    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. I'll definitely enjoy the Raiju a lot in PvE while I can now that I know of this bug.

    "Immune to bullet damage"
    Holy crap, this explains why I battled one non-stop for 30 minutes in my Starling. The enemy griefer was terrible with it, but no matter how many good clean shots I got on him, he would never even start smoking. I thought they nerfed the damage of non-explosive airplane cannons because of this. Thank you for clarifying. As for the jet griefer - he never got me, and eventually crashed into a hill while trying to outmaneuver me somehow lol

    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.

      Yea but that playstyle is toxic and reminiscent of pre-nerf passive popping with lazers why promote something terrible for the health of freemode. We should be encouraging new players/Raiju pilots to learn proper dogfighting instead of fearing every merge and playing like a snake which ultimately just slows the game down and kills the fun for everyone else.

    I feel like Ghillie as an Og player remembers the Eject kill era of gta when you could use jets and other weaponised vehicles in passive, I think that the Raiju could and most likely will "reincarnate" the eject kill era, especially as it has the stealth feature, and after ejecting the Raiju goes fairly straight before starting to spin around just like the hydra works (main vehicle used in the eject kill era) unlike the lazer starting to spin nearly immediately. I've already gotten a few eject kills as they are extremely funny to get in my opinion.

    With this Jet being so good I really hope ground to air AA like the aa turret get a few buffs
    It'd be sick for the AA turret to have a lock-on jammer so it can actually be used, or maybe even a trophy system where looking at a rocket for a second marks it to be countered, since they have the aim ability to do it and bullets do interact with rockets iirc

    I think stealth mode may be bugged in some way, because I think since the Drug Wars update I have had a problem where I would activate stealth mode on the Akula and it would put away the weapons, but not put me in stealth mode. I would end up having to re-activate stealth mode a couple of times for it to actually take effect.

    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

Just pressed F when I felt like there was no point in fighting anymore and skydived all the way down. Was expecting MMI claim but it never showed up, I check the map and there's my jet, almost all the way back at the airport 😂 (also i found against mk2 just fly in a circle with a slight downward spiral, you'll outrun all the missiles. When the mk2 runs out, VTOL and turn on it)

    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! ;)

    A couple of other things I’ve noticed about the Raiju:
    - The rear of the plane seems to resemble the Su-75 with its tail and engine positioning, more than the YF-23 even though I’ve seen a lot of people say it looks like it. 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.
