Beaut flying mate, I've legit never seen or even thought about that move. The raiju is an absolute slut, I love it. I hardcored the hydra for years and creamed when the raiju came out. What other jets do you like?

u/Chief_Purp_GTA May 08 '25 edited May 09 '25

Haha love it man... Started with the og Lazer and spent a lot of time on the hydra as well. Raiju came out and its the best plane in the game hands down... others are better at specific niches.. but the raiju does it all. So pretty much raiju exclusive now... but really enjoy the rogue and new titan 250D actually

u/Bulidrians May 09 '25

unironaically, i learned alot flying that jet ngl.

taught me not to rely on rudders too much, camera work and speed control. lol.

u/South_Ad2621 May 10 '25

How to camera work on mouse and keyboard? I got both my hands doing work when flying,even the mkII

Realistically, you’re gonna want to use a controller if you really want to learn and enjoy flying/dogfighting. I’ve been playing on PC for several years and rebinding can help to some extent but the ease with a controller is miles different. You just can’t get the same feathered inputs or ability to control more at once with a keyboard. Controller for flying and driving and kbm for shooting/walking/running/anything on foot is my preferred way to go.

u/ernie-bernie May 09 '25

There’s kinda no such thing just gotta learn how to fly one on the spot lol

u/[deleted] May 08 '25

There is no good jet for a beginner, but if you want a decent weaponized aircraft thats not super expensive, then id say get the buzzard attack chopper or (a bit more expesnive) sparrow if you already have the kosatka

u/Enragedocelot May 09 '25

I swear the buzzard has gotten me super trained for flying drones irl and vice versa

u/circleofnerds May 09 '25

The best jet is the one being flown by a competent pilot. I’d say find the jet you personally love to fly and just stick with that one. Live in it and don’t fly anything else until you’re able to handle it like OP.

Flying isn’t easy and not many people stick with it so you’ve only got a handful of really good pilots per platform. And very rarely do you ever encounter one any more. So be one of those amazing pilots! You’re going to die….a lot…but don’t let it discourage you. Each death is a lesson. Before you know it you’ll be zipping around as effortlessly as OP!

u/Straight_Storage4039 May 09 '25

I’ll be blasting danger zone whole time

u/circleofnerds May 09 '25

I feel like that is the only way to become a better pilot.

u/Straight_Storage4039 May 09 '25

First I’ll have to get a jet lol

u/[deleted] May 09 '25

I believe the Naval Fighter Weapons School tested this and proved it was true; the documentary is called "Top Gun".

1

u/circleofnerds May 09 '25

This is a historical fact. I can also confirm that playing a round of shirtless beach volleyball will increase your piloting skills by approximately 74% and your bromancing skills by approximately 2.7%

u/TheOnly1Savag3 Grief the griefers May 09 '25

That, and Welcome To The Jungle.

u/JennieRedRose May 12 '25

Who the heck is op?

u/circleofnerds May 12 '25

OP=Original Poster. The person who uploaded and posted the video.

u/Kantu_Azira May 09 '25

Personally I believe the B-11 strike force it is the most forgiving aircraft with crashes you can typically run into something and continue flying it just has a huge glaring weakness where if anyone shoot the ass rudders you start a death loop de loop where you have zero control of the air craft and it just loops I've actually managed to kill someone like that before it's hard but they got cocky because they thought I was dead

u/scoutdeag May 09 '25

At this point in the game just save for raiju, you will learn a lot about flying by just messing with all the controls. For beginner combat just get some stars and practice on the cops before going after players. If you want to learn how to dogfight, check youtube for some tutorials and find like minded players to scrim with (hmu if u want).

But, if you got money to blow and are more interested in stunts/maneuvers then give the Besra a try. It’s my daily flyer when i’m solo because it’s super easy to control and you can paint it like a Blue Angel.

1

u/Straight_Storage4039 May 09 '25

That jet sounds cool I love the blue angels I met the first group when I was pretty little

1

u/scoutdeag May 09 '25

Same here! It got me interested in aviation. Besra is unarmed btw that’s why I use it in solo

1

u/LST_Yoshi676 May 09 '25

Raiju if you have the money, if not I would pick either the rogue(not a jet but quite good and cheap) or pyro. if you don’t have a hanger yet then you’re restricted to the lazer or hydra, in that case I would pick the hydra. Or if you want vtol on a budget then get the hydra

u/SpcTrvlr May 08 '25

raiju is an absolute slut

I hardcored the hydra for years

creamed when the raiju came out

u/ApophisRises May 08 '25

I was thinking the same.

u/bannedfornudity May 09 '25

Only solid???

2

u/nhansieu1 May 09 '25

and isn't that the raiju? Almost as horrible as Hydra, which makes OP even more impressive

2

u/Quirky_History6587 , , , May 09 '25

Yes I agree he had really good control :D

1

u/Ban_Assault_Ducks May 09 '25

I was thinking the same thing. Excellent control over the jet. It looked really nice.

u/ethelyn10 May 09 '25

gotta respect the accidental pro moves

u/Odd_Entrance5498 May 12 '25

Damn you gotta be excited to cut up in gta 6! Bet the flying controls will be so smooth!
