The Lazer will continue to be the best in our hearts, the nerf is unfair, only to promote the new jet, if it were not like that the Lazer would continue to reign in the skies

I think lowering the blast radius of the explosive cannon rounds and leaving their fire rate the same would have been a good enough nerf, since players on foot are already such a small target anyway.

That stealth mode is a huge advantage. I feel like before this update there was a little bit of balance at least in ariel combat. The Pyro and the Starling didnt't get cannons but had a sharp turning radius and speed. The lazer and hydra had the strong cannon but lacked the turning and speed. Now, the Raiju is a beast at all of those things along with stealth and vtol.

I will however throw an alternative view on the Lazer nerf being too much. If rockstar simply removed explosive rounds the nerf would be pretty satisfactory for me. Keep up the good work man.

Hey Hummer Guy not sure if this voice is actually yours or AI but if it’s actually you your English has improved a lot!

Raiju its an old classic move to use in Battlefield franchise, just go hover mode and aim that crosshairs to the jet which what makes the Raiju has more advantage.

I like the Rajiu but i also like to challenge myself by using other planes against it. What makes it easy to spot is the blinking lights i personally have shot down mulitple of them with the b 11 and rogue and 1 with the hydra but that took a while. The rogue i feel is still under rated its all about the pilot but i agree this plane was made for people who cant dog fight so they "try" to sneak up but as long as ur aware of ur surroundings youll be fine

I just purchased the F-160 and its definitely worth it for the stealth and VTOL alone but then you add the fact its maneuverability is impeccable & youve got yourself one of the best planes in the entire game. I dont use mine for griefing as i prefer to just make money with friends, have fun doing missions and heists. Great video, happy gaming ✌️

I didn't rate it at first, but after a bit of practice with using the vtol during dogfighting it can easily outmaneuver anything you throw at it, other than the starlink. And even then, because of the reduced damage from normal bullets, it's not gonna do much even if it hits you multiple times. Add stealth mode and the insane speed to that, and you can easily maintain air superiority until you fuck up or another Raiju sneaks up on you

Just remember it's the pilot that matters, not the craft.

A nice trick to shoot ground targets with the raiju is to do a loop and activate vtol, the plane will goo so slow in a divebomb position

no, lazer is better at dogfighting simply because it is slower and turns tighter. it is also better at air to ground combat due to the speed of the jet and the placement of the cannons being closer. it has its pros. and no, i dont use the lazer and am not defending it for that reason, i always used the hydra or b11.

The best thing about the f116 is you get to disappear in the most clutch situations than with a lazer

well spoken

I don’t think you can get any better than this raiju. You can easily escape from anyone with stealth mode if you’re a good pilot.

I like the nerf cause it raises the skill ceiling

F 35 vs f 16 I love both of them

F16 vs F35 lightning 2. I’m real life this is a no contest win for the F35

I was bored and had 8 million so i said eh why not. I do not tegret this purchase !!? This jet is awesome !!!!

I beat every pilot I had a dogfight with that were using the raiju despite me using the lazer, the only exception were the pilots who snuck up behind while I was casually flying just for fun

However I put most of my GTA skills into learning to fly the jets and I only used my abilities for good, doing headhunter and killing aggressive players who attack first or grief cargo. I was able to survive almost any encounter with a MKII and sometimes take it down. I feel like this is a slap in the face for me. It didn't seem to me like the jets were overpowered because most players didn't take the time to become skilled with them and the powerful cannons were their only strength since they have no armor, countermeasures, stealth or other tricks.
