I want to finally get a good plane with weapons but there is a big variety.

So now I want to ask you guys.

Yeah I know that the Hydra is pretty good but maybe one with more seats or a bomb bay?

Pyro. Protection against homing missiles, unlimited homing missiles, decent machine gun, armor, etc

Pyro x2 what he said plus more agile than hydra or laser.

I say lazer. I've flown everything (a ton) and I've gone back to the lazer as my primary dogfighter. I'm smacking pyros.

Two seats and a bomb bay = Rogue. Cheap, too, and the best multipurpose aircraft you can get.

I just saw that the hydra is 40% off rfn. That's a steal.

What purposes do you mainly have in mind for it? PvP? PvE? Transportation? Dogfighting? Ground attack? A bit of everything?

 

The best plane to recommend depends on your needs.

Since you seem to need an extra seat, I would say either the Pyro or the Rogue. The former is the best dogfighter in the game; the latter is a competent bomber and is better than average in dogfights (I think? Because its so agile). Both have 2 seats. The Rogue has also a explosive mg (even if its worse than the Hydras or the Lazers). And both have bombs. But the Rogue is way cheaper.

Bomb + extra seat, there's only one option for ya:

 

Western Rogue.

 

It's also a decent dogfighter once you manage to get used to the odd way it flies.

We had many similar threads before, you can search for them if you want better answerers

But very quickly overall best? - Pyro. Easy to fly, easy to land, can easily take out grifing jets, two seats but no bombs

If you are a good pilot you can try Starling. Its like a oppressor with wings. You need time to master it tho.

Avenger if you need a flying tank.

If you rly interested you should check out videos on this channel:

I find myself going back to the Rogue more often then not, its a very good multipurpose bomber plane with explosive rounds good enough to wipe ground targets. The Piro and starling are also great.

Lazer for me, I HATE the Pyro, it flys terribly

 

Nah, your just way too used to a Lazer.

I grab my piro when im up against a good pilot in a laser, other pyro, if your looking for a dogfighter get a Piro but I prefer a Rogue for ground targets or your average pilot.

Hydra is 40% off right now. If you haven't got the hangar yet pyro or rogue might not be worth it, since pyro is not that amazing against ground target while rogue is mediocre against air and you need high skill to make it good against ground.

 

Also, if you are thinking about buying hangar, buy one of the fort zancudo one. You'll get unlimited supplies of lazer, which is hydra but more agile.

I'm thinking about getting a Hydra because of the discount, you guys think that's worth it? I have an hangar, with an FH-1 Hunter, Akula and that free Cuban 800. I like the Hydra, explosive minigun cannons rock! But I'm on the fence, I don't think I would use it more than my choppers.

If you use JATO and give it maxed armor, it can land anywhere by just crash landing, and then you can quickly take off again. It's perfect for Kamikazing without killing yourself too!

I just bought a hydra, it's big and if you fly it in busy sessions the explosive sniper can get hectic. Its a great griefing vehicle if thats what you want and gets from point A to B fast which is my main use. The Rogue is way more agile way harder to shoot down but also the handling is not easy to get used too.

I bought a lazer for my female character strictly doing contact missions. Best purchase I've made in a long time.

I have no intentions in using it for griefing. It's mainly for missions both in freemode and in closed sessions like heists and CMs. I had one on PS3 and used to dive bomb as my main tactic for taking down targets. It was so satisfying to hit them before they could even see it coming!

 

Funny you mention the Rogue, it actually was the plane I was intending to buy before this discount on the Hydra came.

Hydra is a PvE jet in the current environment, though it's effective as ever against noobs who can't fight back.

 

Lazer offers a nice balance between anti-ground and air-to-air, with its acceptable maneuverability and explosive cannons. Explosive snipers remain its biggest threat though.

 

If you want to lean more toward dogfighting, Starling and Pyro are the way to go.

I have a starling and I think its harder to handle than a Rogue, the Piro is the most agile fighter in the game and too me its like a more agile better handling rogue and its quite good against the deluxo/oppressor once you know how to counter them.

 

I mainly fly rogue for dogfighting and air to ground although the missle spam on starling/piro can also be good very good air to ground, I go to my piro when imup against a very good pilot.

 

Yes the hydra is good for headhunter and I think it would serve better in your situation the Rogue imo is better for pvp. Don't get the hydra for dogfighting.
