is the Savage still worth buying nowadays?

[?¿]

I like the fact that a heli has a explosive MG. thats why. I know it's for ground targets. easy kills for MK. II bla bla but what are your guys opinions?

[BlazeD]

Sure. If you have a buddy on always.

Otherwise it is a bigger heaver buzzard.

[ShelLuser]

Absolutely. It's a lot more deadlier than the Buzzard: more active missiles in one shot, and of course those explosive rounds. It's also easier to fly because it'll automatically increase altitude during flight.

Back in the days it sure was awesome. Op2 wont hit them.But they got nerfed... uhm.. patched.
Still nice helcopter. But it wont make the money back.

Translation: It wont tilt that far forward, decreasing max speed.

it is still a pretty powerful heli,
I wish R* would release a mk2 version of it with more durability agianst gun fire, it starts too early smoking like all the other old helicopters compared to the new ones.

pretty stupid, while the hind was designed as bulletproof gunship, one of the reasons why it is so bulky

Dont need a Mk2 version, except to boost Sharkcard sales.
Just enable upgrades in the hanger.

I'm still pissed that a Cargobob, liftin capacity 40 tons, cant lift an insurgent. Does that armored vehicle really weight way over 40t?

So let us put armor upgrades into military helis. Add engine upgrade to cargobob.

best part is that you can lift the rhino without issue but this insurgent is too heavy

Yes it is good to have, depending on what bizniz you are doing missions for.
There are for example in hangar cases missions where rockets dont lock on, then its good whit the explosive cannon. Also in some heizt setup missions you cant lock on to all npc.s.
It also take two rockets instead of 1.
Its rockets is still a bit better than the buzzards.

So ye if you have the money its a good buy. But dont buy it and think you can hunt op mk2 whit it. For that you want the Torador....

That depends on the way you fly, if you just push the stick forwards then yah, it won't go very fast. But that applies to pretty much all choppers. As always you need to learn how to control your vehicle in order to get the best results, and the Savage can be quite fast if need be.
