RIKOSHAY Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 How about weapon capabilities? Which would be more effective in a dog fight? Speed is fun to fly around but without targeting, I think it would make it harder to hit something; whereas the Hydra can stop and shoot then take off in a heartbeat.

GTAfan786 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Fighter is more effective if your used to the quick movement. But personally, yes, the hydra is better in terms of fighting purely because of the targeting sytem and rockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United_Stealth Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I do it so I can scroll through the pages of a thread and find where I posted and if anybody quoted/responded. Sorry if it annoys you but I don't really care, get used to it. Unfortunately, this thread has been taken over by children, lets get back on topic: which do you prefer, Hydra or F18 parody and why?

Master Splinter Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 You guys think there will be lock-on rockets for jets and helicopters? I know the Buzzard in TBoGT didn't but maybe the helis in V will to even out the playing field between jets and helis. I rather they both had none because I like using the guns and I don't want it too easy for noobs to kill me with lock-on rockets. They already like spamming rockets in TBoGT imagine if they had lock-on rockets, that sh*t would be instant death.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already like spamming rockets in TBoGT imagine if they had lock-on rockets, that sh*t would be instant death.. Maybe they can add something like flares, so the rockets wont hit, and take away rocket spamming. In SP though I think targeting would be an interesting feature. It would have to take at least 3-4 rockets to take down another jet so it wouldn't be too easy. Also even if you've targeted another jet and shot, there should still be a chance you can avoid the rocket by skilled maneuvering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, adding flares and taking away rocket spamming would definitely help a lot. I also see your point about using skilled maneuvering to avoid rockets, but I think heli's will be sitting ducks against lock-on rockets compared to jets lol.

GTA SA didn't have any problem because the jet is faster than the missle so you can easily dodge by outrunning a missle. This goes same to GTA V ,a jet outrunning a missle is possible in real life so why can't Rockstar do it?

thebestgameever Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Hydra without a f*cking doubt. IT BETTER BE ADDED. I like the traditional jet, it is fun but a VTOL jet is so much better. You can still go fast, land normally but you have the ability to hover, aim better, allows for better destruction and is just a lot more fun IMO ( in BF3, if i get into a jet i would try my best to use the vtol one, even if the enemy has it) BUT i hope that if it is added into the SP, its taken out for the MP, too easy to grief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xPatrick32x Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I would go with the hydra the first time so I can fly above the whole map then if I see something in the map that looks cool I can slow down and take a better look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seenyour31 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Good question, I would probably go with the fighter jet 1st( I'm assuming it will be the faster of the two), most important to me is if the weapons on the jets are varied and kick ass. My main wish is for atleast 4 different fighter jets, with different weapon payloads, most likely won't happen, but a guy can dream. I also assume that the jets will have lock-on abilities as their real life counterparts do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PostMeridian Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Depends on what my goal is. The Hydra is based on the Harrier, which is predominantly a strike aircraft that would be used for taking out ground targets. It has a vulnerability to attack (in real life) due to the fact that it flies at subsonic speeds. This is somewhat made up for by its VTOL capability. The F16/18 hybrid is presumably a multi-role aircraft. Thus it is more adept at dog-fighting and less susceptible to attack due to its supersonic capabilities.

Revolution-XW Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 The Hydra is a figther jet. Refer to GTAV Vehicle Database for the difference between the two. Was there a dodo? I don't remember seeing it. Targeting systems would definitely be an improvement. I also hope the Buzzard can stand its own and not be pushed around by jets with ease. I see you defending the noob buzzard, you should also think about people under the chain (on foot) to defend themselves from the buzzard and jets too.

KudKid Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I just hope one of the jets have a gatling gun on it. I hate spamming rockets. Plus a crosshair either in the FPS view or outside view, or both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Los Santos County Sheriff Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 There is only one type of combat jet in the game - the Hydra. You can point to the vehicle database (aka speculation) thread and whine about different pics, but mark my words - theres only ONE. As always happens when someone voices an opinion that the children on these forums dont like, im sure im about to come under massive attack. I won't respond to any of them (I wont give you idiots the pleasure) but I will say that I can't wait for September gets here so I can laugh and tell you "I told you so".

Ex Hellraiser Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Hey look! I can write in different colours too! Amateur OT, any aircraft experts know the head to head capabilities of their real life counterparts? I.e speed, acceleration, maneuverability, weapon capability, gadgets, etc? The maximum speed a modern day fighter jet with good enough build can go maximum 1600-2000 mph. It depends though, whether you are at sea level or high in the sky where the temperature and pressure is really low. So they're both equal in terms of speed you say? Modern jets can go upwards of Mach 3.2, while the Harrier, which the Hydra is mostly based off, is subsonic. Yes, it is still considered a fighter jet, in the sense that it has a cannon and rockets to shoot stuff, but it fails in that sense considering an ordinary jet could blow one out of the way. The reason it was so powerful in SA was because it was the only jet. If it were to have a dedicated fighter with a cannon, the Hydra wouldn't stand a chance. The cool VTOL is the only thing the Hydra has going for it. That being said, i think i will prefer the Fighter over the Hydra in V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZAZEL Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 The Hydra is a figther jet. Obviously, if we didn't rightfully expect the VTOL jet to be called the Hydra, they would be listed as Fighter Jet 1 and 2. EDIT: I can't believe that some people are still convinced that there's only one jet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebestgameever Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 GTA SA: HYDRA=VTOL GTA V: HYDRA= traditional fighter jet.

Kifflom112 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Hydra, no doubt about it. You see, you've got the best of both worlds: Something that can opperate like a helicopter, and drop bombs from it's bottom as well at low or high speeds. Then it can speed up and get places/targets faster. F the fighter jet, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deffpony Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 It really depends in the differences of the two aircraft. We obviously can't know why that is yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1_Mercenary Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Keep your fancy hair-driers. I would choose a Rustler. (I hope there is a Rustler in GTAV...) However... if I had to choose between the two... Hmm, Most likely the Fighter Jet. I never really used the VTOL in San Andreas. I mainly flew the Rustler and if I couldn't land where I wanted to explore, I just flew to somewhere nearby where I could land and get a car. Besides, I found shooting down those pesky Hydras with machine guns was much more entertaining than simply blowing them up with missiles. (Also my first post, yay!)

Yea, because we saw the F-35A/AV-8B in Trailer II and the F-16 in recent screenshots. But hey, f*ck logic. A jet doesn't equal handgloves, I really doubt they would take out something that noticable. Depends on what my goal is. The Hydra is based on the Harrier, which is predominantly a strike aircraft that would be used for taking out ground targets. It has a vulnerability to attack (in real life) due to the fact that it flies at subsonic speeds. This is somewhat made up for by its VTOL capability. The F16/18 hybrid is presumably a multi-role aircraft. Thus it is more adept at dog-fighting and less susceptible to attack due to its supersonic capabilities The Hydra is based on the F-35A Lightning II (Air Force variant) and the AV-8B Harrier II. The F-35 family is a multirole aircraft (thus being used by the Air Force, Marines and Navy). The fighterjet has no influences of the F/A-18 family, really. It it solely based on the F-16C Fighting Falcon with a double vertical stabilizar. The configuration can be seen on most modern aircraft (F-22A, F-35, Su-35 Flanker-E, etc). The F-16 is a multirole jet aswell, so the jobs of the planes are pretty much the same. My bet is, the fighterjet will be faster and have a better maneuverability. OT, I'd choose the fighterjet, simly because of the looks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
