[@drewbeverley4135]

Last time i was this early there were still things to unlock in BF1.

[@viktorceder4985]

TeaLoafer you have a weird cat

[@drewbeverley4135]

Weird and wonderful

[@viktorceder4985]

TeaLoafer Maybe, but due to that video, you've officially lost the ability to have an opinion, a valid statement or anything else

[@drewbeverley4135]

Is this because i recorded in portrait mode, that shit stays on your record huh?

[@viktorceder4985]

***** definitely... sorry bro

[@finnbazz6315]

At least he didn't gave away our strategy to hop into the back gunner to shoot down attacking planes and quickly hop back into the pilots seat when your done. Oh shit.

[@itsjustanapple5452]

Preston Garvey 5:11

[@dakrawnikg4480]

"Oh shit"

[@GreenHellTube]

I'm good enough with atack plane, but can't aim for shit in third person, my eyesight is too weak to see enemies on the ground and 90% of the time my teammates don't bother spotting any enemies.

[@MATTW3R]

SHHH!! You're giving away our secrets!

[@sibisuresh6624]

yeah man

[@gangang12]

MATTWER what secrets

[@lazzykam]

+Mäyrä 22 the secrets

[@harryprice572]

MATTWER rule number one don't say the secrets

[@CamJablonski]

MATTWER hey go check out my channel. I am levelcapgaming's cousin

[@airman6937]

Tail gunners on console are nearly useless because of the lack of aim assist

[@Ramses4821]

airman123456 I slowed down my hmg turrent sensitive to 90% when playing on PS4 and I shred planes attacking me. Just fly lvl and switch to rear gunner

[@manaba-8607]

airman123456 you just gotta hold still gently move it around when firing

[@prich0382]

Lack of aim assist isn't the problem, the problem is the shitty sensitivity curve we have (Duel Zone), make aiming for me almost impossible in this game. Why can't game developers copy Gears of War 4 where you can make it 1 to 1 as in no acceleration what so ever (so like 50% tilt of stick = 50% speed etc) and also give us dead zone size control. In Gears, it's so easy to aim then, but in BF1, pffff fucking hell it's shit

[@ponyslavestation2973]

If this is giveing u hard time, try playing Battlefront, u will take ur words back about BF1, pc controls for flying its total crap...

[@jamesoloughlin8268]

airman123456 I use them a lot and 90% of the time I take out the engine of the other plane

[@Elchuyboricua]

Defenders in Operations is the best, enemies have no stationary AA, and the Offense pilots usually are taken down by Defenders AA.

[@princealivision]

Elchuyboricua and that is a balance problem ...hope they change that

[@Cloudedbyash]

Elchuyboricua that's why they heavily buffed the attackers

[@jorritvanderkooi939]

Elchuyboricua I almost win always with attack and losse always on defend

[@marchinogrimo3446]

Elchuyboricua what? watch score of attacker and watch score of defending team. attacker score is always better. if i join in defending team i switch without see team.

[@ar-1571]

Elchuyboricuai I am with u on that. And also cuz they have a slightly higher chance of winning

[@RobinTheTiger12309]

Your gameplay makes me wanna play so bad. But when I go play battlefield right after Im not even close to your score :( feelsbadman

[@juant8781]

Robin van de Belt i hate when that happens

[@jeffreymuu5451]

Robin van de Belt I have 11 service star with the attack plane. God damn I love flying in this game

[@nate6907]

On youtube bf1 looks so fun but when i play it i get so bored.

[@OnionRingsGaming]

Ikr, I watch people do so good and I'm like " I wanna do good too " *gets online, gets 3 kills*

[@erikaicarman3184]

Robin van de Belt hes.... not that good. I can get his kd EASY. you want to get really jelly go watch Niccaman. went 161-1 in a fighter plane

[@fakeyhero]

Finally I've been waiting for the plane tips. Keep it up LVL

[@remn851]

I suck ass with planes, it will take a miracle for me to get above 10 kills in any type of plane at once.

[@remn851]

Trevor Brosiedon True, practice makes perfect. And I did the same thing in bf3 too, always felt bad using them cause I always wrecked getting one kill and never used them again. I don't know, planes in bf1 don't do it for me personally. I have insane kill streaks in the artillery truck shooting them down with the AA though, that's fun for me. Especially when they get a vendetta and target me specifically with no chance. I am also very adept at compensating long range with the regular cannon for kills. But doing this sacrifices the PTFO mindset to a degree, although I cap points when it's relatively safe whenever able. But on the right map against good players it's probably saving a lot of my teams ass lol

[@damodgc]

i got twelve kids in one strafe last night goml

[@tostie3110]

Planes just don't give me any satiafaction at all. I like my feet on the ground or in the gunners' seat. I've tried for hours but I still can't do strafing runs. Meanwhile I am now a gunner for my miracle pilot friend.

[@eatmorvegetal3444]

Remn If you don't like planes in Battlefield 1, just try using jets in Battlefield 3 and 4

[@remn851]

Bubba Two-Toes Done Did it, wasn't fun, went back into tanks lol

[@zestyfruitloops6290]

How do you control the planes so well?! I fly in a plane and 2.83 seconds later I crash into the ground. You need to play PS4 and try your best playing pilot LevelCap

[@emanuelgonzalez1975]

ZestyFruit Loops I was shit with planes 1 hour later I dropped 56 kills on operations with the attack plane , you can do it friend just keep trying

[@duckyishappy]

And that my friends is pc fucking master race

[@Mr_Doodleydoo]

Slap My Flap It's far from a million dollars. $500 will get you a great all around build, that outperforms the PS4 Pro. It's possible to build $300 PCs that are better than the consoles, but I'd recommend spending a bit more.

[@diederik6710]

ZestyFruit Loops i play on ps4 i think its pretty easy. if you have bf4 go to the test range or just go onto an empty server on bf1

[@Vigil325]

it's really not that hard, if you know what your doing.

[@Segrub]

thank you! ive been hoping for a video like this for a while

[@nicke5325]

The tank hunter kit on the attack plane is awesome at taking out the airship.

[@Gamerafighter76]

Definitely some good tips and tricks for the attack plane.

[@eazion1958]

The Attack Plane is really a good hybrid between the Fighter and the Bomber, and while I do like the Fighter a bit more due to it's faster speed, the Attack Plane damage output outmatch the Fighter aircraft, and as well as having the back gunner seat is really handy, so I do suggest taking the Attack Plane more

[@Adman-p4j]

FANTASTIC flying guide. Thanks man.

[@owentheginger954]

2 questions from an aspiring pilot, 1. what would you bind throttle up and down (decrease and increase speed) to based on levelcap's control scheme he briefly mentioned and 2. what does he mean by finesse controls? like yaw or just lower sensitivity rolls and pitches? thanks for your time if you see/respond to this!

[@jmcroucher89]

Yes, I have been trying to figure this out as well.

[@milanjamza]

You have level 10 on Pilot and I am happy that I have level 1

[@KB-5.Feldartillerie-Regiment]

Just got level 10 lol

[@escAura]

:) Stayed up all night :) Love you LevelCap *no homo*

[@trapper7954]

I never think about spawning in a plane or any vehicle but it seems very nice, thanks for the usefull tips :)

[@snarlyshot]

great advice. I was piloting, getting better and the tips in the first few min ya gave boosted my game in a match. perfect advice kiddies just listen.

[@seriouslymediocregamers4534]

Good tip - If you get disabled and start spinning out, repairing the plane will stop it from spinning. So if you start repairing at the right time, (I.e when you're leveled out), you can save yourself from crashing into the ground.

[@BulletMagnetMan]

Thanks mate. That's really helpful. I'm struggling like crazy with BF1 at the moment. This may help get me some much needed XP.

[@Tbirdjagger]

Killer vid level cap

[@msammut4]

I've been loving your BF gameplays. I watch them while my newborn is up at night. Thanks for the entertainment man. I always watch the ads and like the videos for support

[@VideoDeadGaming]

Watch mine please, they're much better ;)

[@joshcrotwell8548]

VideoDeadGaming I doubt it

[@VideoDeadGaming]

Josh Crotwell My plane gameplay is way better than this guy

[@msammut4]

Can you guys shut the fuck up. I love getting emails about your responses only to see you're a couple of whiny little douchebags. Go have your hissy fit on someone else's comment. Also, don't tell people to kill themselves over an internet video. Have a little more class than that

[@IndelibleHD]

How's the little one doing? 😊

[@ThePSNGamer14]

as a Experience Pilot, these tips are very well said , and these tips will make you a better pilot

[@SUPRCNL]

If you use this plane on Monte Grappa while you are defending at the bunkers, you can get so many kills because everyone packs at the bunker entrances.

[@NeonVars]

Trench fighter is just as good and more maneuverable.

[@samsboxingexperiment2193]

VΛRZ very true

[@ar-1571]

SUP3RC0N41L, ikr! Like one time, I was on the Austro Hungarian attack plane, I I was gonna see if there were any guys near the San Rocco church, and there were like 4 or 5 guys there and I happened to get em all.

[@NeonVars]

Michael Lizarazu I always wonder what the guys on the ground think when they see an explosion with 4 to 5 bodies flying up in the air haha XD

[@CamJablonski]

SUP3RC0N41L hey check out my channel. I am levelcapgaming's cousin

[@johnobrien6211]

Excellent video

[@sneakymokey]

this is why AA guns should NOT be nerfed. someone as good as level cap basically shitting on everyone for the whole match isn't very fun for the other team.

[@VideoDeadGaming]

They should be! This guy is mediocre at best in planes but an OP AA isn't the answer. He'd be dead in 15 seconds if i was on the other team

[@sneakymokey]

VideoDeadGaming you could make that argument about anything tho.

[@Charlie_Rowe]

Thanks for the tips, Level. Have been wary of the planes. Have not had the best of luck as of yet, but maybe that'll change.

[@ENB-gott]

the best bf1 guide !!!! GG

[@adammcallister5773]

Love the attack plane!

[@AsianClarkKent.]

10:17 Is the most useful info if you're playing PC. Thanks LevelCap!

[@cadengrossman7960]

I love how youtubers always say it's easy to stay up in an attack plane when they constantly have a dedicated gunner

[@covertgaming1628]

I know right

[@lboog7692]

Hey levelcap figuring how this video is relatively new I thought you might see this idea for your next load out video. The British Zulu war loadout 1. Martini Henry 2. Bordeo 1889 Gadgets 1 and 2 your choice Grenade: incendiary or smoke. Melee: pick axe hatchet shovel or combat knife. Hoping you consider this loadout, love your channel keep it coming.

[@tommyirish86]

i finally got the hang of the attack plane, i got 15 kills in about 2 minutes in conquest. Its extremely satisfying!!

[@adir1598]

i just cant control the planes in this game :(

[@commentor2013]

adir 159 are u on pc or console? i play on ps4 and im good with them. i heard its a lot harder on pc to use planes.

[@D3C0Y]

Same. I've tried in empty servers but I just can't control a plane.

[@sibisuresh6624]

its not like other games , u need skills to fly in bf games ;)

[@Cloudedbyash]

Planes in this are really strange. They're different than BF4, but still take a lot of skill to fly

[@AlexGR321]

in every bf game the plane controls are just terrible if u have a controller use it just for flying that works the best

[@omicronquantum8390]

I do like how being a tail gunner is actually enjoyable in BF1. I thought it would be a throw-away position you piggyback on just to get some assist points, but my friends and I love getting on a bomber and being an airborne squad, it really is great fun

[@hr0x70]

I really think dice should change the way fighters work. They could for example buff the minigun and nerf the neddlebombs so it takes more skill to kill someone with the fighter. I recently got an easy 117-1 gameplay with the fighter. It doesnt take that much skill to dominate with it. I miss the bf3 times, where it took dedication and time to master vehicles xD

[@docmiaz]

Very helpful 👍 Do you have a video on best xbox one flying configurations by chance?

[@XblitzfireX]

What would be best for taking out an enemy airship? The tank hunter attack plane or the bomber killer fighter plane?

[@julianalicknavitch3285]

LevelCap, can you make an ultimate tank guide showing all the tank packages, which ones are the best, and tactics on how to help your team and do well?

[@philk5235]

Please explain to us the concept of the setting for ADS Field of View and Uniform Soldier Aiming.

[@bryonhutcheson4407]

Would it be possible to make an updated version of this video? Post-Nerf flying video guide?

[@BlueMonsoonGG]

what kinda settings are best for flying? Should you use the mouse more than keyboard, or a bit of both?

[@gahandi]

Level cap i suggest for taking out the airship, use the airship buster and aim for the nose of the airship, its incredibly effective, even better than aa guns

[@xbbjaix]

You might've answered this somewhere but what controls do you use to speed up or slow down your plane?

[@lynxord]

What control set up do you use? what do you use for yaw?

[@timbo2wheels784]

If you use W&S to pitch forward, what do you use to control the planes speed?

[@afiknat]

what is your controll skeme? i used the same one in bf4 but now i cant fide the coralating skeme for bf1

[@robertog167]

if u drop the bombs on top of the big airship does it deal damage to it

[@evanphillips2126]

Great guide Level, please please please do one for the bomber and fighter as well and their best loadouts; really want to fill out the codex but I'm a pretty terrible pilot!

[@smajin28]

How do you get the first person zoom - in on PS4. And how do you switch to the flares on PS4 too. I am using Veteran Controls. I press triangle but it only switches to primary and the bombs. And when I go in first person, it doesn't zoom - in. It only stays in regular first person.

[@pez69pez]

Whats the best operation to play on considering flying planes??

[@Echocookie8948]

I didn't quite catch how you mapped your keys to do flying with WASD and then aiming with the mouse?

[@Pickle312]

Do you slow the plane down when firing during a strafing run or stay at default speed?

[@gusramirez5647]

what is your accelration and decelaration set to then levelcap? Would you give us a run down of your controls. Thanks!

[@oritalmid9538]

Cool video

[@39smooth66]

I kinda like the attack planes, my fav is definitely the fighter plane with the bomber killer variant due to the more effective guns and the rockets.

[@AstreaHTT]

LevelCap has all the reason is really fun to play with the planes... only if you can take one.

[@jackmehov5788]

I enjoy the attack planes variant air ship buster. Which is fun with the rockets

[@aeggeska1]

Can you put all your plane keyboard/mouse mapping in the description please? Thanks so much for your consistent BF1 youtube content!

[@battedmd]

when I was free looking back towards the battlefield after passes as the trench fighter it allowed me to spot a huge chunk of the battlefield. The ground would just light up with spots. So that is another tip

[@seriosbrad]

What are you using for throttle control instead of W & S?

[@sourcreamskillz2410]

Good video

[@halsti99]

i use standart controlls .. wasd and arrows for flying, when going for an attack run i swap from arrows to mouse to be more percise

[@Ramses4821]

Finally hit level 10 pilot today. The attack plane is so nasty in the right hands. My hands. Lol. I'm getting 50-60 kills per map in operations. My best game so far was 80-4 on motte grappe map and empires edge combined. Love piloting. I use the attack plane or fighter with a trench fighter loadout. I don't get as many kills in the fighter but I can consistently get 15-30 and I always get 6-10 planes destroyed. Nothing more satisfying than one shoting bombers and attack planes with the trench darts

[@dbiac8747]

how do I switch to the tail gunner in an attack plane on an Xbox controller?

[@MyBebopBlues]

Thats some good pointers. I'm always afraid to spawn as the pilot because I don't want to waste a valuable asset to the team

[@fullbeast723]

I noticed that you can slow down the plane where even you start shooting but I don't know how to slow my plane down on ps4. Can anyone tell me what button I have to press ?

[@freedomisntfreeffs]

If you're gonna shoot at aircrafts as infantry I would recommend the Selbstlader, good damage and ballistics with 26 bullets that makes planes flee.

[@robslusarphotography]

I love using this plan, just wish people would spot infantry some more

[@IsaacDiazC]

nice vid man keep the good work can you please give me your bindings for planes?

[@rickybobby9244]

@Levelcap, hey try changing the third person plane camera to static from dynamic

[@lukabannister2296]

Levelcap can you please do a BF1 dlc weapon wish list or something. It would be interesting.

[@rydergreen6600]

I've played as the trench fighter and I feel like it's much better than the attack plane at balance. The trench fighter had air to air capabilities and bombs to use. They aren't super affective but they can kill a group of players quickly. The attack plane is a infantry focused plane and if you don't have fighters in the air, it's great.

[@Dizanta]

i saw alot of infantry kills with the machine gun when u haven't even zoomed in. How do u see the infantry from such a distance and still manage to kill them?

[@noa_zeus]

Loadout:Italian Troop Primary:Automatico M1918 Storm Secondary:Either P08 or something else,your choice Grenade:Gas Melee:Trench Knife Gadget:Dynamite You are a part of Arditi Troops. Make sure you secure Monte Grappa and Empire's Edge. Make Italy proud. Use your Gas Grenades to flush out enemies and then just kill them with Automatico. Use dynamite to destroy blockades. Use tanks to your advantage. Especially Landship. Also if you don't like the Automatico use the HellBagel 1915.

[@5813baby]

You make it looks so easy...

[@macouto8]

I can control the plane well, but my main issue is to spot enemies on the ground to use my primary weapon on. Any tips on that?

[@noparkinginrear44]

So I bought everything I can with my warbonds. but I've capped out at 800. and I stopped earning Watkins's after lvl 70 or so. what's the point of those 800 warbonds? deluxe editions guns?

[@lowetastic8723]

Anyone else feel like a bad ass when they switch seats in the attack plane and take out a fighter in your tail

[@OfficialKitzki]

Did they removed the spotting flare? im lvl 7 and I dont have a spotting flare..

[@clamum]

Cool video. It really makes me wanna fly but I suck so fucking horribly bad that I don't even wanna try and waste the vehicle.

[@Austin-nk2uu]

clamum yeah try practicing in a empty server don't waste the planes in online if you just crash them instantly

[@flonp2396]

Is there a way to hook up a joystick to bf1 planes?

[@Commanderflynn]

God a video when it comes to basic flying tips? KB+M/controller set-ups, etc etc. The lack of a training mode or whatever it was called back in BF4 makes trying to learn planes difficult since you're learning in a live environment and not in the comfort of your own time. I know you talk about it a touch here, but I was hoping maybe something longer that goes into the nuances of flying. I feel like the campaign flying story doesn't do a great job in training people in the bare basics

[@mellomdesyvfjell]

you make all that look so easy. I can't focus on strafing with the machine gun since people are trying to shoot me down...

[@abdou023]

Can you do one for the Bomber?

[@davidsinfield6667]

i use the attack plane religiously, i havent had this much fun flying since bf3. I just attained my 15th sevice star with the attack plane ha.

[@alphahuskyy6766]

Now everybody is going to go for them planes people on ground is going to pissed thanks to level cap good job level cap I mean I don't blame you

[@KC_G4S]

What would you recommend to console players for pilot controls? We kinda get the shaft when it comes to controls for air vehicles in BF1, as you can't map separate sticks to only pitch or roll. The flying in BF1'for consoles needs to be like flying in GTA V, with each stick being pitch and roll and the bumpers being yaw. Having fire be a bumper or trigger is really weird when flying, as you have to make speed a button. Any tips for how to combat these issues?

[@alexgonzaga9443]

My friend went 102-0 in that shit

[@mae9thv3]

My highest was close... 61-1 (death by a flagpole LOL)

[@castro171]

mae9thv3 hate that

[@Rin-jo4yb]

mae9thv3 I hate getting killed by flag poles

[@spacenuts2781]

Alex Gonzaga *Waves fist in the air* DAMN YOU FLAGPOLES

[@Infante760]

"How to be lucky" No enemy AA No enemy plane Currently in BF1, to be a pilot you do not need to have any skills, just luck! In BF3 / BF4 the pilot has ways to combat against mAA and anothers planes.

[@sb17899]

clearly OP is a salty noob that can't stay in the air in BF1

[@prich0382]

BF3 was the best for planes, BF4 was pretty shitty in comparison, BF1 is better then 4 but not as good as 3

[@SaddamHussain-gx9nc]

It’s easier to take a Fight Jet in BF4 than BF1. Trust me, I’m specialized in BF air defense lol

[@magentuspriest]

Anyone else notice how the air vehicle mechanics kind of never changed ever since BF2? Because not every jackass could hop in one, meaning it took on a more specialized role

[@TREditor]

Now that i notice your gamertag in the killlog, i have encountered you in many games. I actually got a cip on you with the attack air plane on Monte Grappa. I share the same opinion the planes are really effective in Operation Mode. You can get 100+ kills if you know how to use it.

[@maxthompson6712]

I am really bad at flying planes and there is no options to changing you controls for the planes to the controls of the Star Wars battlefronts flying controls is there a options I'm not seeing? PS4

[@johnhoang4896]

Level, do you make BF4 loadouts/videos anymore?

[@barryallen8745]

I love the attack plane, but I feel as though there are several issues. 1. if your team does not mark enemies as yours do in this video, it's significantly harder. 2. there are too many AA guns on operations (while playing offense) and if you encounter a guy who makes it a mission to ground You, it will become frustrating. 3. You run into a team that thinks they're Flyboys in their fighters and will literally exist to take you out.

[@DaReaperZ]

Against heavy tanks you can deal between 15-22 damage (with the bombs) each run, quite potent if your guys are sniping at him with AT rocket guns or he's falling back while low. Against light tanks you'll do a lot better, the FT-17 can't take much, but you will most likely need support unless you plan on making many runs at him. Landship is surprisingly just as hard to damage as the heavy tank, so around 20 damage max is what you can cause. Remember! It's always better to steer up than to fly into a tree or something, I sometimes get too cocky and fly into something so it's important to learn, and I've been getting a lot better.

[@troska21]

Can anyone tell me how to aim like he did at 2:35? I'm on Xbox one. I know how to aim the bombs but not the machine gun. Much appreciated

[@jonbrown7737]

I have the same controls for the plane thank you for agreeing

[@brbry.]

Whenever I switch to my secondary gun I don't have a reticle. Was this part of the patch, or is it a glitch?
