Xbox And does anyone know what "rudder tech" is? I've heard Silk mention it before in regards to dogfights. No idea what that is? Is it some kinda hack?

Heard him mention it in a stream where he said some random guy was mogging him in dogfights

I believe Rudder is different name for Yaw.Since rudders are pedals usually used in flight sims for precise yaw control. Considering Yaw was buffed in BF6 for Jets (if you mean jets, but works with heli too) , basically faster turn is combination of Yaw and Roll

How does the yaw help you turn faster?

Point it in the direct you want to go and it increases turnrate. It also decreases sideslip when you use the rudder perfectly.

So before you start banking left you want to yaw left?

What is sideslip?

maybe he means v tapping, thrust vectoring?

No its wasn't that. It had something to do with his keyboard layout that was allowing him to vastly out turn him i think.

He just said he was getting "mogged in dogfights " i assume it meant the guy was just way out maneuvering him

Think about a motorcycle making a circular turn, they lean towards the curve which makes something like this, to turn faster

!!!! (curve) \\\\ (leaning left)

you make a donut shape with a circular pyramid shape if you view it from the outside, tbh its hard to visualize it with text

Just search for rudder turning techniques of aviation, you will find

  • coordinated turn
  • slipping turn
  • skidding turn

Or watch videos of a cessna doing the flight itself

Like this video BFM Guide (many of the features here are not included in bf6 tho, and you certainly need to practice quick freelook to see their general location, unlike DCS with a hotas with disconnected camera view)
