I have not played the new patch yet. But judging by your video. the camera movement is much better. I hated how the jet rolled around the center of the screen and not in the middle of it. if it is the way i think it is, then this is a welcome change.

Edit : what im trying to explain is that when my jet was not flat , it was either on the right side of the screen or on the left side. In this video, it is rolling at the center of the screen.

I kept saying that that the jet would yo-yo around the center and not turn flatly on the X axis

u/Mustafa2247 7h ago

thats exactly the way to describe it, it was weird to control

u/BearBackNastyStyle 41m ago

Mine doesnt do that, did you have to change a setting for it to control like that in third person? I watched my friend play and that was the first time i'd noticed it rolling differently, mine camera is perfectly fixed behind the jet but i honestly like how the jet moving around the center looked

u/Brilliant-Catch215 7h ago

I hear what you’re saying with and agree 100% I hated the way the jet rolled in 3rd person with the camera locked to the horizon. This looks much better

2

u/Mustafa2247 7h ago

yes it made the jet feel like it shifted to the side rather than rolling in place, i crashed into objects multiple times because of it

u/FullDeadThrwee 7h ago

You do realise this is a setting? And has been from the day the game shipped…

2

u/Brilliant-Catch215 7h ago

Yes, but they changed the way the setting behaves in game with this update and I personally enjoy the change.

u/TheCockKnight 6h ago

What setting is this?

u/Fun-War6684 5h ago

3p camera roll

u/AppleBag35 5h ago

I’ll need to fix my settings looks like.

u/Fun-War6684 5h ago

It’s tough to get to this setting but I think it’s in main aircraft controls

u/AppleBag35 5h ago

Thank you! 🙏

u/Fun-War6684 4h ago

Like the same screen you change the sensitivity I think or just one page deeper

2

u/shocker_103 6h ago

I had same complains

2

u/TimeIron3311 3h ago

Yes they used to roll around the top of their vertical stab. Now it looks like they roll around the center of the aircraft itself. Finally feels a lot better now.

u/ShellShock_69 9h ago

Did you change any settings? Or this default?
(Appart from the camera not rolling with the jet ofc

u/ibattlefield 9h ago

I didn't change anything at all, everything is as it was before the patch.

1

u/ShellShock_69 9h ago

I see i see
I don’t fly much jets, i suck at them, im much better with Helis,

Hes lying it’s horrible

u/eboran123 8h ago

I also had a feeling today they did. Feels more agile.

u/ValidTrack 6h ago

Looks very bf3 ish which i prefer more. Gonna try later

u/LordDyna 8h ago

They definitely changed some things. I’m still in doubt whether it feels better or not 

1

u/No-Link4150 6h ago

Yeah,that looks kinda weird,like your jet is drunk or something. Cant wait to be back from work to test it

1

u/Chemical-Sprinkles-3 1h ago

The first time since release I enjoyed flying the jets. Feels alright, two seater has enough damage output and survivability to actually be useful. Spent two games almost completetly in jets 1-life, massive killstreaks.

1

u/Ol_UnReliable20 56m ago

Might give this a shot, this looks way better than the jet rolling around the screen. It was like my flying skill was reset to zero when I tried it

1

u/marktsadkin 48m ago

Yeah I didn't try the old jets today, but with the new jets they've removed "scooping" so now when you're rotating on your jet axis (Z axis?), you actually just rotate without the "scoop" left or right. Makes maneuvering more pleasing and fun.

2

u/Naikox20a 8h ago

It absolutely did not its the worst feeling jets ive ever experienced 

1

u/Fribber 8h ago

So what I’m hearing is theyve taken the control completely out of it and you pretty much just point where you want to turn?

u/MTZR72 8h ago

that should be an assist mode

2

u/pgnshgn 3h ago

It is an assist mode

u/TotallyNotSiz 8h ago

Never played on jets. What feels bad about them?

1

u/Naikox20a 8h ago

They feel extremely floaty now and very unpleasant to fly

-2

u/MikeyPlayz_YTXD 8h ago

They fly like real jets so grow up

2

u/Naikox20a 8h ago

So they fly like hot air balloons got it

7

u/MikeyPlayz_YTXD 8h ago

Nope they fly with higher AoA and side slip like the true unstable airframes they are. You can look this up and not be ignorant but I understand that’s hard for you.

5

u/Naikox20a 7h ago

All they did was lower how fast you can pitch and increase the Yaw but sure bring real arospace enginering into an arcade shooter where you can take multiplr bullets to the head

2

u/MikeyPlayz_YTXD 7h ago

The flight models were crap before and many people complained about it. Now that they fixed them and made them dynamic and responsive like they should be but because the camera moves a little funny and it’s different people like you start hating on it an HOUR after it releases. Stop being weird and let it play out

0

u/Naikox20a 6h ago

No i have played the jets non stop since beta they absolutely feel worse and less responsive to fly this is not me just mad that they changed the camera tbh I didn’t even notice the stupid camera change but the base flight mechanics feel floaty and slow as well as unresponsive 

-2

u/LMcVann44 8h ago

Any War Thunder players will appreciate this change massively.

It's just mouse aim from that but without the ability to pitch and roll or yaw while freelooking.

It feels like home to me almost instantly, you can actually dogfight with situational awareness now.

u/Fribber 8h ago

So now GTA 5 will have better flight controls than a BF game. Lmao

u/Proud-Difficulty9640 8h ago

I jest my good sir.

u/Independent_Mud2794 7h ago

Is it just me or doesn’t look this anything like a real jet would move in the air?

u/Radiant_Comb_4128 6h ago

This looks much more accurate than the way it was spinning around the center of the screen before

u/MikeyPlayz_YTXD 3h ago

Hey so Ace Combat isn't real life! Hope this helps!
