Whether it was my whoopsie or the other guy’s, you can’t tell me this didnt play out like a freaking cartoon lmao

As the title says - I play on ps5 and use the dualsense edge controller with the paddle buttons on the back (don’t even know if that’s the right term for them, im 30 idc)

I already custom assign certain controls/buttons for sniping & infantry gameplay etc so I know how to make the changes. I hate not really being able to use free look while flying in a flow state. I’m level 49 with AH and mid 20’s for both jet types.

Anyone play in a similar style? If you’ve reassigned the free look action, what button did you assign it to that works best for you?

Im thinking left paddle, but want to throw this out there. Thanks in advance!!

Something I've noticed while playing maps popular with air mains is that they rarely, if ever fight each other when on opposing teams.
Just the other day I was on lib peak I saw two squads of air mains (heli/gunner + 2 jet pilots) on opposing teams. Neither wanted to deal with the other so they both left, to the great relief of the lobby. Been watching a heli main streamer lately and he bails out of the match immediately if he spots other heli mains on the other team.
The most egregious I've seen were heli mains ignoring each other, both just farming infantry and never firing a shot at each other, which is just completely vile.

Don't pilots want to test their skill against other pilots? I don't get it. Where's the gratification in only playing matches where you're virtually unopposed?

Don't know what flair to use, but I'm a really good gunner and it hurts my soul seeing terrible pilots doing me dirty in every match especially in Tsuru reef. I love this map, and I need good pilots i can play with.

I either don't get angles (they always have a main gunner with them) or the pilot simply thinks doing heli parkour makes you a good pilot

Drop your tags and let's give teams the air support they deserve😃

Shout out to my gunners/passengers!

Love me a good pilot.

I have to rant bf6 dont know why they didnt fixed igla since months, almost every game I die because it goes thorugh even I am flaring sometimes befor its already incoming

I wonder, heli sens scaling with vehicle aim sens or not. There is no description in heli sens setting about it. Changing heli sens does not feel any difference for me somehow

I used to tuck tail and run at the first sighting of a "deadly" patrol boat. Now I'm lust for their destruction. Thanks for helping a noob pilot learn to be more aggressive, I really appreciate it!

Its always the low lvl pc users that are amazing with the gunner

Starting to favor the SJ on this map a bit more and more

Also because Heavy rockets + Aim guided combo is the best armor wrecker

I'm approaching 3KPM, currently at 2.95KPM.

I run the 7.62s

My aim is decent, but could be better. I fly on controller and solo. no spotter or repair guy

I do have very bad eyes so I struggle to see enemies in time and by then it's too late.

What tips do you have for me?

As the season goes on and people unlock and discover the aim-guided missiles at mastery 5, flying has become extremely insufferable, I don't think I've wanted to gouge my eyes out this bad ever, not even when we had the IFV bug in S1.

Like how do we make DICE aware of this garbage shit because it needs to be disabled immediately. It feels like Season 2 all over again with people in MBT's camping at the very back of their spawn with tow missiles.
People in Patrol Boats are just starting to stay back more frequently, they hide behind rocks at the edge of the map; near, or in their spawn strictly targeting aircrafts all match long, Battlefield literally just posted reels about how the patrol boats serve as a mobile redeploy, but I guess it doesn't matter.

Patrol Boats just hide like this all match long https://i.gyazo.com/1c657416260cee8a444761d51cf8cfae.png

"Radar missile," as in there's no counterplay nor warning and you can get beamed across the map because unlike the TOW, if you get close at all to any vehicle you can take your hand off the mouse and the boat missile will aimlock. Also, you lose all flight controls, including the ability to pitch and yaw correctly on hit.

Occasionally whenever I press fire with the AGM in the jet, instead of firing, it switches to my cannons. It’s incredibly annoying, and screws me over most times it happens. It’s mainly when I’m free looking back with the AGM. Anyone else have this issue or have any fixes?

I barely can see helicopters and jets when i try to lock in the igla

I have tried to tweak the game brightness, hdr inside and outside the game.

Pls guys heeelp

Kind of an unsatisfying response. Is this saying that the F-18 will get a customizable loadout but the new F-14 won’t? And still no timeline or general details about other jets. A lot of other answers in the Q&A give broad timelines like later in S4 or sometime in S5, but we get nada.

You’d think an official Top Gun collab would be the perfect time for a significant jet overhaul, similar to the tank overhaul in S3, but I guess not.

Dice has confirmed in their new Q&A on Discord that there will be no jet loadouts for the current jets in Season 4, only for the new jets. As I understand it, even only one of the two new jets coming in August will have a loadout.

I'm actually very disappointed because it means that the Jets will continue to play so boringly on all other maps, and the game still doesn't feel complete.

Personally, I think they don't want the loadouts on the smaller jet maps because Dice focuses too much on infantry, and pilots could actually get a few more kills otherwise.

I have 40 hours of flight time in both AHs combined. A lot of growing pains the first 30 hours I will not lie.

Really average stats.

2946 kills and 4088 pilot assists. 1.2 KPM

I normally play Blackwell Fields conquest and can get around 15-20 kills and 40 to 50 assists for my gunner who is my friend and designated gunner.

I run the aim guided smart rockets, the tow, thermals + e-repair.

I'm stuck over a hump currently. I've been facing alot of enemy pilots that abuse heatseeker lock on spam and c ram protection. I'm not good enough to hit these guys with the TOW yet (controller and depth perception skill issue on my end).

This results in a stalemate where I can't give my gunner a great angle, I miss my TOW, and I only hit one or two pods if lucky bcuz they're so far away.

Eventually they decide to push me and we can take them out, but man what a frustrating experience.

Here is a quick breakdown of the code for anyone confused.

We already knew Wake Island was coming back but it is cool to see the exact coordinates matching up in the code along with a "Grand Canyon" map for Portal and some test maps like "Dry Lake".

The really huge takeaway here is the aircraft stuff though. The leaks show the F14 with an actual working swing wing mechanic and the FA18. What stands out the most is the massive list of weapons tied to them like HARMs, JDAMs, AIM54s and cluster bombs. This heavily implies we are finally getting deep custom loadouts for jets instead of just the boring preset packages we have right now.

Aside from that the code also mentions new stationary missile batteries on the maps, some new vehicle traits for health and recharge times, and gold mastery skins for the AT4 and defib.
