BF3 - Flight School

[Ishkanatorable]

Also takes more skill to use a chopper on xbox. XD

[Ishkanatorable]

Quite the contrary... Despite the fact engineers will be assholes, if you are fighting another helicopter, you ALWAYS want to be higher. It's the uphill advantage. However, when you do have the choppers in check, then yes; always stay low.

[FoodOnCrack]

if you want to learn flying in bf3, there is nothing like that in campaign, bit of a shame :/

[GamingDimence]

One of the biggest keys to succes with choppers:

Pilot: Guided rockets/ECM jammer/heat seekers

Gunner: Stealth/IR FLARES/Guided or tv missile. The ecm will disable lock long enough for flares to reset, which will make it impossible for heat seekers to take you down. You can bring a whole team of stingers, if you have flares and jammer you wont fail. only way to die is soflam and bullets. i did this with my friend (hes the gunner) and he got 70 kills, 12k score. i got around 20 kills, 8k score

is it just for pc that u get jets and vipers on noshar canal because i play xbox and all they have is little birds

[OshiSeven]

@tjw2598 I think so, yeah. PC has Conquest Large, which is different. There are also jets.

[mrnugets12]

@tjw2598 Pc conquest is called conquest 64, so there are more vehicles on the maps than the consoles.

[JJoneEIGHTY]

do you use mouse flight or keyboard controls?

[vexxdk]

Just use Middle mouse to switch weapons, much easiere

[fuzzyrhino5]

I use my mouse wheel to switch between weapons for anything. its way better than hitting 1,2,3,4,5... and the "feet" on the bottom of the heli are called skids.

@Xalbrah

[elDarks61]

very good tips, nice job :D!

[xDavidRxxx]

see when using a helicopter such as the viper, when firing the missiles which aimer is it to use?

[aj981981]

How did you get into a game with just you and one other person?

[OshiSeven]

@aj981981 Some servers only require 2 people to start on PC.

[FreezyFuzza]

Are you using a joystick or just the keyboard and mouse?

[KillJONDead]

Good flying, Subbed.

[FreezyFuzza]

Anyone clicked on the FUS RO DAH!

by FnPwnage video?

[Menddles]

Do you own a GAME card by any chance?

[OshiSeven]

@Menddles Excuse me for one moment...

[L33tSaucer]

Thanks for all the tips! Your voice is hilarious :D

[IBelongToBadCompany]

So, from what I saw, The Viper needs to land parallel to the ground so the tail doesn't hit the ground, and no damage is taken. The Havoc however, has a third wheel on the tail (so the tail itself doesn't hit the ground) Does this third wheel count as part of the havoc's body? (will it take damage if the third wheel hits the ground while landing)

[OshiSeven]

@IBelongToBadCompany I don't think so, this might explain why the Havoc looks less stable when doing a hard landing, but seems to have a higher success rate and you have more freedom in the pitch.

[Dimatizer]

i didnt think i had anything left to learn about the helis but the f wep switching and the durability of the skids should help, thanks!

[Phiel34]

what do you use for flying? joystick mouse or keyboard?

[OshiSeven]

@Phiel34 Mouse and keyboard, default controls.

[Xalbrah]

Subscribed.

[OshiSeven]

@Xalbrah Thanks man :)

[fallowsword]

Im not the best pilot but im also above average YOU ARE ABLE to capture flags, its extremely difficult but can be done easyiest start and end game.

[OshiSeven]

@fallowsword Not saying you can't, I've done it before (in this video, as you can see, I capped all those flags in the chopper), but being that vulnerable in an attack helicopter is not ideal... at all... ever. You're low enough for engineers to fire their RPG and SMAW's at you, low enough for tanks to get a clear shot, possibly enough for someone to snipe you out of the pilot seat. Your job is to back your infantry and armour up by making their jobs 10x easier, not to cap flags.

[Sausty]

You're accent leaves me very confused! ;)

Nice video, thanks.

[domoarigato3000]

@Sausty I know! It's like he's switching from English to American. ... Christian Bale?



[fallowsword]

Teach people how to land horizontal or in at an angle,

[OshiSeven]

@fallowsword Not sure what you mean, did I not cover that in this video?

[fallowsword]

Gunner can go third person and see even more btw,

[OshiSeven]

@fallowsword Yeah, should have mentioned this. It isn't so much 'third person' as it is a secondary first person view, where the actual character in the second seat takes his eyes away from the gunner camera.

[Nnexxxx]

Just want to point out that the bar doesn't show the strain on the helicopter blades but just shows your altitude above any object you're over. That's why it was fluctuating like crazy when you were flying over the hangar.

[OshiSeven]

@Nnexxxx Ah, I see. Most of the stuff I ignore anyway, so I only had a vague idea of what it does. Like I said, the most important things are the pitch and gunner indicators, the rest isn't too useful when you're flying around.

[gando346]

"Not blowing up is the key to not blowing up!"

Genius.

[lochdhu]

MBT+Guided Shell+CITV = Air Dominance

[OshiSeven]

@lochdhu I've only ever been hit by this twice. Hitting the ECM and then locating a stationary armoured vehicle in an area with lots of open space isn't too tough.

[lochdhu]

@OshiSeven on this same map me and my squad (one repairing, and one Lasing targets) took out 18 Helis last night with the CITV. granted we lost the round by 9 tickets, but we still owned the Air.

[japesss]

@lochdhu Any decent pilot will simply rip you a new one from outside your lock range, or hit and run through cover.

[lochdhu]

@japesss they tried, but failed.

[PMillais123]

great video. thank you! didn't know you could use F to switch weapons - don't worry, I click E too many times when reaching for 1 and 2. again thanks!

[OshiSeven]

@PMillais123 Well, at least I'm no the only one :P I've face palmed way too many times after I've done that.

[chazerrrr]

YOU NEED MORE SUBSCRIBERS. Well, you deserve them haha.

[OshiSeven]

@chazerrrr Thanks bro :D Gained quite a lot today, really shocked.

[deadlyzebra123]

@OshiSeven Thank Reddit for that.

[OshiSeven]

@deadlyzebra123 I know, right? <3 Reddit.

[MacMadJason]

On the HUD I thought the box on the right was your hight from the ground / buildings ect...

[b3l14l]

Not blowing up is the key.... to not blowing up.

[TsubasaSaito]

Even as a pretty nice Pilot, the Information about the HUD are nice to know, thanks :) Gonna try it with my gunner-friends :D

[OshiSeven]

@TsubasaSaito There are a ton of awesome pilots, but I hoped I would have some information helpful to everyone.

[OriginalNinjaWaffle]

Dear god I want to play with you so fucking much, I have never found a pilot/gunner who uses degrees. Or accommodates the gunner.

[OshiSeven]

@OriginalNinjaWaffle Yeah, Attack Helicopters are different than all other vehicles, especially in the sense that the most lethal person in the chopper is the passenger, not the pilot. Too many people assume the pilot is the star of the show, which isn't the case.

[OriginalNinjaWaffle]

@OshiSeven Definitely I tend to get around 80 kills with a good pilot while they get around 20.

[Hemuli84]

Nice way to start a video.

3.30 Holy crap, I've never noticed that degree indicator.

Remember that when doing an emergency landing don't jump out too early and get run over by your own chopper:)

[realeggy]

i would love to have an pilot like you dude! keep up the good work! see you on the battlefield!
