Black Hawk Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 I'm gonna give up on the choppers i think. Being a mouse and keyboard chopper ###### on DC i'm really having trouble getting to grips with flying them in BF2. It got alot better once i switched the mouse axis but the choppers feel like they are flying in treacle turning on the spot is no longer a swift and deadly movement, more like target practice for everyone else. I know not everyone is having problems and i know that the old "which helicopters are better" argument will probably go on for quite a while and i can also see what they've tried to do by making it easier for joystick control but i do wish they handled like DC choppers lol.586072399[/snapback] I'm having the exact same problem. I loved flying helos in DC but it's pretty hard getting used to it in BF2. BF:V just felt sluggish. In DC you could turn on a dime but in 2 it feels totally slow. Another thing that's really wierd is that I seem to have a problem with the axis while flying a helo and jet. When I change the option of reversing the axis, the helo my fly well but the axis while flying a jet are reversed. Really annoying. Anyone know what the problem is?

Jon Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 I guarantee you a pilot with a joystick will outfly a keyboard pilot. Serious pilots should highly consider investing in at least a decent joystick. You make it sound like a real flight sim lol..... It's an arcade game. You're not flying, but playing an FPS in a different 3d model, 50ft up. Flight model my arse :p The demo is amazing, the 'pressing 3 keys on the kb' issue annoys me, but can't be helped it seems!

quigley0 Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 One thing alot of people are forgetting is that in BF2, we get to fly the antiquated (though still deployed by the USMC) Cobra Attack Helo. In desert combat, you got the Apache, and highly nimble defender 500 little-bird. Now, I am not sure if the Apache is any more agile then the Cobra (The apache actually has a smaller powerplant), but the Little Bird will outfly them both in terms of agilty (not speed). The Blackhawk feels about the same as it did in DC, but, the MEC Havok feels less nimble than the Hind, and I dont believe this should be the case. The Hind was a dual-role copter, and a hell of a gun ship, but not as nimble as a dedicated fast attack helo. Just my 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 I am not sure if the Apache is any more agile then the Cobra Hint: IRL One can do a loop. The other can't ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiGhTfast Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 I'm playing on GeForce4 Ti4600, and while it looks disgusting, and it's hard to play cause the mini-map's screwed and artifacts everywhere...But it plays well and I've never been booted or crashed to desktop! 586087492[/snapback] how exactly? i went and bought a 9800pro because geforce4's dont work?
