the raiju is just one of those vehicles that feels different and is just fun to fly. fun to fight with or just to show off with or just cruise with. fastest in the game and a very well rounded jet. loved when i first bought it and flew around in stealth mode and i saw like 3 other jets also flying in stealth mode. if you have the money try it out it’s great.

[@predatorx3326]

Raiju captures online But they havent noticed that

[@jacksonbloodmoon3787]

Yeah, I have had a lot of fun flying in it too. Definitely a very good jet to fly in and, I love how even in VTOL mode, it is perfectly still, doesn't wobble, doesn't slowly go down, it just stays there and you can use this to just stalk people on the map by going way out into the sea, go in Stealth, and hover there. Used it to get a guy who was part of a group, went way out into sea, hovered, was in stealth, and stalked via the map and they guy i was mainly after wasn't in the heli I shot down, but the guys I accidentally killed commended me for playing smart and playing very well with the jet and using the best of its abilities and using it in new ways, because I feel like the Raiju is perfect for flanking enemies without having to be in a CEO and using Ghost Org. to flank the enemy. It is practically a jet you want to think outside the box with, use it in ways no other jet has been used. Use its Stealth Mode to get an advantage over your enemy by flanking them and popping out of stealth mode to get a hit possibly on them and going back in and flanking again and waiting for that moment to open. Or go way out of reach and just wait there, hovering, stalking the prey like a predator being patient with hunting its next target. Oh the Raiju is gonna be a whole new fun jet for me. And I wonder how the griefers are gonna change about this new jet.

The F-160 is actually based on at least three vehicles. The F-35 carrier variant, the F-22 Raptor and the YF-23 Black Widow which was a concept that lost out to the YF-22 which eventually became the F-22.

One of my friends was using his and shot me in the tail, and I lost both ailerons, both elevators and one rudder.... so... I had no control, just like when a b11 loses its tail as well.

The Hydra VTOL may be faster, but the Raiju is capable of stopping in VTOL a lot faster than the Hydra, giving it better control. Also I'm surprised that despite the nerf on the explosive Cannons, the Hydra is still extremely powerful. Only catch is you actually need to aim now for it to be effective, rather than shoot it like it's a can of explosive pepper spray.

nah not really. If you hit a person 100% he just flies into the air but doesn't die. It's so useless now

I wish they could make the RAIJU more like... u know, a next gen fighters, longer range missiles, and more difficult to get away with like the missile Delorean had, counter functions, flares, anti-missile lock on, and more weapon choice, I mean, you can see there's two giant bomb inside the belly when you switch to attack mode, I though we could drop a high poundage bomb or even some new weapon like guided bomb or something like that, turn out it's just a decoration, so the RAIJU is now basically just a faster hydra but with stealth mode, it's still fun though but it could be better.

[@kieranfitzgerald2030]

The V-TOL is far more useful with the F-160 over the Hydra. Hydra takes a few seconds to stop momentum when switching between Forward Thrust and V-TOL, whereas the F-160 is much more stable and more controllable V-TOL mode that can be deployed to stop the aircraft in less than 1.50 seconds and can also use its weapons in this mode with more freedom of aim controllability. To top it all off, you have stealth capabilities and insane handling and speed to match the Laser. F-160 Raiju superior.

[@crimsoncarnotaurus]

Even with the advent of the Raiju, I don't believe the Hydra has been rendered useless. Raiju is better for air to air combat against other jets but I believe how it's VTOL works and the layout of the canons, the Hydra is a viable option as a choice in certain missions for example if you do air freight, Hydra is still a good choice despite the cannon nerf for escorting the Titan, in certain headhunters it is the better jet for getting the guy hiding in the shed in the country or car park in the city. Two other missions I found the Hydra to be good option for are the Duggan shipments for Casino and the Buzzard prep for Cayo Perico. I would say the Raiju creeps more into the Lazer's mission profile than the Hydra.

[@Stormyy6310]

The meme cannons were bound to get needed one day, in any other game they would have diseappeared instantly but you know : Rockstar. Also it seems it has the same cannons as the hydra/lazer so it likely means it would have been the same meme cannons had they not been nerfed. Now if you really wanna get into it I can tell you that even if it had the current cannons and the hydra/lazer still had their meme cannons it would still be viable since it is as maneuverable as a lazer (so more than a hydra), it can also disengage very quickly due to its speed and acceleration but all this combined with the stealth mode that is OP as hell you already have a really good and even somewhat superior alternative (well maybe not for the trash thermal jet noobs but in the hands of a good/decent pilot it is better) all this and I didn't include the crazy maneuvers you can do thanks to the VTOL thus allowing you to beat the likes of a B-11 or a Pyro

[@thick-window9319]

To make any other plane viable the death cannons were less skill then mark 2

The F-60 Raiju is annoying to deal with a specially when you going minding own business.

[@barcodiya]

Thay shouldn't have nerfed the lazer and hydra because now the raiju is owning pretty much everything

Hydra in VTOL mode is like a hovering boat and the Raiju is like a precision instrument. Faster≠Better in that case

[@elsalvatrucho3882]

Raiju also has stealth mode and better control and speed than the hydra besides in vtol mode. Raiju can also use vtol mode upside down

[@viperfurr7159]

Fun fact, if you keep the Raiju in Vtol and stop touching keyboard or controller, it will actually maintain the same altittude

[@predatorx3326]

Also you can roll him upside diwn,press S and you will hover

[@aiden_heafield5892]

If you're aggressive with the roll control, and hold the throttle down and roll left or right, you can do a barrel roll with enough height. Uses about 300ft or so be careful lol

[@Sukina1The]

Raiju in Japanese it means Thunder Beast

[@yasininn76]

Guess what Hydra means

you can also do the cobra maneuver with raiju by stopping boosting and instantly pulling up turning left or right and switching to vtol

[@stinkygamer3094]

I think it’s hilarious that we measure jet thrust in how many people it sends flying

[@Monke._._.]

For anyone wondering it’s a mix between the F35 lighting II, the F22 raptor, and whatever monstrosity plane has those ailerons. The f22 in the front, the F22 and F35 in the middle(or wings) and again, whatever behemoth has those ailerons

[@napxd]

the monstrosity plane is most likely tthe yf-23

[@anunax]

More like F-35 and YF-23. Entire airframe is basically Lightning II, ruddervators are angled similar to Black Widow and aerodynamic surfaces are made up, most possibly by Rockstar artists

Its su-75 omg not american f-22 or f-35

Which is better Hydra? (Sea Harrier) Or Raiju (F 35)

[@The_Undead_Ghostrider]

I prefer the f160 for its stats but the hydra has been my gta work horse its never failed me and it holds a place i my heart and still gets used as a back up in case the 160 falls in combat

[@klinzz2487]

the raiju is really fun to fly and good for dogfighting, but if you land too hard your landing gear goes flying off. Trust me. You don’t want that to happen. It went flying off and hit my friend in a hydra directly behind me and knocked him off course making him fly into a hangar

[@elisamuel3179]

It doesn't last forever, but I did somehow managed to fly the Raiju upside down in VTOL mode. But, as cool as that is, it's not much.

[@legend-0563]

Which is better according to you? 🤔 Raiju or Hydra

[@arcafox]

In my opinion, the Hydra have a better quality price report..

Does ANYONE know how to get a Raiju that has the lines around the panels?

[@zVikzy]

Can you do Raiju vs B-11 or Raiju vs Lazer Next?

[@aiden_heafield5892]

If you jump out of a Raiju above 1700ft, it won't explode when it hits the ground.... This is because it doesn't hit the ground, it phases straight through. This is apparent when it faces a completely different way than the way it was going, even if going in a straight line... Also, I just saw it happen finally. It goes straight through, then respawns on the surface.

[@josef596]

So basically a Harrier and an F35.

[@zionbrown1038]

I didn’t know they nerfed the lazer and I bought it instead of the new jet

[@michaelclarke5860]

While most of the Raiju’s design comes from the F35B, the tail design most likely is based off of the YF-23 Black Widow, the contender to the F-22 back when the USAF needed a new stealth fighter.

[@NIKO_duum]

They definitely need to make the homing missiles much faster because there’s no reason for me to be flying into my own rockets after I fired them a few seconds before I accelerated

[@PinheadLarry183]

So nice of them to add the new plane during the 2 months i cant even play it

[@spidozo]

on the rocket test its a bit unfair since the hydra is shooting 2 so its gonna take half the time

So its basically a combination of the F-35 and the X-32 its competitor. The X-32 was also known as the pregnant shark :P
