GTA V: 10 Things Rockstar Could Have Perfected With Another Delay

10. Helicopter Controls

Gta V Helicopter Fib Building The reintroduction of planes into the Grand Theft Auto world is a welcome one. Anyone who has completed flight school in Los Santos will tell you that flying a plane is fun. Everything from turning the plane to lowering and raising the landing gear feels natural and intuitive. However, for some reason, piloting a helicopter is as much of a pain in the arse as it was in GTA IV. Pushing forward on the stick kinda makes you go forward, but you also lose altitude at the same time. Try to turn while navigating between buildings and prepare to forfeit a blade or two. It seems strange that Rockstar managed to get the controls for the plane easy to use, but can€™t seem to perfect the helicopter. Maybe if they tried less to employ a realistic take on the controls and just went all out for the arcade-style option, it might make the helicopter missions less frustrating.
