Practice Servers

Since I know how frustrating it can be for more experienced jet and heli pilots to see a newbie hop in just to crash, I have been trying to practice in the practice servers, but it’s extremely frustrating when you’re getting spawn camped by others. I finally get in a jet (of course I don’t last long because I’m still learning) and have to fight my way into another. It’s exhausting. Is there a way to practice without other players? I’ve tried some practice servers with no players on, but there’s no vehicles in them.

    I don’t mind the dogfighting and getting shot down. That can only make me better. I was a decent pilot in bf2, but I used a joystick and bf6 is not great with joystick. MNK is not natural for me flying lol. It’s taking time. I am joining a lot of practice servers that don’t have jets or helis. When I do find one that has them, the spawn area is being camped by infantry with spawn beacons, shooting me as soon as I spawn. When I finally clear it enough to get in a jet or heli, I get taken out by jet or heli before I get lifted off. 

    I would use practice servers with bots only to learn, but I’m not sure how much I’d use it once I feel comfortable enough to join populated servers.

    TruckerClint​ I can definitely see where you're coming from on this one. Learning jets and helicopters is tough enough without spending half your time waiting for a vehicle to respawn or getting blown up before you can even practice a maneuver. This is why I stay on the ground. I am terrible at flying, so I leave this one up to my buddies.

    One thing I'm curious about: are you mostly focused on basic flight controls and handling, or are you working on things like dogfighting, rocket runs, and vehicle combat? And when you're jumping into those practice/community servers, are you finding servers with vehicles but too many pilots, or mostly empty servers that don't seem to have the aircraft available at all?

    Honestly, I think there are probably quite a few newer pilots in the same boat. If there were a dedicated training experience with aircraft always available and no combat pressure, would that be something you'd use regularly, or would you prefer a bot-supported environment where you could actually practice against targets without fighting other players for vehicles?
