A potential counter for the Raiju? | GTA Online

ngl I got a little sidetracked and added the Chernobog into the video, so let's just call this (potential) counter a combination of the Chernobog and the Lazer.
I hope I didn't miss any details, and if I did, feel free to let me know.
it'd be greatly appreciated.
I don't really have anything else to say.
so enjoy the video :).
huge thanks to Bovo Raham for helping me with this video.

The biggest counter to the raiju is itself cause I've been blown up flying into my own missles mid dogfight more times that i ever should

[@connordarkwiseriver]

Just because it cant out run the missiles doesn’t mean you’ll hit them nobody flys in a straight line like that all they have to do is yaw at when the missiles are close, not even close to a counter. Not to mention there’s really no counter to stealth mode other than using you ears

[@arkdromaedia]

well it's called a potential counter for a reason. I'll be sure to look into more definitive answers to counter the Raiju.

[@connordarkwiseriver]

A real counter to any aircraft is the Chernobog, do airfreight mission, and use the cargobob to lift the chernobog onto one of the medium sized buildings, activate out of sight from Imani and your good to go

[@arkdromaedia]

@@connordarkwiseriver well, as it says in the video, the Raiju can simply use it's rudders to evade the Chernobogs missiles.

[@gotuckurselfin4072]

e rounds is the counter. the raiju is not meant for attacking people on foot so stay away from the tryhards

[@rubenbahr2083]

Would a kosatka manual missile work? as it could potentially do a better job of keeping up with movements the pilot makes

[@duallinkdvi-dcable1822]

What I've found dogfighting using the raiju is when you get locked in a turning war to get behind, stop accelerating unless you need to get altitude to get a tighter turning circle. Only use the cannons for damaging/killing, I use the missiles+lock to force them to defend which usually makes it easy to line up a cannon shot.

[@G36645]

I just love how the entire plane community has decided to work about as many creative ways of blowing the jet out of the sky

[@brennensbuildsmoore5537]

The Rouge or a skilled hydra pilot who is keeping his eye open seems to kill them easy, most people who fly this suck so they use it like a crutch for there weak skills

[@Euro.Patriot]

The mogul is better than the hydra.

[@ITheF16Pilot]

@@Euro.Patriot mogul better than raiju B)

[@Theone_andonlyjohn]

Whenever i hear the beep beep beep my heart drops and i just get scared and crash it down

[@Pix1emaster]

Bro forgot the railgun exist and ex rounds. Listen bro the counters that were shown in video would only work on a pilot who is ether inexperienced or stupid. 2-3 railgun shots or 3 explosive rounds. Hit your shots.

[@arkdromaedia]

well that's partly why I made the video, it's intended to be used on pilots who are inexperienced and often annoying.

[@Pix1emaster]

thank you for being respectful about my comment but one for you. the raiju becomes somewhat unstable when making sharp turns at top speed so in some cases you can make them crash doing sharp turns between buildings. but due to it having highest top speed than any other aircraft in the game you can't out run it unless you are in one. @@arkdromaedia

[@arkdromaedia]

@@Pix1emaster very good assessment, this could also be taken into consideration when attempting this potential counter

[@langstonmaiden2572]

Hopefully they take the god armor off them from ballistics and Starlings will probably be able to take them

[@WarConicX]

tbh the best raiju counter is just knowing how to dogfight XD 90 percent of freemode pilots cant fly for shiii

[@user-qs9fy1qg9b]

This is true I'm absolutely dog shit at dog fights I spent 7m just to get my ass whooped but it's fun 😂😅

[@WarConicX]

@@user-qs9fy1qg9b look at iqws old df tutorials, he has useful stuff

[@bando1054]

MIG can stall air pretty good, One guy did the VTOL trick I Put my gears down, moved up slightly so the force wouldnt mess with the turbulence pointed it dead in the air. Only thing is we both ran into each other and died, good way to avoid that trick but the speed isnt that effective

[@pedrohenriquetorres185]

Opressor mk2 with explosive mg maybe is a counter

[@arkdromaedia]

an upside down MK2 with explosives MG is reliable but takes practice to actually fly upside down

[@infected7258]

The only vehicle I have had trouble with is the Deluxo

[@oniph.]

The b11 is what i use. Most people arent very good in the raiju

[@rubenbahr2083]

B(rrrrrt)ased

[@ucvegaz]

Hmm Interesting, i might have to f around with that..tho with the freemode element of Raiju OTR you will rarely be able to get behind it..stealth Dorito moment i guess Raije really has been a pain to deal with since most players just floor it

[@arkdromaedia]

the simplest way to "counter" the raiju is to use explosive sniper. but that's boring and takes all the fun out of it

[@ucvegaz]

@@arkdromaedia yea plus for someone like me who runs normal bullets this isnt an option...the raiju broke gta quite alot since you more or less HAVE to fight fire with fire unless the pilot doesnt know what theyre doing (which luckily is the case most of the time)

[@arkdromaedia]

@@ucvegaz i usually just spam the railgun at the raiju as a substitute for the explosive sniper

[@ArlintoDK]

I've gone up against a couple raijus in the rogue I just bought.

[@arkdromaedia]

[@AmourDuly]

They are other ways to dodge missiles than going fast, maybe do sharp turns or the S method

[@arkdromaedia]

yes, but this is sort of a theoretical counter for the Raiju pilots that don't really know anything if much at all. this most likely won't work on the Raiju pilots that are even semi-aware of what they're doing.

[@arkdromaedia]

The S method doesn't work on Lazer missiles below Maze Bank altitude, however. for some reason the Lazer missiles seem to be the fastest in the game.

[@uchihamadara3301]

I managed to kill a skilful raiju pilot with my pyro, I took one missile but I destroyed him, I am not the best, but he fad the better plane, and he was a great pilot, and I beat him, if u have a pyro and confidence, u can still shoot the raiju down!

[@arkdromaedia]

from what I understand the pyro is alot more maneuverable than the raiju, even the lazer is. 9 times out of 10 the pyro will win due to its superior maneuverability. but nonetheless, good hunting!

[@LorikQuinn]

Raiju pilots underestimate the Pyro, a good pilot in a Pyro is annoying enough to make them get desperate and make mistakes. All R* has to do is take off the broken armor this plane has against bullets.

[@CygnusLaboratorys2056]

by rudders do you mean roll?

[@arkdromaedia]

Rudders, as in left to right movement without having to spin your aircraft. (LB/RB)

[@IHateGriefer]

I would stay in very high attitude with my avanger so the enemy couldn't hit me from a vertical angle, the clouds also help me to find the enemy (Unless they dive into clouds)

[@AKA_MG42]

Players with half a brain know the B-11 Strikeforce is the best counter for pretty much every aircraft (if you’re a good pilot).

[@arkdromaedia]

@@AKA_MG42 I've taken out a raiju in a tula once, most raiju pilots aren't really all that great. and this specific video is specifically meant for dogfighting those "pilots".

[@Bag_Catt]

Show this to ghillie, he could probably decode and answer this shit

[@hoopdroplooptop360]

bruh. just use e rounds also this star doesn't work, because all the pilot has to do is straffe left and right

[@arkdromaedia]

not everybody has explosive ammo. this is theoretically a more cost effective way to deal with the Raiju.

[@dj2zones587]

@@arkdromaedia isnt explosive ammo cheaper and more practical than a chernobog

[@arkdromaedia]

@@dj2zones587 yes that may be cheaper but the cost of fast tracking research could be around 15 million, and since it's completely randomised, it could cost even more. while the Chernobog is a one time purchase of 1.5mil

[@dj2zones587]

@@arkdromaedia dud they lower they price of the chernobog? Didnt knew that, also the chernobog is more vulerable since its bihher and can get locked on if the pilot is a good pilot, also if you dont fast track its way cheaper

[@arkdromaedia]

@@dj2zones587 if I remember correctly, they did, in fact, lower the price of the Chernobog.

[@Euro.Patriot]

The raiju doesn't have a good counter, even another raiju isn't reliable. It's armor is too good for explosive rounds and railguns to work, other dogfighters don't deal enough damage and it's way to fucking fast to freeaim. This thing is worse than the prenerf jets.

[@arkdromaedia]

need I remind you that the armor for the Raiju has been fixed?

[@damonhe585]

@@arkdromaedia how strong is it now? like explosive rounds and missiles wise

[@arkdromaedia]

@@damonhe585 it takes less minigun fire to destroy, and 3 explosive rounds to destroy from the heavy sniper. that's about all I know
