First plane to buy - October 2017 ?

I own savage, cargobob and buzzard from aircrafts.

 

I bought savage on a discount, rarely use him. Buzzard almost all the time, while cargobob made IE mission interesting again.

 

I see a lot of hydras in full public sessions, but...

 

Should I buy hydra ?

 

I read that probably lazer will be on sale, maybe they will let us customize it... Also I read that rogue is very good when fully upgraded... Should I wait for lazer, buy rogue instead, or go directly for hydra ?

Lazer is 6 million

Just buy the Hydra, it's far better. You can set it to hover mode and use it to slaughter AI when doing VIP work/business stuff

 

Rogue is garbage, don't bother

Lazer I believe will only be able to have its colored changed. Definately go for the Hydra. Pretty much what shadowfennekin said.

So why in God's name will the laser cost 6.5???

 

For the same reason the Luxor Deluxe costs 10M, and the Swift deluxe costs 5.15M. Red Herrings, mate, to get you to part with loads and load of cash.

My Hydra collected more dust than kills (players or NPCs) for two years until Smugglers came out. It's useful for many of the missions, better than the provided aircraft most of the time.

 

I'd save the money for later, honestly. If you have a Zancudo hangar you can get Lazers for free, and I wouldn't assume you can paint them (and that's not worth >$6,000,000).

 

You didn't say why you were asking about Hydra/Lazer/Other planes. The purpose would help narrow down the best answer.

laser is basically pointless

 

(land hydra otr then snipe the enemy jet, attack with your hydra when they run or have exploded)

Hydra. Dual explosive cannons combined with its high stability in VTOL make it very accurate, you can have it as both a Pegasus and personal vehicle, it's faster at full speed than any helicopter, and VTOL of course less you land just about anywhere. I basically use it as my long range transport and mission vehicle all the time, unless a Buzzard or Savage will specifically more useful. And of course there are all the ways to annoy other people in PvP with a Hydra...

 

The Rogue is fun and can be useful, but has a lot of downsides that make it less useful overall in my view.

Depends on whether you are interested in Hydra's vtol system. If not go for the Lazer cause its better for dogfights. The Hydra's vtol is useful for many missions. Plus its way cheaper than the Lazer. But if u own a FZ hanger then just steal them don't buy them lol

We've got so many aircrafts, but the Hydra is still the king of the air. I personally wouldn't consider buying a Lazer without any improvement (armor, flares, etc).
I got a Savage too, but it's too weak and the cannon's range annoys me.

My vote goes to the Hydra as well. You can switch to VTOL and hover around blasting everything in sight with your deathbeam, a weapon that no other plane besides the Lazer has (the Rogues explosive cannons are nowhere near as good as the Hydra and Lazers). I could see the Tula, one of my favorite planes, put in work by VTOL bombing, but what truly makes the Tula worth the enormous price tag is the fun factor.

 

If you want a PvP plane, you can go with the Rogue or Starling. Theyre probably a tiny bit better than the Hydra in dogfights and can bomb too. The overall utility of the Hydra is unmatched though, just like the Buzzard when it comes to helicopters. They trivialize PvE.

the hydra is the best attack aircraft (i own one), besides the buzzard (which i don't own).

plus the hydra is $3 million.

Hydra is the best choice in first plane/jet. After this I'd advise to save for the Hunter.

If you have a hangar, buy a Rogue. Best value for money, IMO. Cannons, missiles, bombs, and countermeasures, plus an extra seat. Much more survivable than a Hydra. However, if you haven't got a hangar or if you prioritize raw, easy-to-use firepower and landing in small spaces, get the Hydra.

If you have the hangar workshop, witch I bet you do, lol, bring up the Rogue and top it up, you will smile everytime you fly for such a well spent money

 

You already have the vertical landers so forget the vitols

 

The Rogue, once fully upgraded will bring you an.umbeatable killing machine, even against hydras or lasers

 

It climbs vertical without stalling and a sudden climb will avoid any locking missile, you dont even need to spend the Rogues flares/chaffs

 

It is absurd, super complete

 

2 options for machineguns, several options for bombing. Locking missiles and non-locking, an chassis tough enough to cut lamp posts without crashing, easy land and take off

 

Rockstar just released the best relation price-value on the Rogue

 

Do.not think twice, do not even think, bring it, upgrade it, save money and smile proudly owning the skies

I still think the Rogue is a better choice and I could swear the price of the Hydra will be bigger than an hangar workshop and the Rogue + upgrades, all together Edited by LordLoff

Hydra is a helluva plane, vtol and explosive canons make it very versatile. Missions, free roam dogfighting, vip work, it does it all. Then again, the buzzard is probably better for everything but dogfighting, so a rogue would fit your squadron well, being a better fighter than the hydra.
