Quite honestly I don't care if you disagree with my opinion, I pointed out this is for beginners and not people who have everything, which is 100% true, You could purchase a Kosatka, Akula, Rogue for the same price as 1 Raiju. If you want to type some comment like "I like the Raiju" then that's cool I do too, but it's also not worth spending your entire grindings worth as a new player. and for the people saying i'm hypocritical please show me where I said the Raiju was good for beginners to buy in my previous video and how I called it bad today. It seems more like the GTA community just looks for something to cry about than actually listen
Hey, poob I would like to ask if there's a vehicle as good as the benefactor Krieger cause I was thinking of buying it but if there's a cheaper or preferably 4 seats option. Thanks for minding my comment.
Raiju pros: Fastest dogfighter in the game. Very strong armor. Explosive cannons VTOL mode. IS SO FAST it can outrun its own missles, let alone other enemy missiles. Stealth mode. Ultra Maneuverable Good Acceleration. Raiju Cons: Expensive. No counter measures BUT THEN AGAIN IT CAN LITERALLY OUTRUN MISSILES IN A STRAIGHT LINE. Plane has no right being this good. Very advanced abilities not recommended for amateur pilots, can be very squirrely at high speeds and is known to "Cobra" a lot. Rogue pros: Cheap and affordable High top speed. Two seater Bomber Also explosive cannons. Countermeasures. Very tight turning rudders. A Jack of All Trades aircraft that is easy to learn for beginners. Rogue cons: Shitty acceleration Shitty Armor Shitty up/down pitch Akula pros: Somewhat affordable One of if not the fastest helicopter in the game. Stealth mode Decent Armor Great lifting power 4-seater Has homing missile ability OR Barrage missile Bombs. Akula cons: Too reactive. No countermeasures. The machineguns on it are completely useless. All in all....if you're a solo player, grind up for the Raiju, it's fuckin fun and effective to use in missions, besides using direct-fire explosive cannons are more based and effective than spamming homing missiles anyways. If you play with friends and no one in the group has an Akula or Rogue, then get one of those...THEN grind up for a Raiju.
The Hydra is to the Raiju what the Stromberg is to the Toreador - a craft that does the exact same thing, but has a substantially higher skill ceiling needed to keep up with their counterparts. A skilled Hydra pilot will usually beat out a new Raiju pilot
@@tanczzy I always shi* on starling players with my Raiju 😂 It just depend on the pilot💯 If there's a good pilot behind the stick of the Raiju, then they'll be able to kill any1💯
The reasons to buy the Rouge: 1.: It has PRB liveries (2 even, if I remember correctly. But at least 1, as I have one on mine). 2.: it's fast as f*ckboi. It's the fastest way to get from one end of the map, to the other. 3.: It's the Akula on steroids. 4.: It has VTOL, making it one of the 2 best jets by default, alongside the hydra. Disadvantage: 1.: It counts as your personal vehicle (like most if not all planes), and can only spawn in specific locations, making getting to it a pain. 2.: You could just get a sparrow for about 4 mill, including the Kosatka you'd need for it. Still cheaper.
I prefer the Akula for a couple reasons. One, jets make the map seem soo small. Two, the F-160 doesn’t have a bomb option. Three, the Raiju even with VTOL isn’t going to land in the places the Akula can due the width of the jet. Four, the Raiju is no longer the fastest vehicle in the game, the new Banshee GTS with HSW upgrades is a couple mph faster, even though it’s limited by having to be on the ground. If you want an Easy Button in free mode public lobbies then play a different game bc skill is required for a lot of these vehicles. Best homing missiles in the game belong to the Toreador. That vehicle is awesome, weaponized from the beginning fully built will take about 5 homing missiles the 6th will destroy it. Also submarine capability, very good machine guns, and with the right person, can be used similarly to the Scramjet
I can agree with your whole list except for the Toreador/Stromberg Missiles(they have the same tracking), while they are effective, they can still miss. The best Missiles belong to Ruiner 2000, Vigilante, Deluxo and Scramjet where they will not miss a target and if they do, they will loop back until they hit their target.
@@kboutdoors4599don’t get me wrong, I used it often to counter/get back those mosquitoes and it’s a good vehicle. But if I wanted to do a OHKO, I used those 4 vehicles to do the job against them.
@@StoneOcean24 I didn’t know about the Scramjet having better missiles, tbh when I bought my Scramjet, it seem to be very drawn to swimming pools for some reason 🤣 so I just figured, to avoid this problem or at least have a better chance of not killing my car I’d use a submersible vehicle. Now I can, launch the Toreador up in the air bc I’m used to the car and some areas of the map. So basically it is my Scramjet that is more useable for my luck I guess lol
To be fair though a lot is faster than the oppressor mk2, even the Sparrow helicopter. But yeah, Raiju is lightning fast, it can even out-run its own missiles at high altitude.
the rogue is no match against a raiju unless you are very skilled and not many people are skilled enough to make it worth hopping in a fighter that is not the raiju and if you are not into pvp the raiju is still ok for traversing the map and using vtol to destroy ground targets (+ your agument that the raiju dosent have flares is pointless since chaff is better at deflecting misiles) but if you dont like grinding yes then i would agree
Ironically Chaff is for radar guided, flares for heat seeking. This game doesn’t have heat seeking just radar guided homing 😂 Real homing missiles don’t lock on to people lol.
I mean. Interms of the Raiju and akula, yeah, it is just PvP. Because stealth mode is irrelevant against AI... And the other jets/helis are kinda better.
In freemode, you can fast travel but in missions, you cannot use fast travel; if your mission loves to trigger a wanted level then you will definitely think of buying this jet or the Akula; my personal reason why i bought this f160 raiju is because i want to know how fast i would grind the recent business which is the bail office (with a pathetic payout) if i were to do a regular bounty mission. While i was testing this f160 raiju jet, it was very convincing and pleasant experience without me having to worry about the mk2.
literally 4 dlcs late , honestly it should deliver more for 7.5M . if not countermeasures at least let us have bomb bays or cruise missiles the reason it got so popular its because rockstar only adds the "mcdonalds content" even if no one likes it , still going to sell if they put more atention into adding , buffing balancing jets /planes/helos/ the raiju would just be the "f35" of gta there are better , faster or funnier planes to use that are not in game and will be compleltly ignored for the rest of the games lifespan so sad this game revolted around techy stuff no one wants and less aproach on a real alike sand box with real things.
I think this is solid for newer players. You absolutely should buy a Raiju once you can, but getting a few aircraft with similar capabilities will lead to more fun while you develop your earning strat
The raiju isn’t a beginner aircraft for dogfighting it has very slow deceleration so speed control isn’t easy. It’s the best handling aircraft in terms of turn fighting besides the starling. I would recommend the rouge or even the p-45 nokota to start off with. The rouge is very strong in the right hands but is very unforgiving unlike the nokota or even lazer but with that said it will train you much faster then the others due to it being jittery and having to trim or control it. The raiju is great for pve/grinding yes but if you don’t know how to fly and expect it to be the best aircraft you are sadly mistaken. Save your money buy a rouge instead and learn to fly.
I started off in a hydra and learned to fly somewhat,but when the rouge came out I switched and my skills as a pilot got substantially better as the more time I put into. I remember losing to hydras and then soon I was beating them then came the lazers which I could never beat then same thing more time went by and I started catching tails and by the time the b11 came out only good pilots would give me a run for my money
Eh if you like the raiju purchases thats it im tired of people telling us what to do if you like to grind purchase it its less expensive than the oppressor if you like it purchase its not because you dont like it that people who like it should not purchases it and also if someone like to grind and they don't have any fast plane they can purchases the raiju
The toreodor is not even good anymore because theres better option sometimes yall need to make the difference between what yall like what is necessary damn
Nothing in this video is wrong but as a grinder the ability to spawn the Raiju on sale missions is worth the price. Especially on mc 4 vehicle sale missions.
I brought this Plane on my racing account and I didn’t like it. It’s a terrible plane. The B 11 Strikeforce , the Hydra, and the Akula is way better the F-160 Raiju. It’s a waste of money so i agree with this video on not buying this plane if you are a beginner. Spent your money on something else and not this plane.

Just buy what you want. Tomorrow the advice will change, then change again. 😵💫
These videos are silly at best. They tell us what to buy a if they know something. I guess they want to teach noobs how to stay noobs.

Exactly bro🤦♂️💯
I rarely use my Raiju or Akula. Mostly bottom to top of map missions. I can do anything with just the MK2, Sparrow/Buzzard.
The Hydra is to the Raiju what the Stromberg is to the Toreador - a craft that does the exact same thing, but has a substantially higher skill ceiling needed to keep up with their counterparts.
A skilled Hydra pilot will usually beat out a new Raiju pilot
Can agree as the raiju it can beat every aircraft including the b11
Great accurate analogy
@XXDDDER not a chance against a starling😅
A skilled raiju polit will win againt skilled hydra pilot
@@tanczzy I always shi* on starling players with my Raiju 😂 It just depend on the pilot💯 If there's a good pilot behind the stick of the Raiju, then they'll be able to kill any1💯

F - 160 Raiju is the best from getting from the top of the map to the bottom or visa versa and it's faster than than oppressor , Akula etc

Raiju is amazing if you can fly buy a rouge it’s a great starter plane and can hold its own against most aircraft.
7:33 Pearl Harbor the enemy 😂😂 pooborama is getting funnier

No need for flares when the jet is faster😅
I have the raiju, got it the first day it came out. I go five six months without using it. I mainly use the sparrow and buzzer.
Lol, Harmnone said it was the best vehicle in the game😅. The Hydra is a good alternative
I prefer a fully crewed Avenger to a Raju,It's just more fun,IMHO
speed isn't everything in a fight to me a easy to control plane that can hit a target but slightly slower is better.
Yep, I bought one and don’t think it’s worth the money and doesn’t have any use. Just sits in the hanger. Only good for griefing which I don’t do.
its great for quick travel and certain missions. its used for way more than just griefing.
@ I tried using it for that, but found it not that much faster

I bough it and I don't regreat it. When i need to go to my bunker or any other place in Paleto I use it and get there faster. It's useful for me.
The rogue is the plane for a begginer once u get the hand of it it is a very good aircraft
Why would they release it from point a to point b the raiju goes across the board 10 times faster
I only purchase when on sale 40%+ off. Bought it don't use it. Sparrow #1 utilized traditional flying vehicle
then you're not properly utilizing the raiju.
Eh if you like the raiju purchases thats it im tired of people telling us what to do if you like to grind purchase it its less expensive than the oppressor if you like it purchase its not because you dont like it that people who like it should not purchases it and also if someone like to grind and they don't have any fast plane they can purchases the raiju
This price is worth it especially for my friends who only has the jet from fort zancudo and the oppressor

I hate Mondays
That sucks bro. Wishing you good luck and weed 💚🇯🇲 (no homo btw)
Well I guess I'm screwed 😂 I bought it a week ago 😭 💀
It's personal opinion bro
genuinely its a great purchase. people who say it's bad cant properly use it
Also, stealth mode is useful because it lowers your wanted level to 2 stars
Don't buy the best all around vehicle in the game? Sorry but lobbies are violent and that jet is a beast.
I have the jet but I nearly use it probably used it twice since buying it
then you're not properly utilizing it for sell missions and such. i use it often
Just like 95% of your super cars.
helicopter= sitting duck
What the best controller (pc/ps5)?
I bought one a few weeks back, I never use it
is good for filling up the hangar ... land missions
dont buy the raiju
me who bougth it like 2 years ago, lol
i bought it a few months ago and i love it
