A few points to consider. If I flew as steady as you were I would be sniped out in under a minute. I know you said you were playing against AI but I think that's important. Even flying like a maniac there's always somebody who can snite me out of the helicopter when I'm flying full speed straight at the ground. Weapons: I love the AGMs. If you have someone using a soflam, they hit aircraft really really hard. I also find it very useful to be able to kill light armored vehicles that are traveling at a high rate of speed. It is important to note that most vehicles cannot be killed with two AGMs. That's where the 20 mm Canon comes in. Admittedly yes it is not as versatile as the minigun. But the minigun does not damage vehicles. If you can hit a vehicle with two AGMs, you can use usually finish it off with the 20mm. I assume you're playing on computer? Your aiming was extremely steady. I find that I can aim better on a computer but I can fly better on a controller. I just opt for the controller because when I use the helicopter it's hit and run. I use it specifically for infantry support. When you answer fighting on the ground, I'm the helicopter that's shooting everything you shoot. So while the grenade launchers are not as effective at outright killing (ESPECIALLY AFTER THE NERF!), They are absolutely excellent at causing chaos and disrupting enemy groups that are engaged with your team. Watch a cluster of 30 of them on a rock scatter when those 20 start flying. Want to make an enemy pull back into a building while your team advances? Just start blowing the hell out of them and they will all look for cover. You need to open that cover up for your team to shoot into the building? Just do a few strafing runs on the building and you can open that thing up like a can opener. Just a few points to think about. On a side note, I would really like to see more options for weaponry on the little bird. I agree that what you are saying is kind of the meta but there are definitely uses for the other weapons. In fact, most of the vehicles and weapons could use a lot more options so that way everyone is not running to the one fit that works.
Very true, although what you mentioned about being sniped from the ground really you can't do anything about, I've always been a good tanker with very good predictions and distancing for shots and have shot down a lot of full speed copters and jets even at mid to long range, but even many normal players will be able to take any help if they really wanted at mid range but there's nothing you can really do about it if you're in a helicopter looking for ground infantry kills as they require being closer where you're in easy firing sight for tanks and some infantry guns. Best option is to just be aware of where enemy tanks are and keep away from them unless specifically trying to target them while they're not looking at you and ground units with anti aircraft weapons can't have much done with apart from noticing who is firing at you and taking them out asap
Tip 1 : Add/customise ping/common rose button on your d-pad➡️( the same as your standard repair button,(activate equipment slot 2). (menu-options-contoller-controller schemes-edit controller mappings-pilot-ping commonrose[HOLD] So that you repair button has 2 functions at the same time,ping and repair.( on pc you can add it on any button you feel fine with)This way you can ping the distance for the sweatspot for the miniguns.(The sweatspot is about 50m) This is also very helpfull for your jets to ping enemy vehicles for your second attack run with the air to ground missiles for example. And very helpfull for the hind and condor attack chopper so your teammates in the transport gunner seats know where the pilots target is and help you to destroy the enemy threat choppers jets vehicles etc. Tip 2 : Make sure the helicopter control assist is set off.(Menu-options-controller-vehicles) Ill make a video to explain,cheers thanks for your video
Great video Ghost. I don't know about anyone else but I'm glad they nerfed the 20mm cannons on the little bird. Recently though, I have been spawning the Transport heli/Condor instead of a little bird because the 50mm cannon on the front gunner of that is like the damn AC-130! Even with a newbie in the front gunner seat, that thing is lethal...
Thx a lot, I sometimes try to fly, but I don't really hit stuff with miniguns, I don't know why, it's the same with any minigun mounted on any vehicle. And in the nightbird I don't even get kills with rockets 😂
Very good information... I see now why I wasn't getting the kills I thought I should've. I'd like more Nightbird tips....Hopefully will get my T1 Nightbird before too long!
But how do you keep the reticle steady and aim steady. I consider myself to have pretty good aim and a good pilot but I can’t control the app at all even when taking this video into consideration
Personally, Nightbird aka Littlebird is my fav aircraft, infantry stands no chance but I run 20mm, and agm. The Problems start when Im focused by enemy Jets and there are no buildings or low terrain to hide behind like on that trash south american map. Also its rather hard to cunter a good heli pilot in the stealth helis.
Bro...I'm trying to get better at flying. I've been watching your guides...but gawd damn I CAN"T GET A SINGLE KILL!!! EVEN ON A BOT LOBBY!!! I CAN'T CONTROL THE DANG THINGS!
I'm gonna try and speak for most people here. I think most people will have trouble keeping the "cross hair " on an enemy because of how squirrely the night bird is. Maybe u should go over your sensitivity settings. Unless I just spoke to soon. I didn't watch entire video yet. Lol
Hey! I'm currently creating an updated more in-depth guide. Here is part 1 - ua-cam.com/video/qVoEu3e4ZxM/v-deo.html You can find sensitivities and key bindings as well as movement tips in that one.
I feel like countermeasures take a bit too long between uses. I usually stick to boots on the ground because as soon as I get closer I get shot down by 4 AAs even if I’m flying away. I feel like they should also add an indicator to which direction you’re being locked on like in bf4
I think it's an ignorant helicopter because it's a big round ball in the air it needs to be more flat egg a little and its tail gives it abillity to glide and take off easy But it has small wings in the front of the tail like toothless from how to train your dragons and the side of the body 0f the helicopter can have armor The papalors are two sets .
As a console pilot from bf4, it feels like a drastic change in flight mechanics and physics has been made in 2042
The choppers feel a bit less responsive I think
bf4 little bird was the best
I dont remember what any bf heli feels like cause i never get to use them
@@peabrain6872 why not
@@percio6802 cant use them because of helicampers taking them
I find the default controls for air vehicles so awkward in general that I prefer to ignore them and stick to ground to ground combat.

All vehicles suck in BF2042. They're so clunky and unpolished

love how ECM's just disappeared between BF4 and 2042
Very helpful. It looks like you aim basically at there legs vs their body or head. I think thats my error. Thanks!
It feels a lot different from Battlefield 4, I needed this video
Thx a lot, I sometimes try to fly, but I don't really hit stuff with miniguns, I don't know why, it's the same with any minigun mounted on any vehicle. And in the nightbird I don't even get kills with rockets 😂
Can we have a video on your pilot settings for the nightbird. You have such control.
How you can fly really fast near the ground?
I try to do that and heli doesnt fly any faster than it would normally do.
pretty much hold W and tilt your nose downward about 45 degrees
@@dasheesh3461 thanks
I don't know how but the zoom in air vehicles are broken as it keeps zooming out than in, idk if its due to me having custom soldier (foot) settings
Try the zoom in 3rd person view ..not the cockpit view..it's so sweet😎😎👍
how to chamge to cockpit view? I cant find it
Press c
Very good information... I see now why I wasn't getting the kills I thought I should've. I'd like more Nightbird tips....Hopefully will get my T1 Nightbird before too long!
Had to learn this on my own. Wish I saw this video before!
thankyou for explaning that distance aiming
But how do you keep the reticle steady and aim steady. I consider myself to have pretty good aim and a good pilot but I can’t control the app at all even when taking this video into consideration
Great video well explained 👍
how did you get ur crosshair to just have the circle and not the ammo dots around it ?
The fact you are immune to small arms fire and MGs is complety broken imho.
Any tips for the Wiimote & Nunchuk players out there?
Yea. Just stop
Very useful guide, thanks. 😉
Crikey this is necessary information aye
Какой же приятный фермер.Хороший чувак
This feels like an unnecessary change that only made helis worse
Still prefer the 20mm, one "flyby" 2-3 Kills, overheat, retreat, repeat.
Personally, Nightbird aka Littlebird is my fav aircraft, infantry stands no chance but I run 20mm, and agm. The Problems start when Im focused by enemy Jets and there are no buildings or low terrain to hide behind like on that trash south american map. Also its rather hard to cunter a good heli pilot in the stealth helis.
Bro...I'm trying to get better at flying. I've been watching your guides...but gawd damn I CAN"T GET A SINGLE KILL!!! EVEN ON A BOT LOBBY!!! I CAN'T CONTROL THE DANG THINGS!
so basically it has some kind of "zeroing" around... what is it? 40 meters?
How do you stop moving mid mouvement when u go left from right ?
NIce video, but nothing with the sensitivity?
Thanks!
Nice, now I just have to learn how to fly like that...
I'm gonna try and speak for most people here. I think most people will have trouble keeping the "cross hair " on an enemy because of how squirrely the night bird is. Maybe u should go over your sensitivity settings. Unless I just spoke to soon. I didn't watch entire video yet. Lol

There is an indicator ;) you can see it in the video, it's a red arrow-like indicator
How do you fly away fast and low? I always end up climbing too high when I try to go fast and getting AA'd.
Alternate between thrust and throttle
How does your game look so sharp? Any Nvidia settings?
Can you do a jet guide. Particularly jet v jet. There is no info anywhere on the internet on jet v jet for bf 2042.
Very helpful. Actually didn't know about the tilting, that is very interesting!
I think it's an ignorant helicopter because it's a big round ball in the air it needs to be more flat egg a little and its tail gives it abillity to glide and take off easy
But it has small wings in the front of the tail like toothless from how to train your dragons
and the side of the body 0f the helicopter can have armor
The papalors are two sets .
The smoke or dust when you shot at the ground is so bad, I can't see shit
feels like the minigun is more accurate on pc than on ps4
150 fps..... How?
👍👍
