@Samuel Navas because its beta, and the beta is literally there for people like you. Give them feedback and maybe they'll change it in the finished game. Also, its not BF4.

Yeah, I’m honestly not a fan of the new helicopter first person UI. It feels like a downgrade of how detailed and interactive the older UI for Helicopters used to be. In BF3/BF4, I really enjoyed the “I” shaped reticle that was used to aim rockets for the attack helicopter. The UI is definitely a lot less interactive in 2042.

@@captainvaughn5692 idk dude they should just know half of this shit. We can’t hold their fucking hands, shit they’re the ones who made the old ones.

@@JohnDoe69986 Wrong. 90% of the old BF3/BF4 team is gone (modders who made Desert Combat/Conflict and knew their shit). I play since 1942, played the mods (probably the best heli control ever) and got 3500h in BF3, mainly being a heli pilot. BF 2042 looks way too arcady to me. Just heard it doesn't even keep its yaw, it's leveling out itself, typically an arcade thing (hope I'm wrong).

Same thing with the tanks :(

We're proud of you Jeanette

mah heart, mah soul

Pun intended

bf 2042 is the first battlefield i've ever played but this vid def helped lol

It is

And the flight controls are different, if not then the Helis feel different

It’s my first time (call of duty player here) I’ve not played any battlefields and die every time I get in an aircraft on battlefield lol

The flying mechanics are also significantly different from battlefield 4. Definitely not easy like bf4 imo.

Nah the controls in 2042 is way better because of how simple it is, before in BF4 I never liked helicopters because of how hard it was to fly even after 2 weeks i was shit in the sky, but now in 2042 the controls seem so much easier to understand and now i can fly really well just in 1 day.

You can disable that

@@TheGuyThatEnjoysArguments I think the point is that the skill gap was bigger and thus more rewarding. It actually took more skill to be good in the air, whereas in this bf 2042 beta, basically anyone can be good after only flying for 15 minutes

Man I can’t fly for shit, like 7 diff buttons lol

@@IanLesiuk yeah but they wanted to change that for battlefield 2042 I believe, as the games have never been competitive and so made little sense to make a vehicle which only a small number of people could use well, especially since when they're used right they can be really powerful which would just add to the frustration of anyone that just played the game casually

The flying in this game is shit. its such a joke the way the chopper and planes move. This coming from some one who flew all day long in every other BF game. the controls are so messed up. the physics are like ridiculous. I hope its just beta issues. :(

@@FalcoINC "just beta issues" naa that's baked physics, that's how the game will play.

@@visiblehiggs130 Sorry to hear if it is. I probably wont buy the game if thats the way it stays. Too bad. I was ready for a new BF

@@FalcoINC for me even if it's shit there is no game like it that can replace the hole in my heart. But dice will tune the vehicles in some shape or form.

I don't get why are people keeping to hate something that's not even a flaw. I don't care what's problematic from the game. But i know what's with the community: they can never accept changes. Every changes no matter minor or major is a big problem to their eyes. And that's STUPID

THIS. Was literally just talking about this tonight, Id be more than happy to change button layouts and play around…. If I knew what they were

At the moment it doesn't even matter, after testing I've discovered all 3 stick settings are identical... Must be bugged because Collective, Roll, Pitch, and yaw are exactly the same.. And the default is messed up I literally cannot fly atm even though I racked up 3000 kills on BF3

@@Welsh_Veteran_420_Z Agree, utter garbage on heli controls

No you’re right I have hundreds of hours on bf4 basically just flying hellos and this game feels like a completely babied down version of that like an extremely assisted version

@@marioroman7188 i feel like they should have 2 modes 1 for gods at flying which you can do super fancy stuff with and a basic one like this

@@marioroman7188 it feels a lot more cod like man I hate to say it but if war zone had a AH-64 this would be how it performs

@@marioroman7188 bro bf4 helicopter mechanics were literally perfect.

@@SuperWubDub that’s actually what I was going to say lol I played warzone like twice I used a helli and it felt like this.

THIS 100 TIMES OVER

Bruh. Select vehicle buttons as "alternate"

@@MKMR sticks are still totally screwed

Throttle with the triggers is a must. In BF4 I could circle the tip of a capture flag endlessly with the front of the heli almost touching the top of the flag pole. Pissed it’s not in the beta!

I need the triggers to be ascend and descend. These controls are dogshit and it pisses me off that the geniuses at DICE change them every time!

I agree, they need to bring back the classic controls.

There's 3 settings under heli sticks but as far as I can tell they change nothing. I've spent hundreds of hours in BF3 and BF4 in choppers but 2042 I can't even fly in a straight line

@@Welsh_Veteran_420_Z I think it’s bugged. There’s no difference between legacy and default from what I can tell right now

@@Welsh_Veteran_420_Z 3500h in BF3 here :) Desert Combat had the best (but hardest) heli controls, BF2 were good, BF3 are awesome, BF4 is "okay" ...now the old team and DC modders are mainly gone at DICE ...and all they care for is money, eh, I mean accessibility, so every 10y can have his 30 minutes of "fun" in the heli blowing shit up - yay. I'm not optimistic. Mastering the heli in BF3 is art. When you "feel" when the missile is gonna hit you and if it's an AA or Igla lock ...the "connection" between pilot and gunner after many hours flying together - without voice chat - and you know exactly of each other what they're thinking, looking at, doing in a second etc. - I very very much doubt we'll ever get that again in a BF.

mechanics is shit for helis and jets

I want bf4 controls back.

hopefully its just a beta thing it feels way to arcadey at present

@@marlinanenomeposeidonthdar4677 feels almost like the flying in games like far cry

Hm I find flying way better in BF2042 than BF4

The guy that likes arguments Judging by your name I think you aren’t actually serious about that.

Lol, ive crashed atleast over 20 times learning to fly in 2042

The AI will also Teabag you

Probably me lol I always tea bag enemy’s lol 😂

Takes some getting used to - it's like a mix of BF4 and GTAV flying? It works, loving it

Its horrible, I used the triggers to go up/down and I can barely fly in this one. it feels like they thought, lets make flying really counterintuitive and clunky because it was fine before.

@@shaneo6383 ya it was the best in bf4

Not the same, you can't invert the lift, which completely f's up the flying for veterans. You also can't assign the triggers to lift and drop.

@@id3admani981 Alternate makes the triggers do this instead of the stick.

Really? In the beta they completely neglected the settings tab. You cannot tell what does what unless you already know what they do and it doesn't even seem like every setting Is there.

@@truth.honesty The whole thing was a mess. I especially loved the "custom" option, with no ability to set "custom". Also it turned out that the alternate chopper button controls were the ones under "fixed wing"... go figure.

did you solved your problem cause i have the same one

Yes. Right until the bot one shot you with recoiless m5 like an aimbot. 🤣 I got so frustrated with this. Even on the easiest difficulty, AI are very OP in vehicles especially in the Wild Cat. They seems never miss.

I thought that at first but I then increased my circular strafe distance from the target which helps to not overshoot, and the closer you you want to get to that target you use more roll angle for that tighter turn & circle. Granted there are times when you're having to pitch around adjusting that circular strafe (and thus you're not centred on your target whilst that's happening) so use that time to reload rockets whilst always keeping a few in reserve when you really have no choice but to attack (couple more hits for the kill). The most common times it goes awry is when you're fixated on the target instead of concentrating on continuing your perfect circular strafe which ultimately makes you have to compensate losing precious reticule acquisition.

because vehicles need to be able to be destroyed by ground troops. Do you not understand the very delicate balance between vehicles and ground warfare in a video game to make it fun for everyone?

@@MadRabbit0wnzu ground troops with lock on rocket launchers are fine. They had them in battlefield 4 and could take out choppers just like the AA tank. All I’m saying is in Battlefield 4 it would show you which direction you were being locked on from, to give the PILOT a chance to evade. With no indicator telling the direction there is no balance. If you are in the air you are getting locked onto by troops, other choppers, AA tanks, and jets. Where is your balance there? At least let the pilot know the missile lock on is coming from behind so we can either try to put some distance between us and them, or fly around a building to dodge. If “you” put any time into flying a helicopter you would realize it’s something important that should of been carried over from the previous game. Apparently more people agree with me than you, not saying that in a “haha” way but in a “this matters” way. Especially since 2042 only has the one map available right now, there is nothing you can do if you are being locked onto except flares which have a cooldown. If anything the choppers need a buff on damage. If I’m in the Apache helicopter it takes over 20 missiles to destroy a tank. That means I have to hit it with every missile, then turn around and do it again, without the entire enemy team who have the easy capability of shooting me down noticing me. It also takes this many missiles to destroy the anti-air tank. Which is impossible unless you have a gunner, because it can lock onto you over and over and shoot bullets at you while you have to hit it with over 20 missiles. The attack chopper should be able to destroy all vehicles if you have the element of surprise, but instead it’s a slaughter if you are spotted by the AA tank.

@@IrishMonkeyIrishmonkey an experienced pilot will always be able to guess the direction and I dont see a problem here

The fact that there is no class based system and add the fact of 64 other enemies compared to the older 32 system. Most infantry is running around with an AA, then the AA tank, and then the jet, and don't forget about the other attack choppers. Then your cool down timer for the flares when you have 10 people locking on 1 after the other..... this seems to happen in about 75% of the matches I have been in. Maybe with the full release more people will have other gadgets besides mostly AA missiles.

@@madagascar9407 lmao what kind of bs is that :D how should you be able to tell are you a wizard?

This ^

For me, it’s so easy that it’s hard. The gravity is like your on the moon and it completely breaks my brain.

Try to fly in bf4

I think it's harder for people to fly in BF2042 when they came from other games with much better flight models. Being entirely unable to proper use my flightstick is definitely not helping me any.

@@iilhares Yeah they’ll probably add that feature but flying just felt boring. BFV & BF4 aren’t flight sims by any means, but I at least felt that some physics were involved and that made it fun. Flying helicopters in 2042 was like flying hot air balloons and planes were rendered unusable for me due to paired controls with the heli and lack of flight stick support.

xD, I played it and it's just like a little feather on the sky, bruh, play arma 3, or any simulator of war and you'll see what's really a helicopter. Btw I hate the fact this game doesn't have a joystick support, there's no fun in flying without a joystick.

I had key binding issues as well but I turned off my logitech mouse settings that automatically detect games. Seems to cause a lot of binding issues.

Yes, I was very pleased that they added those iconic heli’s as well, but the flight physics in this build are completely fucked in my opinion.

@@lejenddairy I loved the flight physics in 3 and 4. They are the epitome of realistic to me

@@supernova8604 it's about as realistic as helicopters can get in video games without making them frustrating

@@baconatoromg6062 Yeah. If you understood how helicopters fly in real life, (Not saying you know nothing about helicopters) you'd see how realistic they are in both BF3 and 4. Its awesome

Definitely, they also changed the fire rate for the little bird machine guns. Something's fucky with the aiming being locked to accelerating and decelerating too. Wish they kept the bf4 controls.

Ever since hardline the helicopters have felt sluggish

@@AnonymusHippopotamus yeah they are terrible. I was so used to the BF4 miniguns that were instantanious. These new ones takes like allmost a second to wind up. That truly fuck with the aim as I previously allready would have killed them in that time.

@@gamofin3447 it's a bit hard to put into words what's so weird about them, but anyone who spent significant time flying in bf4 will notice it right away. Hopefully enough people say something to the devs so they can adjust that before full launch.

@@AnonymusHippopotamus Agreed. And honestly the choppers look like shit. So fat and clumsy. Nothing like BF4s sleak beautys.

nope will not help. the helicopter in bf4 was a sniper. the one in bf2042 is a shotgun with only one bullet per buckshot

@@xloltimex38 not the little bird

Stop. Complaining.

the bf4 helis were just to hard to fly for the casuals... it is sad man

You can change heli stick setting in game... Its just bugged atm
