The armour on the Savage is below average taking only 2 RPGs or Homing Missiles. the weapon selection of the Savage is average at best. It features an explosive cannon and also lock-on homing missiles. the explosive cannons are not necessarily accurate but can be pretty damaging. It also does not feature any countermeasures or bombs.
Conclusion:
The Savage and Hunter both have their pros and cons. the Savage while being a lot cheaper than the Hunter, does not often a wide and effective weapon selection but it does offer some decent, common weapons. It can, however, seat 4 people and is perfect for a crew or team. It also has decent armour enough to sustain moderate attacks. The Hunter, while being very expensive, offers a wide choice of powerful weapons while also being a tad bit faster than the Savage. It also features countermeasures for the defence and bombs to destroy armoured opponents or whole crews on the ground. The Hunter is also known to have slightly better air handling than the Savage
On observing these Pros and Cons, we can come to the conclusion that, though the Hunter is very expensive, it is worth it for the weapon selection, stronger armor and the other features that the Hunter offers over the Savage. The seating capacity issue can easily be overlooked
These were the differences between two of the premier attack helicopters in GTA Online. Though both are very good in their own right, the Hunter gains the edge over the Savage in the comparision
