get combat shotgun and kill all of them in long range, deal done.
or use 2 shot
You can't against 6 criminals (old players) Eldy or not xD
Now guys ya all started this suggestion because I found a way and the only way to win against a large group, also I don't use the seasparrow unless I am outnumbered/dying constantly by a group of criminals, I can tell you that the heliblading system is just fine.
The seasparrow is a compact vehicle so maneuvering with it is much easier than any other kind of helis + I just mastered it.
For the cooldown suggestion it's a very bad idea and here are the reasons:,
1- chasing a car with the seasparrow takes very long time since the helicopter is so slow compared to the usual cars players use (Sultan, Infernus, bullet)
2- in Los Santos getting the seasparrow takes very long time since you have to travel either San fierro or area 69, then you take the heli and travel back to LS, takes very long time.
3- This helicopter is very vulnerable and heliblading actually damages the vehicle badly, and if you don't time your movements, your bird will get shot down in no time
So these are reasons of how actually taking a seasparrow and killing somone us not easy as whoever gets killed thinks. It is hard, requires patience and skills, also its machine gun is pretty usless, like when you try to shoot someone with it on foot, he either gets not damage at all or just mini injuries if I spam shooting him (if he is shooting back the heli would be already grounded)
So it's not OP as anyone would assume.
