Thing is, this thing is op. When you do business battles, free mode missions, resupply missions or anything in which a blip is created on the map so people can come and kill you, turn the akula into stealth mode and no one can see those bonus blips! This means you can resupply you businesses stress free!
It’s pronounced the a-cool-a
Yup
i-cool-a
It's Russian so it's pronounced like that
The Hunter and Savage have the disadvantage of players being able to know where you are attacking. The ability to sneak up on the Hunters and Savages allow for better air combat and less damage before and after attacks. Also players can run away if they are picked up in the Akula but you can see where the player "disappeared" to find the Akula and destroy it.
I'm never buying this thing, the fact that you can't put countermeasures on it completely kills it
Papa Andru it has a built in countermeasure its stealth mode if you use it right you won't need flairs or chaff because no one will know where you are.
Hendrik Berndt mate, it's still a helicopter, it's not invisible and it was tested and it only takes 1 homing missile to take it down so once you're seen its game over
Samuel Poyner I'd much rather just go off the radar and still have access to my weapons in a hunter
Papa Andru but why spend money for being able to go off radar for 2 minutes and have a cool down timer when you can do it for free and consistently and if you get close enough like fly high above a target and drop in from where they can't look up and bomb them then go back into stealth mode and do it again if you can time it all perfectly you won't have to worry about homing launchers at all
Samuel Poyner and when there's more than 1 person in the area and you can't bomb all of them? You get seen and shot down
