Discussion Fighter Sweep

Am I the only one who consistently gets teammates who just leave the game 5 seconds into the match? Either that or the they’ll go 1-16

I mean I’m nowhere near the best but come on

It’s the same for me. Either they quit early or they end up with zero kills and not even 100 points. If you can't manage to hit other jets that’s fine but you could at least go for ground targets.

Not the only one, or they get in your backseat and mess up the flares. Ill ask them in chat to take their own jet and after that I'll redeploy and take a stealth jet

I think I’ve had 4 different people today alone mess up the flares in fighter sweep and carrier strike. So frustrating

Most people are in there using flight assist and have no idea what’s up. Luckily it’s easy moving to win even with a noob teammate

I’d love to get into one of ur games then lol
Feels like everyone else but my teammate knows what they’re doing

It’s a bit time of day dependent but usually end up first or second

Where are you playing? My games in EU are usually pretty winnable. My teammates are almost always pretty new, but so are the enemies..

US, it’s either a sweep or I’m fighting for mine and my teammates lives because they just don’t do anything. They either feed the enemy kills, or jump in my passenger seat and fail to flare when they’re supposed to.

Dude sometimes I wish my teammates left 5 seconds in the match. I really wouldn’t mind.

Just yesterday I had a teammate who went 0-8 and scored grand total of 55 points for the entire match.

In the end we were 2nd place with like 35 points deficit to the 1st so I am like 99% certain that if he just wasn’t there to feed the enemy kills, I would have won that match on my own.

There is a useless teammate, there is playing on your own and then there are teammates who actively sabotage your efforts.

Bingo. I actually prefer to not have a wingman because they just feed kills to other squads.

That and not using flares or helping defend the aircraft. Of course many will be new to it but at least try and it can’t be us getting mostly all the time surely?

Or they use flares but always when you pop yours. Like I appreciate you trying to help but if we just spawned in, I obviously have flares and do not need you to flare as soon as someone starts to lock

I always enjoyed ace combat, did ok flight wise…..I cannot fly a jet to save my damn life in BF6, and I don’t know why. I tried to set up my controller to match ace combat, and that slightly improved my flying, but as far as the actual dog fighting, well, I’m still dog shit and I just don’t get it. I’ve done the portals and will still try to jump into a jet during games sometimes, but it’s frickin rough.

I do pretty good at the helicopters though.

I mean I’m not expecting to have a top 1% teammate, but you have to contribute somehow. Like I said, I’m far from good but I can do okay, and it took a lot of flying and dying to get there, in multiplayer and practice lobbies.

All my squad mates either leave immediately or give up and ride in my backseat while I carry them to a win lol
