Next, give the rudders a shot. While in level flight, push the left control stick to the left and to the right. Notice how this changes the heading of your aircraft without affecting the pitch or roll. This is useful when lining up ground targets for strafing runs, allowing you to make slight lateral adjustments to your flight path.
Basic Maneuvers. Banking turns and Immelmanns are the quickest way to aim your jet in a new direction. To perform a banked turn, roll your aircraft right or left degees so the wings are perpendicular to the ground. Now, pull back on the right stick to turn. This causes your jet to rapidly change its heading. To decrease the turn radius of your jet, hold down the left trigger or L2 during a turn to activate the speed brake.
While throttling down allows you to turn faster, it also reduces your air speed, potentially leading to a stall. So once your turn is complete, level out and throttle-up to avoid stalling. Banked turns are essential during dogfights. Immelmanns are the quickest and easiest way to turn around. While in level flight, simply pull back on the right stick to perform a half loop.
Keep pulling back as your jet goes vertical, but stop when you see the horizon. At this point your jet is upside down, so perform a degree roll to orient your aircraft right-side up in level flight.
Half loops are easy but cause you to gain a lot of altitude, making it easier for you to be targeted by surface-to-air missiles. Still, when performing strafing runs against ground targets, Immelmanns are the best way to stay lined-up with your target. Obviously, you need plenty of altitude to successfully perform a Split-S without crashing. But if the space allows, a Split-S is a great way to lose an enemy fighter on your tail. Air-to-Air Combat. All of the jets in Battlefield are capable fighters, ideal for shooting down enemy aircraft.
For beginners, the cannon is the only weapon available. The cannon is by far the most effective weapon for shooting down enemy planes and helicopters. Unlike heat seeking missiles, flares or other forms of ECM cannot trick the cannon.
However, you must be a very good pilot to score hits with the cannon. When the reticle is placed over an enemy plane, fire the cannon. If you score a hit, the reticle displays a small bloom animation. To prevent overheating, fire the cannon in short bursts.
But even when your target erupts in flames, keep firing. Otherwise the enemy pilot may bail out or put out the flames with the Extinguisher upgrade. So it pays to be aggressive. Keep shooting until the plane explodes, scoring you more points of destroying a vehicle as well as killing the enemy pilot. Heat Seekers are an early unlock weapon for the jets and make shooting down enemies even easier.
But before you can fire one of these missiles, you must first attain a lock. It can take a few seconds to lock-on to an enemy aircraft so do your best to keep the target within the green circle on the HUD. The enemy aircraft must be within this circle for a missile to achieve a lock.
Look for the red bounding box in the center of the HUD to indicate which target the missile is locking onto. The missile lock process is accompanied by a series of beeping sounds.
The beeping sounds get faster and faster until finally becoming a solid tone, indicated a lock. As soon as a lock is achieved, fire both missiles. You can fire two missiles in quick succession, maximizing damage upon impact. However, if your opponent deploys IR Flares, the missiles will miss. A panicked enemy pilot might deploy flares at the first sign of a lock.
In this case, just be patient and achieve a new lock. Defensive Flying. Heat seeking missiles can be your best friend, and your worst enemy.
But if you learn to deal with these threats, they become little more than a nuisance. Your first line of defense are the IR Flares. Pressing the right bumper button or R1 deploys flares. Instead, wait until a missile is launched. If you hear a series of high-pitched beeping sounds following a lock, a missile has been launched and is heading for your aircraft.
Quickly deploy flares before the missile impacts. After deploying flares, make several aggressive maneuvers to avoid getting locked onto again. It takes approximately ten seconds to replenish your flares, leaving you defenseless during this period.
Battlefield recently released a patch to all systems for support of a "practice" mode. There are 2 different options:. There is a co-op level that involves flying a helicopter, but it's not the best chance to practice.
Your best bet is to attempt to find a flight training server. These are servers which have a low max player amount, instant vehicle respawn, and generally people leave you alone to practice flying, and will only dogfight with you after asking if you wish to dogfight.
Will it be possible to practice flying without having to be in an active multiplayer server? Such as a large training map or something of the sorts so people can hone their skills in the flying vehicles. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.

Something where you can pick the map, spawn by yourself, and practice with vehicles and parachuting and anything else!

When enough people join the game, the map will reload and the actual ranked match will start Do the above, but rent a server and make it private with a jet map.
