F-160 Raiju Vs Lazer Vs Hydra Vs B-11 - Which is Best? GTA online San Andreas Mercenaries Update

An indepth comparison between the new F-160 Raiju, the P-996 Lazer, the Hydra and the B-11 Strikeforce
#gtaonline

[@vendettx8837]

it’s kinda funny to see that the b11 had the worst firerate but now it has the fastest since the others where nerfed

[@TheGuyWithTheSniper]

Kinda how it always should have been since the B-11/A-10 is a subsonic ground attack aircraft with an infamous "gun with a plane built around it" design. The B-11 cannon should be what the Lazer/Hydra cannons were pre-nerf but short of that, this is the next best thing to make it still the best ground attack aircraft in the game as it should have always been.

I like that all of them are the best within a specific categorie. Raiju is the fastest and best for traversal. The strikeforce is the tankiest, has the most weapon variety and the best rockets so is very good for fighting enemies on the ground. The Lazer has the best canons and longest ranging missiles, is quite fast and manuverable so my preferred choice for dog fighting. And the Hydra has a faster VTOL mode than the Raiju, so it is the best one to hover over certain points of interests or mission objectives to defend them.

It’s actually crazy that the Raiju jet is almost as fast as the P-996 Lazer jet when the raiju jet was at low altitude and when the Lazer was at high altitude P-996 high altitude speed (196 mph Raiju low altitude speed (190 mph)

id like to see a curve rating test, in air-to-air combat, who has the less curving ratio gets on other tails faster.

[@BvckGames]

Facts but honestly, I think the b11 still dominates

[@damienmcdonald7610]

I'll answer for you; starling, then pyro and b11 pretty similar just at different speeds and altitudes, then the seabreeze and rogue, then the Lazer, then the raiju, then the hydra and molotok. The raiju (and hydra too but not as well as the raiju) is capable of our turning everything with the VTOL but it takes skill and timing to not just get caught dead in the air but it is more forgiving for this than the hydra was because it is far more agile

[@udpbooter]

@@damienmcdonald7610a lot of people don’t seem to know how to handle the raiju me personally I’ve beaten every other jet pyro b11 which supposedly have better turning rates my trick for low and high altitude is just ride the brake as the raiju just has alot of speed without being on throttle so you really need to slow it down to take advantage of its turning radius I’ve 1v3ed against 2 b11 and another raiju using this trick. Hover is definitely a plus if used correctly I like to go into stealth mode so they don’t know where I went or if I slowed down or what and once I’m behind again I come out of stealth mode it makes it difficult to shoot someone down when you don’t know where they are

[@valerieee1469]

​@@BvckGamesyoure right, out of these the b11 is the best. its main competition for general pvp is the raiju and in a straight up fight with no skillful tricks it destroys it but can still be beat in various ways, its very interesting

raiju is worth the 6million or close to $100 shark card but... its not invisible and while you can be off radar that does not mean you cannot be spotted in the sky. also it gets destroyed in 1 shot so you gotta make sure you are good flyer. imo its a good jet for solo work or quick target kills in pvp but you should not use this to pvp the entire time you will get decimated. the b11 is much better for pvp but also its getting harder to get kills now that most cars have jammers and go ghost or go passive so really if you use this raiju make sure you are in and out as quickly as possible
