RO-86 Alkonost Review
Normal Price: 4,350,000$
Trade Price: 3,262,500$

I bought this plane because I was expecting to see an openeable cargo bay. Because in the Cayo Perico heist finale, if you use this vehicle as an approach vehicle you'll see that the cargo bay is open, and the player is actually jumping from the plane's cargo bay. However I am disappointed to say that cargo bay is not opening at freemode.

After buying the plane my hangar just reseted. I thought it was a bug but I think it is not now. because with this plane you have a new scaling name at hangar called extra large. The plane itself is huge. It barely fit into hangar. If you put this plane inside hangar, all other planes will be gone to storage. I think this sucks, you cant even put small planes beside akonos. Before this plane came up the largest planes were volatol, bombushka and titan.
Akonost is bigger than all of these planes.

The cluster bombs are coming with the default plane. So you dont have to spend any extra money.

I maxed out all of the modifications. There is nothing special. You got flares, armor, engine, handling, livery and paint stuff we have had before. I was also expecting to see weapons but there is no weapons. You only got bombs.

This plane is a stealth bomber plane, it only got a unique feature that you will be hiding from radar and other players at freemode if you fly at high altitudes. I dont know what are we going to do with that. It seems useless to me.

Plane has a good looking and its really large. But it has only 2 seeats.

The cluster bombs are similar to any other bomber plane. And they are limited.

The plane usually gets stuck at land because the wings are wide and the fuselage is near to ground, so you cant properly land everywhere.

Alkonost is not that fast if you are flying at low altitudes. I barely catched the buzzard helicopter while flying low. So you may have an idea about its speed. The good point is, an Oppressor mk2 came after me but I managed to escape ascending to high altitude. This plane is only good at high altitudes.

It can be blown up by two rockets. So plane does not have any armor.

To conclude, this plane is looking good. But it is just looking good. It does not come with any big benefits. Maybe we can find a useful thing to do with this plane at freemode but for now it seems not very useful to play a mission with this or any other activity.

If you don't have chunks of money to spare for this plane. I don't recommend buying this plane.
