  • My in depth review of the 'new' Sparrow helicopter that was released in the Cayo Perico Heist Update for GTA 5 Online. It brings some insane utility to the game for transportation and even has a very unique feature about it.

      I looked into this myself, the Sea Sparrow's floaties are literally just wide enough to not fit honestly. Wish they made it just a tad bigger though. They could have made the moonpool area a little bigger but I guess they decided against it or were too lazy. Would have been much better to be able to park the Sea Sparrow in there. Not to mention the kosatka setup for the jammer, landing on the water instead of on a nearby island.

      Fr. I got it because I found that helis are workhorses and make it easy to travel (like from the yacht or CEO building). I was RIGHT. Doing the Cayo Perico set ups are a breeze because of how fast and agile it is, and the submarine being spawned around the map makes for a great mobile helipad. It's expensive, but a damn fine investment.

With the sparrow you can just approach the sub full speed and spamming E to enter it and you go right in, unlike if you were to park something up top you need to get out, get in the sub, start the mission, get out of the sub and run/swim all the way to the back to be able to climb up where you left the mk2.

      It's pretty exciting when your sparrow is smoking and starting to fail, and you're making a last dash to the submarine.
      Also, a neat trick is to fly low towards your sub, spin it so it is basically drifting while facing the same direction as the sub, and just spam the button you use to enter the sub. It literally stops you mid-flight and brings you in. I've managed to outrun a few Oppressor Griefers using this trick.

    Great video man totally agree on the sparrow I love it but one thing to mention is unlike the buzzard once you've called it to you it can't be called back again if for example you had to drive a vehicle somewhere after landing. The fixes are to either destroy it when you know you've got to drive away from it, return to storage and call it again(but there's a delay on this) or just call your buzzard instead :)

    Only negative of the sparrow I have to say is the landing gear. Unlike all other choppers with "normal" landing gear, the sparrow doesn't flex at all, no matter how delicately you land, it does a horrible clunk and the chopper takes a bit of damage. The damage isn't an issue really but other choppers are way easier and nicer to land because of this.

The Sparrow is small but it's long tail and its sensitive handling still make it kinda clunky when you want to land at some narrow space, unlike the Buzzard. I'm glad that I can now spawn 2 helicopters instantly in front of my face. It’s just so convinient now.

      As someone who has been flying helicopters & planes since day one, the sparrow replaces the buzzard. The extra sensitivity is what was really needed for a helicopter in order to have better movement. The sparrow is a helicopter meant for ace pilots or pilot-preferred players who know how to handle helicopters very well, while the buzzard is user-friendly and can be used by even someone who rarely flies helicopters, and this is another reason why I prefer the sparrow over the buzzard. As for the landing, I’ve only seen complaints about it from people who don’t know how to handle helicopters very well and rely too much on the wheels that such helicopters like the Savage have

I think it's more of a personal preference

    • @alexpreface
      @alexpreface Pƙed 3 lety

      The Buzzard still maintains relevancy for one reason. The upfront cost.
      It's still going to be a must-have purchase for the new player's shopping list simply because it's far more affordable.
      While yes, both the Buzzard and Sparrow cost 1.8 million dollars; consider the following.
      In order to get access to the Sparrow, you have to purchase a Penthouse from the Diamond Casino and Resort (This is because in order to purchase the Kosatka, players have to speak with Miguel Madrazo who is going to be in the VIP area of the Music Locker, thus requiring you to purchase the Penthouse).
      Then you have to purchase the Kosatka itself and the Sparrow, then spend an additional fee of $240,000 to attach the Sparrow's missile launcher.
      In total, you have to pay $5.5 Million Dollars just to get the Sparrow.
      Compare that to the Buzzard which has a flat $1.8 Million dollar cost. If the player is smart with their money, they can purchase the cheapest High-End Apartment, Complete the first heist to make back the cost of the Apartment, then spend their money on both a Bunker and Buzzard to maximize payouts while they do heists.
      The Cayo Perico Heist, if done ENTIRELY solo, requires the new player to do all the prep missions with nothing but a Special Carbine and then complete the heist optimally. Ideally, you'd get 1.1 million dollars for the Madrazo files and an additional payout of roughly $400k - $500k if you complete the Elite Challenge and get a full bag of Cocaine without getting shot at. Not even close enough to offset the sheer cost of acquiring the Sparrow and it requires the new player to have the same level of competency as a high level grinder; relatively unreasonable to expect for them.
      So while the Sparrow is superior to the Buzzard, it's still not economically viable for those starting out, thus the Buzzard retains relevancy in the early game, while the Sparrow is viable for late game players.

    Would like to see 2 quality of life changes to the Sparrow:
    1. 15-30 second godmode from time of spawn, similar to what was given to the CEO Buzzard. Sometimes the Sparrow will spawn between two buildings or light poles for instance, and it will insta-destroy as soon as you enter it without any other options besides returning it and waiting for the cool down.
    2. Would like to see actual landing feet. I know this was a lazily chop-the-legs-off the Sea Sparrow model, but they should add the proper helicopter landing legs to ease the landings a bit like every other chopper (Buzzard, Frogger, Maverick, etc)
