Do you think Jets in Battlefield 2042 have speed control 313 like BF3/4 ?

An interesting thing to note is that Criterion is also working on battlefield 2042, and they are also the ones who overhauled battlefront 2 air combat (which was much better than the first game), so hopefully we'll get to see them doing their magic. A new flight system different from previous battlefield games would be welcome.
If not, and if we're going back to how planes flew in older games, I definitely would prefer to BF3/4 flight system over BF1/5 any day, at least BF3/BF4 flight was fun enough for people to focus on solely mastering jet dogfighting and form communities around just purely jet dogfighting, dogfighting had surprisingly more depth once you figured out the basics (basics like speed control).
But for example in battlefield V people mostly just hit the brakes and hope that the enemy jet will overshoot them when they're getting chased as trying anything else will just get you killed regardless of skill level, it gets boring after a while.
An ideal system for jets would be one that is easy to learn but hard to master. BF1/Bf5 did the former, BF3/BF4 the latter, we just need one that does both 🙂

The game is going to preserve BFV movements with a few tweaks, including gliding.So I doubt 313 will return for the jets How they say here, most likely like BFV or BF1.
Driving a jet in battlefield became very easy, now anyone is a pilot. I would like the return of what it was in battlefield 3, where you had to have a certain skill to use the jet.

I hope it will be at least somewhat similar to BF3/BF4, in battlefield 5 flying a plane felt like flying a brick, for example this how high level dogfighting with 313 speed control in battlefield 3 looked liked (not my video/also timestamped) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1f86DkAv98&t=348s&ab_channel=iDC-Bob , which was simply more interesting than whatever dogfights battlefield V had.

I really Hope that we can take off From a Base and not just come in from the sky. would be nice to have the choice in case there is spawn camping, wouldn't that make sense that if enemies are within a zone or it would give a secondary option to spawn to the sky or another location.

@arkatec25 Yeah I loved that from the older battlefields, we know we can spawn in air vehicles now, I just hope we can spawn in the air vehicle on the ground and not mid-air like recent battlefield games

@iomar-blu Jet should have speed control, many years we spent to improve our skills, this feature should added to the game,

Dogfight like BF1 and BFv if both opponents are good the dogfight will never ends.

@N-MOOONBF1 was fine for dogfighting even without magic 313 speed control though, BF V on the other hand definitely had the weakest air to air combat in the battlefield series

I would say the same. Dogfighting was fun in BF1 unlike BFV.
I dont want 313 back even if I would say that som maneuvers would bring you behind an enemy plane going in 313 circles in BF3/4.

313 in combination with cutting and switching is what makes it skillful, forcing the pilot to multi task.

All at the same time.
