Is it worth buying Volatol in GTA Online in 2022?

Volatol is one of the most interesting aircraft in the game. If players are looking for a piece of powerful machinery to annihilate their opponents, they can go for this aircraft. It comes equipped with three different types of turrets on the weaponry side:

• Two powerful remote turrets which independent players can control easily
• A nose turret with an elevation angle of 5 to -60 degrees, and a rotation angle of 360 degrees
• A top turret with an elevation angle of -5 to 45 degrees, and a rotation angle of 360 degrees

It also comes equipped with dual .50 caliber machine guns, both of which have the same power as the machine turrets on Insurgent Pick-Up. It can cause moderate damage to opponents on foot and unarmoured vehicles.

That’s not all, the aircraft can be installed with four types of bombs, which provide a variety of tactical advantages to the owners:

• Incendiary Bomb - It creates a trail of fire
• Cluster Bomb – It creates a smaller explosion spread within a radius
• Explosive Bomb – It does high damage from all ranges
• Gas Bomb – It creates a noxious effect on targets on impact

However, the aircraft suffers from high vulnerability against other weaponized aircraft or similar grounded vehicles. Due to its huge size, it is also vulnerable to all kinds of different missiles. GTA players can fit the aircraft with countermeasures to enhance their defensive capabilities.
