In GTA IV, the damage mechanics of helicopters has been improved greatly. If the helicopter blades hit a wall too much, the blades will be ripped apart and the helicopter, devoid of its ability to maintain lift, will fall, either inflicting damage or killing the player. Also, the entire tail boom can snap off if the player strikes it against a building or barrier with enough force. With the tail boom destroyed, the player has no control over the helicopter except for the altitude. As in real life the tail rotor is used for stabilizing the helicopter by providing a force against the rotational force of the main rotor as well as rotating the helicopter through the use of the rudder pedals, in GTA IV (and real life), the lack of one causes the helicopter to spin in circles rapidly. While in a helicopter, beeping can be heard once the helicopter sustains too much damage. If the helicopter sustains more damage after the beeping alert is heard, it can either explode (which will be evidenced by the engines being on fire) or the tail boom will break off. | In GTA IV, the damage mechanics of helicopters has been improved greatly.

===Attack Helicopters=== | |||
In addition to reqular civilian transport helicopters, military attack helicopters are availble, equiped with armed weaponary since [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]. Attack helicopters, however, aren't as easily obtainble, as they'll either by inside a military base or another restricted area or will need a certain task to unlock them outside of them areas. An example of an attack helicopter is the [[Hunter]]. Attack Helicopters are very useful for but will most often earn the player a wanted level when destroying a vehicle. | |||
