It's brilliant that you're encouraging people to move into new aspects of the game, and not just rinse & repeat what they're comfortable with. The breadth of the BF offer (even if this is the worst one, I wouldn't know) separates it completely from other FPS out there right now, and certainly CoD. Nobody gets in a Jet / Heli / Tank and nails it on the first night. so just have some fun and enjoy the magic when you're finally rewarded for your work :D

I honestly think the best way to learn how to counter a certain vehicle is to get familiar with it yourself. In doing so, you find out what is difficult for you to deal with and then can adapt those strategies for your own.

Inspiring, I have always been a boots on the ground squad focused player since BC2, only really dabbling on tank and AA for vehicles. Flying buttons boggle my mind so I always told myself it was bad to take choppers or jets when there are likely good pilots on my team but I didn't even think to fly around in an empty map to learn not crashing.

Yeah it's actually a really valuable resource, since you are right, it feels bad to take a chopper or a jet from someone who knows how to fly when you are likely to just fly it into the ground. Put on a podcast or something and just fly until you get it :) Try it out, just don't be discouraged at the difficulty spike when you move to flying against real players!

As someone who just picked up the game. I'm always impressed at pilots. The dog fights look badass from the ground. I wished I was that good. I tried flying and I can say, I crashed 3 times the amount you did, just myself in the map. This video motivated me to try again. Good job!

Once a good jet pilot is on your tail you won't shake them unless you can outfly or get help from your team. At high levels you can vary your speed and turning angle to outturn or change the angle of your turning circle to intercept the enemy jets, turning tight around buildings and terrain can throw enemy off your tail or make them crash trying to chase you.

You are correct, if you and your friendly jets can dominate the sky it does leave the ground much safer for infantry. I guess the usual thing I see is the jets still ignore the nightbird and other choppers. Which is why I was saying that I also want to play a part in the ground game.

This encourages me to try jets solo but: 1 I don't think I can get a jet in a real game - 2 It would take a very long time for me to learn it - 3 I want my team to win and don't want to take a valuable jet from real pilots. However there have been plenty of opportunities to take control of all other flying vehicles and can use videos on them, including the new hovercraft. I tried the nightbird solo first, I was awful. If anyone can change my mind, it's you. Your approach is the best for me.

1. You would be surprised, jets aren't as popular as helicopters, I've frequently returned to the spawn screen to see two of them waiting going unused. 2. True, it does take some time to learn them. 3. Everyone who is good at flying was at some point bad at it. There are 31, or 63 other players on your team so whether you win or lose isn't completely in your control. I think taking the jet in order to practice is fine. I would say I wouldn't encourage learning the absolute basics in a real game, if you slam into a building without getting anything done because you don't know how to fly, then you did waste it. Flying takes time and I honestly think it is worth adding some air component to your game, as it will help you understand the game more and even help you counter good players, since you'll learn what works effectively and what doesn't.

Interesting start to your pilot career in BF2042. My piloting in the game has purely been with AI. I didn't think about going portal first and then go AI enemies.

I have tried the jets and the stealth heli which i can at least control so i can fly without crashing. Like you i also hate the trees. I find the other helis are much more difficult to fly than the stealth one. I will see if it will be better to go portal for the jets and then progress to AI and then live games.

I think the stealth is the worst chopper right now. It's very easy to kill since it is so large and slow. It's great that it can block lock ons, but honestly, lock ons aren't a threat when you learn to manage your flares appropriately.

It wasn't nearly as bad as I remembered and I got the thing done and played several matches despite sweaty air hogs and my declining K/D. BF 2042 is a lot different and I learned it like you did, against bots who don't really focus on you. Air to ground missiles are what I use mostly, manage to kill some slower (beginner) helis but enemy jets is something I rarely win against.

I've been having a great time with the Hydra rockets lately, they recently buffed them, so they feel much better.

Gotta do a follow up!

Small Tip, use the space for pich up 👆and ctrl to pitch down 👇.Also try to put a specific botton on your mouse or keyboard to look back, any time you make a attack after that look directly back with magnification and try to spot enemies , so it's easier to see next target when you turn around. I use on my mouse a left side key and right mouse to magnification 😉. DPI 1600 field of view on Maximum, jet sensitivity on 100% vehicles sensitivity 15% and coefficient at 0% so it's good for doing the evanish maneuvers like the Tunnel and pretty fast for dog fighting, at the beginning try to go against big targets and try not get cannon hot 🔥, a cool map for training avoid tracking missiles ist the season 4 map FlashPoint if I'm not rong.

In your settings set your jet to auto accelerate, then bind your Afterburner to the W key. Change your roll to the A and D keys and change your rutter (turn left and right) to moise left and right. Now you can move and aim with your mouse like you're playing infantry. In dog fights speed is everything, practice when to use the Afterburner to turn faster and dont use up all of it. You want to use Afterburner when youre about to make a switch or a high-low yoyo. Rutter into your turns, dont just loop in one direction, use your rutters to open the angle and close the angle (high-low yoyo). If you are dog fighting and both of you are looping at the same angle then you are essentially a dog chasing your own tail. You need to rutter left and right to cut the angles so you can get behind the enemy jet.

More people need to try different parts of a Battlefield game. The age-old Battlefield argument about the balance of infantry vs. vehicles would be helpful. There is skill in both. Jets, for instance, are hard to master. Especially with the sheer amount of AA in the game. Dodging missles, Wildcat fire, Stingers, helicopters, and other Jets is a full-time job. Once mastered, you EARNED your kills. The Nightbird is the same way. It's so nimble, yet hard to control. The ground is just as deadly as the other players. The players that dedicated their playtime to mastering these vehicles, have an advantage sure. However, infantry can master their craft to counter. Battlefield has always had these skill gaps. Hence the guys who only play against infantry, hate when a properly skilled pilot wrecks their game. They are the ones who cry that the vehicles need nerfed. Likewise, the pilots who get shot down all the time cry that the AA needs to be nerfed. Both sides could learn to respect the other if they try to master the whole game, not just their favorite parts.

I think instead of nerfing everything to make the top 1 percent less powerful, they should create new counters that are there for people to get good with to fight these really good players.

i kinda hate the fact that the vehicles work differently for each side. Like not only do you have to unlock some stuff for both counterparts of the same vehicle for each side, but one side gets vehicles with different hitboxes to the other and in the case of jets and taxi helis you even get a different funcionality... its just so stupid, they could have easily make some made up machines for both sides that would have more or less similar shape and no unique atributes... it would make the game more fair, as well as unlocks for vehicles being universal... thats how it was in bf4 too

The chopper god that is Silk: kzread.info/dash/bejne/m36YrruEXbmTY7g.htmlsi=vO-YMvTulIMAGS9p I don't personally use infantry aiming, but players that do swear by it. I will warn you that you'll have to re-learn how to fly with them. I didn't change the flight sensitivity from the default value. I think some part of staying on target just takes a lot of practice. Head over to Solo/Coop and farm some AI infantry for a few hours, and it should be feeling much better.

Put your 3rd person fov to max you won't lose people visually as much in dog fights. Max your sensitivity out you turn faster... rebind yaw to your mouse and roll to your keys. You will have to start from scratch again... as for learning how to dog fight google "basic flight manuvers" they help in 2042 but aren't as crucial as bfv. BFV was better for doing manuvers than 2042. Also always look in your rear view in third person. You can't see anyone rear view, need a new ground target... whilst you climb rear view, always look in the rear view whenever you can. Spawn... rear view... also over committing to targets as you put it I say "getting greedy" 😂 when you get greedy you die... never push the limits like that the jets pull up like a fat assed brick. Delay flaring till just before the aa missile hits you get longer before the missiles can re acquire you and you can get to below radar or out turn the other pilot. Set your vehicle vertical aim ratio to 100 as well so you have perfect balance for up down left and right aiming you are aiming in a 3d environment all the time up and down are just as important as left and right. You will also pitch faster which can slow you down but also allow you to loop faster with after burner fluttered on and off. Use the after burner to go up, and through the loop part of a loop not the downward side... you will understand this when you learn about the flying aerial egg thing you will see on KZread in your basic flight manuvers search. But after all this it comes down to experience and learning when and how to cut in on peoples loops etc. Focusing less on what your doing and knowing what they are doing predicting where they are going to be and beating them there.

Wow thanks for the comprehensive tips, I'll definitely check out the basic flight manuvers. I think my vehicle FOV is maxed. I do think I will try to rebind to 'Infantry Aim' controls when I find the time, which is what I think you are describing, even though I'll likely have to relearn flying all again xD I do definitely need to abuse rear view much more, you are right! I completely agree with "fat assed brick".

It's not that everyone uses the infantry stinger missile launcher, believe me i wish that was the case. It's actually just that one guy who's trying to take out the OP pilot that's killing everyone yet noone seems to care. Can't tell you how many times i wish more people would equip the stinger missile. It actually has better range than the wildcat and doesn't have below radar immunity.

I promise you, as a seasoned chopper and at this point a decent jet pilot, stingers are very ineffective at taking out aircraft players who are actually good. The players who farm your team have no issues dealing with and avoiding stingers. You NEED to use another method. M5, RPG skill shots, the Wildcat's 30mm or 35mm cannon at close and medium ranges (camping in the back won't work), Lissiles, TORs main cannon or coaxial shotgun, or MBT HE, or MPAT rounds. All are much more effective than stingers.

Thats the thing you dont let them get behind you. IF they are behind you it is possible but really hard. If the player is the same skill lvl or bettern than you, then you cant shake him off your tail with out significant help from noobs like AA, stinger noob or liz TV. Also the part where you said, that jets dont have an impact or only a little one on the ground vehicles really tells that you didnt play BF 3 and 4. The jets are in 2042 so bad or well were because the devs said they didnt want a jet carry the rounda lone what the attack jet in BF4 did(only if you are really good bc there were enough counters to it).

I definitely remember the jets, mainly the tank buster jets, in BF4 absolutely melting armour. But I never had much trouble with them as infantry. I also remember the AA tanks in BF4 would absolutely decimate aircraft with their main gun, so I think BF2042s balance is kind of a nerfed down version of all of those. I played BF3 on console so the pilots there weren't anything too special.

Ahh okay i played on PC both and few players including me did go on massive killstreaks like 50 to 0 or something like that. In BF3 that was more often but in BF4 that was only possible with the attck jets. On console most players arent good in vehicles, ofc there are some but they cant beat really good pc players at the same vehicle. Its the same in 2042. Yes the console player may kill the pc player in a chopper for example a few times but not consistantly. For the nerfed version its nearly like that but the infantry has way more broken stuff that they shouldnt have like infinite TV's or the Rao hack ability.@@marzipandan767

the jets are honestly so important to the round. good jet pilot -> no enemy jet or helicopters -> your ground team is eating good nothing can kill them really except the other jet so if your pilot is winning those matches they can just clear out the sky, no helicopters means your armor will always have the edge against the enemy armor and that gives your infantry a leg up. probably the single largest impact a single player can have (apart from the nightbird of course which has undergone apotheosis)

Maybe I'm neglecting their overall impact, as you said. It just feels like usually there are always Nightbirds up while I have friendly jets. The new changes to the rockets have been very welcome. They are very valuable at dealing with armour.

I did use the practice mode in BF4 to initially get the hang of chopper flying, its practice range was great for getting the hang of it. It is a shame there isn't anything like that in BF2042 (Portal experiences excluded.).

Well i for once wish for them to bring old dogfighting style (bf4 or 3) and add back old possibilities of interacting with ground (bombing runs, warhog, slowing down mid air even if you run in direction of ground) it felt so much nicer and you were a threat to be dealt with from on the ground, now? Like you said pilots in jets have their own "game" and you can pick up missile pods but why should you? You going to deal with enemy pilots most of the time anyway so go full anti air, defend your attack choppers to deal with armor threats and thats all you need to do. Sad really from dangerous flexible hunter with mostly main gun fights in air and taking care of ground with strafing runs and bomb runs to "Yea take care of helis and enemy jets MOSTLY enemy jets. Why no one talks about vechicles not spawning on the ground btw? Like where is frustration, fun and traps for enemy pilots jumping in the vechicle and people who hunt them, happiness and satifsaction from dealing with a jet camper sniper or engineer?

As a new jet pilot, I cannot comment on the nuance of flying in other games, but from what I have gathered from season pilots the new flying model isn't as flexible as the BF4 one, which is a shame. I was speaking to a friend the other day, they need to add something like JDAMS, or tank buster jets in order for anti-ground flying to be more viable. I miss that so much! In addition, having some capture points coming with vehicles that spawn on the ground when the point is captured.

It just takes practice. I've got some friends in PC who can only fly on controller and have one plugged in ready to go for when they snag a jet. I bet when you first picked up a helicopter, you felt just as uncomfortable, but with time, you became dangerous.

Why do you think that is? Does the flying just feel off in comparison in 2042?

Anyone else use only keyboard when they fly

The choppers are more realistic. The jets are fun, but not realistic. It's a small area so I know why they did it. It's arcade like. I fly Sims like DLC, MSFS.

Is this still true? I thought DICE were fixing this a while back? It does seem really silly to have one jet be at such a big advantage to another.

I feel like you have to be really attentive and just make sure you don't let this happen.

It's hard to start with but you'll get there, when aiming ground targets/ helis at lower altitude with the 25mm aim top left of the target and don't start shooting too early

I'm already improving fairly quickly! Thanks for the advice! I appreciate your support as always Damien!

One of the main things that made me more effective as a jet pilot is accepting that you may not get 50 kills a game, but you need to deny the enemy for as long as you can. What I mean is the Jet is best suited at an AA role, once you take out the enemy jet(s) then your next priority should be gunships and choppers, only when the sky is clear should ground targets be a priority. Unfortunately, my grubby console aim makes it harder to hit infantry, but I still get some and I’m a lot better than I used to be at it! There are some games when you’re being harassed by AA that you’re pretty much just looping around your base waiting for another air vehicle to spawn so you can engage it then return to your base. Sometimes I run with radar/AA missiles if it’s going to be a lot of dogfighting. Pressuring their flares makes it easier for your ground AA to go for them, otherwise the 25mm plus hydra rockets are your best bet, but the jet isn’t really made for solo AT runs. Regarding shaking off the enemy pilot. If they’re good, there aren’t too many things other than standard evasive manoeuvres you can pull off. Sometimes you can try and “Han Solo” them by flying close to the ground and whizzing around obstacles like buildings and the natural geometry. Prior to the afterburner changes, you just held down afterburner and kept turning because that’s the tightest turn radius, but now there is an element of managing your afterburner so you don’t run out in dogfights to ensure your turning is tight enough.

I definitely won't be hitting 50 kills anytime soon. I still think that vehicle kills should count towards something on the scoreboard. The radar missiles are so cheesy xD I come across them a lot when flying in choppers, but in most cases I think it would be faster to just use the main gun to kill them, especially if you can get better with the aim. I've been sticking with the 25mm and the hyrdras. I'm far from making Han Solo plays. When I go below radar to prevent locks its still a 50/50 chance that I'll slam into the ground at this point xD But I'll work on what you said. Thanks for the support Golden! I appreciate it :)
