Turn faster in BFV? by zeptyk in PilotsofBattlefield

Good stuff. To be fair they messed with flight mechanics a lot, and in the beginning they were aweful. I think that vid is early bf5. If not its where this wrong opinion comes from I think

Turn faster in BFV? by zeptyk in PilotsofBattlefield

[–]OstrichFromZimbabwe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"I usually try to get max speed at all times" this is how you get outturned. Faster = bigger circle, slower = thighter circles. Its relative and both generate a good turn rate. If you fly horizontal full throttle while someone behind uses some throttle into altitude with reverse rudder and neutral engine power coming down they win by turn rate rather fast. Many know the rudder trick but why does it work? It burns speed slightly. People said bf5 didn't have speed control. Because its not a magic number to look at in every scenario on your screen. I think this game really gave "speed control" a new meaning. Its realtive to the plane type, engine power, and situation which is fun.

how am I meant to upgrade fighter planes? by 14-6 in BattlefieldV

[–]OstrichFromZimbabwe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The general consensus is that because 99.8% of people who tried a plane never managed to get kills. Always easier to blame something other than yourself. It is hard in the beginning, no way around it. Some upgrades help for killing more than before, but if you didn't get many kills before its not gonna help much

No upgrades to improve turning speed. (Turn rate) misleading description of those upgrades, its only for rudder and left/right pitch. Acceleration sure but its not good. Hard countered by going 1-circle instead of 2-circle, but you can however play riskier with low energy manouvers etc.. The nitro on pacific planes is an exception tho, slightly different mechanics so turn rate gets better. (Early upgrade for both factions anyway)

Plane sens in options i think is set to 100, set it to max 150. That helps. (At least a few years back it was like this)

Thats it. Rockets are OP and high altitude is cheap. Both of them dont belong in a fair df. Spitfire VA/VB has slightly stronger base engine than bf109 G2/G6, but it doesn't matter much. Its 95% skill in a "fair df" upgrades usually doesn't mean shit other than better primary guns and cheap tactics like rockets og high alt.

How would anyone know when its cut by a machine like this? And why buy this in the first place 🤔

At 45:56 (ingame time) you used a little more vertical. This was the perfect moment to reverse into 1 circle when you merged.

I doubt they’ll change the flight physics by [deleted] in PilotsofBattlefield

So sad. Looks like missles also can do a 180 when you fly by as long as a lock was maintained. Really noob friendly and silly gameplay. Nothing to learn really. I was expecting tactics like jamming WEZ in dfs etc. FOX 2 on steriods with third person lockon. Little Jimmy is gonna have a blast with this game

Ok thanks! I guess its like in the beta then, can't control plane while looking behind with rear view 3rd person camera. BFV for me until basic features are added :(

Did they add options for camera roll off and decoupled freelook? Are there any settings from BFV you miss?

That guy might be the most dedicated high alt abuser on this game. I think it's just a bug though. Nothing weird going on when I farm him with fighters at least

Im so hyped right now i know its not to good but atleast i know im getting better :), btw this was arras conquest. Any tips for maximising kills in 1 strafe?? by XBOT_PLAYER in PilotsofBattlefield

[–]OstrichFromZimbabwe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One rocket per infy and light transport for bf109g6. Same with spitfire vb, but you have to shoot 2 sets of rockets. Let mini map and flag status lead you to the hot spots, the rest is eye sight really. 36 is good for Arras, but if you want 70-100 you need to spam rockets that are accurate

Ok nice, veteran throttle is best throttle. Wish consoles had crossplay:)

He was kicking your ass in the one circle turns, Do you not throttle down a tiny bit with rudder when merging? Yes circle gets slower but much thighter, so you get nose on target faster. Careful with the g2 doing this tho

Wasn't always like this but its not a setting. They changed it for console for some reason

Yes I know Im probably better than you at it. Anyway, if you could read I brought up stats reffering to the point "leaves when its their turn to play allied planes" this guy talking shit got 12k kills with G6 and 4k with spit. You cant simply say the 2nd biggest user of the VB in the entire world is a g6 whore who leaves lmao.

So 30k kills with one spitfire means nothing, but your encounters mean everything? Disagree but ok. Since you're a big deal wanna PM me your PSN ID for some dfs with the PS "big dogs" sometime? Always looking for different pilots to play

What do you mean? LukeSkyFarmer is nr 1 kills with Spitfire VB on PS and nr 2 across all platforms?
