The sad Air Vehicle Mechanics from BF2042 are back again?

BF2, 3, and 4 were the games that made the Battlefield franchise glorious, and the devs should have stuck to the same formula. But from what I’ve seen, it looks like they copy-pasted the air vehicle mechanics from BF2042 — and that’s just sad.

Air vehicles were the holy grail of those older games: skillful, hard to maneuver, but incredibly rewarding once you mastered them. They weren’t easy to control — once you pointed the nose of your Mi-28 down, nothing could stop you from hitting the ground. You could feel the G-forces and everything else. And you had actual bases to take off from with your jets, instead of just spawning randomly in the air like now.

Oh, and of course, the TV missiles from the gunner — those were the hardest things to handle, but so, SO satisfying when you hit a jet or heli with one.

From what I’ve seen so far, it looks like the artificial-feeling air vehicles from BF2042 are back again. I really hope they fix this mechanic before launch — otherwise, it’ll feel like DICE only managed to achieve perfection 14 years ago.

  • Completely agree. The flight controls for 2042 were absolutely abysmal. They need to be erased completely and go back to the controls from BF4.

    And im speaking as a old competitve attack heli player, we would appreciate the gold era back again. Have a look in my battlelog and will have my history playing it.

    Piloting a jet hasn't felt this satisfying since BF3. I hope they bring back this gameplay to aircraft vehicles.

  • It took me a long time to get used to the controls in BF4, especially for the scout heli. I never really got into flying in BF2042, so I hope in BF6 it’s more like it was in BF4 tbh.

  • I flew a lot in 2042 but I must’ve customized the controls. I’m used to flying just like in BF4 but yes, in the beta I have no control over maneuvers and can barely point the nose down. It makes it very difficult to attack anything on the ground. I really hope they fix this.
