How To Take Off:
To take off the helicopter on PC use W on your Keyboard. While on the console you have to move your left stick up and let your helicopter in the air in no minute.
How To Hover The Helicopter:
You can adjust the blades of your helicopter by moving your mouse or right stick to the left and right. Just focus that the blades of the helicopter must be leveled up before you hover it.
How to Move Forward:
When you want to fly your helicopter in the forward direction, move your mouse upwards on the PC. On Console, you need to take your right stick up.
How to Move Backwards:
Just like you move forward on PC and consoles, use similar controls but in reverse to move backward.
Yawing: How To Take a Turn:
When you take left and right turns on the helicopter, this is called Yawing. To take turns on PC you have to use A and D. And on Console, you have to use the left stick of the controller to take right and left turns.
How to land the Helicopter:
Use the rolling pads to level your aircraft with the ground, keep everything in control until you reach the ground. Throttling must be done slowly and not too fast or else you will end up crashing the helicopter.
When you have mastered all the controls of the helicopter it is high time that you learn some tricks to fly your helicopter.
- If you have the scout or attack helicopter, you can play vigorously, giving the enemies the hardest time to knock you. Since the Scout helicopters have miniguns and rockets, while attack helicopters have a huge amount of armor and missiles to deploy.
- Whereas transport helicopters are concerned you need to be slow and steady in that case because you have to drop off troops on the ground. Hence, it needs to be done safely.
