Back on PS4 I would play in the test range with the little bird and was very good at landing my shots. But in this game it feels like the vehicle is fighting me at every chance. (On PS5) I find it nearly impossible to keep on target
Xbox pilot with over a 20kd here: I just use default chopper sensitivity. The biggest thing when staying on target with a chopper is taking your thumb of the left stick when you want a steady gun run, and allowing yourself to drift/glide into it with your momentum. Now, this isn't a good idea if there are active tanks around, but if you're sneaking up on vehicles or infantry, it allows quick and steady kills. You can still aim with your right stick if needed, but generally, I try to make sure the angle of the strafe matches the speed/angle of the target. That way, I don't need to adjust at all. You're not using a mouse, so you can't just whip the nose around as easily, so use your chopper movement and momentum to line up the shot. When you actively have people shooting at you, try keeping a decent pace, strafe circling around your target with your nose facing them, which takes both sticks, and shoot when you line up. Again, right stick for fine aim, combined stick chopper movement for target swap and setting yourself into a good momentum. Less speed is more accuracy when it comes to shooting, but carries increased risk. Extra tip for stealth chopper specifically: You can kill tanks and wildcats in a single bomb run. 100 to 0, instantly. Get behind them and begin a soft momentum glide when almost in range. As soon as your reticle is over the rear of the vehicle, drop bombs while aiming your nose down. This will stack the bombs directly on top of each other for an extremely high damage precision instakill. Bomb drop is a mix of momentum and angle. Always bomb in 3rd person. Always. Inversely, if you want to spread your bombs out over a larger area, nose up as you drop to fling bombs out far from one another.
Now that Lis missiles are so stiff turning and slow the only way they're hitting is if you aren't moving fast enough and or your flying in a straight line. The hitbox increase has made the missiles hilariously easy to spray down as well with the obvious icon flying towards you. So in other words its on the pilots to make a mistake for Lis to be useful against the vehicles they're meant to counter.
What annoys me is the face that missiles don’t divert away from the aircraft when flares are deployed, so they can still hit you. This was never an issue in BF4 with the flares.
Nice Tips , i did my little bird T1 in the new season 4 map in 1 week, is my favourite map for shoppa gameplays , just perfect. I could did it before but never wanted play with shoppers until this last season. Other maps are just empty for shopper except 2 or 3 .Nice video By the way .
Also you didn't mention those fire and forget them auto-lock-on rockets the jets get. Those buggers always seem to get me even when I flare good and early.
Yeah the radar missiles are super broken. There's really not much you can do aside from pre-flaring them. I think once you know a jet is going for you it's pretty easier though.
FYI, There’s one more thing that will triggered incoming missile immediately, jets rockets. So in my opinion, just pop flares when getting alert is safest.
Under-radar only blocks lock ons from vehicle launched missiles. It doesn’t stop missiles fired from someone using a handheld launcher. But sometimes it is buggy.
Im not to worried about evading yet, im still trying to figure out how to fly. My problem is the very sensitive controlls. I play on controller, and seems no matter what i set my vehicle sensitivity on, it feels like its maxed out. I feel like a nuub using a high recoil smg where my aim is way off. So i just practice in co-op mode flying around and trying to hit anything. I suck. But im trying. I use co-op mode bc i get more fly time and practice, but it doesnt seem to be advancing me more. I need less sensitive controlls.
Hallo mein Freund!!! Ich habe eine Frage zum deinen Helikopter!!???? Warum habe ich nur 1 Stück AGM Raketen????? Und du 2 Stück AGM??? Und vo hast du Skins für Deinen Helikopter bekommen?????? Danke für Antwort!!!!!
I'm a relatively new player, but keen to learn the helicopter so love your content. But watching your video, if I was on the opposite team while you're in that little bird, I'd probably rage uninstall within maybe 3 deaths.
I can understand that. Just bare in mind that whilst I usually show games where I do well in the helicopter, I also have plenty where I get totally shutdown by the enemy team, and in those cases I won't even try playing heli. So it's often about the other teams willingness to combat it.
@@GhostGamingg lol, fair play. The privilege of creating the content is to get to choose what to show. Still though, credit where its due. You do seem to have nailed chopper piloting. (but I am now googling tips on taking down choppers)
I still think, even after the nerfs, that is not acceptable "Lissile" kills with one shot the Stealth helicopters and the Nightbird. I wouldn't mind if it would take away 90%~95% of your health, fine I can deal with that, but one shot?! Nah.
Idk if its just my game, but the hit boxes for my helis and jets are wayy to big, it appears that i can dodge all aa missiles but they explode near me anyway and kill me 1 shot, makes this shit unplayable
don't be angry with me, butThis heli dont should exist in this game or for some maps, instead should be available two of the AH-64GX Apache for each sides, because good players like you turn this machine unbeatable ( you deserve all the credit for the skills of course) and with 128 players almost no one can play with, turning fly opportunity too rare...
Unfortunately no, your counter measures are the only defense against lock on. So if you get targeted twice in like 20 seconds and can’t get out of there you are pretty much screwed. As soon as I hear that lock on noise I honestly just dip, find another battle. The most important thing about flying a heli is being able to survive long enough to make an impact on the game. Your heli pilot can literally be the difference in whether or not you win the game. Air superiority is bad ass
My fellow console and controller pilots. What sensitivity feels the best for you? I'm having trouble staying on target in this game.
On console it’s very twitchy isn’t it, I struggle with that too
Back on PS4 I would play in the test range with the little bird and was very good at landing my shots. But in this game it feels like the vehicle is fighting me at every chance. (On PS5) I find it nearly impossible to keep on target
Same. Console is nearly impossible compared to BF3/4
I've been trying for so long and I can't hit infantry for shit with the little bird on console. Either I really suck or we're just doomed about it lol

Man you could fit the "the missile knows where it is" meme in this script without it sounding ironic
Amazing video as always!
Nice Tips , i did my little bird T1 in the new season 4 map in 1 week, is my favourite map for shoppa gameplays , just perfect. I could did it before but never wanted play with shoppers until this last season. Other maps are just empty for shopper except 2 or 3 .Nice video By the way .

For controller I would say to switch alternative on the bottom mapping it takes a while to get use too but you’ll def hit more shots
Just switched it today before i read this and my flying is definitely better
FYI, There’s one more thing that will triggered incoming missile immediately, jets rockets. So in my opinion, just pop flares when getting alert is safest.
Under-radar has never worked to break locking for me. I'm licking the ground as I fly over it but I still get whammed
Under-radar only blocks lock ons from vehicle launched missiles.
It doesn’t stop missiles fired from someone using a handheld launcher.
But sometimes it is buggy.
its very possible in the little bird to dodge AA missiles from other helicopters by tilting downwards (if youre facing each other)
Great tips, thank you!
You & Squid-G is making this BF amazing again. TY
Should I use the miniguns or the cannons
Im not to worried about evading yet, im still trying to figure out how to fly. My problem is the very sensitive controlls.

Thanks for the video, I really been enjoying season 4! Did you know when the udate 4.1.0 is shipping out mabey tmrw?
How do you deal with AA base campers on open maps? Like chille desert.
What about the active radar missiles from Jets?. Surely you wouldn't get the 'locking on' or 'locked on' tones?.
Did they restore the chopper's ability to dodge rockets similar to the way it was on beta, or is it still flare and hope for the best?
Hallo mein Freund!!!
Ich habe eine Frage zum deinen Helikopter!!????
Warum habe ich nur 1 Stück AGM Raketen????? Und du 2 Stück AGM???
Und vo hast du Skins für Deinen Helikopter bekommen??????
Danke für Antwort!!!!!
They nerfed it, you only get 1 now :(, skins are from Battle Passes
Спасибо большое за помощь!!!!
Just like in the movies. Is Sylvester Stallone piloting the helicopter?
Great video as usual bud, keap it up can’t wait for the aim video feel like a bot in a heli
Hello, can anyone tell me what the default control settings are to replicate ps4 BF4?
There's no control settings for that

nice flying, I wish I cloud fly like that but I am unable to
This gave me a big brain moment
Have you done a video on your keyboard setup ? If not could you do one. Cause with the default setup you don't archive that agility.
It's in the last episode that I linked in the video - th-cam.com/video/qVoEu3e4ZxM/w-d-xo.html
The missile knows where it is...
I still think, even after the nerfs, that is not acceptable "Lissile" kills with one shot the Stealth helicopters and the Nightbird. I wouldn't mind if it would take away 90%~95% of your health, fine I can deal with that, but one shot?! Nah.
I miss the ECM jammer
Jesus I'd wreck flying like that lmao I'm still trying to learn, hard to do when you play pvp x.x
8:23 I do barrel rolls to troll them xd
Is the attack helicopter useless ? Is the nightbird the only real option because of its mobility?
Attack helicopter has seen a lot of improvements and is now very viable but only with a good gunner.
Thanks for these videos. I really want to be a good helicopter pilot in this game.
My pleasure
can you host a portal server for only flying training? vs bots, and unlimited access to helis and jets? if that is possible anyway
Idk if its just my game, but the hit boxes for my helis and jets are wayy to big, it appears that i can dodge all aa missiles but they explode near me anyway and kill me 1 shot, makes this shit unplayable
🚁 Nice videos like always. 💪
Soon a video about the side of dodging?
Helicopters are reason that i go back to bfv😅😅.its to hard to take down chopper even with two teammates
pretty sure the under radar thing is already gone, bcs it was a bug and not a feature apparently
How do you avoid a rpg?
don't be angry with me, butThis heli dont should exist in this game or for some maps, instead should be available two of the AH-64GX Apache for each sides, because good players like you turn this machine unbeatable ( you deserve all the credit for the skills of course) and with 128 players almost no one can play with, turning fly opportunity too rare...
How to join in good AI map, for training. Tku.

Why dont you show instead of tell
Too late 3 launchers already f u up
👏🚁👏👌🇳🇴🤠
