Rasteri In my opinion, jets are the best of all the vehicles in the beta, even though they still need some fine-tuning and balancing. They’re a bit weak and go down way too easily, and their firepower feels a little underwhelming… but the sound design is phenomenal.
Helicopters, on the other hand, are by far the worst out of all the vehicles/aircraft. The controls with a controller are really uncomfortable (BF4’s flight system was way better).
The physics definitely need a complete overhaul—they feel like you’re piloting some super-light aircraft weighing just a few kilos: way too fast and nimble for a combat helicopter. The movement feels totally unrealistic compared to infantry speed and tank movement (which actually feel more balanced).
Again, BF4 still has a lot to teach when it comes to helicopters and beyond. Personally, I also find the cockpit visibility a bit too limited. Overall, based on the beta, it looks like there’s still a lot of work to be done.
