Helicopter controls glitch
There is a bug with the heli controls. When you throttle down the controls become unresponsive. At first I thought this was a new thing with bf4, but then i tried flying in chase cam mode and i was a...

There are a handful of bugs with the helicopter that I hope to god get fixed. I fly with the Xbox controller and made a video proving the pitch and roll commands stop responding while descending: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcKu42-ASEk
Also, whenever I would descend (left trigger) the freelook would enable, after opening up the BF4 Settings Editor I found there were 2 "Freelook(hold)" : http://i.imgur.com/P0X0yaA.png I heard there were some problems with the tanks and their zoom similar to this.
It seems some of the keybinds are "hardlocked" in the game. I even tried to disable the xbox controller all together and edit the controls with the keyboard, but the game was still picking up commands from the controller.
Edit: Just did a little look around and I think its because the hidden freelook button is set to my left trigger. Even though I turned it off its still thinks freelook is on thus not letting you control the helicopter, just crack it open with the battlefield 4 settings editor and check both the freelooks with the same command http://battlefield.realmware.co.uk/bf4-settings-editor/downloads when launching the game it will ask for local or cloud saved data, both of these will rebork the controls, to fix this, open up origin, click the origin tab, scroll down and uncheck the cloud storage, and everything should work a lot better. although, every other time i die the freelook wont work, but the controls should still work fine. (there shouldn't be this many hoops for something as simple as allowing personal keybinds)
I'm using a 360 controller and I'm having this issue. Tried remapping from a blank slate and it still persists. When I'm throttling up (left trigger) my pitch and roll controls are completely disabled regardless of what button I bind the pitch and roll to (currently it's the right analog stick). As soon as I let go of the throttle I regain control of the pitch and roll. It's a bug for sure. Just a question of how long it will take DICE to notice it. So frustrating.
its the lack of controller support in this game. there are bindings that are hard coded. not to mention that on screen hints like pick up weapon among others, do not show what buttons on the controller to press. thay show keyboard keys!.. its unacceptable, and i wont buy this game until fixed!
