Briefing
The last of the contact's names is airborne, and the only way to reach him is to put Little Jacob in a helicopter with a rocket launcher and fly it steadily enough for him to shoot from.
Niko does no shooting at all: the whole job is flying position.
Objectives
- Meet Jacob at the salvage yard off Grummer Road
- Get into the helicopter
- Fly south and locate the target chopper
- Follow the target chopper — don't let it get away
- Get close and move to the right of the target chopper to give Jacob a shot
- Drop Jacob at the helipad off Union Drive East
Walkthrough
Getting alongside
Jacob fires from the right, so the flying problem is to sit level with the target and a little to its right rather than behind it. Matching its speed beats closing fast — overshooting puts the target behind Niko and Jacob has no shot at all.
Stay high
Keep above the target and out from between the buildings. Bringing it down over open water is the tidy version; let it run and the chase stretches out over Acter Industrial Park.
The helipad
Dropping Jacob is a landing on the pad off Union Drive East. Come in slow and flat.
