[@LucidUnrest]

something you should mention if you get a warning of an incoming missile, but didnt get a lockon warning, its a sundance grenade. 99/100 times you can outrun these do you shouldnt deploy your flares also I think the missile warning sound is slightly different for the grenade compared to real missiles but I could be wrong there.

[@MDE_OFFICAL]

Sundance is annoying

[@TheSanityX]

Also worth mentioning that if sundance grenade overlaps with an actual missile, you can hear it most of the time from the warning sound resetting and (or) becoming inconsistent. There are a lot of sundances that does the grenade/stinger combo in order to mindtrick you into not deploying flares. This is a method that you could use to outsmart them. For the times this does not work as intended, make sure to listen to stinger blasts. Stingers makes a lot of sound when their rockets go off, if you hear a rocket going off, flare up immidiately.

[@ckr3167]

Everyone, THIS IS WRONG. Radar missiles also do not have a lock-on warning, please disregard this post as it can get you killed quickly.

[@QuasiMonkey]

The Solo\Co-op mode is a great place to practise with the heli & jets. Bots offer numerous easy targets to practise aiming and you don't have to worry about trying to get a vehicle. Thankful that Dice included it in this version of BF. Me & my friend usually do a round or two of Co-op with bots set to advanced level to warm up & have fun getting tons of kills before venturing into the online servers.

[@davidlangston9595]

Whenever I play against AI they immediately take all the vehicles, then fly around not doing sh** (while the enemy AI are wrecking my team). Once they take damage they immediately bail, which often gifts the vehicle to the enemies. I also wish you could actually give commands to AI to keep them out of your vehicle because they're only good as gunners and the second they're controlling a ground vehicle they start going forward and back while slowly turning and immediately popping smoke the second anything shoots close to the vehicle 🤦‍♂️. I wish friendly AI could rocket snipe other vehicles from across the map like the enemy do with regularity

[@triplocore]

The most annoying thing about coop is the fact that you cant configure a insta respawn. Bots will just snipe you with RPGs from time to time and you'll have to look at the screen for 2 minutes

[@QuasiMonkey]

@@triplocore Yeah it's definitely not perfect but I'm just glad it's an option. Me and my buddy usually play two rounds with bots to warm up before jumping in with people. It would be nice if you could customize it more & tell them to not take vehicles as you gotta spawn in the tank or vehicle you want right at the start of a map to get them. (they pick that worthless electric rail gun tank 90% of the time) They must be using some kind of machine learning for the bots as I've noticed their behavior has changed a bunch since release. the RPG/rocket spam is very real now, and sometimes if you come across a pack of enemy bots they will all laser focus on you at once lol Also the vehicle count down timer is completely worthless & broken.

[@triplocore]

@@QuasiMonkey I used to believe that the countdown is broken too, but it's in fact bad explained. The countdown that you see is your personal countdown to pick another vehicle. The actual vehicle respawn time is hiden and we cant see it, but I believe it takes 2:30 minutes to respawn.

[@QuasiMonkey]

@@triplocore Hmm interesting. I'll have to pay attention to it next time and see if that's how it is. So far I've only noticed the issue with it not being accurate for tanks & helicopters while transport vehicles were shown as available so might be a category or type of vehicle restriction so someone can't hog a tank or helicopter all round.

I could be wrong here because I haven't actually played 2042 yet, but I remember in bf4 I was constantly changing that setting because I'd want it inverted for helis, but I would want it to be normal for jets. I did this to change the way that mouse control worked with jets/helis but if I remember right it also inverted the button binds as well.

[@taxevasion3046]

Hey man don’t know if you’ll see this but I think I found out how to not have to deal with minimum convergence on the little bird. You have to use the third person aim and I know that sounds bad but it aligns almost perfectly with the left minigun stream allowing for bf4 like accuracy

you can use mouse buttons it just has to be under the Mouse section instead of keyboard section. I guess its so you can have A keyboard binding and a mouse binding? not sure why it could all just be together

9:59, That's how I fly. Pilots who roll with their mouse are strange😂. 10:35 I hate how the switch seat key doesn't cycle through all the seats, and how there is no switch-to-primary-seat keybind. Function keys are hard to reach on full-sized keyboards, but what's even worse is that I have a 60% keyboard so every time I wanna switch to the heli primary seat, I have to hold Fn and then press 1/F1. (you need two hands to do this. WTF DICE.)

[@fooseed]

Finally learned how to fly about a week ago and I don’t want to toot my own horn but I’m pretty good at flying and getting through tight spaces. Manifest is definitely my top map for flashy flying but hourglass is my favourite for killing. But the only issue I find is the amount of AA on the enemy team. I swear, every time my team is getting slaughtered by air power they just can’t seem to figure out there is AA in the game. Yet the moment I fly I’m locked on before I even see enemies. Idk if AA needs to be nerfed or if flares need to be buffed but it is ridiculous how much AA there is. Every single player and their mother is rocking AA.

[@Snarfello]

I have a recommendation for binding your side mouse buttons. What I do is use my mouse software to bind keyboard keys to my side mouse buttons. I personally use F6 and F7 cause they rarely conflict with other bindings but it's personal preference. This completely avoids the issues that some games have with binding side mouse buttons. Hope this helps!

[@Fluffyballz]

Probably all quiality game mouses have a program like ghub or ect and most add keyboard binding to mouse. So great tip

[@exodus3968]

If you can land the 20m on other helis it actually hits really hard just takes a lot more skill to do consistently due to low fire rates

[@painy6588]

My own tip: When using rifle aim set the pilot sensitivity to something below 100%. Holding a/d will still roll at the same, maximum speed. But you gain the ability to do finer adjustments to your roll when just tapping a/d. [EDIT] I was wrong: While vehicle aim affects your 360/cm distance needed for turns as a pilot, pilot sensitivity does not only affect keyboard inputs but also how much the helicopter reacts to slower mouse movements. I will be using 100% pilot sensitivity as a result. Using 100% pilot sensitivity feels a lot more like mouse movements being used directly for aim making it more reactive and easier. Really happy I watched this vid now, thanks Silk and Reaps!

[@x8reaps]

I went 100 mainly because my mouse responses felt more instant and less delayed, the lower you go the finer keyboard adjustments but the less instant mouse response, also found I turned slower but each to their own, ill do more testing.

[@painy6588]

@@x8reaps Man I am glad i made this comment then. When I tested things on the first day I was under the impression: Vehicle sensitivity governs all mouse inputs related to flying (and all vehicles in general) and pilot sensitivity governs all keyboard inputs related to flying vehicles. I will also do more testing.

I don't think the mini needs a nerf. The hoover raft for sure but if you know what you're doing it's super easy to take down minis even against an experienced pilot if just two people both try to take a heli down its easy with just the FXM. But an angel and the hacker dude together? Unlimited rockets plus the hack... The helis a glass cannon. I hope they don't nerf the guns so much they become unusable. I use the 20 because it works so good against infantry but I'll try the mini guns. The hovercraft 100% needs a nerf though. And that vehicle on treads that everyone is using now. It's even stronger than the hovercraft ffs. All vehicles should be glass cannons in my opinion. Just like real life. A tank is super powerful but the right TOW can mess it up royally. Also doesn't seem that it matters where you hit a tank or vehicle which is a shame

My advice with helis is to play like a chicken shit if you have to. If they have AA missiles on the ground you can come in from up high, get off a volley of rockets, then get as far away ASAP and hold your flair until they launch a projectile. Wait for flairs and come back for your missile volley run. Feel free to fly up high and switch to the gunner seat and rain death on people even from 600m away.

Why is there no binding to switch to the main seat... I have a 60% keyboard and it's really annoying to press 3 buttons just for F1 ...

[@elifancier]

Awesome Silk can you do a video of battlefield 2042 chopper settings with the regular ps4 controller settings not mouse settings

[@Recor01]

I hear you reccomending that people dont copy streames sensitivitys and I get that. But how did you approach experimenting and tweaking your sensitvitys? There seems to be sooo many variables in the menu it must take a very long time to work it out

[@matttrivv]

Hey man Great video! can you go through all your settings ? i really like the your hud layout etc ! would much be appreciated i also dmed on twitter asking just incase you wanna show me there

[@SilkOCE]

Ah the HUD settings. I'll show it in my upcoming jet guide

[@DonCron]

1440p and 240hz. You will be able to hit the 200+ fps when the RTX 6090 will be released^^ Thanks for the guide ;)

[@hansonyu8440]

I actually had my yaw on mouse, and roll on a and d, because I used to play War Thunder and I just can’t get myself to get used to roll using mouse😢

[@edh9746]

Rocket pods need a nerf especially the recharge rate . Flares should come in 3 instead of 2 , would balance things. If some one in a night bird chases u with mini gun and can fly you are basically fucked .

[@Fekron]

For your Information about binding on Mouse. delete the cache located in documents -> BF2042. after that it worked for me

[@combatwings]

Fr33thy recommended this video because I want to learn how to actually use the heli's. I just want to not crash or get blown out of the sky for longer than 30 seconds.

[@TheDomain16]

There's many games that won't let you bind mouse buttons...just set mouse key binds using your mouse software as 0,9,8, etc and now the game sets these keys as your binds.

[@polarbizzle86]

anytime I play with the mouse and keyboard the helicopter or aircraft pulls up continually. if I use a controller no issue, tried different mouses same thing. Does anyone else have this issue and solve it?

[@marshallSGM]

First-time commenter, long-time admirer... just tried to switch my yaw to my mouse but it won't bind for some reason any help on this would be great...

[@crusifixint6764]

I know I'm late on this video but I just wanted to say thanks. I thought flying on PC was pretty much impossible the first few times I tried it but watching these helped me pick it up and learn. Actually managed to go from crashing off spawn to a 58 kill game, not the greatest but I was really pleased. I've watched this video a bunch to learn movement. You rock, thanks.

[@oreouk6619]

I have same prob. can you help me

[@crusifixint6764]

@@oreouk6619 Best thing I can say is test it out in the solo / pve mode for a while. Took me a few crashes to get the hang of it, but it feels more fluid after you put some time in it.

[@oreouk6619]

Bro I am pc player with 800dpi. I cant do the right mouse settings. And I screwed with it

[@oreouk6619]

If I increase dpi, I can control heli easy but cant aim, If I go with low dpi I can aim but cant control heli itself.

[@crusifixint6764]

@@oreouk6619 I use 1k dpi, but it is just what you are used to. It helped to think of it like a controller so my brain could use the mouse and keyboard along with a/d movement to keep the crosshair on people. I'm like 5-6 hours into practicing and it's just now getting easier to aim at folks without screwing up.

[@Boat.3]

I got used to the standard keyboard settings of GTA V for flying and find it very hard to adapt to mouse flying. And for bf these controls don't work well

[@duncanidaho5834]

Did not watch the vid because you plugged a "gaming supplement", whatever that means. Get a sponsor that isn't poison.

how do you move so smoothly???? you seem to be able to fly straight horizontally but when i fly it always goes up even if im looking almost directly downwards

[@michaelsunsetavelivin5199]

Nah, I've been perfectly destroyed on some suspect shiit by the 20mm cannons on an enemy nightbird way more times than with the minigun

[@jasperlilienfeld505]

Going to try and apply this to my settings and gameplay. Only issues I've seen is that stick controls are wonky as at the moment. There's a weird setting that lets you choose how much vertical and horizontal inputs cancel each other out on joysticks. But it's totally broken so when you have it on it makes it nearly impossible to move your vehicle. But if you set your deadzones to low it causes phantom movements. So you have to have the X,Y on a little bit. Basically, if you have any amount of joystick drift you are totally screwed vehicle wise.

[@Fluffyballz]

Oof.

[@OldManGaming69]

The best hele flying was in Desert Combat mod for BF1942. Epic! Can't fly these for shit! :)

[@ty54101]

You really think the 20mm is not as good as the mini guns? I just got them and I feel like they are a lot better for infantry, vehicles and dog fights.

[@Kmay4hunnid]

I love your content, one thing that doesn’t make sense to me is that you told people that you don’t recommend them to buy this game but yet you still make videos about the game. Then criticized the game after you told dice not to listen to the community.

[@jodymarty3179]

Has anyone else encountered a glitch were your heater seekers won't hit the enemy chopper even long after their flares are gone? I is this just something I'm doing wrong.

[@juicy772]

i watch your videos thinking i can jump into battlefield and kill everyone when in reality i get like 10 kills man i guess your just the best

[@stu1987eng]

You get 10!? How? I get 2 lmao

[@hellinik70]

definitely need to play around with my settings.. playing on controller seems like crawling speed compared to this vid..

[@DarrenBoxhall]

Fucking arcade physics. Geez they fucked this game up. Battlefield 4 heli physics are so much better

[@bigsteve6729]

BF4 was the best game because of the little bird chopper. The control in these choppers absolutely sucks man

[@calebniner]

How do you even get a scout heli? I never see them on spawn like in bf4. And I don't see an objective that has one to spawn in either
