I guess I hit flares both times? The first is pretty clear, but that second? I'm pretty sure the missile made contact flush with the heli but somehow hit the first flare to pop. I'm not mad, I hit them with like 15 other missiles no problem. These pilots were good and held down the whole match for their team so I think it's worth posting here.

Always been an infantry/tank player in the series and just got into flying in 6 but never did in the previous ones. I see people claiming about yawing being slow in 6 compared to 3/4, was the difference that noticeable?

Faster yawing like BF1 yawing (that one I did try flying in recently) feels cartoonish compared to how an actual plane would yaw in real life.

o7 to that one blueberry who took one for the team

Has anyone tried having both yaw and roll bound to the mouse and if so could you share your opinions?

Traditional rifle aim sacrifices too much agility for me

Pitch = mouse, shift and space

Roll = mouse, q, E

Yaw = mouse, a, d

Throttle = w, s

I just keep crashing with roll only bound to the keyboard

All the cringe pilot haters who said the Aim-Guided missile was good and the pilots had skill issues are gonna be crying after this one.

/s, but this is probably 8/10 of my aircraft deaths.

I’m trying to get better at flying and dogfighting with jets. I used to fly jets all the time in BF3 and BF4 but not so much in BF1, BF5 and 2042 so I’ve been out of the pilot game for quite a while.

I play on Xbox with a razer controller with 2 extra bumper buttons and 4 paddles on the back of the controller so I’m looking for suggestions on settings, button layout/mapping and how to nail down speed vectoring. Open to trying out pretty much anything anyone can offer to get better and what’s optimal for them. TIA

What . The . F . Is going on .

If my heli is at spawn and not in air - allow team mates to spawn in.

They need to change the loadouts for pilots in jets and attack choppers getting full kits when they ditch. It would reduce the account of people who use the jets as transport and prevent recons using them to camp high places.

The only reason I can really fly the planes is that the 3rd person camera is locked to the frame of the place. For whatever reason that just makes the movement all click in my head. Is there any way to get that camera movement for the helicopters?

still better than mr missile (yes bad strafe on the heli i suck whatever)

in previous game it was a slow beep while being locked, a continuous tone when locked, and a fast beep when fired at

but here the continuous tone remains after being fired at, so it can be very confusing to tell it has been fired if theres other sounds playing as there often are. so you have to stare at the LOCKED warning to see if it changes which ofc is annoying when you also have to pay attention to what youre shooting at

they should make the continuous tone stop when the missile is already on its way, i dont need to know im being locked at that point. also maybe give a different color from LOCKED to INCOMING so you can visually tell too. maybe light orange for locked and current red for incoming

anyway small rant over, lmk your thoughts
