How They STOPPED My Jet MASSACRE - Battlefield 4

[@x8reaps]

I got some feedback on the camera, I think personally the windows need to be swapped, so put the gameplay in the camera window and I just wanna see your face cover the entire screen basically.

You got a lil sugar in ya tank

[@SilkOCE]

Me and my friends have been turning around fucked games with the laser and some javelins, gotta fight back against the farmers. Good to see you guys feel the heat lmfao

[@Unknownagitation]

You know you’re a good player when you give the other team a chance so it makes it more interesting for you. Like I hate when I’m on locker and one team is just spawn trapping the other like I want a game.

[@asiamies9153]

Nah, you just know the jet is not balanced

[@squamsh122]

That low pass at 13:17 was just beautiful, also your live commentary was good.

[@kevvsterrr9999]

Camera is awesome, I don’t know if this is my personal preference, but maybe place it on the same height but on the right side of the screen. Good video 👍👍

[@SilkOCE]

Ah yep! Cheers for the feedback

[@KiemPlant]

@@SilkOCE definitely feel like you should flip it (or place it on the right) so that you're looking at the center of the screen. It feels a bit disconnected from the gameplay now.

[@kuwabara4270]

@@KiemPlant I agree, maybe put the Cam in the upper right corner of the screen just slightly below the FPS counter so we can all still see all the action as well as seeing Silk's face and reactions to things that happen in the game.

I counter jets by chasing them with small boat.

[@darrin3088]

I've gotten a lot better at my jets from watching your videos but i play on xb1 so its a little different. I didn't realize how satisfying hitting jdams is haha. Also cam is a good addition to the channel

[@reticentrex8446]

Cam's fine, with regards to your first death to the TOW SOFLAM fly close to terrain or hard cover, it has a chance to collide with it and blow up before your ECM runs out (you probably know this and were just tired but maybe someone reading this will find it useful). Nice vid

[@SilkOCE]

Yeah that's usually the way to do it. I was not being very big brain at 2am

[@LordGedi]

I use to watch your videos on BF5 couple years ago and was amazed by your flying skills , I brought some of that into BF5 and mainly BF1. I’ve started to rewatch your videos and you still haven’t lost it. I should fly more Jets than I should as I’m an all rounder in foot land and air vehicles. Lice how you JDAM, I’m starting to get better at bombing but still miss a lot.

[@aeffectmedia]

[@Nathanealification]

I don’t know, I kinda liked the aesthetic of no camera. It makes your channel more unique. I get it for live feeds and interacting with your community but for finished videos, keep to camera free, it stops you from looking like other streamers. Just my opinion man

[@noemfie]

Just love your channel Silk , stumbled upon it when I started playing BF4 again a few weeks ago , I would love to see the camera on your KB and mouse , think it would be pretty cool , Tx for the entertainment and also the inspiration to get better at the game

[@featgorgon2285]

I know it’s classified as an attack jet, but the Q-5 is one of my favorite dogfight aircraft in the game because it has all the ground attack equipment but at the same time is a capable jet to jet fight aircraft

[@fattuspattus]

A good PLD'er can help maintain lock for any Jav's by leading the target. This allows the PLD to maintain a fix on the target, even if it is interrupted, and thus make a hit from the guided shell/missile more likely, sometimes well after the targeted jet has left PLD range and even well after their countermeasures have finished and are in cool down period. PLD/lockable missiles or gunner SOFLAM/guided shell or TOW combos have proven the bane of many an aerial vehicle driver. An exceptional pilot can still make it hard, and use terrain to their advantage though.

[@omar619kamis]

well said, its something like weird mechanic unexplained by the devs . it seems like PLD locks, once a javlin missile is out even if u ecm and even if you hide behind a building the missile still land , like it doesn't make sense at all. jts probably the only counter for elite pilots and only way around it is pre ecm

[@aj7772]

I like watching these videos bc they give me time to learn ways to fly better in BattleField. I've always loved planes and helicopters and you're a good influence to learn from. I've noticed many things I need to try and things not to do. Hopefully someday I'm as good as you lol

[@weiwu1442]

im starting to refer to silk road as soflam road because of it

[@maxluna8723]

Only thing is that a good aa driver knows to always be moving to avoid jdm bombs and try to stay back at base so if a jet strafe runs you just use the active protection and spot the jet so the base aa and driver just melt the jet

[@sbow2892]

By camping near your own base you're doing a massive favor to a good attack jet pilot...

[@omar619kamis]

active protection doest stop a jet from cannon straffing u to death

[@asiamies9153]

@@sbow2892 not really, that's where the AA is supposed to be, you can also spot the jet so the stationary base AA will also shoot at it

[@sbow2892]

@@asiamies9153 If you can consistently shoot down an attack jet (or any other air vehicle) while sitting in your own base, you're not fighting a good pilot (especially if he dies to base AA :DD).

[@atleZou]

14:00 Hey Silk, i've noticed when you get PLD locked and Javelin/Tow locks-on you kinda just hope for it to be a stinger, instead try to slow down a little bit so the jav/tow starts to circle your jet before your ecm stops and stay close to the ground, 9/10 times it'll hit the ground and you get away safely. Kinda risky but it has saved me so many times when i see multiple lock-ons. I'm a sj pilot tho so might be a little harder in aj but as well as you play i think you can make it a routine. (Not a random pubplayer)

[@JohnRamboPT]

Keep up bro, watching you while u play is even enjoyable, u going to be big in youtube bro lets go

[@976Billybob]

Only way I found to avoid a PLD lock in a jet is fly over land very low. For some reason flying over the water very low they will still hit you. When you’re flying over land at super low altitude the rocket will hit the ground. 👍🏻

[@danielboll52]

Me and my buddies usually take two tanks up to the hills north of a and b flag on golmud, and we run guided shell, soflam and sabot rounds. Not hatin on y’all, mad respect for plane and heli guys cause I can’t fly worth a damn, but after years of gaming we got tired of getting farmed so we started specifically hunting people down on servers that camp vehicles- especially on 24/7 max ticket servers. Recently gotten into the LAV soflam combo, but it isn’t the same. Fly safe my friend, but as you said, don’t push a enemy team too hard lol, it gets boring.

[@KingStarWatch]

Awesome camera. You’re great with how you inform and explain things very well.

[@SasNolan]

Seeing jets being blown up by soflam - is THE MOST satisfying thing in the game.

[@FandangoJepZ]

Like everyone else says, right side so much better. Doesn’t block the game, and looks more natural when you’re looking into the screen for me

[@cdgncgn]

I do not understand why would you want the person on camera at all. Are you trying to build a cult of personality or something ? I was thinking youre here for the content, not the socializing fakery on the net. Next step, no commentary, maybe a text here and there. Streamers are talking heads from what I know and the attention goes usually away from the skill and gameplay to the person. For example I extremely dislike boasters cause it smells of narcissism. One thing for me but not for thee. For example, one could try and make Igla/Stinger and other tutorials. What are the mechanics instead of I got xy kills. Doe the target receive a beep, or missiles, passive vs active, for example out of like 50 matches I managed to get into AA like 2-3 times. They always get taken regardless of me clicking with both hands for double click speed. ANother thing I do not understand infantry field upgrades. I got premium game recently, for 8€ and I see those upgrades, I do not know which of 4 levels work. Last BF game I played seriously was bfbc 2, before that bf 42 all the way. BF 42 alamein was the one I played the most and it was 99,5% vs bots since no internet then. Personally I do not get anything from taking out folks, my vs bot practice made me very good back then. Only when going from keyboard to joystick with smooth moves did it get really great. Energy management was for fighters, bombers each one. You couldnt destroy yourself from excessive speed, but it was way better than pretty much constant max thrust and no losing energy with altitude.Considering that bf 42 had even submarines for PVP and big gun ships in pure pvp, that I never got to try out except on my own made game with nobody on it except myself. COnsider this, the amount of options in 42 - vietnam no shiops, dumbed down physics, no gravity etc. Look at bf 4. When infantry jumps out from up high, they drop like a rock. Vehicles ? empty jets do not drop like a rock from a lack of thrust/lift from wings at all. This was in bf 42 as well. One could say that No bf was as complex and offering as many options to do things as in 42. Early versions didnt have hit registration feedback, later ones did. I would recommend Silk try out bf 42 if he can get it somewhere and play MP. And there all tanks and planes did not fly the same. Spitfire was more maneuverable, Bf 109 seemed to be better in engine department/climb. spit made smaller circles. Balance wasnt complete mirror. I think this made it great. To be on topic, I do not need to see you as a person. I personally do not know you and I consider looking at you where you are like spying on your personal space and you personally. From my perspective is not Where to put that camera, but IF you really want it. IT is not really needed. I understand you make money out of it and that is not my business, but just personally I do not mind not having a camera. I think privacy is great so that you wouldnt need to show yourself because others do it.

[@darkvalkyrienz8393]

Im sure you probably know this but you can use ECM & the ground to avoid a PLD locked rocket if keen enough in jets, while ECM makes the rocket loop around you for a second or so you can make it hit the ground, very situational though. Good luck in a tank though, can be over half the map away and still get popped because they are the better player haha Nice gameplay as always! Camera quality looks good, maybe move the box so it doesn't cover up flag/ticket count?

[@Sparkles1290]

as soon as u see two separate locks always ecm before they shoot. I'm not sure about this, but I think if u hit a tree to stop moving in the jet, it can make the javs/tows go away.

[@_DarkKnight2301_]

My best advice for avoiding the soflam + jav lock is to ECM and get low as fast as possible. If you can get the rocket to hit the ground before the ECM is done, that is your best bet at survival. If you time it perfectly, you can fly under. However, that is much easier to do in a heli than a jet.

[@hei8574]

If you’re getting pld locked ecm and fly low the rocket will end up hitting the floor

"Gonna risk it all just to kill this soflam locker because i dont like him" I very much feel that pls no more beeps but yeah pre-ECM is the only thing you can do and like you said ive found if you hug the ground they crash into the floor, you just got shafted over water so it just came back up

[@TheBruster123]

Love your vids man! was wondering, seeing as you've got a lot of experience in jets, would you do a video on combating air vehicles? I've played a sad amount of hours of bf4. I've always noticed that when a decide pilot gets in a jet, everyone always bitches about the player. "jets are so OP", "f*ck off!", "xxxx is hacking". I'm sure you've heard it all. These players never know how to combat jets in the game and so they just complain, and there aren't very many videos that explain and show people that you can tackle air vehicles, even with very experienced players in them! Keep up the awesome videos mate!

In regards to speed control: is there a control scheme that makes setting speed incremental? It seems like the more you maneuver the jet accelerates so in theory am I supposed to actively slow my speed while maneuvering in order to keep my speed from increasing?

[@berengerchristy6256]

Yes

[@dankmemes8444]

in short, yes. Whenever you are doing a turn you should always brake but not to much. There’s a speed number on ur hud in first person and 313 is the golden number. When maneuvering, always try to stay near that number.

You just spam the button. On PC both left click and space will do the trick, just rapidly press it and it gives you a good chance at getting the vehicle. An additional tip is if you want to see if the vehicle is going to respawn soon or is already in play, press Pause while having that vehicle slot selected, and you’ll be able to get a POV of the vehicle and see if it’s alive or destroyed.
