The Western Company Rogue is a trainer attack plane featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Smuggler's Run update.

Design
Grand Theft Auto Online
The Rogue is a turboprop-powered light close air support plane that appears to combine elements of the Beechcraft T-6 Texan II (general body shape, rotor blades and primary purpose), the Embraer EMB 312 Tucano (wings and stabilizer shape) and the Pilatus PC-21 (cabin).
The vehicle is considered a trainer aircraft, but the player can essentially re-purpose it as a counter-insurgency/attack plane, as it features four weapon hard-points on its wings (two per side). It has a tandem cabin layout, with the pilot sitting at the front and the co-pilot at the rear, with sliding canopies.
The vehicle is painted with a primary color for the body, as well as a secondary color on the lower portion of the front intake, the bolted-on sections of the canopies, and the tips on the wings, rudder, and lower fins. Black portions can be seen on the front surface of each wing. The plane uses the same "Lazer" interior and dials from most fighter jets, such as the P-996 LAZER and the Hydra, albeit duplicated for both seats.
Around the tail boom, a star emblem can be seen marked on the plane, denoting its affiliation with the Military.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto Online
- Vehicle
The Rogue is a relatively simple aircraft to fly, as it has a high top speed of approximately 200 knots, while flying above 900 feet, and average acceleration. The Rogue's handling is responsive but with extremely powerful rudders, making yaw inputs extremely sensitive. The aircraft has a much longer take-off roll compared to other fighter aircraft, making take-offs with limited space a challenge. While flying, it is very important to pull up the landing gear since it causes it to lose a significant amount of maneuverability, airspeed and will be pulled downwards towards the ground.
- Defense
The Rogue, with upgraded armor, is almost twice as resistant to bullet damage as airplanes without armor upgrades. It takes about eighteen Heavy Sniper rounds to completely destroy the aircraft. The Rogue can also withstand three direct hits from the Homing Launcher. However, any explosive damage to the control surfaces of the aircraft will knock them off, potentially leaving the aircraft unable to maneuver.
- Countermeasures
The vehicle can be fitted with countermeasures to improve its defensive capabilities against homing missiles, each one with their own attributes:
- The Chaff countermeasure disrupts the targeting system from missile launchers, rendering them unable to lock on the aircraft for five seconds. They have a delay of five seconds before being used again and only have 10 uses.
- The Flare countermeasure drops various flares from around the rear of the aircraft, which can "disorient" the homing missile in order to avoid chasing the aircraft. They have a delay of three seconds before being used again and only have 20 uses.
- The Smoke countermeasure creates a trail of smoke that can disorient the enemy pilot, but its effectiveness is very limited, as the trail is large enough for a standard cockpit and the enemy pilot would just need to move away and follow the smoke trail. It has no delay between uses and can be used indefinitely.
- Weaponry
The Rogue has access to an array of weapons mainly operated by the pilot:
- Machine Guns: the first option is a set of dual machine gun pods, which behave like most front-facing machine guns. These machine guns are ideal for air-to-air engagements, as they can cause severe damage to unarmored aircraft, provided the pilot manages to stay behind it. However, because of the gun placement, the machine guns seem to struggle at hitting targets while flying too close.
- Explosive Cannons: the second option is a set of dual explosive cannon pods, which behave similar to those from fighter jets such as the P-996 LAZER or the Hydra, but have a slower firing rate, decreased damage, and reduced explosive splash radius. This makes the guns a poor choice for air-to-ground engagements, as the reduced splash radius makes it difficult for the pilot to take out targets on foot, combined with the movement of the plane. However, they can still destroy unarmored vehicles in a single shot and can cause severe damage against other aircraft.
- Homing Missiles: the Rogue can have a set of two missile pods, which can be fired in either homing or non-homing mode. These missiles cannot be fired continuously, similar to the P-996 LAZER, Hydra and Buzzard Attack Chopper, since they have a short "reload" time after firing two missiles in quick succession. Their tracking capabilities are somewhat on par with most weaponized aircraft.
- The vehicle has the option for installing bombs, providing heavy firepower against ground targets. There are four different Bomb choices: Explosive, Incendiary, Gas and Cluster;
- The Explosive option has high damage over targets from all ranges, meaning any target caught in the "edges" of the blast radius receive the same damage as in the "center".
- The Incendiary option creates a trail of fire similar to the Molotov Cocktail, burning the targets for a constant damage. Although the bombs are powerful at the center, it causes less damage on the "edges".
- The Gas option causes a noxious effect on players and NPCs on impact, similar to the Tear Gas. It has a slightly larger blast radius than the standard bomb, but is unable to damage vehicles. The gas lasts for around 25 seconds.
- The Cluster option creates a smaller explosion than the standard one on impact, but small clusters spread within its radius, allowing for greater damage over a single armored target.
If a player sits in the co-pilot seat, the owner of the vehicle can toggle control of the bomb bay, but the co-pilot needs good coordination with the pilot to make this tactic as effective as possible.
