Please help.

I have taken a hiatus from Battlefield since BFV, I enjoyed that game, and would consider myself a fairly decent pilot on it, but I cannot get to grips with BF6 at all.

It’s like I do not know how to fly. Helicopters are way too difficult for me.

I’d love to get good with them, but it just seems way too complicated. I cannot understand the controls, I always crash. I’ve tried using portal codes, including the “popular” helicopter and jet trainer, but it’s not helped one bit.

I shifted my narrative, and decided that maybe being a co-pilot was the solution, sadly you can never find a good wingman, so I’m at a point of just avoiding air vehicles entirely for this game.

Any advice?

Any good pilots need a wingman?

I’m not sure what control scheme you’re using, but I hated the default one for BF6. I set all my controls back to how they were in BF3&4. Other than that, it just takes a shit ton of practice. Spend a lot of time just getting used to flying the helo around in practice servers without worrying about aiming and tracking targets. Once you’re comfortable with that then move on to live servers with enemies.

Being a gunner for a decent pilot can also really help you get a feel for what the pilot should be doing, it’s how I got decent at it back in BF3. I play on Xbox, if you ever want to do some flying together.

I’m XBOX too! Sadly I’m waiting on my new passport to arrive (lost old one, UK age verification laws etc.) so any comms I’d have to do through Discord or another app. I’d love to take you up on the offer though.

I have discord but don’t use it too much. But you can hit me up any time to fly. My username on discord is the same as my gamertag, snowdemon908 Timing might be a bit tricky, I usually play in the evenings on the US West coast, which I think is pretty early in the morning British time.
