The helicopter's lock-on "hit box" is midway down the tail of the helicopter. The helicopter can survive two direct hits to the fuselage from homing missiles and a third one will destroy it. With maximum armour upgrades, the helicopter will take eighteen Heavy Sniper rounds before exploding and can withstand five explosive rounds from the Heavy Sniper Mk II. The Akula serves as a versatile transport helicopter with strong armour and superior maneuverability, allowing it to evade threats such as homing rockets, which can also be outrun by the Akula's very high speed.
While the Akula's weapons cannot be used while in stealth mode, the cameras can still be operated, allowing the operators to spot targets for the pilot. The vehicle features two cameras with three vision modes: regular, thermal vision or night vision, which can be operated by the two rear passengers. If the roll is not completed, the helicopter may begin falling out of the sky if the pilot does not recover. The Akula has the unique ability to perform an aileron roll, if either roll input is held while maintaining significant forward momentum. Handling wise, the Akula is extremely responsive, requiring minor inputs to smoothly control the aircraft. According to Rockstar Games Social Club, the Akula currently holds the fastest acceleration and best agility records, however it is still barely surpassed by the Volatus in top speed. The helicopter is relatively fast, agile, and has similar handling to the FH-1 Hunter. Performance Grand Theft Auto Online Vehicle It can also have additional stub wings to carry missile pods (if equipped with a secondary weapon), as well as bombs. The vehicle is equipped with two three-barreled Miniguns on the folding stub wings and a single three-barreled Minigun turret under the nose, which resemble 20mm M197 Vulcan gatling guns. It uses the same wheel design as the Hunter, being industrial wheels derived from vehicles like the Mule, the Benson and the Phantom. The primary colour of the aircraft is applied on most of the body, while the secondary one is applied on part of the nose, the sighting device, the front turret, the rotor hub, the lower surfaces of the fuselage and tail fins, and the main gear frames. The occupants sit in a sedan-like layout, where the pilot and the copilot sit in the front row and the passengers in the rear one. The interior of the aircraft is similar to the one from the FH-1 Hunter, having various green screens with animated "Lazer" displays and numerous switches around, as well as circular lens that are part of the sighting device on the nose. Being of Russian origin, the Akula features various markings similar to that of the V-65 Molotok, including "RF1 АКУЛА" markings on the tail boom. The tail boom and empennage are narrower in comparison to the rest of the helicopter, having the corresponding stabilizers, fenestron tail rotor and tall vertical stabilizer, as well as a dedicated compartment for the tail landing gear.
The middle section of the aircraft is rather large and features various intakes and vents around the engine compartment, along with the folding stub wings on the lower sides. The helicopter is depicted with a long and narrow fuselage, having an angular nose with the sighting device on the end and a large cabin with two top-hinged doors for access, as well as circular lamps on either side and the corresponding hatches for the main landing gear.
The tail structure is also similar to the one from the Kawasaki OH-1 and the aforementioned Comanche. The fenestron tail setup is very similar to that of the FH-1 Hunter, but the rearranged fins makes it similar to that of the Airbus Helicopters H145M. The Akula is seemingly based on the Boeing–Sikorsky RAH-66 Comanche, with a canopy that combines aspects of the Kamov Ka-52 "Alligator" (front windows) and the Kamov Ka-50 “Black Shark” (side windows).
