Talk:Police Helicopter (GTA III)

Well I don't know who made the Police Helicopter and Maverick pages because they need cleanup. First, the "Unmarked variant" is NOT the same vehicle (and they don't use the same model). Second, they have got a name, but it's not visible because the player can't enter them. Both (the police and the normal) has the same name: "Helicopter" (See: HELI in american.GXT). The helicopter in GTA Vice City which chases the player at high wanted level has the same name too. Third, the Police Helicopter from GTA III and the helicopter in Vice City (ONLY IN VC) IS the same vehicle. (They use the same model name, and maybe the same id, but I'm not sure in that.) So the Police "Helicopter" in GTA III and the Police Maverick in GTA VC which chases the player at high wanted level are the same vehicle with different design.

So we've got:

Helicopter - Normal (unmarked) helicopter in GTA III

Helicopter - Police helicopter in GTA III and VC (and maybe VCS too?) which chases the player at high wanted levels

Police Maverick - The controllable police helicopter in VC, SA, LCS, VCS; the same which chases the player at high wanted levels in GTA SA, LCS (and maybe VCS too?)

Maverick - Normal helicopter in games after GTA III

Also, did somebody notice that the police "Helicopter"'s AI in VC is stupid? It always wants to get higher than the player so if the player manages to 'jump' on the helicopter with a trainer or cheat, the helicopter will keep flying up and up.. --DT-boy 17:49, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

It's the same problem with the Corpse Manana from GTA III in the Manana article even though they are technically separate vehicles only related by visual similarities. We could make a section in the Police Maverick article saying that the AI-controlled one is different from the player-controlled one.--spaceeinstein 18:12, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
