I hear ya bro, joining an empty server to learn to weave around the landscape/buildings is what helped me. I personally did it in Shang Hi on battlefield 4
It took til 1:55 for anyone to try to lock on. In EVERY single game I tryed any of the helicopters I had 10 people locking on to me within the first 5 seconds.
The scout is ridiculously fun and good without much AA , even with just the pilot. Im not that good of a heli pilot and i got a 63 and 0 game, which is my highest killstreak in any game ever
Scout helicopter in Battlefield 2042 doesn't require skill at all. It is just so cheap to get kills. A semi-decent aim is enough plus you got powerful rocket pods. You can't always get 100+ killstreaks though, this is a rare good game without much lock-ons.
@F. Tonkonst no lmao the AA is op, you bait them with a lock to deploy their flares, fire the missile, finish them off with 3 shots from the dual barrel, and boom. i hope it stays the same so people dont go back to sitting in their corner in the map just firing missiles at random aircraft with no skill required at all
Good flying, communication, and teamwork. What I didn't see was enemy squads doing the same to deter attacks with smoke, M5s, focused fire, etc. What I did see is squads running off separate ways, often ignoring the threat. Anything is OP if not countered. I will say that the auto repair is a bit ridiculous.
If you would play a bit you would know that there is no active counter to helis currently. smoke doesn't help, too much cover for helis to flee to. not a single rocket is one shot
Of course not. Nobody like when this happens except for the 4 in the helicopter. Actually, I wouldn’t even like it in the heli because I would actually want to play the game and not be a repair tool or spotter all game. What they really need to do is make the ttk on scouts much quicker. Playing today, I must have put 500 rounds into a scout heli from a car mounted minigun…. Heli was completely fine….. however me, I got hosed by that chopper in about 50 rounds. I am a pilot. Been too 1% in planes and helicopters in all BFs since bf4, they need a better way to take out helis and planes.
@@reposter6434 actually, this was happening to me a bitch ton. Would pop flares in jets and helis would still get hit? Sooooooooo... i jumped in the aa and literally, you could fire off a missle, stay locked on to whatever it is and when the flares stop, the missle will find the target again and still destroy a part or get a kill. The missle would NEVER explode on the flares, it would fly around an around an around until they were gone, pretty broken but dope lol
@@swarmer5 lol yeah sometimes I get got. Mostly by some solo guy hidden who's tossing grenades and rockets in my back and my team not doing anything to stop him lol
@@reposter6434 Yeah it can be really hard to destroy the AA’s, i was able to do it by starting to damage it while it was landing on the tower. They need to increase rocket damage against vehicles, it can be a pea shooter even against quad bikes and buggys
Honestly the flight mechanics of 3 and 4 weren’t all that hard to master if you took the time to learn them. If you were a casual player and you understood speed control you were most likely going to farm someone who had little to no idea what they’re doing. However if you were a casual pub pilot going against someone who dogfights often you were definitely going to struggle but it’s not like it’s impossible to get a kill or even contest the better pilot. Thus providing a skill gap rewarding the better pilot for time spent mastering that craft. Idk why dice would move away from the model from 3 and 4 in a modern setting and it’s truly disappointing. The mechanics also encouraged team work to take out a pilot if he was dominating the map. Which was one of dice’s main focuses in battlefield. Their decision to rework the flight model into this garbage leaves me perplexed to say the least lmao. 1 and 5 were not the answer either. Simply just go back to 3 or 4.
Simply go back to 3 and 4? Where vehicles were downright broken and anyone retard In their mom can use them?? I recently started playing bf 4 after years and they don’t require any “skill” like you people say. Vehicles are stupid broken in 4 and don’t even get me started with 3…. It’s about time they nerf them. That way you don’t get retards just staying dead waiting for these easy damn vehicles. How about you get used to the new changes they made instead of staying stuck in the past
@@James-pz4sh I wouldn’t say they were low skill if you had the proper team . Had plenty of times in 3/4 where o shot down chops with just simple tank shells..
Battlefield 1 is the worst when it comes to countering aircraft. The bombers can fly out of the AA's range & the AA rocket gun is hard to use at anything over 200m. The only consistent success I've had is w/the tankgewehr, & that doesn't last long, because the coordinated all vehicle squad will start to fly in from multiple directions while pinning you w/a sniper.
Your team's helis/jets are supposed to take care of them - not their problem that the enemy pilots are bad. This is why playing within a clan is so much fun.
You should get the passengers to take the recon grenade as well, they will only have one but if you as the pilot get the ammo box you can chuck one down if you ever need to rep I’ve been throwing the recon grenade out of the heli when I’m soloing and it’s a great way to solo spot
Not having the option to spot (even if you only spot for yourself) is such a deal breaker for me. Spotting was essential to confirm, whether an enemy is friends or foe from a distance (especially if friends and foe look exactly the same, which is just stupid) but also to have an indicator where to shoot if the enemy is blending in with the dark background. Without it, I've found myself shooting aimlessly in the dark hoping I'll hit the person I saw for a moment
@@NoBreakz well not everyone has 20 20 eyesight as you and especially newbies and casuals have a very tough time spotting enemies, especially when they are far away
Oh yeah, they nerfed repair in heli in BF4, but it seems that the devs "kinda forgot about that" here. This shit is so op, also, why the heck is it rolling from side to side the whole game ?
Some people are good in jets, others in helis, me.. I sit in an AA and shoot them all down. Highest streak was 75 🤣 reminds me of the good old days in battlefield getting toxic messages from people who got 100+ in vehicles in every game, except the ones I was in 🤣🤣
@@YourMom-cu8yt well.. thanks :( Usualy i got some guy asking for a 'truce'. Its the 'plz no' shake equivelant of the jets. Which is fine, but now you cant communicate with the other team.
Except it highlights how overpowered a single little helicopter is… This thing would be torn to shreds on a battlefield, but in “battlefield” it’s nearly invincible.
Incase you did not know, the miniguns are not centered like they were in bf4. I believe they will cross to center at about 100-150m. Ao being 10-20-30-40-50 meters away from your target, you will have to choose 1 gun to line up with your target, that is if it is a small target.
I shot so many AA missiles at helis in the beta and so few of them landed due to the ridiculous handling capabilities of the heli. I dont necessarily think the heli needs a nerf as much as the AA launcher needs a buff. The flares are fine, I had one guy dodge 5 heat seeking missiles in a row without ever popping his flares, that's absurd.
Yo Silk, how tf are you flying so nimble? I feel my controls are too stiff, like I can barely turn and move around fast like BF4/2042 Tech preview. Is there something we most tweak in the setting?
@@footedpancake4443 I got max fov, max sense, I just don't understand how my heli is so slow, and it turns like a damn boat. I plugged in an xbox controller and it still maneuvered the same.
As a former BF3 top ranker Heli-Pilot in the World (Salm4n), this brings tears to my eyes 🥲🥲 ...was nice seeing this, I´m trying to come back to my roots. Keep it up 👍
I always enjoy fighting against good pilots like this in the game cause it's so rewarding when you finally take them out. Awesome gameplay and teamwork. I usually run support with an lmg with armor piercing rounds or egineer with turret, aa rockets and same guns.
Me too. Never can fly in any BF games on any controller settings. I just PTFO and t-bag pilots like this when I take ‘em out. Still, these guys are good.
Don't know if i like that helicopters have unlimited ammunition. Makes them very powerful due to rocket spam. I think it would have been better to rather give them a decent amount of rockets, and then once they're empty the player would have to return to base to resupply somewhere. This would encourage helicopters to either withdraw, or start using machine guns. As of now there's no reason to not use rockets.
It takes a long time to fill up the 16 rockets. I think its pretty balanced because the nightbird has almost no health. 2 rockets and it gets detroyed.
@@glitterfart2253 I don't care about that tryhard stuff. I just want this game to make sense. There was a time when Battlefield did make some sense. What does balance mean to you? Does that mean adding handicaps so that everyone have equal chance at success?
What’s crazy is that you did all this amazing work! Literally did WORK on the enemy team. And your team is still losing! Just goes to show how many players there really are 😂 crazy man! Awesome work!
I hope you realize that by farming so hard in the beta, you're making sure the vehicles are going to get nerfed super hard. The helis and jets are so easy to fly. I didn't think they'd go even further casual than BF4 was for flight model, but they did.
Only issue with helis I found was the Anti air launcher even when locked on and fired at a heli (that didn't have flares) the rocket would go towards the heli and then vanish before hitting them, Not sure if it was just a beta bug but I noticed it heaps, I spent ages standing next to ammo boxes firing at the same heli over and over and 1/3 rockets would actually hit (even when I juked flares)
I used to be such a sweaty asshole in BF3 in the attack heli (regualr caspian border 90-0 games) , haven't really played games since and seeing this is giving me heavy nostalgia haha
@@imslagger The very worse Apache in any battlefield. lol Although 2042's Apache is pretty garbage. BC2 chopper physics were horrendous and it was nothing but circles from choppers nonstop in that game it was hilarious to watch, they looked like they were roller skating, absolutely terrible.
Very unfortunately, the Osprey and Hind have the same issue, as the Transport chopper from Battlefield 3 and 4: Potentially really deadly, but the pilot doesn't have a good time because all he can do is fly, stay in place and flare
yeah its insane. out of the like 40 matches i played, about 3 of them were like this. else it was absolutely constant aa spam. literally unplayable. its either finding something else to do, or dodging rockets the whole match. extremely fun and engaging gameplay. and i can only imagine it getting worse when absolutely everyone realizes they should carry handheld aa
I almost only played the scout heli in the beta. Started out on the attack heli but the lack of a gunner made it hard to get a lot of kills going. The scout is OP, you can deal with infantry so easily even without a spotter and I was constantly taking down attack heli's because most of the weren't using a gunner and the scout is just to mobile for a solo pilot to hit their rockets all the time.
Are you tapping W or somethinf? Seems like you're able to fly way more straight faster especially when close to the ground and not having to tilt down. My heli always wanted to climb really hard
This was a bit easier in Beta when no one knew what was going on. Today you would spend a lot more time running from missiles and fighting good enemy pilots. There's always a chance you get on a good server and make this run today, I just don't think it's as easy as it was in Beta. Great piloting skills, good evasion, and near perfect aim... well played.
You had a surprisingly low amount of lock-ons. I’m typically getting lit up every 5 seconds when I fly in those main areas. And the counter measures are complete shit. When you launch flares, within 1 second you are locked again. Also does a red lock-on warning mean they have a solid lock or that they’ve fired already? There’s no way to tell anymore so most of the time I throw flares when it turns red and I get repeatedly get locked and shot anyways
Yea I'm sure it's gonna be changed on release because the lock on sounds were different in the tech test, but you're right it's annoying as shit, when it's red and it's beeping really fast, that's just means they have a full lock, when it's just a steady horn like sound, that means the missile is coming torwards you. And sometimes you can lose the lock on and the missile still curves somewhere and hits you..
Definately great flying!! I found it frustrating as after getting owned by choppers constantly I started using aa missiles however they are pretty much useless on the scout, 1 in 10 hit if you are Lucky (yes after the flares had already been used) I had a squad of 3 with aa and we couldn’t take down a scout.. this needs some work imo. Also minigun vs choppers - scout takes way too little damage - (possibly it they were being repaired but I spent 8 seconds on a scout 100% hitting it and it didn’t even start to smoke. I can understand if it’s the larger attack chopper but the scout has minimal armour and should drop much easier.
I've actually used the tanks for a few hours and they are incredibly fun to use. you just gotta use a really weird playstyle. its vastly different from BF4. you just gotta sit still on one side of the map and kinda snipe things, and once you get hit immediately drive away. everyone has launchers so you cant really fight infantry properly, but once you have the range advantage its really nice
@@HAWKbest it works, and its what tanks are primarily made for. if you wanna roll into objective and die thats your call man. but I prefer moving into tactical positions, killing 30 people, and then rolling onto the next position. people might not like it when theyre on the receiving end, but atleast im helping my team instead of being generally useless..
Mi-240 is so much fun, I literally fly that thing solo and swap seats and farm B. Thing takes like 4 stingers before going down and all the guns on it glass mfers if you can keep it stable. Didn’t think they could make transport chopper more fun but they did it.
@@stacher6955 nope, bots have AI. those are reall players. they absolutely fucking sucks, how can you let a guy go 135 on you like that without much resistance lmfao. like I know AA missiles might not work but fking hell someone call an AA tank ffs
The scout is what I played most during the beta, but I found it super hard to deal with the attack heli lock ons. But they seemed to have just vanished from your match XD Will Definitely be grinding them at launch, learning from you as I go
@@onepeekboom4583 you could get a lucky shot on that fast moving chopper but i seriously doubt it and certainly not consistently. It is not unusual to see pilots go 100+ - 0 in BF but nothing is said or done. if a ground troop does that it 100% aimbots we all know it, does this seem right? we have a chopper that is flying way faster and far more maneuverable than it is in real live, that cannot be taken down by a guided projectile in 1 hit, is self repairing and has boosted in flight repair ability and don't forget unlimited fuel and ammunition. Does this not sound a bit OP?
Whenever I fly any heli I fly out of spawn or even just spawn and get the message "Lock-on" or "Missile incoming" cant even fly 1 minute without getting locked on by someone or something its insane.
Idk how much I like the look of the combat, I haven’t played yet but it looks very bulky and inarticulate, and that’s with one of the best in the world doing it. Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me but hopefully they iron that out.
@@noname772fp2 Yeah, but most people don't know that it could be used for joints, unless they read dictionaries. It's definitely not the first word I would use to describe movement haha.
This is when you need that 1 good squad to kill these rats in the heli. It's not that hard tbh. You need Sundance anti tank so they pop their first flares then 2 teammates shoot the lock on air missle. I've done this before and you get all the helis hiding from you 😂
Helis have ALWAYS been over powered. And when a good pilot is in them, it ruins the game really. I don't like them when they're on my team cause now I don't get to do much, and I hate playing against them because I can't do much against it.
Jets ruin the game. Jets own every server if they are good. Mini-bird doesn't stand a chance against a good jet pilot. You'll be hiding the entire round.
Never touched vehicles in previous battlefields. Decided to try to learn the Little Bird in the beta and had a blast! Tried going to bf4 and pick up the little bird feels different, but not bad. The only issue is that i get shot down 10 seconds after i spawn in.. so ill just fly in the test range till 2042 is released lol
@@kingweezel i have a 3060 and get around 85-100 fps at 1080p with medium settings but as soon as i go up to 1440p which is the resolution of my monitor, i get like 70-80 fps
This game isn’t good imo. It’s like a better version of call of duty that’s it.. the hype was real but after playing this game it’s like nice to have but don’t need it real much. Guns feel but and this bunny hoppin no aim no brain jump stuff is really really bad.
The stearing is way to unreal. It is very bad. Bf3 was the best i dont understand how they leave perfect flying for something like this in their newer so called better games..

you should make a keybind video, tips for flying
i wish
TH-cam rifle aim battlefield 2042 helicopter
I always enjoy fighting against good pilots like this in the game cause it's so rewarding when you finally take them out. Awesome gameplay and teamwork. I usually run support with an lmg with armor piercing rounds or egineer with turret, aa rockets and same guns.
The last time I’ve seen great flying in a AH-6 was Raztix. Nasty gameplay bro, you have my sub 🤘🏾
Nice video ReaperZ Jr. 💪🏼
dude that was amazing! any chance you post your heli settings? would love to compare.
Without mobile-AA.., you going get horribly torture killed by chopper cheater...all the way again & again...lol🙈🙈🙈🤗😂........::/
@@roxy_xcxc6869 you've posted this on every comment. Wtf does it even mean
That look fun but im nostalgic about bf4 heli physic
Then go play bf4
@@kinglucario3436 what a stupid reply
@Nyrox not really
absolutely.. too arcade.. we need advanced flight physics back
@@nyrox46 how? You suck off bf4, go play it. New engine, new physics. If you love bf4 so much go play it damn
I always wonder how pilots fly so fast and keep their aim so steady. Whenever I fly it feels like I'm wading through mud lol.
Controller?
Me too. Never can fly in any BF games on any controller settings. I just PTFO and t-bag pilots like this when I take ‘em out.
Still, these guys are good.
Almost like PC players have an enormous advantage over console players. God I love cross platform gameplay...said no console player ever🙄
*WE NEED THE TRAINING GROUND FROM BF4 SO WE CAN PRACTICE FLYING AMONGST MANY THINGS! THIS LEVEL OF CONTROL IS INCREDIBLE*

Yes
GAME has been the same for 16 years, you better know how to fly by now.
Don't know if i like that helicopters have unlimited ammunition. Makes them very powerful due to rocket spam.
I think it would have been better to rather give them a decent amount of rockets, and then once they're empty the player would have to return to base to resupply somewhere.
This would encourage helicopters to either withdraw, or start using machine guns. As of now there's no reason to not use rockets.
It takes a long time to fill up the 16 rockets. I think its pretty balanced because the nightbird has almost no health. 2 rockets and it gets detroyed.
@@glitterfart2253 I don't care about that tryhard stuff.
I just want this game to make sense. There was a time when Battlefield did make some sense.
What does balance mean to you?
Does that mean adding handicaps so that everyone have equal chance at success?
@@GamesCooky Dude, its a computer game. Stop crying please.
@@GamesCooky this pandemic shit made a lot of people dumber than they were, get a life cooky its a game
@@daniGRewc lol, ok?
Solid work boys! (whitepointer12 ....the OG Aussie DICE friend 😉)
AA missiles are too weak in this game. My squad and I tried to take down choppers.
Range was way to short and lock on took way to long.
they're weak because at anytime 40 enemy players are carrying aa rockets. it's not realistic. aa should cost you a weapon slot or something big.
@@iwhxiwbdiqbxjdb No, that never happens. Its a fictional non-argument.
Helicopters are what I missed the most while playing bfv and bf1. They were fun to fly, but I also liked shooting them down.
What’s crazy is that you did all this amazing work! Literally did WORK on the enemy team. And your team is still losing! Just goes to show how many players there really are 😂 crazy man! Awesome work!
Died laughing at the dudes scattering 17:21
I hope you realize that by farming so hard in the beta, you're making sure the vehicles are going to get nerfed super hard.
The helis and jets are so easy to fly. I didn't think they'd go even further casual than BF4 was for flight model, but they did.
also any vehicle has a lot more opportunity when you have teammates
What was you setup keybind wise? I could not control this anywhere near a stable as this. Did you use a controller or MK?
Silk is the most loved guy on TH-cam yet most hated guy in game that I know of hahaha 🤣
The Duality of Man.
Only issue with helis I found was the Anti air launcher even when locked on and fired at a heli (that didn't have flares) the rocket would go towards the heli and then vanish before hitting them, Not sure if it was just a beta bug but I noticed it heaps, I spent ages standing next to ammo boxes firing at the same heli over and over and 1/3 rockets would actually hit (even when I juked flares)
They added that u can just dodge AA pretty op don’t even need flares lol
I used to be such a sweaty asshole in BF3 in the attack heli (regualr caspian border 90-0 games) , haven't really played games since and seeing this is giving me heavy nostalgia haha
me and my friend were a monster in the apache in bfbc2
A true right of passage in BF is being a 100-0 attack heli chad lol
@@imslagger The very worse Apache in any battlefield. lol Although 2042's Apache is pretty garbage. BC2 chopper physics were horrendous and it was nothing but circles from choppers nonstop in that game it was hilarious to watch, they looked like they were roller skating, absolutely terrible.
Nice plays!
May i ask u one question. Do you roll (left right) with your mouse(standart setting) or do you do it with keyboard
You should try using the SuperHind helicopter.
Three gunners could rack up some nice killstreaks.
Wouldnt the osprey be better since it can swap between hover and jet mode?
I feel like the turrets are to hard to hit people, I play on ps4 so idk if it’s diff on next gen or pc
Very unfortunately, the Osprey and Hind have the same issue, as the Transport chopper from Battlefield 3 and 4: Potentially really deadly, but the pilot doesn't have a good time because all he can do is fly, stay in place and flare
I cant believe how cool this is
The most amazing part of this is how he didn’t lose EA connection
@@reposter6434 same
The Lack of lock ons in this match.. HOW
He moves around the map fatter than they can get air counters to him
Yeah same. Same thing in the last video with the attack heli, barely any lockons what so ever. Wish I had those kind of lobbies.
yeah its insane. out of the like 40 matches i played, about 3 of them were like this. else it was absolutely constant aa spam. literally unplayable. its either finding something else to do, or dodging rockets the whole match. extremely fun and engaging gameplay. and i can only imagine it getting worse when absolutely everyone realizes they should carry handheld aa
I almost only played the scout heli in the beta. Started out on the attack heli but the lack of a gunner made it hard to get a lot of kills going. The scout is OP, you can deal with infantry so easily even without a spotter and I was constantly taking down attack heli's because most of the weren't using a gunner and the scout is just to mobile for a solo pilot to hit their rockets all the time.
why is it when i start to go on a streak in the heli the whole other team loads aa rockets and ruin my day😐
Playing against retards and having 2 of his boyfriends sitting with him in the heli, repairing and scouting. Ez work
@@PimentaDaNeyde Why do you seem offended somebody is utilizing team work in a game that promotes it?
@@RedLancerMoto Makes no sense huh lol
What settings are you using? I'm not able to turn and tilt nearly as fast as you
Are you tapping W or somethinf? Seems like you're able to fly way more straight faster especially when close to the ground and not having to tilt down. My heli always wanted to climb really hard
I feel the same. The physics for choppers in 2042 is so busted.
Now that’s the type of helicopter gameplay I like to see man. Good shit
Without mobile-AA.., you going get horribly torture killed by chopper cheater...all the way again & again...lol🙈🙈🙈🤗😂......////
This was a bit easier in Beta when no one knew what was going on. Today you would spend a lot more time running from missiles and fighting good enemy pilots. There's always a chance you get on a good server and make this run today, I just don't think it's as easy as it was in Beta. Great piloting skills, good evasion, and near perfect aim... well played.
Best one handed experiencing iv had the pleasure of helping you with.🤪
I haven't even played bf 2042 but flying looks much more easier than in bf4
Without mobile-AA.., you going get horribly torture killed by chopper cheater...all the way again & again...lol🙈🙈🙈🤗😂.......//
It " looks " but it's not lol, but it looks cooler than in bf 4
Respect to the guy in the scout heli at 08:23 who went down with his ship
People that bail out when they know they've lost a dogfight are the shittiest players. Take the L bro, you lost, give the killer the credit
You had a surprisingly low amount of lock-ons. I’m typically getting lit up every 5 seconds when I fly in those main areas. And the counter measures are complete shit. When you launch flares, within 1 second you are locked again. Also does a red lock-on warning mean they have a solid lock or that they’ve fired already? There’s no way to tell anymore so most of the time I throw flares when it turns red and I get repeatedly get locked and shot anyways
Yea I'm sure it's gonna be changed on release because the lock on sounds were different in the tech test, but you're right it's annoying as shit, when it's red and it's beeping really fast, that's just means they have a full lock, when it's just a steady horn like sound, that means the missile is coming torwards you. And sometimes you can lose the lock on and the missile still curves somewhere and hits you..
Definately great flying!! I found it frustrating as after getting owned by choppers constantly I started using aa missiles however they are pretty much useless on the scout, 1 in 10 hit if you are Lucky (yes after the flares had already been used) I had a squad of 3 with aa and we couldn’t take down a scout.. this needs some work imo.
Also minigun vs choppers - scout takes way too little damage - (possibly it they were being repaired but I spent 8 seconds on a scout 100% hitting it and it didn’t even start to smoke. I can understand if it’s the larger attack chopper but the scout has minimal armour and should drop much easier.
You’re Nasty in that little bird!
Meanwhile tanks even with a full crew get demolished
I've actually used the tanks for a few hours and they are incredibly fun to use. you just gotta use a really weird playstyle. its vastly different from BF4. you just gotta sit still on one side of the map and kinda snipe things, and once you get hit immediately drive away. everyone has launchers so you cant really fight infantry properly, but once you have the range advantage its really nice
@@pixel6173 BFV trash style...
@@pixel6173 Wow, camping rat playstyle, so amazing
@@HAWKbest it works, and its what tanks are primarily made for. if you wanna roll into objective and die thats your call man. but I prefer moving into tactical positions, killing 30 people, and then rolling onto the next position. people might not like it when theyre on the receiving end, but atleast im helping my team instead of being generally useless..
Mi-240 is so much fun, I literally fly that thing solo and swap seats and farm B. Thing takes like 4 stingers before going down and all the guns on it glass mfers if you can keep it stable. Didn’t think they could make transport chopper more fun but they did it.
As usual, DICE farked up again with the helis
Lmfaoo I've been doing this in the past battlefields but the passengers were all engineers 🤣🙏
absolutely destroying those bots great game man cant wait to see you in the full game
Can't wait to play it!
Bots are marked by [AI] in their name, which pretty sure no one in this video was.
@@StrikeNoir105E please god tell me you’re making a joke
@@stacher6955 nope, bots have AI. those are reall players. they absolutely fucking sucks, how can you let a guy go 135 on you like that without much resistance lmfao. like I know AA missiles might not work but fking hell someone call an AA tank ffs
Gotta enjoy this before they inevitably buff AA or nerf helis
nerf Helios AA is good
How hes flying like this is amazing, any controller recommendations?
I'm not this good, but I suggest playing with the ai for a bit
When i press W to get faster my chopper constantly tries to level itself. Yours seems to dont do it. Why? xD
Yeah same, i think he is pulling mouse up at the same time
Set auto hoover off
@@Adrian-hb5rb where can i find it?
In settings somewhere it's like fly assist or something .. but keeps pulling your nose up and u can't hit anything
@@Adrian-hb5rb helicoptet controll assist is already off
Insane!!! I would’ve never thought a helicopter could take on ground troops. You are very brave my friend.
The scout is what I played most during the beta, but I found it super hard to deal with the attack heli lock ons. But they seemed to have just vanished from your match XD
Will Definitely be grinding them at launch, learning from you as I go
The littlebird shreds attack helis, just get close to them and they're done
Can you make a Video how your setting are for this
Man I need a team like this. I'd sit in the back and repair when needed. I love repairing
You got PS?
Pc
4:50 us Aussies and our war crimes 😂
Epic flying skills but rip the game if there are no counters to this.
RPG
@@onepeekboom4583 you could get a lucky shot on that fast moving chopper but i seriously doubt it and certainly not consistently. It is not unusual to see pilots go 100+ - 0 in BF but nothing is said or done. if a ground troop does that it 100% aimbots we all know it, does this seem right? we have a chopper that is flying way faster and far more maneuverable than it is in real live, that cannot be taken down by a guided projectile in 1 hit, is self repairing and has boosted in flight repair ability and don't forget unlimited fuel and ammunition. Does this not sound a bit OP?
I need more of this SILK
Whenever I fly any heli I fly out of spawn or even just spawn and get the message "Lock-on" or "Missile incoming" cant even fly 1 minute without getting locked on by someone or something its insane.
Sorry man, I love flying but sometimes the helicopters get too much. You have to pull out the aa , big box o ammo, and return fire!
I'm just impressed you're willing to play this game more than anything
Idk how much I like the look of the combat, I haven’t played yet but it looks very bulky and inarticulate, and that’s with one of the best in the world doing it. Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me but hopefully they iron that out.
You mean stiff and too straightforward? I never seen somebody use the word inarticulate to describe gameplay lmao.
@@RedLancerMoto inarticulate: without joints or articulation.
Word does not just refer to speech
@@noname772fp2 Yeah, but most people don't know that it could be used for joints, unless they read dictionaries. It's definitely not the first word I would use to describe movement haha.
"They hate us cause they ain't us!" 😂😂😂
Yep. Absolutely busted air vehicles XD
It's a 3 man littlebird so yeah its going to be pretty hard to take down
This is when you need that 1 good squad to kill these rats in the heli. It's not that hard tbh. You need Sundance anti tank so they pop their first flares then 2 teammates shoot the lock on air missle. I've done this before and you get all the helis hiding from you 😂
This looks like a lot of fun
Beautiful flying brotha
Helis have ALWAYS been over powered. And when a good pilot is in them, it ruins the game really. I don't like them when they're on my team cause now I don't get to do much, and I hate playing against them because I can't do much against it.
Jets ruin the game. Jets own every server if they are good. Mini-bird doesn't stand a chance against a good jet pilot. You'll be hiding the entire round.
@@IIBLaCKBeaRDII Either way, there's a severe power imbalance of air vs ground.
Never touched vehicles in previous battlefields. Decided to try to learn the Little Bird in the beta and had a blast! Tried going to bf4 and pick up the little bird feels different, but not bad.
The only issue is that i get shot down 10 seconds after i spawn in.. so ill just fly in the test range till 2042 is released lol
You have to unlock perks for the heli in 4 to help combat AA. I bet 2042 will have lots of AA on release that we just haven't seen yet.
Wish my pc could run this game as smoothly 😔
@@kingweezel i have a 3060 and get around 85-100 fps at 1080p with medium settings but as soon as i go up to 1440p which is the resolution of my monitor, i get like 70-80 fps
@@brendenhayes587 I got all my shit low, and it runs but it’s real sticky, like I’m getting only 50 FPS, and I did everything to max out my fps
Really enjoyed your video!
annnnnnnd this is why I'll be having cross plat off...GG
Its only overpowered when the other team isnt even trying to take you down
But no one is since guns barely have any bullets
@@charger9155 ...you dont use guns to shoot down a helicopter...
@@SevenPr1me yes but since guns dont have a lot of ammo to start that means more people carry ammo instead of AA or launchers
This game isn’t good imo. It’s like a better version of call of duty that’s it.. the hype was real but after playing this game it’s like nice to have but don’t need it real much. Guns feel but and this bunny hoppin no aim no brain jump stuff is really really bad.
Do you use mouse and keyboard or controller or something else when you’re flying?
The stearing is way to unreal. It is very bad. Bf3 was the best i dont understand how they leave perfect flying for something like this in their newer so called better games..
4:51 committed a war crime🤣
silk ur the only person not over analyzing this beta and respect for that man. you’re just taking the game as it is even tho it’s a beta. tired of all the complaining for a game that’s not even fully out yet, big changes can still be made
I haven't played the game yet but how many people can be in a helicopter?
What do the buttons for the scout do? The radar with 'G' for example?
Nothing like watching someone ruin the game for others, love to see it, doing the lords work
6:14
Casual war crimes with the lads lol
Perhaps the reload time for ammo should be increased to keep helis from circling so long.
