this is how BF3 heli control should be

[GluchicusMaximus]

I like the heli controls from bfbc2. I was an amazing heli pilot in that game and now with the new control scheme I cant hover and move like I used to.

[burre01]

@GluchicusMaximus hehe i was RAGED out when i tried the helis in bfbc2, they were so useless and uncontrolleble, you could not even make loops and barrelrolls with it, also the control scheme was messed up and it reacted too quick

the real heli controls are in BF1942: Desert Combat (original), and BF2

[georgecarlinisfunny]

@burre01 wow I thought the helicopters were fast and easy to fly. check out some of my videos to see how easily I dominate with the attack helicopters

[burre01]

@GluchicusMaximus look at what you could do with heli's in BF2:

you can check this out aswell watch?v=bfpsctDP08Q jet/helis stunts

[3x8duzz]

Ok.. THAT WAS EPIC.

[georgecarlinisfunny]

what's the difference in BF3 heli controls and BF2? I know that BFBC2 had automatic stabilization/leveling for the helicopters. DICE may have dumb down the controls to attract the new CoD players.

[burre01]

@georgecarlinisfunny well, bf2 controls was smoother and not as "irratating" also no stabililzation and didnt hit brick wall when trying to make a loop or barrel-roll

[georgecarlinisfunny]

@burre01 what's so useful about barrel roll/loop? evasive maneuvers?

[burre01]

@georgecarlinisfunny /watch?v=zjfPm409Xn0 <- check this out and you will know what im talking about, also ITS so annoying to hit the BRICK WALL OF DOOM when angle too steep, then you crash in bf3 LOL

[georgecarlinisfunny]

@burre01 I think DICE intentionally made the heli stall (when the heli rolls a lot to one side) to prevent circle strafing in BFBC2

[Cr0wtatoo]

@georgecarlinisfunny that was the only maneuver that was quite usefull in dodging TV missiles from skilled players.

[georgecarlinisfunny]

@Cr0wtatoo very few players who can skillfully pilot the TV missile (on xbox at least). I've never been suddenly taken out with 100% vehicle health when I'm in a helicopter

[bledikslt]

What game mode is this??? I want to try that. Is that online? Thanks.

[burre01]

@bledikslt its a mod for bf2 :p its a remake of an old desert combat map

[PRETENDERishe]

Desert combat was most good flying physics after bf1942 original. BF2 and BF3 sucks. Its infantry game :(

[shilipsy]

I bet you were well disaponted?

[burre01]

@shilipsy yep :P aint tuching the helis till they implement barrel-roll / flip and speed em up

[shilipsy]

@shilipsy Do you play ARMA at all? if so how are you at flying in that?

[burre01]

@shilipsy choppers are really nice to fly in arma, i also like to fly in Project Reality BF2, really something different :)

[Pottunator]

Yes...well...too bad...

[gracenownby]

Lol very flexible heli I had that expansion but dont remember it

[pjano11]

holy shit I remember doing this in the original BF1942 desert combat extended mod ^_^

[caliassalif3451]

i have the same skills in flying blackhawks in bfbc2 but the people i play with all suck at flying

[MeisterRoxas]

No thanks, I don't want to fly an RC copter again.

[PPPatrickWWW]

@MeisterRoxas Yeaahhh... This thing is pretty much as responsive as an RC, I don't see real helicopters flying around like this.

[mertonixx]

this is suicide

[PandeXe]

So unrealisitic.. omg haha...

[TheStigma]

Nice control. your jet video was kind of shit with it being 90% ego-booster comments and 10% actual flying, but this one shows that you actually know what you are doing.

I remember doing similar sorts of practice runs on empty servers for hours on end. Eventually the movement becomes second nature - and that translates back into the real game very well ;)

Lets hope flying takes some skill in BF3 too. I'm most worried about the helis. jets will probably be fine I'm guessing.

[burre01]

@TheStigma my jet vid is just a teaser of whats to come, i dont play BF2 anymore really ^^ real footage will come @ BF3

[foodieeee]

For sure!!! Bring back the stingers and straighter shooting tanks and that AH6 is dead meat, like it was in DC!! +wronghole

[burre01]

@foodieeee ye the stingers <3 well the stingers was good becouse of the splashdamage+ high speed straight shooting, if they implement them in BF3 i hope they are short range lock-on versions ^^

[foodieeee]

@burre01 Lock on is for women. Leading the target is for men. Everything after DC has been for women.

[xXJumpEr918Xx]

that would be a great method but can you imagine trying to shoot that chopper down?

[burre01]

@xXJumpEr918Xx well the projectiles in BFBC2 are far too slow from reality, the tank rounds should not drop much in 1000 meeters, maybe it should drop a few centimeters but not much, and it should reach 1000 meeters within 1sec, same with anti tank weapons, (and anti-tank weapons SHOULD be single use, since they cant be reused in reality!!!!!!!!!!!!! they should go fast as hell straight forward with barely any drop!

[xXJumpEr918Xx]

@burre01 yeah but as much as this is a more realistic game when compared to COD it still isn't. They always seem to get some guns wrong and in BFBC2 the bullet drop/time was way overdone as you mentioned. What I meant was that in the BF series if the choppers flew like that, well we all know how hard it is to tracer dart a chopper even if its relatively slow so like that... yeah.

[burre01]

@xXJumpEr918Xx well, the littlebird is used in hot situations becouse it rarely gets shot down due to its superior agility and its so small, it should be really hard

[TheAntonkr]

Be my pilot for ArmA 3 when it's released? Lol

[BigMobe]

Man that thing looks squirrely as hell.
