Summarize your bug Flight assist for Helicopters cannot be disabled.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Load into a match (If a public match doesn't work, use a custom match) and use any helicopter (Any 2042 Helicopter will work, but the MD540 Nightbird is the most noticeable) with flight assist off.
What happens when the bug occurs?  I am constantly fighting my mouse/controller to try and get the helicopter to go where I want it to.
What should be happening instead? I should be flying with complete directional control. Like BF4.

  • I'm not sure is a flight assit problem: they changed something on physics of this helicopter...

  • It is INSANLY hard to aim any pilot controlled weapons in helicopters. I was an unlucky victim of the pre-order. I only liked the helicopters in this game. If they ruined the only thing I liked about this game, I will...    I dont know what I will do. Help me help EA fix this bug/bad update.

  • Oh it most definetely is a flight assist bug of some kid, having the heli move by itself is not normal and didn't occur before this patch. they have changed the roll speed, yaw glide and collective strength but it constantly fights against your every move.
