Flying in far cry 5 is one of the easiest and most basic flight controls in any video game. If you played any older video games, this is a piece of cake
I just had to personally thank you for this excellent video. I can't tell you how frustrating it was for me trying to get through this mission before I found your video. Right after I watched it, I was able to complete this boss fight on the first try. Thanks again!
I gave up on this mission, ignored John's radio announcements, and just completed other missions. After a while, John simply landed at his bunker and called for me to meet him there. Easy!
I didn't do anything actually. I died first so when the game restarted, i wasnt in a plane. So i was making my way back to Nick's place to get his plane. Then all of a sudden I hear over the radio that Father John plane crashed and my waypoint changed to Get John's bunker key.
Lol I died first time then he crashed into my plane and we both went down after the game reloaded all I had to do was go get the key and go to the bunker
thank you. this one was really pissing me off. i absolutely LOATHE the plane controls in this game and it SUCKS they FORCE us to fly them to get through the story... 2 thumbs up bud!
Thanks! A real game-changer for me, both figuratively and literally! I was beginning to think I'm gonna be stuck there forever.. THANKS SO MUCH!! I'm subbing and liking just for this
I used both Nick & Adelaide (Have the "2 guns for hire" Leadership perk active = Just 6 perk points )>Bottom right corner of the Perk list and Downed John on the second Try even though I could not get a Bead on John's Plane and The follow up Bunker mission is a Lone wolf affair (Not succeeded yet) .And I've studied the Walkthrough Vids closely
Im no where close to where hurk is. I went to go to Nicks but i hadnt even finished that mission yet. So idk if it wont start until after i finish john or if nick is dead. Idek but he isnt there and im not sure if ive met adalaide or whatever yet. I got so stressed out that i quit the game and i dont want to even play anymore lol
Lol, after this mission, i went to faiths region, completed some missions there and when i came back to Jonh's region, I found him landed on the ground, didn't have to bother the plane🤣
I tried an unusual strategy. I noticed John will fly around a particular area on the map if you don't chase after him in another plane. I fast travelled close by, then drove to the area under his flight path, and shot at his plane with my heavy machine gun. After a while his plane crash landed and I ran over to the crash site and shot him.
I was trying to melee John to death for that oh so satisfying kill, but Cheeseburger pounced on john and finished him with the maul of death. I should've thought twice before bringing him along.
Another easy way to beat John in the aerial battle is to just turn on classic controls for planes in the settings menu, it allows you to have full control of your plane. (Including barrel rolls)
Sorry I am so late to the show but I am living Far Cry 5 but this one just had me stuck. This video is awesome and I really love your presentation style and editing. It really makes it easy to follow. I am so glad I found your channel and I am looking forward to your other walk throughs! 👍 Subscribed, thanks again for taking the time to do this for us and helping me learn and get through this one!
Sooooo idk if anyone has experienced this way, I failed miserably with the plane, nick fry was unavailable as a gun to hire (mission glitch disappeared). Had no money. Decided to do side missions and find prep stashes. Was on my way to the to save Larry (side missions) and I get bombarded by few than normal cult (night time). Lone behold JOHN comes out of the truck to battle on the ground and a WOLVERINE attacked and killed him for me. Behold WRATH MISSION complete. I was dumbfounded but happy.
EX8MG3 I was trying it out after this video but I was not successful. So I jumped out the plane and got attacked by the other peggies and died like three times. Then out of nowhere I heard that John crashed the plane by himself so all I had to do was approach his dying self and grabbed the keys from his neck. No sweat lol.
Thank you for this, Hurk was the way to go for me, I tried hiring Nick but I talked to him and the mission wouldn't start, so I reached out to Hurk. First attempt failed when he was killed by John's bombs, but second attempt, we got him. Thanks again!
My try was really funny: So rye got john to around half health when he shot nick down but since nick was charging right at him when he got shot down his plane collided with john's and his plane hit a tree.
Legit five minutes into this video it’s playing in the background and John just crashes his plane into a tree without me doing anything, thanks for the help 😂
i remember when i played this mission, i ended up having to run to an outpost, i think it was us auto, and just kept shooting him with a combination of gatling guns, a smg, and a lmg. It was hell.
and here I am, because I kinda missed the Nick mission, really not good at flying planes ... or shooting while flying planes. Took me like 20 attempts, but I finally shot down John with nothing but the plane's machine gun. I'm on PC, but whenever flying is involved, I ditch mouse & keyboard for an Xbox controller. Works well enough
Great ideas to get the job done on John. Had problems with the Landdowns prepper stash & John's plane trying to fly off of the tower to the roof. Figured out that if I landed a helo on the roof.....job completed.
You saved the day with this video. Parachuted to helicopter which is unlocked in ubisoft plus an it was an easy job. Thanks so much the plane controls suck in far cry 5 and 6.
First time I did this mission, I didn't even get to fight John. He randomly crashed into another plane almost immediately. Then Nick shot him down whilst John was parachuting to safety.
I accidentally crashed head on into his plane and died, when I respawned, he was wounded on the ground. I drove after him and shot him. Glitch or not, I'll take it, the planes give me awful motion sickness.
I know about 65.000 words,... i know cool ones like 'antidisestablishmentarianism' and odd phrases like 'priapic onanism' (look THAT one up! lol) but im sitting here completely speechless as to how to thank you,.. you COMPLETELY saved my situation. You provided several ways to save me from my own stupidity. I took to the sky, ready to shoot John Seed in his teeth, but he quickly swatted my paper plane and i died. I tried again, and he chewed through my planes health,... as he did so, i remembered there was another plane at the hangar. Maybe i was mean to take that one?,.. surely it has more health than this bung ride? I landed the plane as soon as possible, and quick traveled to the hangar,.... annnd,... it was gone. Not only that,.. but i couldn't find where i landed the OTHER plane! The tip about the buying the helicopter saved me,... and made beating John Seed one of the greatest moments of my week. Thank you Sir, you're a scholar and a gentlemen!
OHMYGOD THANK YOU i spent a looong time struggling with the plane 'cause i thought you can only use the plane. just swapped with the chopper and finished the quest in under 5 minutes smh
You can also get into dogfighter plane & assign a rostered player then L3 him/her or left to follow & ur assistant will jump in back seat with mini gun to shoot behind you. I think u called him herk, I used idk sum random guy.
I love the flying in this game. Dogfighting with John was actually a very enjoyable experience for me. That being said, I do play on PS4 so it is a little easier for me to fly. Still, fucking awesome game. No regrets buying it whatsoever. I play on hard with minimal HUD too so John gave me a good couple of whacks before I was triumphant.
First time I hate nick because his hire quest but after this mission I love him so much. He can handle it I didn’t do anything even kill John on the ground
Nick was stupid enough to crash into my plane but the helicopter trick did the job. FC boss fights are so annoying, thanks for sharing ideas to shortcut this nonsense.
I had such a struggle trying to take this guy down because like you said, it's hard to maneuver in the dog fight. I opted to buy the helicopter but went about it a different way. As I went back to look for him in the sky, I saw him at his bunker. I landed near him and ran up the hill and shot him on the spot. I took the key and then the real fun began; cleaning out the bunker and saving the prisoners. Thank you sir.
Yeah yknow I wish I saw this sooner. Was about to smash my keyboard, because it turns out if you dogfight him he can also go out of bounds whereas you can't, and yes its so hard to actually get shots to land on his plane in the first place...
As a PC player, I found using an Xbox controller to be very effective. Flying controls are MUCH better on a controller. At this point I use mouse and keyboard on foot and for helicopters and the controller for driving and for planes.
@@player70477 you can go to another hanger get a plane and just jump out any time and pull para. I killed him with a sniper rifle from the ground. But for this to work you first have to agro him with a plane. I was very confused because of the radiotalk. But i think it has 0 influence on the story. I dindn t say yes 3 time and all of a sudden i was in a crazy shootout beforehand
When I first played this mission I saw all the vehicles outside the church and I put proximity bombs on all the exits and a remote explosive on the front door of the church, was upset to find it didn’t work.
I had this playing while doing the fight then I hit the cheapest missile shot and nick finished him. I was listening to details and didn't need the video. That was luck but still thanks for helping or at least trying
So to anyone in that same situation - just exit to menu and then enter the game again. John was on the ground and alive but I only had to kill him once after that 😃
Easy mode = All you need is the leadership perk 2 guns for hire perk, set both but (1) as nick rye in his plane & other as Dan stone as ur back seat gunner fly up target john left analog for Nik to engage & right analog for ur gunner to engage when johns behind u. Together you’ll bring down in no time. Parachute down with john & shoot at him whilst in free fall & when you land fire his ass DEAD. Gg’s…
Thanks for these Awesome tips mate... I felt indeed like Wtf iam never going to manage this atleast in a Dog-Fight like you told the flying in this game is allot of fun only not for Dogfights… Greetings from Belgium you got a new Sub & Like ;)
Or just ram your plane into his, and then you should restart the part and then it will show that you have brought his plane down. After that, just go to where he crashes and shoot him a couple times
- I don't have Nick or Hurk and can't find them because of the mission Wrath already in progress. - I don't have enough money for the launcher or that plane and I literally can't make any money at the moment because of the mission in progress. What to do? I can't find ANY plane to use.
If you have a helicopter with guns that is an alternative. When i used it, John didn't shoot at me at all, so you can take your time and basically hover to get better aim. If you don't have such a helicopter, I wish you luck nonetheless :)
This is one of the worst segments I ever saw in any video game. Flying is done in such a terrible way, that is almost game breaking.
Flying in far cry 5 is one of the easiest and most basic flight controls in any video game. If you played any older video games, this is a piece of cake
@@SL1CEND1CEN Nope, not true. I'm playing video games since '90. and this is one of the worst flying I ever saw.
@@swvi9459 If you had that much experience, you should have flying mastered. If youre having problems, then its your fault, not the games
@@SL1CEND1CEN Nope, it's the game. Your logic is fucked up
@@SL1CEND1CEN the right analogue makes flying awkward but it's all about controlling patiently
OMG OMG OMG THANK YOU IVE BEEN STUCK ON THIS FOREVER
Same
Its so ez!
@@tryingtogetksubscribersw-el7oz ok
I hate flying planes in any game.
In GTA it's ok. Here it's plain stupid! Nobody tested this game (see the Clutch Nixon missions)!
I just had to personally thank you for this excellent video. I can't tell you how frustrating it was for me trying to get through this mission before I found your video. Right after I watched it, I was able to complete this boss fight on the first try. Thanks again!
i went with the heat seeking rocket launcher method, worked like a charm, thank you for this guide!!
I gave up on this mission, ignored John's radio announcements, and just completed other missions. After a while, John simply landed at his bunker and called for me to meet him there. Easy!
And that, kids, is how the REAL walkthrough looks like.
I didn't do anything actually. I died first so when the game restarted, i wasnt in a plane. So i was making my way back to Nick's place to get his plane. Then all of a sudden I hear over the radio that Father John plane crashed and my waypoint changed to Get John's bunker key.
Thats mad
Lol I died first time then he crashed into my plane and we both went down after the game reloaded all I had to do was go get the key and go to the bunker
I really like how you get straight to the point. For that, I will watch the whole video, and you have a new subscriber 😉
I don’t have Nick or Hurk yet and this mission is killing me. No way to quit it either. So dumb.
thank you. this one was really pissing me off. i absolutely LOATHE the plane controls in this game and it SUCKS they FORCE us to fly them to get through the story... 2 thumbs up bud!
You can change the plane options to classic. John is very easy to kill with this mode
You helped me out man thanks. John is skilled in a plane, he knows how to maneuver
AugReady Yeah he really is. Dodges so fast and well. 💕😂
Exactly . The is the best answer . With classic mode it's very , very doable .
Brilliant sir‼️ Stick with the Slack and you won't get whacked, jacked, racked, or shellacked. BOOYAH ‼️👍✌️
Thanks! A real game-changer for me, both figuratively and literally! I was beginning to think I'm gonna be stuck there forever.. THANKS SO MUCH!! I'm subbing and liking just for this
Thanks mate, I used Nick who shot John down in less than a minute first try!
Nick got one shot for me
your summary of the methods was an immediate like and sub. thanks for the video my dude!
I used both Nick & Adelaide (Have the "2 guns for hire" Leadership perk active = Just 6 perk points )>Bottom right corner of the Perk list and Downed John on the second Try even though I could not get a Bead on John's Plane and The follow up Bunker mission is a Lone wolf affair (Not succeeded yet) .And I've studied the Walkthrough Vids closely
I crashed into his plane, fell to earth, and Jess revived me--went on to the next step.

I don't understand this fight. I would light up John's plane, no damage taken. Then my plane explodes no matter where I am. Terrible boss battle.
This fight is 'quit the whole game and start something new' bad
I'm about to do this right now to be honest
I was trying to melee John to death for that oh so satisfying kill, but Cheeseburger pounced on john and finished him with the maul of death. I should've thought twice before bringing him along.
Another easy way to beat John in the aerial battle is to just turn on classic controls for planes in the settings menu, it allows you to have full control of your plane. (Including barrel rolls)

Ill be honest the flying in this game is the worst ive ever seen in my life its actually making me want to delete the game
It’s not Ben that bad gtaVs is the worst in my opinion
Damn that was an annoying mission. Really wish they had made the dogfighting better. Thanks for the tips.
Legit five minutes into this video it’s playing in the background and John just crashes his plane into a tree without me doing anything, thanks for the help 😂
Boss fights where flying is involved irritate the ever loving shit outta me. I do not like flying in games.
I just landed my plane on the road at an unknown location and accidentally found a stationary machine gun... You know the rest, aim at the cockpit
i remember when i played this mission, i ended up having to run to an outpost, i think it was us auto, and just kept shooting him with a combination of gatling guns, a smg, and a lmg. It was hell.

Did it in one go. I'm just proud of myself, I'll let myself out. 🙌🏻

Rocket launcher strat is the best, 2nd best is the combat chopper (method I used) and it worked on my 1st try soooo easy
The Nick Rye tip worked second try, on the first try John just flew into him, killed him and did no damage to his own plane!
the most annoying thing is the refill the rockets with 1000👹👹👹👹
worst mission ever! It blows me away that Ubisoft thought this would be fun. I'm in the plane now and I am shocked. What a car crash of a game.
I call Nick, but he say "I don't see target" lol 😅
Thank you so much for the video, the helicopter tip really helped me
Hurk is really badass. He helped me to pass this mission without waste any money. Thanks Hurk

Me too, budd. :)
Have to do one of the last two. I glitched when crashing my plane in the forest. Respawned on the ground.
You have to go back to the seed ranch and the plane should be their
No better way to end a day at the office than watching Slack kick Far Cry 5's ass . Loving all the walkthroughs !!!
Hope County is so beautiful love the wilderness
There should have been a lock on mechanic for planes

I accidentally left the game unpaused and Nick shot him down while I was watching this video 😂
so so dumb mission, I get instant KO when he start shooting
When I first played, John commandeered a tractor and I had to chase him on foot. It took forever because no cars spawned.
As a PC player, I found using an Xbox controller to be very effective. Flying controls are MUCH better on a controller. At this point I use mouse and keyboard on foot and for helicopters and the controller for driving and for planes.
Chopper is the easiest no questions thanks for the help
