Title, I can’t controll them and either get A) Minced when I spawn or B) Crash into a mountain a few moments after spawning.
I just want the 3 Jet kill ribbons so I can get the assignment and never use these freaking things again..
I forgot how the controls are defaulted but change it where your throttle and yaw (like turning left and right on a car) is on your left stick and pitch (up and down) and roll on your right. Much easier and natural this way. On this way most of your input is on the right stick. So to lift off increase throttle and pull up on the right stick.
I don’t understand the whole throttle thing.
I have been playing Air Superiority in order to even be able to fly, and I don’t exactly know how I increase/decrease it
I was in the same boat as you. BF3 couldnt fly for the life of me. Thought I was retarded because legacy southpaw was the only thing that made sense to my brain for both helicopters and jets. then in bf4 they changed the controls and suddenly i got a feel for it much much better. then i went back to bf3 and realized the default controls were fine except that I had to switch the option for “invert vertical flight” or something like that. now It’s much easier, try that
also look for an empty air superiority server so you can practice
Don’t understand the throttle thing? The throttle in a jet is a forward/backward push lever, not 2 buttons. So it’s actually more realistic now.
Throttle is the power your jet is giving, same concept as in an automobile. Look at your ui, it tells you your speed and altitude when inside a jet. Noting your speed will help you excel in dogfights, since maneuverability relies on speed.
Basic throttle use: slow down to strafe a ground target or another unsuspecting aircraft strafing something or speed up to evade enemy fire or lock. Keep it in mind that slowing down is more difficult than speeding up, so you could use this to your advantage. Too slow of air speed also makes you stall unless you dive down and+or apply thrust.
No I mean I don’t understand how I do it.
I understand the concept, but I have no idea how to
Push up, speed up. Push down, slow down.
Flying is easy. Flying well, not so much.
Very carefully
