 === GTA IV — GTA Chinatown Wars ===
-Unlike its predecessors, [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and its respective episodes focus more on realism than over-the-top gameplay. Because of that, they do not have much armed vehicles. Only three exist, the NOOSE [[Annihilator]], the [[Buzzard]] and the [[APC]] (the latter two are introduced and appear only in [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]]).
+[[Grand Theft Auto IV]] is marked with a significant reducation of weaponized vehicles. Due to the increased versatility of shooting a firearm in hand from a vehicle, as well as the ability for passengers of any vehicle to fire a gun (i.e. on a helicopter or the back of a van), no tanks are available in GTA IV, while the Predator is no longer armed with built-in machine guns as passengers on the boat can fire at the player using rifles.
+The only weaponized vehicle in GTA IV is the [[Annihilator]] helicopter, which is armed with a two pairs of miniguns that can fire large quantities of high caliber, one-hit-kill bullets. Under normal circumstances, the helicopter remains unchanged in both GTA IV as well as its episodes, [[The Lost and Damned]] and [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]]; in multiplayer modes and selected missions in TLAD, however, Annihilators in TLAD are armed with explosive rounds that can easily destroy vehicles.
+With The Ballad of Gay Tony's return to over-the-top gameplay, two more weaponized vehicles were introduced. The [[APC]], which is a heavily armored vehicle with a roof-mounted cannon, is armed with explosive rounds, while the [[Buzzard]] helicopter is equipped with a pair of miniguns as well as rocket pods, making the Buzzard more effective as an attack helicopter than the Annihilator.
+[[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]] sees the return of the [[Rhino]] tank, significantly redesigned but still armed with a turret, as well as various new attack boats: The machine-gun armed [[Coast Guard Launch]], which serves as a shoo-in for the Predator between GTA III and GTA Vice City Stories, and the [[Destroyer]], a [[wp:torpedo boat|torpedo boat]].
