Another thing I think is useful to know: if you want to land as quickly as possible, just point at the ground at full speed and, when you’re two or three airplane lengths to the ground, use vtol mode and pull up at the last moment. You’ll be inches to the ground and almost stationary.

The bullet damage bug in this plane is exactly what I'd like to have as a feature for aircrafts in general against PvE enemies. Makes them so much more viable when you don't get disabled from just a couple of engagements because the AI has not only god-tier accuracy but also keep said accuracy over the entire freaking range of their guns.

Kinda unfortunate that you never showed the Raiju‘s most powerful weapon in a dogfight. Its enormous speed combined with its toggleable stealth allows you to simply fly away upon first contact with your enemy at the speed of a missile until they loose sight of you before coming around for a pass with your machine gun. Doing that a few times basically ensures a kill. It’s essentially the first the first aircraft in GTAO that can effectively utilise interceptor style doctrine rather than fighter style doctrine.

Against the oppressor mk2 your best bet is making yourself vulnerable and let them waste their missiles, once their out their vulnerable and you have your opening to attack, they usually run and when they do fire a missile to bait their circle dodge and halfway through send your second, if they turn out of the circle normally they get slammed by the second

the air to ground with the Raiju is actually insane if used correctly, if your in the city then there is a whole lot of cover with all the buildings which you can use to your advantage so the person your fighting can’t hit you with a rocket or rail gun. Just get close to a building so it is hard to hit you then prefire with the MG so they rag doll and finish them off with a missile (this should be done in VTOL mode), uversuspro explains it better in his video about the raiju. if you’re in an open area with the raiju such as sandy shores or the air port, then what you should do is gain a reasonable amount of altitude in normal mode then you kinda need to do a backflip with it and switch to VTOL mode, this will make the jet way slower and you have way more control then just locate your target and shoot them with a missile, it is really affective and way better explanation is on UVP’s channel so you can see how it works and what it looks like

However the tail has a built in rudder whereas the YF-23 & Su-75 control pitch and yaw with the same ailerons. - The missile model is the regular RPG when it is shot, even though the missiles in the weapons bay are AMRAAMS (I’m guessing). - The jet also has bombs in the internal bay, but they cannot be used whatsoever.

i wish savage had the same bullet resistance as raiju, i feel really pissed off when an npc helicopter makes my savage smoke just because that .22 that is fired from that shtty police rifle can actually damage a huge cold war ussr helicopter

One way you can try to take out MK2s with the Raiju is to get really close behind them and pop out of stealth mode and launch your missiles and hit them before they have time to react and dodge them. It's a little tricky and it's not very repeatable but it can work.

Thr video I've been waiting for!

For those trying to get the Raiju in the LSA mission, before blowing up the AA turret, shot the green frame of the rocket pods beside it so it doesn't EVISCERATE the Raiju

My best counter has been ground-to-air with a Mk2 + Explosive Rounds. The Raiju's strafe isn't as effective as the LAZER's and the lock-on missile speed is too slow to catch the Mk2. I won a 5v1 (Raijus vs Mk2) by downing 1 pilot, then dominating him ground-to-ground to carefully bait the other 4 out of stealth. Soon, they were down and I was up! ;)

I was in a lobby yesterday and i kid u not me and like 6 other random players were all using this jet, this thing is awesome

I actually disagree Ghillie. The Raiju is one of the easiest Jets to kill ground targerts. Did you forget that you can go off the Radar at any time? You can pop in on someone get off Radar kill them then put it back on. This Jet is NUTS!!!

​​@@GhillieMasterActually it does. It doesn't have the same limitations as the Akula because it can easily outrun missiles and it's immune to small arms weapons fire. Also have you seen UversusPro's video on this yet? He basically said the same thing that I noticed with this thing. You can use vtol mode upside down and tilt the nose in a down to kill enemies directly below you with ease if tilt the tail slightly up towards the sky

​​@@GhillieMasterorry I edited that last comment because I accidentally hit send prematurely..... But I think you need to start a battle with your friend and try it out. You usually know more than me so I might be a little off. But one thing is for sure is that ... With Raiju you have the element of surprise....if you pop up on someone off the radar you can easily kill them before they notice you. One shot from the guns ragdoll the enemy. Especially harder to track when in the city. Or at night.

@@morganyu812 Even in stealth mode though the jet makes a much louder sound than a helicopter does. So it’ll be harder to sneak up on people. Not saying it’s impossible. But I don’t see the jet lasting very long if someone has the Railgun or E Rounds

I knew the raiju was advanced, but being impervious to bullets and adding stealth bullets was really what sold me

Ah, glorious powercreep. This explained some things that I was unsure about when fighting them. This video also confirmed that the one guy I did fight with a Raiju was indeed cheating. He took somewhere in the realm of 15 explosive sniper shots and suffered no damage, which under normal conditions is impossible. Really wish you would have discussed stealth more, since that is the most interesting feature.

Nice review, but would have been nice if you had included you pitch and yaw test to compare to other planes, like previously :)

The top gun music is very fitting for showcasing this fight

raiju is really fun to use, only thing to beware of is if you land too hard your landing gear flies off. I was flying in formation and did a quick land-takeoff thing because it was cool and my landing gear flew off and hit my friend in another raiju, it got under his plane and knocked him into a nearby hangar and killed hkm.

Love your videos bro!

If you are in regular flight and lower ur wheels it slows down a bit, great for dogfights and etc

As a newer player, this is sick!

Stealth mode in the Akula hasn't hidden cargo for a long time. That's not newly broken. Ghost Organization is (currently) the only way.

One thing you gotta try: cut the engine and use the left and right bumpers to float around silently, kind of like flying arena cars!

No a big jet person at all but man do i love this jet. Easily replaces my pyro for just speeding to different areas quickly especially back to sell vehicles

This, this is what I've been waiting for.

Awesome Guide!👍

doing the "VTOL divebomb" is definitely the best way to fight anything that isn't another jet, you get a lot of time to shoot them with the MGs, and they can hardly ever do anything back.

Good video Mr Ghillie.

me and a friend that isn't good with jets decided to do a headhunter with the Raiju and we did it in under 2 minutes! This jet is crazy good lol

Sick vid. Just logged on and bought it and got the notification for the vid. Perfect timing for me.

A tip while dogfighting in the Raiju, if you struggle to get behind your target go into stealth mode and fly high up, then divebomb and hit them with explosive mg or missiles

The Raiju is literally just the hydra if it snorted a line of coke, which I love, it's a masterpiece and an amazing take on one of my favorite jets, which I always use for literally anything being the hydra, not to mention it's the perfect jet for skilled pilots to really shine

Thanks for the guide! Are you going to do an analysis of the Tactical SMG?

@GhillieMaster

Жыл бұрын

Yep! Planning on having that out tomorrow

The 2 upsides of the Hydra Vtol, Faster switch to Vtol/jet mode, speed glitch still works

I met a group of players last night all running around with thermal in the new jet, very fun

Hydra hover mode speed trick will still completely gap this jet over time in a straight line but due to how long it takes to land a hydra in comparison to the raiju, in a practical test taking takeoff/landing into consideration, in a test going from the cluckin bell business battle to the del perro nightclub both hydra and raiju ended up landing pretty much at the same time

best guide on youtube by far

When it comes to dogfighting in the Raiju, it can take on any jet and win. You just have to be really good at maneuvering and have good situational awareness. A trick I like to do is 'Offset the circle'. Basically, in dogfights there are 2 types of fighting. 1-Circle, and 2-Circle. 1-Circle is a nose-to-nose fight, while a 2-Circle is a nose-to-tail fight. Typically, GTA pilots use pitch and only one rudder to turn. This means that if both pilots are just using one rudder, the one with the better turn rate will win. Offsetting the circle helps prevent that, and can even turn the tide in some cases. It's typically used in a 2-Circle fight. All you have to do is alternate between both rudders. For example, let's say you merge into a 2-Circle dogfight with a B-11. Obviously it will out-rate you, so if you are turning left and using right left to turn faster, instead, use the right rudder to gain altitude, then swap back to using the left rudder to gain energy and speed. Then you can roll the plane slightly to try gain a bit more speed. Same goes for turning right. Left rudder to gain altitude, right rudder to gain speed and energy. Doing this repeatedly could get you behind them, or even lead to you reversing the turn and catching them by surprise. It is best to leave the engine in idle (not holding accelerate) and tap the breaks every now and then, as the Raiju is an absolute speed demon. Edit: I do this trick every dogfight and it has never failed me. The only reason I would lose would be because the enemy would catch me by surprise, or in other words... lack of situational awareness. And just being cocky.
