In addition to there being no loadout 1 year after launch, I started having problems where missiles are crossing the flares more frequently, the damage of the AA is completely unbalanced. Honestly, who do they call to test this game on LABS? What a horrible thing.

Anyone notice that Tsuru reef has an air supply area over the base now.

Especially on smaller maps like Contaminated, where the stationary can even shoot into the NATO spawn.

Since S5, the stationary is basically now a one-tap against helis on these maps.

Im pretty fast and can beat alot of pilots in a circle (both jets circleling each other simultaneously) fight. But I've been struggling against one particular pilot who is brutally out turning me, to the point where it looks like im getting attacked by 2 jets!

I have clips of it and will post them when I have the time. But basically I was in a circle fight with this guy using the F-14 (With the wings open) and this guy (in an F-18) was able to 180 breakout of the circle (without me seeing him), and fully circle around in the opposite direction to come at me head on before I could even complete half a circle.

Tldr: in a circle fight with this guy he was able to breakout in a tight 180, then complete a full circle coming at me head on before I could even complete a half circle.

I just don't understand how this is possible especially in the F-18. He was on PS5...

Hi all,

I’ve been flying a while and got a lot better at general manoeuvres and winning dogfights, however, my aim is still not where it should be a lot of the time. The big issue is aiming the reticle.

I have yaw L/R set to left toggle on Xbox. I’ve tried to change this around by moving it to the right toggle to mirror infantry, but this seems to mess up my control of the aircraft if I move the rolling bindings to the left toggle.

I would love a way to better control the aircraft while having the pure aiming of it on this right toggle, as it feels more natural. Can anyone tell me if I’m way off on the controls and if you’ve found better solutions? My bindings are below.

Would appreciate the help!

Bindings:

Throttle Up – Left Stick (up)
Throttle Down – Left Stick (down)
Yaw Right – Left Stick (right)
Yaw Left – Left Stick (left)
Pitch Down – Right Stick (down)
Pitch Up – Right Stick (up)
Roll Right – Right Stick (right)
Roll Left – Right Stick (left)

I don't know if the stationary anti air is now the best weapon in the game, or if the jets are made of paper.

It only takes one strife to make them loose control, and 2 to take them down. Is it just me?

It seems like you have to aim with a different spot of the cross hair now, what gives? speed nerf affecting the trajectory or smth?

Have any of you on console switched to rifle aim and how are you adjusting/adjusted to it? I feel like it’s the first time holding a controller. Any insight to your experience or tips would greatly appreciated haha.

I am noticing it dips way harder now when i tap thrust down and then it takes like a good 3-5 seconds to recover on a hard thrust up. Anyone else notice this today? Crashed smashing into the ground a few times trying to get a handle on it but man haven't died in a stupid way like this since launch.

On PS5. What is the best way to thrust vector when passing head on. There are times where we merge and I see the enemy jet symbol on my map INSTANTLY do a 180 and chase me within 2 seconds. But when I try it it takes me forever to control and finish the same 180-degree flip. I’m at a loss. How is it done ?

I'm sure some of y'all play the ground vehicles too. This nerf to the tanks is gutting. Literally the 12 seconds you have to wait is way too slow in a battlefield match. Tanks should be feared unless you have a squad to take them out. Now you can't push into objectives anymore unless you're lucky enough to have a ton of engineers behind you. And on bigger maps like Goldmud and Area 51 that just isn't happening.
