Air domination - a PERFECT match with Battlefield 2042's F-35!

Turns out the jets in 2042 are way more useful than they were in the beta! (Even with the default load-out)

Bonus rant between me and Edgard about the missing scoreboard / all chat starting at 13:36 - a little preview of some of the game design issues in 2042 I'm going to be covering in an upcoming video. For now though, enjoy some smooth F-35 action!

[@brandonhallam51]

Jets would be epic if they left the sidewinder and put the AGM and no radar missle into a 3rd weapons slot. Then you can pick between going full anti air or air ground combo

[@jhk8396]

As an aviation lover I'm grossed out by the fact that the missiles are placed on those awkward wing hardpoints. Both the F-35 and Su-57 have internal weapons bays to house missiles, and they animated that properly in BF4 but somehow not in BF2042?

[@jfd9616]

I agree, one thing I do not love about the way how some things were made about battlefield 2042 is..... the designs, they tried to make the game feel semi futuristic by just slightly re modeling vehicles and guns.... For example, the "kriss vector" is fiddled around with a bit, but its just re named as the "K30" Most vehicles are the same, they dont look as futuristic, they look like they were took from the scrap yard and just re arranged around. Small rant in your reply section, just wanted to point out a few things.

[@meaterschmitt8045]

The F-35 can actually have weapons on external hardpoints, just the AIM-9s would be further towards the wingtips instead of being that close to the wingroot.

[@Richard_Diggler]

If the threat of BVR does not loom, the F-35 will most likely carry weapons on external hardpoints. The F-35 Demo Team that practices out of Hill AFB routinely has their hardpoints attached in a similar location. It makes more sense because the weapon can easily be locked and launched without having to wait for the bay doors to open.

[@CrotasScrota]

THATS WHAT I THOUGHT

[@wojtek-thepolishartillerybear]

Never flesh the f35 but "stealth" is right in the name so they should be housed internally lol

[@nemdenemam9753]

You make me want to get this game. That VTOL manouvering seems so much fun.

I've never heard a Brrrt sound more satisfying than the one from the F-35

The A10 would like a word with you.

[@samuwgamer111]

it would be good if on the old gen the affected areas of the map varied each game in such a way as to play the entire map but in several turns maybe in one game a piece of the map and in another game another piece.

[@PromethorYT]

I've been a gamer since Ultima Online but never played a Battlefield game, friends did and I saw lots of content about them and I tried 2042 because friends asked me to play it. The feeling this game gives me is like someone is trying to make a dish using all the available ingredients in the fridge hoping it will please as many people as possible but just end up being a pile of goo.

You think it’s worth flying these tho? I found attack Heli does the job of the Jet 95% of the time plus has the benefit of infantry farming when you’re not going for air superiority.

[@johnsoapmactavish9921]

The main gun on the F-35 is terrible, it’s like shooting airsoft BBS because of the low damage

[@RangerDave]

I think the F-35's main advantage is how fast it can maintain air superiority - I'm not having to duel other choppers, I'm just wiping them out one after the other. By the end of that match most of 'em weren't making it past C1.

[@LyonPercival]

Helichoppers are more risky. The closer you are to the ground the more you get hit damaged hacked

[@penguin_support1801]

@@RangerDave True but you didnt had any good pilots on the other side. The SU57-Felon can turn better than the F35. Also i think you should use the cannons more to get better with them. Both jets should use like in BF4 the laser guided. Even now more than ever bc tanks and AA's cant deflect them anymore and you get 2 AGM's. 3 or 4 of them kill a tank and they replenish fast. Also the 30mm cannon is really good vs everything except tanks and AA.

[@jasrajsandhu1658]

@@RangerDave nah f35 and jets in general are garbage,it'd be better if we complain about jets especially with main cannons,they are very weak

[@jamesb4700]

i don't want to hear the "in real life" argument at all in B2042. It's impossible to hear that statement regarding reasoning for planes and at the same time need to shoot a person 3-4 times with a tank and not completely decimate them. the game is seriously broken. you can't have it both ways. either be realistic, or don't be and fix the game to what the flares are intended for. especially when you have people spamming SAM's

[@chasedean4032]

I think they should add a bomber and mabe add in a missle similar to the army's drone missile hybrid and ether add it to the scout chopper or the f35

[@Mak_0007]

Well BF4 had jdams. They could add those.

[@homefront1999]

It's weird. But vehicles feel weird to play in 2042. Like for example the AA and Scout Heli. They have one gun on both sides of them. But the way they are setup is that the guns don't converge on a single point. While AA it might make a bit more sense. But I find it kind of tough to hit stuff since I'm having to aim slightly off to get one stream of bullets to hit. Then you have the attack heli that just doesn't feel great to fly. BF4 and BF3 had Helicopters set up well. Where you were able to aim and not go flying forward. The final issue is just the bloom on the guns. Like the jet. I will see a large croud of Infantry. But once I start firing then I lose track of them and none of the bullets seem to hit.

[@Tgodson69]

If they had an F-22 in this game with actual game play like thrust vectoring as it does in real life. That would be awesome. AND STUPID OP

The only clip from a different round is the first one in the intro which was too cool to not use somewhere before I deleted it - the rest of the cuts are due to a super annoying file corruption issue I'm having with Shadowplay where the variable frame rate causes severe audio and video skipping every few minutes.

Most aircraft that aren't the transport or little bird aren't even useful unless you get a RangerDave match where the AA is just totally non-existent 90% of the time. Even then the farming capacity is shit anyway. Ever since BF2 DICE just keep dumping on air players.
