Hi JB! I've watched a few of your older videos a few minutes ago and I'm really glad to see how much you've improved , how energetic you are and how entertaining you became! Keep up the great content !
Solution to the helicopter controls. The devs should at a pitch in the position of forward and reverse buttons. That will give a much more realistic feel.
Jb don't give up. I'm using 3x ac64 joule at 9500 with 2 rads and an averter. I dodge the missiles because I have no flock yet!!! Use evasive maneuvers and incorporate rolls. Plenty of non missiles matches happening but you can out maneuver missiles manually.
people tell me i can dodge with q and e but that never works when i do it. i must be missing something or doing it wrong or just using to heavy and slow builds
in my opinion its the controls that make helicopters so boring to play.. the main problem is looking where you shoot, its so annoying. for example: To aim at someone above you, you have to aim your entire build up, causing you to drop in altitude and go backwards, to aim at someone bellow you, you have to aim your entire build down causing you to drop rapidly in altitude and gain uncontrollable speed. Idk it just makes it feel like your flying a plane rather than a helicopter.. i mean literally, the jet shown in the video was made just because helicopter rotors genuinely feel like a plane instead of what they are meant to be.
On console just hold the brake and accelerator and you will be in a hover kind of mode and can just tilt the craft left and right to strafe. If you need to go forward just let go of the brake.
I don't have a problem with the flights controls. I liked them how they are. You just have to play the nice enough to learn the button and mouse combinations to get the movement you want . It really does work well
Omg i haven't laughed so hard in a long time but watching you turn into a nugget was priceless, and of course you spinning out of control was good too thanks for that 😂. Good video tho, keep it up
You need flares in the front AND the back of your build to ensure missiles dont hit you. If missiles are coming at you head on, having the flares in the back is gonna hurt you. They dont cost any energy so its worth it to do that
Loved the video @JBRider! Can't wait for the next video man! While a lot of Builds on Crossout Look great and Can Play just as Great, I think Gaijin could put a little bit more Work into the "Air Forces" of Crossout. The fight in the Air cannot simply be won by Helicopters and Helicopters alone, Helicopters Actually didn't start to Seriously come into the Military Arsenal until Vietnam with many Pioneering Designs coming out in the Late 1930's and Early 1940's. The Arrival of Helicopters in Crossout, However, will more than likely bring New Life and The Originally Intended Purpose to Tank Designs like the Soviet ZSU-23-4 "Shilka" or the 2K22 Tunguska in the game. The Tunguska could simply get a Few Starfalls and then a Couple of Missiles added to them to complete the Design and Players who've built these Tanks will have a Blast knowing that they Protected their Teammates from getting Wrecked from Above. Let me know what you think about this idea and I'll catch you in your next video man!
JB use helicopters at 6k. I do good with 2 fused whirls side mounted with a petrel and 2 humming birds. 2 fuse blue radiators, and a fused blue cooler. it works pretty good as an art build.
Is it possible to build a helicopter melee build? Boosters and a tusk maybe, cloak up and rip rotors off? Certainly wouldn't be a highly effective build but might be fun to try... 🙃
Hehehe.....that gave a new view on what a helicopter could be!....lol....on the other hanf its kinda sad to see the art builds dont really work well!....amazing episode JB!...thanks for sharing and keep it up!
Yeah you came across the scourge of Crossout right now, groups vs randoms. Makes playing quite unfun for the randoms, and I don't see how it's much fun for the groups either but they must be getting something out of it.
You fire the flock downwards yet the missiles are coming from above ahead of you. The flares you fired are behind you. So of course they will hit you. you should fire them in front if you dont want to be hit from front.
Great video JB!!! Hey. I know its super unconventional but could you run a tusk build with backwards facing bigram legs? Just stay in wheel mode and boost into people. I'm thinking the hight will alow you to hit cabins instead of side armor.
I'm on the fence about getting this BP as well. If I don't continue using the heli mode, then the only semi-useful thing would be the dove minelayer and the homing missile deflect thingy. Some coins on top as well. Is it really worth it?... Can't tell. Cause it's not as fun, tbh.
JB you play with your barrel roll mode activated. You have two different fly modes. You'll have a better time if you play with it off. Use situationally.
How are people getting into these matches with builds without propellers??? On console it will only allow build's with a propeller for this mode but have seen Alot of players running ground builds?
Another great video JB. I personally only play land vehicle in helicopter mode, simply because you get more feature. And mainly because I don't want to be angry against trombones, pyres and hurricanes!
I do this a lot as well. Usually with 3 Spectres or 4 MG13s. Just mount the MG13s sideways in combination with Omni wheels, so you can use them as AA. :)
In the last mode the rotor felt much more maneuverable so dodging missiles was easy for me this time around players say they can dodge missiles easy with the new rotors but I just can't seem to do it. I am using art builds only so maybe that is why.
The controls of helis are fine - it's all about builds / design. I currently have 4 helicopters that are art builds (made RL models In-Game) with different design/purpose and you can really tell the difference in controlling them. You should give thrm a look: MH6 Little Bird (fast, nimble /w 2x Equalizers) MH6 Night Bird (fast, nimble /w 2x Therms) AH64 Apache (heavy, durable /w Joule and 2x Pyralids) AH56 Cheyenne (between all above) /w GL-55 and 2x Pyralids) By '_Devil_Six_' I honestly don't expect any nice/fun gameplay experience from PvP in Crossout at all (this game is hard to be competitive, except for some brawls), but you can still get some fun out of this game in other ways. Off We Go! Brawl showed us a lot of things, how cheap and cheezy players can be (no surprise for me that we see a lot of boxes with guns). But to be fair and honest, homing missiles ain't much of a problem if you're using the right build - it's kinda obvious that slow, steady and giant crafts are being annihilated in the air. The other real thing is your teammates - if you ain't got a support and overrush forward, you'll be more likely targeted by multiple enemies, especially bots. Teammates and Wingmans are important, just like many people forget about PTFO. :)
Hey JBrider! I Posted the Strange half Meta Car Yesterday, Having problems with Heli's? Go play at lower than 8k, its quite fun and more forgiving.... Hate those Pesky Helis?...Use cars designed to shoot down Helis!
Hear me out: heli mode lost its charm when people stopped building stuff that actually resembled a helicopter (Also Hrimfaxi fight music in a JBRider video, it is a most glorious day)
Those helicopter wing structural parts look so disappointing. 40 hp and a measly 50% passthrough. It looks like a great weapon mount spot except it'll get blown off by a breeze.
Jb can you please play a fused humpback thyrsus with averter or omamori and on legs please. Thx and nice vid also it has a reload module and a bootstrap Gen. Pls JB
Okay JB, I have not flown since the last flight patch update... I just flew for hours tonight,.... And I got to try the flight physics.... Holy shit.. its way different. You slide a lot more... like inertia is a huge pull on your craft now... BUTTTTTTT... HOLY fuck its way easier to avoid guided missiles now... I flew with my cloak and barely used it... I just dodged missiles left and right. its all in keeping your speed up.. and using your space along with banks and rolls... 95% of the missiles just kept flying right past me. Bro just practice flying more...
I don’t like flying Boxing shit It look awful the people that is a Box Zooming around And the Non stop Rockets I really Want to Play It I already Build a Antiair craft vehicle and a Helicopter build that look like a Helicopter
I wish they added a minimum weight requirement on fliers so people cant do BOX with auto-aim turrets or auto aim rockets only. it ruins the game so much

Yeah if I hold brake on pc or console it will keep u steady
There's such thing ad Spacebar - its purpose is to stabilize the craft, allowing to just hover and aim at targets.
I don't have a problem with the flights controls. I liked them how they are. You just have to play the nice enough to learn the button and mouse combinations to get the movement you want . It really does work well
I 100% agree 👍
Yeah the only reason I would play helicopter mode again is if they put plastic-batteries-electronics mission rewards.
I really enjoy the heli mode except long wait times and especially the missile spam. Havent played in a week or two because of missile spam.
Helicopter gamemode is a mouthful yeah, people play with meta build to win, not even have fun.
Congrats on the 21k JB slow and steady!
Yes thank you. Might have to join them and play boxes with guns
If you can’t beat them, join them😂
Omg i haven't laughed so hard in a long time but watching you turn into a nugget was priceless, and of course you spinning out of control was good too thanks for that 😂. Good video tho, keep it up
You need flares in the front AND the back of your build to ensure missiles dont hit you. If missiles are coming at you head on, having the flares in the back is gonna hurt you. They dont cost any energy so its worth it to do that
I feel your pain.
Me i stay around 7K when flying
Seems easier to compete
Not so many legendary weps to worry about

Finally! New helicopter episode!
But to be honest like you said it’s not excited anymore like last year. :(
9:24 Mario dead theme lmao
Is it possible to build a helicopter melee build? Boosters and a tusk maybe, cloak up and rip rotors off? Certainly wouldn't be a highly effective build but might be fun to try... 🙃
These builds look INSANE!
Hehehe.....that gave a new view on what a helicopter could be!....lol....on the other hanf its kinda sad to see the art builds dont really work well!....amazing episode JB!...thanks for sharing and keep it up!
I've been enjoying the heli. Gotta watch your altitude & positioning.
9:15 - 9:30 AceH1GHcz here :) Hello mate ! :D
Hurricane + Two Pyres + Trombone and Harpy cab. 8,8k PS
I have fun flying around with Tsunamis
Jb activated Death Blossom. Well done star fighter. LoL.
Yeah you came across the scourge of Crossout right now, groups vs randoms. Makes playing quite unfun for the randoms, and I don't see how it's much fun for the groups either but they must be getting something out of it.
Ayyy, JB! Another amazing vid, hope you are doing well and keep up the great work!
Not my best work but thank you o7
You fire the flock downwards yet the missiles are coming from above ahead of you. The flares you fired are behind you. So of course they will hit you. you should fire them in front if you dont want to be hit from front.
10:22 Interstellar music meme: The prophecy is true... he is beginning to believe!
Great video JB!!! Hey. I know its super unconventional but could you run a tusk build with backwards facing bigram legs? Just stay in wheel mode and boost into people. I'm thinking the hight will alow you to hit cabins instead of side armor.
have u got some videos with pyre? is better the pyre or the hurricane?
The helis fly like drones, i have to say i like it, although the rates need to be turned up so you can fly them a bit easier imho
I'd be nice if the jet build actually had missiles too.
I'm on the fence about getting this BP as well. If I don't continue using the heli mode, then the only semi-useful thing would be the dove minelayer and the homing missile deflect thingy. Some coins on top as well. Is it really worth it?... Can't tell. Cause it's not as fun, tbh.
JB you play with your barrel roll mode activated. You have two different fly modes. You'll have a better time if you play with it off. Use situationally.
How do i turn that off? never heard about that option.
This vid is so funnu xd so many stupid moments 😂
That last build ❤
How are people getting into these matches with builds without propellers??? On console it will only allow build's with a propeller for this mode but have seen Alot of players running ground builds?
Loved the video keep it up bro!!
They should make the flare pods have a periodic firing mode like how War Thunder has, where a flare is fired off every second.
I think they need more range right now it only deflect 10meters from a flare which is very close to you creation
Another great video JB. I personally only play land vehicle in helicopter mode, simply because you get more feature. And mainly because I don't want to be angry against trombones, pyres and hurricanes!
I do this a lot as well. Usually with 3 Spectres or 4 MG13s.
Just mount the MG13s sideways in combination with Omni wheels, so you can use them as AA. :)
I like the editing, more of it 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Can't invert flight controls so I won't be using them, also no way to separate yaw and roll on different sticks (PS4)
on the last helicopter mode i had spark with 3 miniguns
missiles were just nothing to me
In the last mode the rotor felt much more maneuverable so dodging missiles was easy for me this time around players say they can dodge missiles easy with the new rotors but I just can't seem to do it. I am using art builds only so maybe that is why.
I feel the same about the air game right now. Hopefully, the devs can tune it. Air craft , I feel, should have a higher spend generally. Just a bit.
They could add a blueprint restriction, where they simply ban missiles. ;)
So many fun weapons to choose from, but somehow there's always a few unskilled assholes using missiles...
Yep, 2023 was the year creativity died in Crossout.
And an art build with caucuses would slap
Nice video
you need to use space for ground targets.... you need to roll more.....
Great content as always but I stopped playing this mode after just 1 week as got so fed up with all the hurricane & caucasus builds
The controls of helis are fine - it's all about builds / design.
I currently have 4 helicopters that are art builds (made RL models In-Game) with different design/purpose and you can really tell the difference in controlling them. You should give thrm a look:

AH64 Apache (heavy, durable /w Joule and 2x Pyralids)
AH56 Cheyenne (between all above) /w GL-55 and 2x Pyralids)

I honestly don't expect any nice/fun gameplay experience from PvP in Crossout at all (this game is hard to be competitive, except for some brawls), but you can still get some fun out of this game in other ways.

Heli tank unit badass
Hey JBrider! I Posted the Strange half Meta Car Yesterday, Having problems with Heli's? Go play at lower than 8k, its quite fun and more forgiving.... Hate those Pesky Helis?...Use cars designed to shoot down Helis!
I like the helicopter mode nut wish it was respawn .
the general warthunder style of no repawns is what always turns me off
My Clan mate get an AA Cyclon, i set an AA Reaper Build. So we farming Helis so! >:) Awsome! thx 4 Video
Noob question: how do you get propellers?
I Think we don't want Heli mode, but we need Deathmatch game mode.
Hear me out: heli mode lost its charm when people stopped building stuff that actually resembled a helicopter
(Also Hrimfaxi fight music in a JBRider video, it is a most glorious day)
Last tank, could of Gone AA, by landing On the roof.
Those helicopter wing structural parts look so disappointing. 40 hp and a measly 50% passthrough. It looks like a great weapon mount spot except it'll get blown off by a breeze.
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are my favourite
I have found the better the build looks the worse it will do and that is true of cars and planes.
God videos
Personally i play the helicopter mode to geind for scrap becuase the reward is higher
The "Ka 52" build is sadly no longer on the exhibition.
The one with the arbiters never was i can put it if you want it
Bro they added purple rarity porcupines in crossout mobile, and they slap
Construye un misil suicida con las púas que parecen cuchillos
Jb can you please play a fused humpback thyrsus with averter or omamori and on legs please. Thx and nice vid also it has a reload module and a bootstrap Gen. Pls JB
gib revive back!!
Okay JB, I have not flown since the last flight patch update... I just flew for hours tonight,.... And I got to try the flight physics.... Holy shit.. its way different. You slide a lot more... like inertia is a huge pull on your craft now... BUTTTTTTT... HOLY fuck its way easier to avoid guided missiles now... I flew with my cloak and barely used it... I just dodged missiles left and right. its all in keeping your speed up.. and using your space along with banks and rolls... 95% of the missiles just kept flying right past me. Bro just practice flying more...
So far I have only played art build. If i stream tonight I'll only do Heli's and just practice a bit
@JBRider I think 90 speed minimum is a good number for being able to dodge guided rockets.
welcome to hell-i anyone aim lock or guns
I realized the other day there's no relic generators.... I hope they make one that gives 6 energy so my 57mm builds can reload even faster 😂
Is anyone else content with grey weapons? I have fused yellow cabs and weapons and would be content if the game only had grey weapons.
blackhawk down.
I don’t like flying Boxing shit It look awful the people that is a Box Zooming around And the Non stop Rockets I really Want to Play It I already Build a Antiair craft vehicle and a Helicopter build that look like a Helicopter
Say no to helis!
Dont play the mode
Why cuz old men like you want the game to die? One of the only reason I tried out the game is cuz it has both
Momma always told me to watch out for hating ass simple old men.
You mean old men Like you
10:23 :)
Sorry I had to stop watching to much moaning about missiles and other things
I’m just here so that you can say you have 100 comments on this vid(I’m the 100th)
thanks man appreciate it
I wish they added a minimum weight requirement on fliers so people cant do BOX with auto-aim turrets or auto aim rockets only. it ruins the game so much
Helicopter mode sucks. Dont like it.
It was big devs mistakes.
