@@ryany4n You're very welcome! Hopefully this will help anyone wanting to fly in this game. When the final launch of this game is released i would expect there to be some much needed adjustments to this helicopter. We shall see. It would be nice to have jets or other helicopters. Transport helicopters would be a cool feature.
The video provided exceptional tutorials and tactical strategies. As a pilot with experience dating back to BF2, I primarily engage with attack helicopters in each Battlefield title. I was particularly impressed with Delta Force. Although flying these helicopters might seem somewhat clunky, the experience has been excellent so far. Recently, I have observed a significant demand for nerfing attack helicopters, specifically by reducing their maximum altitudes and enhancing the range of stinger missiles. I believe this is not a prudent approach, as these helicopters from what I experienced can't go below radar detection (25 m altitude) to evade stingers/anti-aircraft laser locks like other BF titles I hope no drastic changes are made, as the current balance appears nearly perfect when played strategically. Personally, I equip air-to-air missiles and anti-vehicle rockets. With a competent gunner, our team wins approximately 90% of the matches. The primary threat we face is another helicopter equipped with air-to-air missiles. Currently, the outcome depends on who locks and fires first. I have yet to find a strategy to gain an advantage in these encounters and would appreciate any insights or strategies for air-to-air combat against other helicopters. Apologies for the lengthy comment, but I am genuinely impressed by the skilled pilots who demonstrate professional teamwork strategies. Keep up the great work!
Wow! Thank you, I really appreciate it. No need to apologize, I enjoyed reading your comment. As for the radar detection you're 100% correct. I wish they never did that in Battlefield. I am definitely impressed with flying this bird in Delta Force so far too. It can use some minor adjustments to eliminate some of the clunky feel to it and then it would be perfect. I do notice some mouse sensitivity issues going on and is possibly a bug. The movement doesn't feel fluid and can use some smoothing out. It seems to be with subtle movements. I am going to do some more testing and try different things. I will be uploading soon some Air to Air combat in this game. I use the anti-vehicle rockets for air to air. I have not tried the air-to-air missiles. Yes, if you go toe 2 toe with another pilot and both using air-to-air missiles it's a 50/50. I always try my best to strategically attack another helicopter when they least expect it. As you know, one of the challenges with flying is you have too always be looking around (head on a swivel). Visibility when flying in this game needs some improvement. I find it difficult at times, so I am always using the map to pick out my targets, because in this game you can pin the target on the map. A rear-view camera would be nice or just better visibility when flying in 3rd person.
This was a great video. I think it also really helps if you level up your chopper so you get stronger weapons. I think its like past level 4 you get the stronger rocket or something? It would be awesome like in BF if you could just make an empty server and practice flying too. Like if they had a vehicle test range like the weapon test range, that would be sick :D Use cover (hide behind building / mountain) if you're out of flares and or higher altitude to evade lock on. Make sure to use an engineer operator so you can repair your chopper (you can do so out of bounds for 10s, as shown at 6:53ish) Use your team chat / voice chat to say you have a gunner spot open in the chopper too so you have more fire power.
What a great video swift! Great tactics and instructions on how you fly. I adjusted my settings and tried your tactics and it worked. Thanks again man!
That's good to hear. It's worth giving it a try. It's better to have more on your list of things to try on top of what you already have. Make adjustment and perfect your style. 😎👍
@@lucasvillegas9559 yes hopefully the devs tweak the settings and open up more adjustments to satisfy all players. I have a list of information i am sending the them.
@@prezzbelikeme Flying in BF2042 is way too easy. Hopefully the aircraft in this game (delta force) will get some fine-tuning adjustments. The speed needs to be bumped up just a tad. I have to agree after years later BF2042 helicopters are flying better then day of launch. This will be the same for any game, hence the reason for all of the testing going on. I am so happy the devs are allowing us to test and provide feedback. That's a great start already, versus the terrible support Dice did to us all in BF2042
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. I hear ya, those are still great games today. I have those BF titles. I flew a lot in BF4 but not really much in BF1. Unfortunately, I don't play those anymore due to my busy schedule. Whatever time I have available I usually play other newer games.
akchhhually, increasing the vehicle FOV does not "move the camera back", the helicopter just takes less pixels in the screen but the camera is at the same distance
Hmmm, looks futher back to me. If you look at the side by side 0:49 comparison the fuselage is smaller at 130. Based on how you described it would mean the helicopter would be the same size regardless. Either way visually it provides futher visibility when flying
I can not believe I missed this... 🤣🤣 Wait, I know why I missed it, because it's called "Quick Flip". What a name for rearview camera. 😂 Thanks a million for that info. Much appreciated! 🙏
should really increase the FOV of the heli so you can see more. Hovering high up in the air also evades stingers and lets the gunner shoot the soldier below. I don't agree I can stay alive all game long with 50+ kills at the end. Its very easy to stay alive. Just FLY high and retreat as soon as you pop flares to reset them and then engage.
Oh, definitely the FOV needs to be more than 130. Needs to be around 200 or more. To be honest, hovering up high and doing nothing is so boring. The devs are aware of the spamming going on. This same thing happened when BF2042 first came out. I will be requesting the devs to fix this in this game. A decent or good pilot and a good gunner don't need to be just sitting there hovering. Plan the attacks together and really clean house. I cannot wait for my squad mates that I normally play with can play be able to play this game so they can be my gunner. I will share an experience I had the other day. A random player jumps in with me and was complaining over the coms/mic because he wanted me to just hover up high. No way did I do that. He either gets good and scanned the area with me or get out. A few games later I had another random player join me and he was an amazing gunner. He was calling out targets for us. I was flying around doing what I normally do and communicating with him. He pulled off 56 kills and I was not hovering. Another thing I would like to share is if you want to be on top of the leaderboard you do not need kills to do it. It's all about those points and destroying armor and aircraft racks up way more points. For example, check out my other helicopter video ua-cam.com/video/DWW6QT0dN5I/v-deo.html. At minute 8 15 I am at the top of the leaderboard with only 19 kills (halfway through the match), but the player below me had more kills. The reason I was on top was my 11323 points. Armor kills average over 2k points per kill. That's a lot. Have fun keep practicing and I hope you get better. We need more good pilots in this game.
@@ExactPlanet0 Oh yes, I own the Apache in DCS and all of the campaigns/missions. I purchased the Apache when it was first launched in its beta form. Today It's still labeled "early access" which is funny to me. There are other helicopters in dcs but I never purchased them. I have not played dcs in a long time. It's a fantastic sim though.
Thanks for sharing. I have plenty of mouse pad real estate/space so I can slide my mouse to really get the quicker smoother rolling. I love my yaw on A and D
My issue is that when I'm in 1st person, I can't slightly turn left or right for adjusting my aim, and end up going past my target either to the left or right. Is there a way to turn left or right (not use A and D) with mouse?
Oh yes, you are not alone. The controls are not where they should be. It feels like a feedback issue. It's not smooth at all and feels choppy at times. The Yaw always goes way too far and of course there is lag when flying in the alpha
Finally, helo tutorial is here. much appreciated bro.

Great to hear bro! Makes me happy to hear it's helping other players get better!
just when i was learning to drive better i found your video, it definitely gave me what i was missing... well, I think so hahahaha
That's good to hear. It's worth giving it a try. It's better to have more on your list of things to try on top of what you already have. Make adjustment and perfect your style. 😎👍
I wish we can change the helicopter mouse settings to turn right and left, not to spin all the times.

@@swiftfrags Nice.
Flying like in BF is so much better.

nice video, you do bf4 or b1 flying?, dont play em now, just fun to watch.

Don't know if it already got mentioned but there is a rear view ^^ I think it is bound on V
I can not believe I missed this... 🤣🤣 Wait, I know why I missed it, because it's called "Quick Flip". What a name for rearview camera. 😂 Thanks a million for that info. Much appreciated! 🙏
I always have the problem that my rockets don’t lock on any ground vehicle at all. Is that a problem you have encountered as well?
Yes sir, this is an issue/bug for sure. Hopefully it gets fixed when the final release happens. I submitted this to the Devs.
should really increase the FOV of the heli so you can see more. Hovering high up in the air also evades stingers and lets the gunner shoot the soldier below.

Ever thought of trying out DCS World?
@@ExactPlanet0 Oh yes, I own the Apache in DCS and all of the campaigns/missions. I purchased the Apache when it was first launched in its beta form. Today It's still labeled "early access" which is funny to me. There are other helicopters in dcs but I never purchased them. I have not played dcs in a long time. It's a fantastic sim though.
Normally i have roll on mouse AND on A/D. For quicker rolling.
Thanks for sharing. I have plenty of mouse pad real estate/space so I can slide my mouse to really get the quicker smoother rolling. I love my yaw on A and D
My issue is that when I'm in 1st person, I can't slightly turn left or right for adjusting my aim, and end up going past my target either to the left or right.
