Planetside 2 || ESF Tutorial || How to transition between forward flight and hover mode

TURN SUBTITLES ON
This tutorial should help you get into hover mode quickly when running into other aircraft. After that, you'll be in a hover fight, and you can apply what you learned in Hover Fighting Basics or other similar tutorials. It also covers how to get back in forward flight, which is very simple, which you can do to look for your next target after winning or even for trying to run away if you're losing.
One transition not covered is the "reverse maneuver", which you can use to get in hover when an ESF is behind you, since that would be worth of its own video. You should be able to find plenty of other tutorials about it though.
Thanks to Savagery for voicing it and to Stax for helping with the clips. And to Colin for posing for the thumbnail I guess...

[@Anthropomorph]

😸Stellar Tutorial. It works both way. I am mainly A.A. this helps me with predicting what pilots will be trying to do and aid in my defeating them as well as using a standard E.S.F. 😿Too bad these tactics will not mesh with a Dervish.....

Isn't there a key you can bind for immediate hover mode? I watch one video that he should which one it was. It was a recent video too about 10months ago

[@mpkstrofftr2690]

No, the closest thing is analog throttle, the one mentioned at 0:47. Some people confuse it with a hover mode toggle but that's wrong, you can see how it still takes a while to get into hover and it won't work if you press it while looking down or afterburn too soon.

Yo. I've been doing esf wrong for how many years?

[@LightningJack]

[@jsadecki1]

How TF did this guy have over 1 MILLION CERTS?!!!!

[@mpkstrofftr2690]

We recorded this in Jaeger, a closed server that's used for tournaments (like Lane Smash) or practicing. Characters have that many certs so people can just hop in and play/compete without having to grind.
