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.

[JackaCola]

Lazer been real quiet since this dropped

[hashtunr]

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

[DittyTheDitto]

Me and my friends usually hide in stealth mode and wait for low level players to start selling their businesses, then we do everything we can to defend them from griefers. So far we have a 100% success rate which is awesome!

Edit: due to my friends "retiring" from gta I'm no longer able to properly provide cover since I'm alone, instead I teach low level players strategies I use that I've learned from my many thousands of hours of playtime.

3:49 the true stealth jet, your enemies won’t even know what hit them

[Haueru]

Thing with the raiju in a dogfight, the turning rate doesnt change if you slow down. So you can make much tighter turns if you unthrottle in a dogfight

[Kehtune]

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.

[qamar]

Feels nostalgic in a way when ghillie makes a in depth guide series for a pvp aircraft that contributes in the meta change, I remember watching his starling and b11 in depth guides and they feel like many years ago

[artjompr]

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.

[THE_BOGET]

The raiju seems to have exceptionally high terrain damage resistance which is why it could survive that fall from the sky limit

[paulswims]

I think the bullet and fall damage will stay in the game, similar to the bulletproof window on the Half-Track, everyone thought that was a bug but it’s stayed in the game ever since the release

[virtualworldsbyloff]

Nice video, I would also add the fact you can just go to stealth to downgrade wanted stars to only 2, even if you had 5, no choppers after you

[ThanosGT]

as a person who has been dogfighting since 2013 it’s very nice to see it start picking back up. The hydra has always been my go to bc of vtol which is super effective against really everything but lazers.. but like you said a proper pilot who utilizes vtol effectively with the raiju is untouchable. It’s such a hard skill to learn but so rewarding when done correctly.

[dkdiego]

Another thing is, after this jet has been added I've been combat merged far fewer times than before the update. Since lazers and hydras always die, but the raiju has a chance to survive a combat merge with its armor.

[cameronbaguley]

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

[NormadYT]

3:58 the jet is based on an f35 with f22 wings. Both are stealth fighters but the f35 is the vtol one. Both planes have gau turrets in the intake vents on either side of the fuselage. So as for immersion breaking; it’s quite the opposite

[PearlHarbor]

Absolutely demolished my 9 million savings but there’s nothing I’d really rather spend my money on honestly

[eitandembak]

stealth mode is such a fun mechanic mainly for casino heist preps with such fast jet

[BLAKTOP]

I love this jet for the fact that it looks good and performs really well… although that price tag had me cough up a kidney
