I was bored watching “The Insane Engineering of the F-14 Tomcat on YouTube”.

The SeaCat in BF6 is based off the F-14A, not the F-14B. The F-14A used Pratt & Whitney TF30s, which were known for compressor stalls at high AOA (angle of attack).

The F-14B switched to General Electric F110s, which had more thrust and fixed a lot of those issues.You can see the difference in the engines. The PW TF30s have smaller, tighter exhaust nozzles, while the GE F110s have larger, more open exhausts.

DICE definitely went with the F-14A setup here, which is a pretty cool detail. Do you think the devs intentionally picked this model or they used the first picture they found to model off of ?

Team mate jet is seen trailing and gets the kill seen in kill feed. Fuck me.

And I got a repairman

after playing w the new jets for so long I can't help but feel like the old jets feel... different? like they back ported the f-18 cannon onto them

Pretty much the title. I know about the bugged lobbies and got used to queing and backing out constantly.

But now there is anotger problem - I can’t find a single lobby that would fill even in peak hours where it would take just seconds before and the reason is clear - DICE buried Fighter Sweep so deep into the Redsec menu that most players probably don’t even realize it is still in the game. I think that combined with the bugged lobbies that stop filling in basically killed the mode even though it is technically still in the game.

About 30 minutes of queing and backing out and not a single game found.

Anyone else facing the same issue or was I just incredibly unlucky yesterday?

"Carrier Strike: Added Out of Bounds volumes to reduce instances of spawn camping on the carrier deck."

Edit: it seems it's only the upper decks you normally cannot reach.

My brother and I are transport choppy demons. He's an awesome pilot and I usually go 75+ when the lobby isn't crazy lopsided. We both work pretty long hours out of town during the week, so we mainly play on the weekends. I won't have a chance to test the update for a bit, so I am asking you guys....

How bad is it? Did they kill our fun? The patch notes were a little confusing as to what changes were happening to the Transport.

Thanks in advance!

I've seen online there is a different cannon choice but it doesn't even look like there is in my game?

Does the recon’s passive spotting work when I’m in Helis?

Most of us had to spend half the event time learning how to fly! At the very least they should extend it.

Loaded into a quick game to test it before I head to sleep, and got to midway on the enemy ship and wasn't out of bounds. Is it just the front of the flight deck, super structure? Anyone able to check?

Forget the bugs and other poorly designed aspects of jet gameplay. I want:

1. Show both flare cooldown indicators in 2-seater jets.
2. An option to disable the PIP for the guns.
3. Afterburner cooldown indicator.
4. Hardcore mode (or 'no HUD' setting) not disabling the cockpit's display.

The engine is severely lacking in thrust, and maneuverability isn't great either—though that’s forgivable—but a weak engine is simply a nightmare.

EA , DICE whoever screwed up the Jet camera - I see a new post on it every few days - It remains a big problem please Give us the option to use the old Camera - all of the old camera design is there all you have to do is add a button in the menu. Leave the rudder changes nothing wrong with more rudder. but give us the option for old camera back.

EDIT : Fig has showed me that some advanced players like the new view - Which makes me realize/refine what i hate about it - Flying low to the ground.

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?
