A few buzzes over the island before you eject over a flag are always worth it. Each enemy you spot on your island flyovers will appear on your team's radar, making them much easier to spot and kill. The best use of planes besides quick transport is surveillance.
Nevertheless, these can be used to shake things up for a tank below. We've been bombed by a plane five or six times in a row from a sniper spot and survived it without a problem. You will rarely find an enemy weak enough to kill with these. You'll also be able to drop a pair of what seem to be the weakest bombs ever to exist in a video game. The primary gun is deadly to infantry if you can hit them on the ground - just be sure to pull up after an attack! The twin guns are best used to hit enemy planes in a dogfight. Planes have two types of weapon at their disposal. Mid-air repair - Graze the ground of a landing strip to repair your craft.Switch to first-person mode to spot enemy planes - they will be circled in red. Dogfight - The best way to dogfight is to stay behind your enemy.Bail out when you've taken two or more hits and your enemy will most likely keep pursuing your abandoned plane. Evade enemies - Turn quickly, cut your engines and then level out flat to avoid making yourself a bigger target.Eject - You can eject from a plane high up and use your parachute or very close to the ground (or a rooftop etc.) to survive the fall.Barrel rolls - Use the pitch stick to roll without turning to avoid enemy fire.Quick turns - Cut your engines and bank sharply in a direction, then engage them again to pull out quickly.Take off - Engage the engines and direct the plane up immediately without turning, then turn around when you have height.Switch your view - Flying your plane in third-person is much easier than first unless you are trying to spot enemy planes.
If you cannot wrap your head around flying, doing so may help you out.Ī few tricks you should learn to get by in the skies include the following: We found it MUCH easier to adjust to the controls once we switch to "southpaw" plane controls. Flying a plane is not the most natural thing in Battlefield, and ignorance can be dangerous: touching any grounded object will destroy a plane and result in a suicide, and just a few enemy bullets will down the craft with you inside. This is absolutely the fastest way to reach flags at the start of a game.įirst time pilots would do well to play through the flying tutorial (it becomes available during the tutorial after capturing the first flag - just hop in a plane). You can shoot on your way down or drop explosives. You can ditch planes in mid air, then double-tap jump to open a parachute. Planes only appear at landing strips at home bases (two of them) with an additional plane at one other point on each map at a highly contested air strip. Planes are definitely the preferred method of fast transportation, as exemplified by the many soldier waiting in line for them to spawn.
