10 Helicopter Tips And Tricks | BattleBit Remastered

[@ratking1330]

You should go over some flight patterns for the little bird. I find circle strafing is extremely effective at taking out targets, since it lets you target a single point for fire while also moving quickly. I use the original controls but Lean forward and roll slightly to the left or right Hold w and tap yaw in the opposite direction until you start flying in a circular motion Point at a target and circle the target, trying to keep the crosshair on target This will keep your aim on point while also not being a static target. Additionally, if you stop tapping yaw and hold w and s at the same time, you'll brake almost immediately, letting you quickly adjust the aim to hit multiple targets, ot aquire a new target to strafe.

[@BIGBodsta]

I learnt that kinda just from watching Montipom’s helicopter gameplay as he is an ace pilot 👀

[@ratking1330]

​@BIGBodsta I used to play a ton of flight sims, so that checks out. Circle strafing was used a ton in the Vietnam war.

[@CheesecakeAndMatcha]

Another thing, blast either fortunate son or topgun music as you lift off, this boosts morale and makes everyone happy, volume is your choice but try to keep it moderate

[@BIGBodsta]

“Volume is your choice” haha! Can show the difference in player for sure

[@killaloekittens2834]

Very good advice. As an engineer player type I like to call out to the pilot the bird's damage percentage. While repairing, the engineer can see the copter's health and can see the damage vs the amount that can be repaired. It dwindles depending upon the types of hits. I suggest if you play as the engineer, to call out an estimate of the damage intermittently so the pilot knows when to RTB. Communication IS the key. You got that one right. And slow circles for the gunners. Keep up the videos and hope to see you in the game!

[@BIGBodsta]

Yea that’s defiantly a handy one to know as a pilot! 🙌 thanks mate

[@Eatlead727]

They need to enable the resupplies at base to heal vehicle operators

[@BIGBodsta]

Seeing that the pilot has to jump out to get healed and then people can potentially yoink it 😩

[@Nigels_Wrld]

medics can climb on nose of chopper an heal pilot. every good pilot needs a good medic

[@lordjaraxxus5418]

Tip 11: don't bother trying to kill a jetski, the driver can just run circles around you to dodge your fire. Wait till the driver gets off, then kill them.

[@BIGBodsta]

Haha good to know

[@icyknightmare4592]

The gunner tips mostly apply to MBTs and light vehicles as well. The remote .50cals aren't stabilized, and if you're driving like a madman your secondary gunner won't be able to hit the broad side of a galaxy.

[@BIGBodsta]

Haha I like that one 😂

[@torxio2650]

[@digita1dope]

I switched yaw and roll and this is exactly how it should be by design. Genius idea man! Thanks for sharing 🍻

[@BIGBodsta]

Glad it was helpful!

Really good stuff right here ^^ Rebound my keys and it worked wonders.

[@BIGBodsta]

Great to hear! 😄

[@trevordrakenor2063]

RoF is reduced and spread is increased when the minigun over heat. at least it felt like that. You do much better firing in burst and letting the gun cool.

[@shwosty]

Best tip for swapping to mouse aiming: Keep your fingers off A and D. You only ever need to tap them to adjust slightly. The mouse is doing most of the work. I also keep a higher dpi on my mouse that I can swap to when flying.

[@BIGBodsta]

I really need to practice with the controls changes so I can be an annoying little bird player

[@theAV8R]

As an IRL pilot converting to arcade game mouse+keyboard, I vouch 100% for swapping yaw and roll controls. To fellow heli pilots, after a few runs, offer your seat in the cockpit to anyone who wants to learn, and coach them! make sure passengers know so they can jump off first =). Notes to our soldiers on the ground - 1. Every time you ping a vehicle's location, you potentially save the lives of everyone on board a friendly chopper you didn't know would have been headed that way to die. 2. When hopping on, ASK, don't TELL, which point we're going to, or where you'd like to be. Common courtesy goes a long way. I'd love to take you to the objective your squad's after as long as it's safe. 3. If you want a turn to fly, just ask! I love teaching players in-game. 4. Be nice to the heli pilots in this game. it's already intimidating enough as it is to learn the ropes without a heli in the shooting range. No sense in making harder for em'. 5. we know about the rope. seriously. barking at me to deploy the rope doesn't make me want to do it any faster.

[@BIGBodsta]

Haha such a nice player 🙌

[@Leonard38838]

Love the gta flying music in the background

[@braincase3903]

great video!! by the way, medics can heal while inside the heli passenger seats, it can be a little finnicky with the blackhawk, theres no real need for gunners to get out, just to switch out to one the back seats

[@BIGBodsta]

Just can’t heal the pilot from the inside which is a main reason to go back, or good coordination with your squad mates and getting someone to swap seats ❤️‍🩹

[@braincase3903]

@@BIGBodsta you can! you just gotta get in one of the seats closest to the pilot and turn ur head towards them as much as u can

Today I was running on waki, jumped, AND I GRABBED A RANDOM HELICOPTER ROPE AND TOOK OFF LIKE JAMES BOND

[@BIGBodsta]

Haha that would have been sick!

[@Cannon2541]

I hadn't considered simply switching roll from mouse to a and d. I've actually gone so far as to hook up my realflight controller, which works, but only poorly, rather than hit things using default controls! So thanks for that! In case anyone is curious how the controller went, I had to hook up w, or the throttle to the channels nob on the controller. Steaams controller setup just doesn't play nice with the throttle part of the left stick. As for how it played, I couldn't easily change throttle, just turn it on or off, but if you have experience with fpv drone piloting, you might find that this makes you not only faster, but damn near impossible to shoot properly

[@BIGBodsta]

Yea I found it impossible to use a controller to shoot targets. I used a controller on BF4 pc only when flying haha. But I have recently made the switch again to roll on a and d and I am getting a lot more kills flying than I did before. Just took a few games to get in control of it haha

[@orderlyhippo1569]

U can hover facing backwards to protect yourself from snipers and use the belly cam

[@BIGBodsta]

Opens up to rpg fire though, why I try and never hover in one place. It looks cooler and more epic for sure though 😅

[@roxrequiem2935]

Battlebit repairman here. Love choppers love the video. Still don't know how to control the damn blackhawk when the pilot died and the gunners were busy fighting a littlebird. Please help, I don't know how to fly!

[@reuzzzuer1856]

Best pro 1337 tip: don't steal armed littlebird to just capture home point

[@KiboraVT]

Honestly, the best advice for controls is ditch Keyboard and mouse altogether and use a controller with dual joysticks. I have my xbox controller plugged into my PC and set up the controls just like i have on Battlefield and its the easiest and best way to pilot because you have so much fine control over movement

[@BIGBodsta]

I just need to do the controller set up properly, but yea that’s what I did in Battlefield haha

[@jackkieffer1017]

Increasing your DPI as the chopper gunner works really well

[@BIGBodsta]

Thanks for the tip 👀

[@dudeg6967]

Is that Borderlands 2 music in the background?

[@BIGBodsta]

GTA5’s flying mission music 😄 I might look into borderlands themes though for future content 👀

[@beakwooda.k.aadregallus8788]

I think you didn't mention that the Black Hawk can get easily one shot by a tank/RPG if it gets hit on tail rotor. Which is why you should never engage on low Altitude in a map that has many tanks. You're asking to get obliterated, also I always prioritize my right side gunner so I avoid getting shot with the left side exposed.

[@BIGBodsta]

Yea I didn’t really talk about that at all haha 😅

[@maitele]

APCs too! They're the closest we have to mobile AA because of it.

[@S1ickPapi]

[@BIGBodsta]

Oooo maybe, I’ll defiantly have to change my controls though for that

[@christopherevasin4142]

can the helicopter pilot heal without getting out of the cockpit?

[@BIGBodsta]

Apparently it’s still pretty touchy to control. I haven’t tried the new controller support yet which is suppose to help it though 😄

[@I.MIGHT.be.death...]

I use the BTR as a mobile AA gun

[@BIGBodsta]

That’s one way to do it 😄

[@I.MIGHT.be.death...]

If you hit the tail rotor the helicopter instantly goes down

[@OniSGF]

shouldve released this earlier so i didnt crash the heli that one time

[@BIGBodsta]

Hahaha I said gentle! 🤣

[@Jistarii]

I do not understand the helicopter, i feel like a retarded person. Background, i've flown choppers in Arma and other Milsims all of the time. I even flew them in previous battlefield games. A and D and W and S I have no problem with. What always happens is I start flying, aim the nose down, fly for awhile, then turn and try to mimic it with my mouse then all hell breaks lose. It wildly plummets to the side and I can never recover. Something is weird about turning with A and D while using your mouse. I really want to get this added in shooting range. I already tried mapping to a joystick and it doesn't work yet.

[@BIGBodsta]

One of the main things that is different is the momentum of the helicopter isn’t as strong as the other games. My flying with basic controls is pretty good, but it sounds like me flying with the better aiming controls. I’m fine until I am trying to recover shooting at someone and then I spiral out of control haha

[@utahnl]

I've been flying racing/stunt drones for a few years and flying helicopters in rust immediately clicked for me, although it felt a bit clunky not having analog yaw control. Battlebit's heli control is really similar to rust's or so i'm told, but it feels very different to me, something really weird is going on with the controls. I tried setting up my ps4 controller with steam's analog emulation on the left joystick for yaw and throttle which made it a little better, but for now i have given up on heli's in battlebit, maybe when they add actual controller support things will be better, or when they fix whatever the frag is going on with the controls/physics.
