Should I get the Vestra?

I'd have to say no.

 

It doesn't have very good odds of dodging the homing launcher. It is possible (sometimes), but it's not very good for that.

 

It is fast, and is only a little slower than most of the jets. But it's very tricky to land; it bounces a lot and takes ages to come to a stop.

 

It is quite nice to fly, but in the days of the homing launcher, it's a novelty in my opinion.

 

To be honest, helicopters aren't bad for getting around quick. They're not as fast, but you can land in much more places, and much more easily as well.

Still cannot outrun a homing launcher, of course, and I hate the fact that you cannot fly it upside down.

 

It's a fast and good looking plane, nevertheless.

The Vestra is sexy, but frustrating when I fly....

 

Inverted.

 

Yes, there's a joke there. Anyone?

I want to get around the map quickly so I'm looking for a nice plane/jet that can do the job, is the Vestra a good choice?

Is it hard to land it outside of an airstrip?

Can it evade a homing launcher?

I don't want to buy it and end up with buyer's remorse, so help would be appreciated. Before ppl start saying "Get the Hydra" I don't have it unlocked and don't want to spend 3 mill anyways.

Thanks in advance.

Okay, OP. I've read the thread, but decided to stick with your initial question. You want to get around the map quickly and looking for a jet. Why? Register as VIP and spawn your Buzzard for free right behind you. Fastest transportation because you don't need to get to the airstrip.

If you're on what people like to call "last gen", go for Besra then.

Not really worth it, I mean yes it is fast probably one of the best planes you can buy but there is already plenty of vehicles that are fast and spawn Luxor and frogger for example.

 

In my opinion its a rip off it costs way too much for a 2 man plane even if it is extremely fast, not to mention you will most likely stop using it unless you spawn near or at the airport as then you will just stop at the heli pads for a shorter drive.

Well the Vestra was the first plane ive bought, needed a plane for 2 people and this was the fastest. Yes you can dodge missiles with it and its very agile.

 

The problem with it is that it uses quite allot of runway to get to a halt. So landing it downtown or up a mountain aint that easy like the other planes.

 

If you don't care for the 2 people get the Besra. Its faster even more agile and lands allot easyer on smaller strips.

 

But in the end the Hydra is still the best cause its armed, has VTOL and spawns at helipads aswell.

Buy the Vestra if you love flying it in races and have spent thousands of hours flying it and make sure you find a Vestra or Flying Community to keep you busy or you'll be regretting that purchase.

The Vestra is pretty good, first plane I owned, and it controls very well too. If you have the money, I'd say go for it.

Incidentally, I've owned a vestra for over a year and always found it needed long runways to land and actually stop, but reading this thread last night and the comment about coasting in with engines cut, I had to try it, and it works. You can glide in to a short runway and it coasts in beautifly and lands on a sixpence. Still prefer the besra but I like the vestra more than I did yesterday!

Mine was 79 on Diablo II, couldn't quite make the coveted level 80 in 2000!

 

Buying a Vestra in 2022? Total waste of money if you're living at a pinch, displaying as a griefing fighter jet on the map (but with no guns!).

No, that's the Besra (the trainer jet)

The Vestra has a regular plane icon.

Yes, you're right, and it's a two-seater too. I have both, but it's been a while.
I would go for the Pyro then...

Please don't resurrect very old topics with short posts that are just things like "I love it". Thanks.

 

Also, to other members, it would help us if you reported these situations so we can tell the member who did it and act a bit faster :yee:
