As someone who currently serves in an Armoured Regiment. A lot of our IVC (Individual Field Craft) relates to countering/mitigating against Fast Air Attacks aka Helicopters and Jets. So in that aspect using them in game to kill other fast air and armoured assets is actually pretty spot on to how theyd get used in real life.
Jets in BF2042 are completely unskilled. There's no proper dogfighting, no aiming beyond the basics, the input and physics are extremely bad and the only viable option are lock ons. It feels like it is built so that anyone could fly these planes. They even bounce off most skyscrapers. Also notice how in BF4, your laser guided camera would be tilted, as to not fly straight into the ground (as is the case irl).
@@cjerp It is possible with 2 players. One uses the Rao specialists to hack the jet. This stops them popping flares. The other player then hits them with stinger. My friend and I do this all the time when we get sick of Jets spoiling infantry gameplay.
Hi, just found your channel. Thanks for the informative and positive content on BF2042. I really enjoy the game after the recent updates and it bothers me that most people just hate on the game with no reason. Or they think it’s cool to be negative. Anyway, keep it up and have a nice Christmas as well
As a tank this sucks, like you said there just isn’t much we can do, the jet will just keep turning around lol. I’ll have to try the getting out tactic
The problem I have is that 1. You can't spot and it's so damn hard to see vehicles on 1080p and most vehicles just blend in 2. The lock-on distance is so close to the ground that I often can't pull up in time 3. Hitting the ground is way less forgiveable than previous bf 4. No real speed control just boost and turn 5. The spread on the guns is nuts that it's super hard to take out even stationary infantry 6. Very limited weapons make pretty lackluster variety in jet gameplay. 7. Jet controls just feel so floaty 8. You don't know how much damage you've done . It's literally just 2 rockets for jeeps, 3 for tanks and 4 for the MAV. 9. You can't lock onto empty vehicles so people just jump out before you can fire the last rocket 10. If a vehicle has been vacated for like more than 15s then you get no vehicle destroyed points Jets are shit in this game.
1. 3rd person zoom is nice but may consider getting 1440p 2. Slow down when diving 3. Hum? 4-10. "Don't be sad, this is just how it works out sometimes"
@@AzuraProductions I'm on a console not pc master race so it's not as easy as just getting a higher res screen. Plus I don't believe it's a resolution issue but how easily the vehicles blend in on some maps. I never had the same issue on earlier bf games! For #3 what do you mean um? If you try to land slowly even in a Heli you nearly die! It's far less forgiving to collisions.
@@geetarwanabe Yeah for some reason dropping a vehicle to the ground in this game makes it like accelerate towards it. It's very hard to make a soft landing with any air vehicle for some reason. As for htting the ground itself, jets in this game are really slow in pulling up after a dive, especially when slowed down. I don't know if this is realistic or not, but it feels more like a bf5 plane to me than a aerodynamic master piece from the 21th century. When an attack helicopter is chasing me around the map he's almost just as fast as me which makes no sense to me.
If you have thermal smoke and a repair tool the jet cannot kill you I was in a Wildcat and this jet probably spent 10 minutes trying to get me and couldn't
The bolte are easy to take down hit them a rock and they stall throw a second one and they blow up. Not to mention their canons have to cool down after ever second shot.
jets are SOOO boring the only fun i found is actually running 25mm and trying to snipe infantry ... its stupidly hard you rarely get a kill but at least its more fun than locking on to things over and over
By the way you can repair your jet with the repair tool. Try to have it parallel to the ground and speed below 90. Use slowdown effect that starts around 1100 altitude
Nerf the reloading time for the AGM, as a jet pilot I will confirm it's a bit too good right now and giving the jet a reason to use their cannons more wouldn't be bad. Give the jets a tool to kill infantry more reliably (dumb missiles, bombs or something) so they're not stuck to just killing ground vehicles most of the time and increase the air ceiling for jets compared to helis so it becomes more inviting to hunt them instead of ground targets. The laughable range of the air radar also doesn't help much when trying to take down air targets. Jets are so slow in this game when turning that when you come in for your next strafe, you'll have to hope the target didn't move much so you'll find it in time to line up your cannons properly. Pair that with poor visibility and it's no wonder most pilots just skip the air targets and go for ground targets instead. I tried to use the Radar Missiles as dumbfire missiles for ground targets, but that is completely rubbish, the missiles don't go where your crosshair is aiming and for Air to Air it's not even that great either. Maybe if they gave it more splash damage it would be an option. In this game every vehicle can be a straight up nightmare for the enemy when used right, but none are invincible. Some games I can fly a whole game without a care and in others I spend 10 minutes fighting a Wildcat that's hiding next to / under cover or an attack heli that's just hovering at the air ceiling chasing my every move. In breakthrough Wildcats can hide in their base which makes them unreachable for infantry and they're basically the equivalent of AA campers in BF3/4. I think what we miss the most here is stationary guns that allow infantry to deal with vehicles that they currently can't deal with. But then these vehicles should also have the tools to deal with these stationaries.
I hate how everything is just a lock on. Infantry is just lock on, other vehicles are just lock ons. The jets have no anti infantry cause of the lack of unguided bombs as well as the main cannons having unbelievable spread and low velocity, it’s really irritating cause jets just feel boring, when they were fun in bfV and 1.
@@AzuraProductions I also hate how you don’t need to learn bomb drop trajectories and actually learn how they drop to more effectively take out vehicles and infantry. It’s just point and click and it’s boring.
What in game mouse settings do you use for flying the jet? I find myself scrolling my hand very widely on my desk over and over just to loop/turn around and it feels wrong
Love tearing up the enemy in a plane especially when I'm on foot and the enemy floods the sky with helicopters and then I respawn to the vehicle menu to see that beautiful plane sitting there open and then I wipe the enemy team to the point where they don't even respawn any air vehicles 🤣🤣🤣🤣 lol. Also forgot which plane does it but on controller I hit d-pad up and it will hover like a heli but you have to do it at good distances in cover because your mobility is not very good in this plane mode but if you manage to learn how it works you can absolutely destroy ground vehicles and infantry.love seeing battlefield content creators and I see you got some videos specific to bf2042...def a sub from me.
Funny cause jets are actually the worst vehicles in this BF. I can destroy them easy with little bird, extremaly easy with apatche/hokum and depend of shooters with ospray or hind. Actually u can destroy jets even with bolte with rockets. Maybe on consoles jets are better cause u know... mouse >>> controlers.
When you say that as a jet you are not contributing a lot in this game and seeing that you are having difficulty unlocking or doing something worth it made me realize that I miss Battlefield V even more. Planes in that game were so vital to the gameplay. I am hoping that when they add new vehicles soon they add an attack jet variant of at least give the current jets some rocket pods.

Jets are OP in this game. so hard to take down with aa missiles because of the flares that pop so fast
the only way is having a squad in all parts of the map focusing the same jet
The only really easy way to take out jets would be with another jet. But then they don't really kill infantry either so most people just ignore them.

Pretty much spot on. Personally I team up with a wildcat and use my soflam to take out the jets and helios.
how the hell can you survive so long in a jet. when i fly i get locked on by 2 jets,1 heli and at least 20 people with anti air guns..
Also a fun way to do is bully the boltes with caspers drone, 2 people are enough to keep em disabled like 90% of the time
Lol... They do that to my tank all the time
You were one of the best battlefield youtubers, I hope you're doing what you want to do or if you could maybe make some new videos :)
Pro tip - hover 500m above the battle field and reign down death ....... planes aint for flying they for hovering !
I just get out of vechiles as soon as I heard a lock on 😂
This is what I've been telling my friends, they're more supportive for foot mobiles now more than ever, but don't expect 60 plus kills😁
Maybe try jet gameplay in Portal mode. There you have better cannons you get additional rocket pods. Its kinda buggy and tricky tho to equip those
BF3 jets are pretty good
@@AzuraProductions A gameplay would be nice 😉
Maybe will consider in the future. Haven't really played portal that much
If you have thermal smoke and a repair tool the jet cannot kill you

“NO! Please stop-“ hugs broken down bolte while frantically pressing repair button in cloud of thermal smoke “She’s all I got left!”

Just skybox the jet with a chopper XD

Fliegerfausts has traumatized me enough for me to avoid strafing infantry
It’s taking me so long to get used to the air vehicles lol
is a HEAT round from a Tiger stronger or as strong as a HEAT round from a Panzer IV ???
Made both jets to Tier 1 mainly by killing ground vehicles, especially these hated Boltes
Wow jets seem depressing in this game. I dont even notice them much tbh.
Lol ya, the only time you notice them is if you are in a chopper or tank
HOW TO DO A Dogfight.what are the tactics, subtleties?! you are a talented person. (xzy) ;) dogfight with jet is fun.teach me please!
This is to assume you have free reign of the sky. You need anti air missiles to defend yourself against enemy helis / jets.
I just use 30mm against all air targets
For bf5 myth can you headshot an infantry with a headshot with a tank?
You can headshot infantry with a tank shell.
By the way you can repair your jet with the repair tool. Try to have it parallel to the ground and speed below 90. Use slowdown effect that starts around 1100 altitude
Jets need nerfing or ground vehicle need change to deflect it
