Gta 5 Hydra Missles Miss Again and Again While I Die to a Machine Gun

" These British jets accept been decommissioned for twenty years, but who cares when yous've got vertical accept-off capabilities and rockets up the wazoo. The billionaire action movie enthusiast'southward toy of choice. "

— Warstock Cache & Bear description.

The Hydra is a armed forces VTOL attack jet featured in Thousand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto Online equally part of the Heists Update. Information technology is the first military jet bachelor in the K Theft Automobile series. It is manufactured by Mammoth in the HD Universe.

Pattern

Grand Theft Automobile: San Andreas

The Hydra is suggestively based on the British Aerospace Harrier II (formerly known as the Hawker Siddley Harrier), a well-known British fighter jet with Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) capabilities, with pocket-size detailing from the F-16 Fighting Falcon, such as the cockpit and air intake. The Harrier's influence is further proven past the cheat code that is used to spawn the jet in the PC version: "Jumpjet", which is a nickname for Harrier jets.

The aircraft has a narrow olfactory organ with a drinking glass awning that swings to the right, and a big intake below, as well as the master wings with six pylons on each side and the tail smash/empennage with the corresponding stabilizers. The shipping uses two master landing undercarriages on the fuselage and a smaller ane on each fly. The aircraft is only seen in a nighttime gray colour with roundels of the United States Air Force on its wings, besides as registration letters and numbers on the olfactory organ and vertical stabilizer.

The Hydra is equipped with unguided rockets and heat-seeking missiles. Unlike the existent-life iteration, withal, it lacks a machine gun pod.

Grand Theft Machine Online

The Hydra in One thousand Theft Auto Online is based largely on the British Aerospace Harrier Two, similar to its previous iteration; however, the nose, vertical fins, and horizontal stabilizers resemble those of the F-35 Lightning II. The B variant is utilized by the Usa Marines and is the STOVL (Short-have off and Vertical Landing) / VTOL (Vertical Takeoff and Landing) version. The Hydra'due south cockpit resembles the General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon, peculiarly the integrated command console below the HUD, which is directly taken from that of the F-16. The Hydra's air intakes are from the AV-8B, as well as the side air holes and the four rotatable frazzle nozzles. In fact, the entire VTOL system of the Hydra is nonetheless based on the AV-8B Harrier II, rather than the F-35B'southward Elevator Fan System, two steering nozzles and rotatable "Lobster Dorsum" frazzle for its main engine.

The aircraft assumes a much bulkier construction compared to the GTA San Andreas iteration, having a triangular-shaped olfactory organ with an air data probe/sensor on the finish, as well as a drinking glass canopy that pivots from the front end (rather than from the right like its previous iteration). The master department of the aircraft has big intakes beside the fuselage, 4 vectoring nozzles on either side, and lower hatches for the main landing undercarriage, while the wings hold the corresponding ailerons on each side, six weapon pylons below, and long gear struts that pivot to the rear when the landing gear is retracted. The rear/tail area has two large stabilators, two long vertical stabilizers and a single jet turbine. The aircraft bears a registration code on the tips of the vertical stabilizers and is utilized by the The states Navy.

The interior of the aircraft is very similar to that of the P-996 LAZER, existence a meaty cabin with a narrow instrument panel, light-green brandish screens and a control stick on each side. In the enhanced version, it uses the same "Lazer" dials from the aforementioned fighter jet and several other aircraft.

The aircraft is only seen in a calorie-free gray colour with a subtle digital camo livery. Information technology besides uses a set of industrial wheels also used on the Titan and the Savage.

Similar to the P-996 LAZER, the Hydra is equipped with dual cannons below the fuselage and just beside the front primary landing gear, every bit well as vi radar-guided missiles on both wings actualization to be modeled afterward the AIM-120 AMRAAM (which uses smaller rockets derived from the Rocket Launcher, like to the P-996 LAZER).

Performance

Grand Theft Motorcar San Andreas

Vehicle

The Hydra is the most sophisticated aircraft in the game, boasting a variety of equipment. One of its more prominent abilities is its VTOL (Vertical Takeoff and Landing) capabilities, which let it to hover, descend or ascend vertically like a helicopter, and travel horizontally like an airplane; these abilities are achieved by directing thrust from iv jet outlets downwards or backward using specific directional controls (by pushing the right analog stick forward / back on console, or by belongings downwards 2/8 on the number pad or Ins/Del on PC, by default. On the iOS version, it snaps automatically forward at a moderate speed). Due to its excellent engine and maneuverability, the Hydra is the fastest and nigh fail-deadly aircraft (and one of the fastest vehicles) in the game, and 1 of the easiest to fly when the player learns the basics of fixed-wing flight. It is able to travel from the southernmost betoken in Los Santos to the northernmost point of Las Venturas in roughly 60 seconds (i in-game hr). However, similar aircraft, like the Rustler and the Stuntplane, tin can however be more agile. Flying the plane efficiently all the same requires increased concentration; one mistake can send information technology plummeting towards the ground.

The Hydra is mostly the most preferred shipping for its speed, agility, and weapons which get in an excellent selection for nigh any purpose requiring an airplane. Its primary disadvantage comes not from the vehicle itself, but the game engine. High-speed flight can let the airplane to hit objects, such equally trees, before they've become visible due to model/texture loading being slower than the airplane itself (this process is also nick-named 'pop-in'). Another drawback is that there is no rider or co-pilot seat, restricting information technology to only comport ane person, making it unsuitable for several-man transport.

Unlike the Hunter in One thousand Theft Auto: Vice City and One thousand Theft Machine: San Andreas, Vigilante side-missions cannot be started or performed using the Hydra.

The aircraft is powered past a single turbojet engine and produces the same loud audio from jet-powered shipping such as the Shamal and the AT-400.

Weaponry/Features

The Hydra is well-known for existence one of the best performing in-game vehicles when it comes to combat, being on par with the Hunter. The Hydra comes with the post-obit:

• Rockets: The Hydra can fire two simultaneous unguided rockets, one from either side of the jet. Despite beingness unguided, if correctly aimed (deadly when used with the downward thrusts), it will make brusk work of vehicles, blowing them upwards on contact (except for the Rhino). The missiles, if they practise not striking annihilation, will travel a relatively long distance before blowing up, and have virtually the same travel speed every bit the ones from the Hunter.
• Heat-seeking Missiles: This alternative firing mode for the missiles is identical to the handheld Rut-Seeking Rocket Launcher. The Hydra can lock onto vehicles, and proceed to burn down private heat-seeking missiles that head towards their target. These missiles deal roughly a third of the standard missiles's damage, although with the advantage of being much more authentic. Like the Heat-Seeking Rocket Launcher, firing a rocket towards an shipping will result in a much faster missile.
• Countermeasures: The Hydra tin deploy white flares that will deviate incoming heat-seeking missiles from enemy Hydras at loftier wanted levels, likewise as the surface-to-air missiles of Surface area 69. Diffusive the flares is not e'er guaranteed to work, every bit dropping one also early or too late may return information technology ineffective. Missiles may besides sometimes non be fully deviated, requiring additional flares to be stopped.

Vehicle

Similar to the GTA San Andreas rendition, the Hydra is able to switch between vertical and horizontal flight by pressing correct on the D-pad on consoles, or pressing East on the keyboard on PC.

When in horizontal flying style, the Hydra has the highest tiptop speed in the game, around 160 knots while under 900 MSL, and approximately 210 knots while college than 900 MSL. However, the Hydra is relatively heavy thus has slightly slower acceleration than the Lazer, and when performing a vertical climb, the Hydra will kickoff to lose speed and somewhen stall out, unlike the P-996 Lazer which will continue to gain altitude. The Hydra has acceptable maneuverability, being able to quickly pitch, yaw and roll in any direction; however, due to the Hydra's extra weight, it is ane of the least maneuverable jets, just beating the V-65 Molotok in a tight circle.

When in VTOL way, the Hydra is surprisingly less maneuverable than its previous rendition; it is easily controllable in this fashion, but has difficulty pitching downwards to engage targets, and has trouble correcting its momentum. It has a tendency to continue moving in the direction it was traveling if switched into VTOL mode, and likewise takes a while to ascend and descend in the aforementioned mode. The VTOL capabilities make using the vehicle's weaponry much easier, but it is a double-edged sword; it is non as maneuverable as a helicopter and responds to inputs differently. It is difficult to irksome down from flying style into hover mode and the throttle must be constantly modulated, otherwise the engine will cut out if the Hydra is close to the ground. If slowed down to the betoken that the main engine shuts off, switching to VTOL mode and accelerating will not offset the engine, preventing any thrust coming through the nozzles, and the plane will collapse to the ground. One should be careful when using the Hydra in VTOL style to assail targets, since information technology too makes the Hydra much more vulnerable to direct fire and leaving very little take chances of dodging rockets from the Rocket Launcher and locked-on Homing Missiles from the Homing Launcher and most weaponized aircraft. Also, when switching to flight style, the Hydra may lose a pocket-size amount of altitude before information technology takes flying, therefore it is not suitable to change to Jet mode mid-air while very close to the ground or near buildings. If the Hydra plummets to the basis with retracted landing gears, at that place is an opportunity to change to VTOL mode if the role player reacts quickly before information technology results in an imminent crash. This trouble is negated if the Hydra is flying forward while it transforms to flight fashion. It likewise suffers from the Lazer's tendency to wobble in flight due to turbulence, as well as its unresponsive controls if the afterburner is not engaged.

The Hydra's VTOL capabilities make it able to land basically anywhere as long equally there is enough infinite available for the aircraft to safely land. The airplane pilot of a Hydra can also land and accept off merely similar a normal plane if the controlling player wishes to do and then, having greater stability to perform sharp turns on land compared to the Lazer. Care should be taken when landing in VTOL mode, as the shipping may bounciness slightly abroad from the ground, thus triggering the ejection mode if the player is not careful on the exit. With VTOL mode and the rudder imputs, i tin basically spin the aircraft at whatever safety direction before accept-off, in example the aircraft is facing a building or another obstacle.

Overall, the Hydra can be considered every bit a VTOL analogue to the Lazer. Its choosy functioning in VTOL manner is realistic; VTOL aircraft are not like helicopters and, while able to, are not designed to operate in hover mode, which is usually just for takeoff and landings. Despite being a footling heavier, the VTOL features make the Hydra a very deadly aircraft with its weaponry (if players take the time to learn its unique quirks), which is partially balanced by not only its price, merely also past the fact that the vehicle is not bachelor outright to players in GTA Online. However, equally of the Cunning Stunts: Special Vehicle Excursion update (enhanced version only), the Hydra can exist purchased outright, albeit at an even greater toll.

Again, the aircraft is powered by a single turbojet engine and is equipped with an afterburning/reheat. It likewise shares the sound with the Lazer.

Armor

The Hydra is as durable as the Lazer and every other plane without armor upgrades, being able to accept two homing missiles earlier beingness destroyed. However, a direct explosive hit to the aeroplane'due south rear will usually smash abroad some of the Hydra's control surfaces. While information technology is still possible to pilot the plane like this, the plane may lose the ability to maneuver forth certain axes and the engine will commonly accept been damaged also (indicated by the afterburner struggling to ignite or heavy smoke), and some other hit to the plane will destroy the shipping completely.

With the introducing of newer, more specialized aircraft since the release of the Smuggler's Run update, the Hydra's lack of countermeasures proves to exist a meaning risk, equally ground vehicles with significantly more reliable, faster, longer-range or more accurate missile attachments (such as the Oppressor, Deluxo, or Chernobog) can easily target a Hydra and accept it downward, putting the pilot in an extremely hard position, given the accuracy of these missiles make them difficult to avert, especially in open-infinite areas. Also, many shipping introduced in the Smuggler'southward Run update also take a lead against the Hydra in both speed and maneuverability; fifty-fifty the Seabreeze is a surprisingly maneuverable plane, beingness ameliorate at turning a tighter circle than the Hydra, and the Pyro takes the lead with the fastest acceleration and superior maneuverability. Despite these disadvantages in agility, the Hydra more makes up for it in sheer firepower. Well-nigh of the Smuggler'south Run aircraft cannot withstand much burn down from the Hydra's powerful cannon.

The Hydra does not have whatsoever flares or other types of counter-measures against locked-on missiles that are fired at the jet, forcing the airplane pilot to manually evade the missile.

Weaponry

• Cannon: Similar to the Lazer, the Hydra is equipped with dual explosive cannons, which are extremely powerful and effective against most targets, being able to hands terminate off an enemy with a single well-aimed outburst, capable of destroying even heavily armored targets such as the Avenger, Mobile Operations Center, or the Insurgent Pick-Upward Custom, with sustained fire. However, it has a limited range of nigh 600 feet. With the VTOL capabilities of the Hydra, i tin keep sustained burn on a target very easily, at the cost of maneuverability.
• Missiles: the Hydra is also equipped with missiles, which can be fired with or without lock-on. Unlike the Lazer, the Hydra's missiles only accept a lifespan of about five seconds (compared to the ten-second lifetime of the Lazer's missiles). This results in the rockets having less range and less flight time earlier the rocket self destructs, along with sub-par tracking, every bit they may miss the target. The missiles have a short "reload" time, where if two missiles are fired in quick succession, the pilot cannot fire another i until after a short four-2nd cooldown.

Trivia

General

• The Hydra is named later on a Greek mythological beast, a nine headed snake-like creature that lived in Lake Lerna on the Pelopennese Island in Hellenic republic. Other vehicles named after mythological creatures include the Leviathan, Phoenix, Banshee, Daemon, Kraken, Titan, Bubble and Valkyrie.
• Both of its introductory missions are very similar. They both involve the actor stealing the VTOL from an aircraft carrier later a shootout with military personnel, only to use it for another ultimate purpose.

Grand Theft Machine: San Andreas

• In one case the player attains a 4 star wanted level or higher and is in an aircraft or in a Vortex, ii Hydras will pursue and endeavor to shoot down the histrion. The enemy Hydras should be no match, every bit they have a penchant for flying in lazy circles and not deploying flares, and as a result they volition hands crash into buildings when flying in cities.
• Like any other aircraft that appear in the sky, Hydras that spawn when the actor reaches a 4-6 star wanted level do not have a pedestrian piloting them.
  • Hydras in the mission Due north.O.E., still, do have a pedestrian piloting them (model id 43 - HMORI).

    

    The lettering on the rear fuselage.

• Function of the text on the side of the aircraft features the letters "DMA"; this is likely a reference to Rockstar North since the company was formerly known every bit DMA Design. DMA is also a play on United States Marine Corps squadrons that use the AV-8B Harrier II (VMA).
• The Hydra has a U.S. Air Force logo on its left wing, only on the right wing, it does non.
  • In reality, the left wing should accept the national insignia while the right has the logo. All the same, in reality, since the U.S. Air Force does non operate the AV-8 Harrier, but the Marines, it should have the U.Due south. Marine logo instead.
• An alternative model of the aircraft can be seen on one of Goose egg's hobby store kits, sporting a 5-tail and a more Harrier-esque await.

  

  The Hydra model kit box as seen in Zip'southward shop

• If the player enters the Hydra with the landing gears retracted, upon entering the aeroplane, the Hydra volition explode.
• The flare has the same texture/model as the Tear Gas.
• For unknown reasons, if the actor tries to take off when by traffic, the AI cars will enter "panic mode" and bulldoze away. However, if the player sits past the road or in front end of a car, they will bulldoze equally normal.
  • Similarly for unknown reasons, if the player lands the Hydra (or any other helicopter/aircraft) in the city, pedestrians will scream in terror. Information technology is unknown why they are screaming since they don't practise this in other GTA games when the player lands an aircraft in the city.

Grand Theft Auto Online

• From an aeronautical standpoint, the Hydra's dual rotating nozzle/fixed engine afterburning design in GTA Online makes piddling sense. Having Harrier-style thrust nozzles on the fuselage coupled with an F-xvi mode jet engine in the rear would increase fuel consumption and weight (equally both the nozzles and afterburning are supplying rearward thrust in flight manner, and the jet engine will nevertheless supply rearward thrust when the fuselage nozzles are pointed down in hover fashion, making landings hard) and require the afterburner to constantly shut off and on as the aircraft transitions from hover mode to flight mode.
• Different the Lazer, the Hydra does non seem to possess any airbrakes equally none are shown deploying when the aircraft slows down in flight mode.
• The Hydra is described by Agent 14 to be a piece of xl-years old technology, yet it is fairly comparable to the Lazer in design and performance. This may simply be a misstatement on his office, or because the existent globe jump jet arrangement was developed in the 1960s and introduced into the United States in the 1970s. This could mean that it is based on the first generation McDonnell Douglas AV-8A Harrier, which in itself is based on the Hawker Siddeley Harrier GR1/GR3; this is further evidenced by the fact that the Warstock Enshroud & Carry description states that information technology was retired twenty years ago. The RAF retired this model in 1994, by which bespeak information technology had been retired by the U.South. Marines after the construction of AV-8B Harrier II in the 1980s. The after BAE Harrier II was retired in 2011, whilst the U.S. Marine versions are still in service. Information technology is most likely similar in performance to the Lazer for gameplay balance. The Hydra in-game is probable a modernized variant, as it features a cockpit comparable to the Lazer, including a side mounted command stick.
• In the Heist Setup mission Humane Raid - EMP, the Hydra has the EMP device placed where the radar would be. This could be a programmer'southward oversight or possibly a reference to the infamous "blue circle" radar system developed by the British in the 1970s - 1980s. Although it could exist a tongue-in-cheek joke since whatsoever radar system emits electromagnetic radiation.
• The Hydra can burnout like a automobile when in VTOL mode on asphalt with its landing gear deployed, by property restriction and yawing to one side.
  • Strangely, the dual-wheel landing gear does not produce tyre marks on any surface.
• The end description by Warstock Cache & Carry of the Hydra, "The billionaire activity movie enthusiast's toy of option" is a reference to James Cameron and his 1994 movie True Lies, in which Arnold Schwarzenegger'southward character, Harry Tasker, pilots an AV-8B Harrier Ii to rescue his daughter from a group of nuclear armed terrorists.

Bugs/Glitches

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

• There is a glitch that occasionally occurs with the flares; at times they do not deploy. The histrion would then have to rely on the Hydra'south evasiveness in order to avert incoming missiles (if flight at a high enough altitude, roll the Hydra upside downward, then pull upwardly - this will likely divert the missile. If information technology is likewise high to swoop, and then utilise the rudder and turn at the same fourth dimension.)
• If the player locks-on to a bicycle and fires missiles at information technology, the Hydra receives damage until information technology explodes as if the player is existence attacked. This is due to the fact that bicycles are not meant to receive damage and/or explode, causing a glitch that, somehow, amercement the histrion-controlled vehicle. This tin can be done easily at Mount Thou, as information technology is a fixed spawn for a Mountain Bike.
• Sometimes when flight the Hydra in one of the three cities, flying near or flying in the management of a safehouse with a garage might cause the lock-on icon to popular upwards out of nowhere, locking onto one of CJ's cars, despite the fact they cannot be seen and are too far away. This is sectional to garaged safehouse cars, equally normally the Hydra is unable to lock onto vehicles backside solid barriers.
• Similar the ordinary rocket/rocket launcher, firing the Hydra's rockets while swinging the shipping left or right may cause the wings/launch tubes to make contact with the rockets, causing then to instantly explode and causing splash impairment to the shipping.

G Theft Auto Online

• In the enhanced version, the Hydra's attitude altimeter rotates in the opposite direction, so much so that the land (brown) on the punch is 90 degrees to the actual horizon.
• After the Smuggler's Run update, the Hydra's thrusters lacked power when switching between flying and VTOL manner to perform a quick land, causing the jet to rapidly descend when engaging VTOL fashion and thus crashing.
  • This was fixed in the Southern San Andreas Super Sport Series update.
