IMPORTANT VEHICLE INFO UPDATES: #1 it is better to fly straight up and in a slight spiral to avoid missiles instead of horizontally. This is only applicable if not in a dogfight however. #2 do not use vtol to take off only for landing, switch to plane mode and hold the gas as soon as possible. #3 If you lose your control surfaces you can go vtol mode to continue dogfighting with mostly only horizontal controls the majority of the time. #4 TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE VTOL IN DOGFIGHTS! While I was making this video I had not yet thoroughly tested the vtol in dogfights. Now that I have, I have realized it is OVERPOWERED. Practice it against your friends in a dogfight race I highly recommend it!
The thing I noticed with the vtol, is it should only be used as an air brake. It instantly slows you down and can force an overshoot on basically anything. When in a vertical climb or a flat scissor activate vtol and they'll flight in front of you
You can hover upseide down in the Raiju.. and when you do, you can tilt straight nose down and only decend very slowly while vertical, leaving lots of time to unload the canons..
I think you can beat a b11 by engaging and disengagiing. Yes the b11 can overturn you pretty easily, but if you take your speed and acceleration to your advantage, you can just hit an run constantly.
@@vikasbishnoi8412 The raiju would even without the explosive cannon nerf still beat the Lazer, now less players would use it because it is actually an aircraft that requires skill to fly effectively and it cannot attack ground target well unlike the lazer but the stealth ability, the speed and the maneuverability make it alone a better aircraft which would in all dogfights make it the better option (plus VTOL allows it to beat even more maneuverable jets like starling, Pyro and B-11 but it honestly is still very good without this awesome feature), now as I said I'll give it to you : this jet would not be used as much as it is today without the nerf to the explosive cannons, however this nerf was honestly needed as the cannons were just too OP for freemode and required no skill at all to use
In conclusion Freemode and dogfighting it’s top 1 and 2 very close to the Starling maybe a tie depending on the skill of the pilots and has a lot of uniqueness and potential to it with its tight turns, ability to flick itself up and down, along with the vtol with some practice can pull off some very cool maneuvers in dogfighting
this is very interesting take. I won’t get my hands on the update for another 2 weeks but I’ve been maining the starling for 3 years now. my hopes are high for the raiju
I'll never win against other players and I'm already struggling with npc, so I use my planes only for travel so I bought the raiju because it is fast. If ennemies are on the ground, I prefer to land and try to shoot them with guns
The starling still the only aircraft that is a pain for the raiju (although the raiju is immune to non explosive bullets, if want to win with the staling must use missiles)
you clearly don't know about the raiju's vtol tricks and bullet resistance, unless you cock pit snipe a raiju pilot, the pyro cannot kill this. any good raiju pilot won't be killed by the homing rockets haha
@@JetFromHell I'm not, I used to be a few years ago when I spent much more time playing, now I have other responsibilities and just want to enjoy the game and have a laugh, but there always someone...

Just some tips I've found by dogfight everything barely engage throttle and tap brake. I've killed players easy without engaging throttle at all

Yup
The new jet is fire I give people a show I got off the radar and do high speed low altitude passes over randoms

what hendeling is the best for fights
Imma say the highest
I think you can beat a b11 by engaging and disengagiing. Yes the b11 can overturn you pretty easily, but if you take your speed and acceleration to your advantage, you can just hit an run constantly.
Yeah
Or just go the based way and outskill it
Yeah..they saved their new toy from lazer by nerfing it.....😅

We need to see starling against Raiju with equally skilled pilots to eventually see which one is better, I couldn’t find any good videos on UA-cam
True
Make a in depth stall guide I haven’t seen anyone do it yet
I’m uploading one for the Raiju right now that goes over using vtol “stalls” I’ll start making a video for the lazer though one day.
what handling do you use on jets like the pyro?
Smooth if I’m going against another jet that’s the same as me. Or race if I’m going against a different jet.
@@JetFromHell why race is more competitive
It’s honestly overpowered in dogfights ngl
Better then b11?
@@LSGTA28 yes
How do you activate stealth mode on PS5?
Right dpad
@@Gamer12666 stealth mode not vtol mode
@@JetFromHell thank you
Cool video 😁😎
B11 can’t kill it you can just run away until he looses sight of you
I just hit VTOL in the middle of a turn and fire missiles then switch to canons..
A good b-11 pilot can fuck any aircraft up in a dogfight.
depends

Would you say this jet is better than b-12 and or pyro
Yes
@@JetFromHell is it more agile than b11 and pyro
@@LSGTA28 yes, faster and more maneuvrable than both
@@osman19835 even pyro??
@@LSGTA28 no but stalls are powerful
ye its a very op jet, i been taking down a lot of known dogfighters with it XD its nice
and i already got a huge headstart with the vtol moves cos i mained the hydra XD

Respectable

this VS a pro starling,
i need to see if im gonna miss my starling or nah
The starling still the only aircraft that is a pain for the raiju (although the raiju is immune to non explosive bullets, if want to win with the staling must use missiles)
@@mikeraptorh6888just bought a starling, looking forward to putting in some hours flying it.
I'll try to make a video of raiju vs starling
I'm so glad that the jets were nerfed. It adds such a skill gap to them and I love being able to kill with these nerfed canons
Still takes no skill 🤣
same
omg that's literally me!!!!!1!!!1!!!!!!!1!!!!!!! (got called bad in 6 languages and 3 dialects)
I never said you were bad
We are just at different skill levels man only bad pilot is a toxic one
you clearly don't know about the raiju's vtol tricks and bullet resistance, unless you cock pit snipe a raiju pilot, the pyro cannot kill this. any good raiju pilot won't be killed by the homing rockets haha
This video was made and released day one of the jet being out. And I’m sure I’ve probably covered several things even you still haven’t figured out…
I hope this is not going to be used by tryhards all the time, they're annoying already fighting people who don't wanna fight.
They will definitely be using it but if you are better with it then they don’t stand much of a chance against you
