Pushing the MD540 Nightbird to its LIMITS! - Battlefield 2042

So I had 120 kills, assists and vehicle destroys until I unlocked the Tier 1 Nightbird skin. I went as hard as possible to try and make it happen in one game of Conquest!

When Silk flies, 1 lock-on per 45 seconds, when I fly everyone and their mama has an AA. Great video as always

[@bartholomaios5211]

don't forget Sundance Lock-on Grenade😂😂

[@UCECRUSH]

@@bartholomaios5211 there’s barely cover on most maps but getting kills while it lasts is rewarding. I’ve found it really annoying that the majority of players from consoles use the air vehicles to get to a location and ditch it. I don’t understand the timer on how the vehicles spawn because sometimes the timer will be up and nothing is a available

[@StevenMaff]

thats him flying low, fast and crazy maneuvers, exactly knowing where the lock-ons are coming from and just killing them all lol

[@digitalfox4790]

@@UCECRUSH the timer when you go to respawn is a cooldown mechanic so one person cant keep getting a vehicle, it gives others a chance to fly or drive

[@s23900]

I think this round he filmed would be an example of a game where the other team had zero cohesion and not many players willing to devote their loadout/effort to an Anti Air role. I exclusively fly helicopters (no infantry, tanks, etc) and every server/game is slightly different. I'd say 1 in 5 or maybe 1 in 7 games are like this where you are just basically unopposed in the air and totally wreck everyone. I also encounter games where I can't stay in the air with attack choppers at all, and only for minutes at a time with the night bird, also about 1 in 5.. Whenever there is a squad that works together with AA missiles and hacking, I'm basically SOL. Same for when an attack chopper, nightbird, and/or jet are working together to take out enemy aircraft.

[@luketolle7673]

This is the first battlefield I have tried to fly in and I had no idea how hard it was. You make it look effortless man good stuff

[@jessedemler7501]

To be fair my man this game is garbage for flying so don't feel too bad lol. Try out BF3 and BF4 if you wanna have real fun

[@KevInfamousYT]

yeah, they integrated new bs flight controls, try bf4.

[@DooDooDaddyTV]

[@JZStudiosonline]

Mister ' refund' seems to enjoying himself with the game

[@homefront1999]

Honestly, it feels like Battlefield kind of forgot that with 64-Players per team. That only have a couple vehicle spawns is a bad idea. I struggle to be able to get into a vehicle other then the jeep transport. Especially Attack Heli's and Planes.

[@beric0bartman]

On every other channel people complain about too many lol. I think it's currently designed so there's not 7 of every vehicle on the map at the same time but they spawn quite quickly so they dont have a lot o of downtime, and multiple people get to play them.

[@beric0bartman]

If you get used to the timings you can take a lot more vehicles, i played the first 15 levels infantry only basically untill i got into the flow of vehicles.

[@bahbahbah182]

Just sit in the vehicle menu they pop up a lot. Especially choppers there’s a lot of inexperienced pilots getting shot down by all of the aa in the game. I usually spend about 30 seconds in the menu before I get in a chopper or even a tank

[@olliee2353]

bruh are you saying they need to add more vehicles? They need to REDUCE vehicles bruh.

[@short-eu7bs]

@@olliee2353 nah it's fine how it is, just bring anti vehicle shit and you're good. If you don't bring anti vehicle shit you'll get fucked though

8:39 Literally how I feel when I’m flying the Hind, and when my three gunners are absolutely dominating. I’ve never had to evade so much to get away from all the stinger wieners.

[@Kilogram999]

Watching this live was insane

[@talldude8155]

@Adel Bazzine sus

[@multifister47]

They way he just effortlessly chops down infantry with the minigun is impressive. So accurate with precise maneuvering. I recently started trying to get better with the choppers and jets. Definitely not great yet, but watching this dude slay with them is my motivation to keep improving

[@joelmamell5458]

Love your videos man!! I’ve been flying in and out of that same building and it’s crazy to see how many people can’t/won’t follow you in there

[@pel..-]

Biggest issue is not knowing when a missile is incoming, sometimes it'll cut straight to the fire warning but nothing happens, other times it fires and you dodge it, and ten seconds later it re signals and you get hit, or there just isn't a proper warning and it cuts off whilst it should be alerting you that there's a fire. It's so dumb, as well as getting one hit by a single launcher.

[@galvendorondo]

I just got done from a 60 killstreak in one of these on Orbital and I come on KZbin to see you absolutely thrash my record. Good stuff.

[@85devlin48]

Been away for a little while but got some nice tasty vids of yours to watch. Love watching you farm all this poultry. NEARLY 100K SILK. Been growing nicely there sir. WELL DONE Brother

[@killjules5274]

Mans really landed his helicopter inside a building to repair. That’s the biggest flex on the battlefield community

[@smacspl]

how your keybinds set up? im trying my hardest to fly like i did in bf4 but its hard. using m+k it doesnt

[@ritchy3875]

How do you know when you're getting those "fake" incoming missile alerts? Is it a bug or something i just dont understand. 8:22 for example

[@Vodwuar]

How do you keep your crosshairs dead on a target, mine always move around I wonder if it’s a settings issue

[@DesertDuc]

How are your controls set up? I find the normal rudder aiming to be kind of clunky, thinking of giving "mouse aim" a try and putting yaw control on A and D.

[@Zant1an]

How did you make zoom work for you? It doesn't work for me when I'm in 1st person view in heli

[@CarlosFandandgo]

Jeez, just watched the full vid, outstanding skills!!!! 😵👍🏻

[@rubmytumforrum6740]

I love how lucky he gets with so little AA resistance. You're a god dude

[@shor7614]

I never really watch people play games but you are the only one that I do watch and look forward to seeing in my subscription feed. You've helped develop my flying skills alot and also was wondering why you prefer miniguns over the 20mm cannons?

[@ijustmakeinflammatorycomme9839]

Probably much like myself, less downtime between longer bursts

[@BrilliantBenGaming]

I love the rocket pods but for the life of my hitting infantry with the mini-guns is difficult. It seems like firing the min-guns causes my pitch to change a bit from where I am firing. It's a blast to fly tho

[@alekseicalhoun856]

What are your thoughts on the Russian 30mm pilot cannon? I’ve been using them and aiming with them takes a while to get used to but they are much better than any of the rockets once you can hit shots with them. You called them busted in a previous video, what’s that in reference to? They seem to despair after a certain distance which is annoying , but it’s a absolutely deadly to have them and a decent gunner and just wipe infantry

[@TheKeirsunishi]

Anyone know if hes using the default controls? As in A and D for yaw and mouse for roll, or does he swap them?

[@matthewzigrang]

Do you use default flight controls? If not, what do you have them set as?

[@bluemyst42]

What are your keybinds for pilot? Your flight is so much more reactive than mine, it feels sluggish when I fly.

[@toddbender3463]

That constant missile incoming alert is often from those tracking grenades. They are super easy to fly away from. If you see this alert that doesn’t start with a green lock on alert, you don’t need flares just kept flying Example: 16:05

[@natowarsawpact9835]

14:44 “you run from me now huh?” I literally say this every time a heli rushes me and when I hit all my shots and they miss they just run

[@aeffectmedia]

made that tier 1 Nightbird skin look like a walk in the park....

[@elGonho]

Guys, anyone knows if you can change the roll sensitivity on rifle aim? I don´t know if it´s the FOV or what (mine is lower) but when I see silk´s flying I feel like I can´t roll as fast as him since I switched from default controls

[@dustin0133]

do you have a controls setup video i could watch? I'm doing very well on MKB currently but i think the controls could definitely be optimized from the default.

[@grizzlydynamics]

Imagine jumping into your squad buddies' nightbird as a passenger and he does this. Lol what was that even man.

[@Ayaku_ouille]

This is very good, I'm wondering tho, in some of your videos, and this one too I guess, you're freaking zooming with the Nightbird, but it doesn't seem like you're making quick movements to do so. How are you doing that? I thought you needed to have the front of the heli facing the ground to gain speed?

[@frosty4047]

Hey quick question do you use assisted flight or nah

[@slseanlittle4]

Silk flying gives me high blood pressure!

[@menswearhous]

do you always use the miniguns or do you ever use the 20mm cannons for the nightbird

[@trunglerfevr]

Are the 30mm cannons on the Nightbird any good or is it just miniguns are meta like in BF4?

[@MichaelDavis-mk4me]

By the way, jets can have missiles that do not send lock on warnings, that's how they can get cheeky hits in. And since it's the last unlock, you can expect the number of these missiles to increase as time goes on.

[@bootysauce_]

That simple switch from spotter to Driver is fantastic. Wish it was that easy on console

[@jukealuke7703]

Use controller mapping, pretty sure there’s a button you can forfeit

[@mosaicendk]

Hey man, whats the name of the earphones you are you using?

[@ghendo7418]

How do you decide when to pop flares? I’ve noticed sometimes when you get the long tone you ignore it and there’s no missile that shows up.

[@wm1573]

The peeping sound literally tells if there's actually a rocket coming. Sometimes it's a static peep meaning there's no danger

[@ScreamingTantrum]

You pop it when it's red and says "missile incoming" lol. Depending on distance, if you know where they're shooting from, you may want give it a second so missile doesn't go passed your flares. Also if you're swift enough, you can coast the ground and the missile might slam into a building or the ground before hitting you

[@FFFaHHHaDDD]

Plz I have serious question, why my kills in nightbird not count? I can’t unlock the skin and weapons because all my kills are 0 on nightbird why?

[@Yarden2y]

9:14 Silk or anyone, please explain how do you know not to flee or flare while getting all these missle coming alerts?? I mean I'm usually out as soon as missle lock appears especially if I don't have flares. And usually if I don't run away I get pawned by aa rockets :/ How did you know you're not really in danger?

[@Sil3ntCleaNer]

nice video! do u have any special keybinds or mousesens?

[@justmakethiswork]

Top notch skill, humble guy. Great content!

[@CaptainBones222]

So does going left and right with the heli make you go forward faster?

After i got my T1 i started using air to ground, trying to get better with the miniguns. Going good so far, you should give it a try if you havent already. Enjoy your vids btw :D

[@jts9565]

hes using the mini guns throughout the video

[@B4KER20]

How can you tell when a missile wont hit? Are you dodging on purpose? Cause I noticed sometimes you wont use the flares, and the missile wont hit.

[@WeaponsArtist]

Might I ask your specs? I seem to not be getting the frames I should be given my setup...

[@IHafizZz]

So i need to roll right and left like that to i crease flying speed?

I started playing BF2042 again bcs of you and now I have over 130 Hours on it I actually tried to play with Jet and Heli. Got to Gold with the Jet (But I was only playing on those KI Servers) I wasnt actually abble to play with the Heli, so I'll have to try that another time

[@wizzzer1337]

yesterday I found out that the Condor can just go at full speed and ram helicopters, survive and repair itself at the same time. it's stupid, but as long as it works, I'll abuse it.
