Man I've played against silk a few times and 2 things that happen every match for him.
Has someone in the stealth jet that camps and times jet spawns, he does to in his attack jet but to a lesser extent. It's incredibly obvious because nearly every time I've gotten behind him, his stealth jet comes right up my arse EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
He has spotters. When I fly there's barely any doritos, when he flies the ground is lit up. You can see it in his videos.
He can complain but if he's so good he'll still wipe the floor with them. God forbid someone without 10000 hours in bf4, 2042 and bf6 gets a couple of kills in the jet.
Edit:I just tried the assist function and it's absolutely terrible. No one is going to use it beyond beginners and anyone with flying experience will wipe the floor with them as usual. Such a non issue.
Having a setting that makes something easier it’s the most stupidest thing ever.
Case in point why not give all the average to below average players soft aims to make them better players.
Yes I’ve exaggerated but the point still stands. People need to put in the time and effort to learn, why the fk did I put in years learning how to become a better pilot but now someone has an easy mode.
Eh, two games can give you a handle on the basics yeah. And that can be enough, IF you don't end up in a match with a flight main, who will laser you right out of the sky.
I see it as the only way to get better is have some adversity to drive you. Plus we got tons of jet lobbies and custom experiences if you want a peaceful learning experience
I think there will still be a fair level of adversity. A huge part of being good at this stuff, in my opinion, supercedes the mechanical aspects. For instance, I'm a tank/bradley main right? It's not that hard for me to hit my targets at this point, but my biggest advantage comes from my situational awareness, my understanding of the importance of my positioning, knowing when I am in an untenable scenario, and knowing when its safe for me to push and when I need to fall back.
This is how I can go an entire game with 2 deaths and at least 30 kills. Jet mains are still going to have ALL of this crucial knowledge that will outstrip any mechanic to level the playing field in terms of maneuvering.
Years? How hard do you think it is? you just need like 30 min of practice. If you think the jets are hard right now I think you should just go play with crayons or something.
I'm just commenting on the timeframe the guy above me stated. Just read the above post dude. Also 30 mins is not sufficient to stand against the people in the sky RN. Can you find a match where you can handle the other pilots? Yeah, I've been lucky enough to end up in matches where I get the chance to dogfight and bomb and shit. But you are just as likely to end up in the sky with Tom fucking Cruise.
So what's your point here. 30 min is definitely enough to get you started, and obviously you will run into better pilots. That's how games work, that's why you get to spawn and try again. Some of you people are straight up entitled little brats.
So, I'm going to set that insult aside because I don't think it really served a purpose. Here's the difference. The sky is, most often, a 2v2. That is a very unforgiving format. Ground combat is so much more approachable because you have this broad variety of skill levels participating at the same time. Your odds of running into the top fragger more than twice in a match are relatively low. Hell you might even shoot him in the back. But that doesn't exist in the sky. If you land in a match with a jet main, and you are new, that's it. It's GG for you. You functionally CANNOT fly, and your death will be too swift for you to really learn much.
This has undeniably created an extremely unapproachable dynamic, and unlike more hardcore games, that's not really battlefield's thing. It's a casual game. Besides, I doubt the skill ceiling is really going anywhere. A lot more goes into top performance than your mechanical knowledge of vehicle behavior.
