The Hydra is Still OP in The Post Raiju Meta - GTA Online

[@oussamakesraoui458]

My man proved that is not about the plane its about the pilot

[@idiotgamer51]

Like the old saying goes. Your only as good as your tools are it all comes down to the pilot AND the plane working together

[@Ofniiii]

No shit

[@mrvelumfive]

Now if you put 2 equal skilled pilots the Raiju wins

[@mbtenjoyer9487]

It’s both

[@Diego-pego]

B11....... that thing makes everything easy

[@thelosthero67]

I swear every Raiju I come across is the most ass dogfighter I’ve ever seen lmao

[@alanb1303]

I think it ruins people if you start with it. I'm only decent in mine because I watch this channel and spent the last few years flying my Rogue exclusively

[@ghostattaque17]

I beat raiju in my p51 and i only use the mg people rly dont know how to dogfight

[@thewormarchives7876]

I started back up playing again a week ago after a long break and I know I didn't improve over that time but I haven't come across a raiju that wasn't relying on his missiles. (I was never that good to begin but I know what you mean).

[@CanuckInCombat]

Because it actively punishes people who full throttle 24/7 during dogfights.

[@nicholaskline4446]

I spent like 2 years in a lazer learning to dog fight and as soon as I got the raiju I became a master

[@blackzero786]

What's ironic is when a Hydra takes down a fully upgraded Raiju. If the Sea Breeze and the Pyro had the explosive miniguns they'd be OP.

[@itzjustboris7395]

I’m convinced if the sea breeze had literally any ranged weapon better than the piece of shit pea shooter you can get for it, it’d be the best dog fighter in the game. I fr can go like 10 minutes straight against a raiju without getting hit once and literally out turning missiles but it doesn’t really matter cuz the raiju needs like continuous fire from the sea breeze for about 5 minutes to blow it up, the guns honestly feel like they do nothing against anything stronger than a crop duster, I’d consider myself I very good pilot but I struggle to even take down mavericks with the sea breeze’s mg’s reliably it feels like you’re just tickling enemies, I get more kills ramming into people with it or making people crash into buildings chasing me than I do with the guns lmao

[@Eli.D2]

@@itzjustboris7395 That's strange because all smuggler's run MGs should be the same, however the Raiju did have the armour bug that made it immune to MG fire when it first came out. I'm sure if you fight other aircraft the MGs would be more effective. Also the MGs are decently spread out so that may be why they feel weak, try aiming only one of the MGs instead of using the retical.

[@itzjustboris7395]

@@Eli.D2 nah I swear even tonight I was just fighting another player in a buzzard and I must’ve poured about a minute straight of sustained fire total into it then another 30 seconds after it started smoking and then I just got bored and rammed it lmao it feels about as powerful as an assault rifle

[@Eli.D2]

@@itzjustboris7395 Hrm even if that was the case and they did next to no damage you could always attempt to pilot snipe the enemy aircraft for an easy kill.

[@alexsiegfried3693]

Been using the rouge to shoot down raiju jets. Turns better and because it's slower you catch them with the guns easier. It just sucks to climb

[@JUSTICENEON]

Hell Rogue is a Sleeper I have been using it as well

[@damienmcdonald7610]

Nice kill on that sad sweaty lag switcher

[@Spar605]

Lmfao nothing could have prepared me for lag switching uncle same at the end. Perfect content🤣 Thankyou

[@Another_Brony]

hydra my favorite vtol plane honestly

[@mattevans4377]

That last one was definitely a lag switch. It happened every time you got on their tail, and got worse when they were smoking.

[@sun--shine3296]

Yeah most definitely. And it’s crazy how that guy had to use a lag switch and his ass still got beat. These cheap ass tactics man…

[@darthrevan704]

The ace combat 6 music is a nice touch on the video.

[@diegopadilla3309]

That last pilot looking like that one siblings that mess with your hud in the ace combat dlc

[@stephanest-gelais1278]

A lagswitching Raiju is my worst nightmare, and I’m happy that you took out that Raiju, and in my opinion, the Raiju makes dogfighting unfair

[@Evolution_BR811]

The oldest teaching the youngest how to do it 😁👍

[@sarktravis6035]

Recently bought the hydra from the sale last week. I’ve been watching your videos so much for air combat because for the longest time I’ve been an og gta v pvp fighter. The only “new” thing I take advantage of is the first person strafing, I’m decent on ground but air not so much. Also have the rogue but looking to expand my pvp dogfighting experience through your tip videos. Much love ❤️

[@timpeltier2901]

still my favorite pilot on g.t.a. your flying makes me dizzy 😂

[@CanuckInCombat]

Thank you

[@leecarvalho330]

I think more the jet the pilot really matters this video proves that

[@yvrxk]

Pegasus is reclaiming this vehicle.

[@Damidas]

I have a lot of fun flying a hydra and making raijus chase all over the map using the speed glitch. They think because they're in a raiju they can catch anybody. The other day I actually hit a raiju with a speed glitch hydra rocket and it totally disabled his plane and made him slowly spiral out of the sky

[@Drayhgo]

Ive managed to mop the floor with most aircraft using the Raiju, without really trying. I used the Lazer and even the Nokota for a couple years before the Raiju so I had the practice in already

[@gotuckurselfin4072]

the lag is a serious issue, i have a video like that called lag or cheat

[@Anthony_Khmelenko]

Hydra is a more maneuverable plane, but it does not fly up well and crashes. Raiju, like real modern aircraft, is not designed for dogfights. His task is to be the first to see the target and destroy it with a homing missile. The only problem is that his rockets are crap.

[@redeye9833]

Kinda prefer Hydra after patch. Yeah, it's not as great at ground targets anymore, but dogfights are more interesting. The Harrier dominated in the Falklands war for a reason!

[@masterticcu]

This guy can still do this kinda damage now, I'm glad I never crossed his path pre nerf lol Explosive heavy sniper is a blessing by Rockstar tho

[@FATMANJAPAN2806]

I started to dog fight on the raiju but then got a laser and improved so much

[@kurog4146]

Men u re the best like Pilot, were u play, console or PC?

[@CanuckInCombat]

PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

[@kurog4146]

@@CanuckInCombat I`m quite interested in learning to fly airplanes well. I`ve used the raju a lot, but how does it move the camera so well or use the rear camera so effectively?.. with the control it is quite difficult for me, you are a very good player my friend. I play on PC with Xbox 360 controller jaja

[@Mannimarco_King_of_Worms]

Most Raiju users bought it because someone said to them its the best plane in game. Large amount of them are total noobs who cant even hit ground targets with missiles - this legit happened to me yesterday, and i was driving Grotti GT500 of all things

[@Justamute]

That lag is wild, not sure if lag switch or just bad Internet

[@USPSair]

8:59 that move is called a W T F lol Edit: wrong time stamp.

[@CanuckInCombat]

Thank you

[@nicolocapalbo7270]

How do u get that kind of viewfinder??

[@SOMEAUSTRALIANBOZO]

The best plane in the game is the “Cuban 800”

[@VIRTUALSAVAGE187]

I had one on GTA V Online and I was shooting infantry players and blew other players vehicles too with my Hydra Jet. Nobody couldn't f*** wit me except for modders and hackers, that's it

[@Z3bracak3s]

I still haven't bought the raiju and don't plan on it. The only weaponized aircraft I have in my hanger is the hydra and the akula. Other than that, everything else is just the frogger, Cuban, ect things like that

[@fishfossils8858]

Personally im a pyro main. But good fighting

[@Bag_Catt]

what method do you use to climb to the first altitude? I just take off and climb immediately.

[@Spar605]

Assuming you're not under fire it really doesn't matter. And also every gta aircraft has it's own little personality. The seabreeze can pull you ninety degrees from the tarmac into the eye of the sun before you have even adjusted your chair. While the rogue has the take off of an ambulant granny. I would highly recomend any new pilot to study Kasim Williams. Yt chanel. A ledgendary gta dogfighter.

[@Bag_Catt]

Tip for any reader I have learned that the speed glitch works on the ground too, it relies on the hover mode ability, and the fact that the underside will suck towards any direction the bottom of the hydra is facing (that's how the speed glitch works, face the bottom forwards and reverse[/left trigger/L2] and it sucks you forward.) So it will stick you to the ground and if you lean back with the left stick it will pull you forward, as fast you can go below first altitude (altitude lines), [this is also how you can drift the hydra] then speed up straight doing wiggles to gain speed absurdly quick then quickly transition into flight mode (pull up landing gear in the transition) and you get enough speed to flight straight up to first altitude and start speed glitching, (convenient for orb dodging on a timer). Take note that the speed glitch will take roughly 30 seconds (if you are consistent) to reach orb doge speed and eventually you will have to turn back onto the map

[@KajuTheRudeMonke]

7:29 sweet mother of McDonald's wifi, this guy is lagging so hard... Or maybe he's lagswitching?

The Man The Myth The Legend is back boding Lag Switching noobs bruh you got a lag switch an failed miserably even use orbital Cannon an took a L. Both were freaking trash 🗑️ classic thrashing. Truly spectacular work May u be blessed in the name of the father son holy spirit Amen from my family here on the big island of Hawaii 🏖️🍍🍇🍍🍇🍏 Mahalo an Aloha. I bought a Raiju but haven't used it much just for show im mote of a Rogue Pilot that melts Raiju Easy W. Infact i destroyed a 1mill KD noob an his Raiju with my deluxo was just chilling try to get a mask for my outfit went back to deluxo. Got in an heard Lock on beeping sound an seeing a Raiju an Dodged it using the spinning hover technique. Idiot tried to boost away missles curved and Boom gotum. I paused checked his KD an i messaged fail 1mill noob jet pilot. It was a glorious feeling even screen shot hid name 📛.
