Helicopters or Airplanes?

[Rockhem]

What air transportation do you prefer, helicopters, or airplanes?

My opinion is that I prefer airplanes whenever I can, because they are much more fun and cool. I only use a helicopter when I have to, when where I am going doesn't have enough space to land a plane, or doesn't have a runway. My gripe though, is that no matter what you fly, the airplanes and helicopters feel a bit too much arcadey, and that isn't good to me.

So what do you prefer?

I prefer helicopters to be honest. Although airplanes are better, I feel like wasting my time trying to fly it. Helicopters are easier to fly and control than airplanes.

Helicopters, I think. They're just so much easier to control and you can land almost anywhere, but with that being said, planes are good for long distance travel across the map. Helicopters cannot travel as fast as planes.

I would say airplanes for derping around or covering distance. I like it too to fly with helicopters, and then to challenge myself to fly as low and as close to buildings as possible. Most of the time, I end up dead because of that, but oh well, it's a nice challenge.

I like both equally for different tasks but I personally prefer flying helicopters a bit more just because I find them a little easier to maneuver. Planes are just as good but I just like the controls of helicopters a bit more and I like that I can land on any flat surface without the need for a runway.

Personally I love flying the helicopter because it is fun and not very hard to use but the airplane is super fun to fly. helis are just so much more convenient and that is why I love them more over the airplanes. But you can never go wrong with either one.

I prefer helicopters over airplanes simply because of their ease of use. If you want to use an airplane you have to be prepared to land in specific areas or just crash it once you get to your destination. Aside from that, if you want something with some firepower it's much easier to get a buzzard than a jet at Zancudo.

I like the helicopters better, because they are more fun to move around in. The planes don't have as much moveability and in general the controls are a lot worse. Besides when I use the helicopter I feel like an action star.

Airplanes go much faster and higher, and you can do much more silly things with them!

 

[Yosostupid]

Helicopters are much more versatile, and you can land them on buildings and in smaller areas much better. Airplanes are for long range travel and stunts, which aren't really my thing.

The helicopters are a far better option compared to airplanes, although there is a bit of a learning curve. If you can maneuver them properly, helicopters will land just about anywhere and get you through tight situations.

Loved helicopters over airplanes and here's why:

Timing. That's right, timing. With the planes from the previous installments, you have to maintain altitude, just the SLIGHTEST tilt could throw you off, and landing...Oh my God, landing! Do you know how many times I had to go through that landing part on San Andres JUST to get pass that tutorial?!

But that's the challenge of the airplanes, landing without making it crash. You'd have to try over and over again untill you became a pro with the skill to land an airplane. If you're able to land smoothly on GTA, you can show off to your friends, because not everybody can do a good landing with a plane.

I'm just glad to scrap by, friend. I'll leave the showing off to the pros, I just want to play my game, you know?

 

[Kracer]

This is a hard decision to make. I think it depends on what you want to do at the time. Sometimes you want quick transport and the smart choice would be a plane. But then you may need something agile for other various purposes and a helicopter would be perfect. I think in the end I prefer using helicopters the most for versatility purposes.

 

[niiro17]

I love using Helicopters than Airplanes. Airplanes are needed to have a lot of space and since Helicopters don't. But I love using Jets the most.

 

[JessiFox]

I think the helicopters are more fun to play and easier to control, plus you can land them anywhere and don't have t worry in the same way that you do with the airplanes. I just like air travel in general though

 

[mkCampbell]

I like the airplanes, fast, covers distance - but I do like landing where you can with a helicopter. I think I have more luck with the airplanes.

Me too, wind up trying some Tom Cruise Top Gun moves and the next thing you know my flyby ends in a fireball! Crashed a bunch doing that but it's fun... at least in the game when you can start over again that is!!

Helicopters obviously offer more maneuverability, and the Buzzard is the ultimate bounty-hunting-machine, but planes are still a lot of fun. I love doing barrel rolls in my Lazer.
