If you have tried flying a jet in Battlefield 6 and immediately nose-dived it into a mountain, congratulations, you just joined a humongous community. @charlieINTEL set off a Twitter storm by asking whether players are good jet flyers in the game, and the battlefield community has been pumping out hilariously-relatable responses ever since. The skies say…some will get to the skies and some never will.
The tweet read something along the lines of: “Are you good at flying the jets in Battlefield 6?” while there was a clip showing some promised slick stunts from the air. However, the comments came crashing in, full of comedic, sarcastic commentary from pod-skill cast saying that flying in Battlefield 6 is either a nightmare or an art-all the way.
@209Trigga sort of summed up the overall community answer: “I’m good at flying them off the map and into the ground.” Yep. That’s a mood. Then there was @SteveyGuv admitting: “I cant even drive a fk’in tank let alone fly a jet.” Honestly? Same. The struggle is real, folks.
Crashing might not be the only problem, though. Some say that even getting to enter a jet is half the struggle. @ADAML1980 lamented, “I can’t ever even get one lol,” and @Shingeki1323 commented, “I can’t get in one often enough to actually practice.” So even if you want to get better, the game might not let you. Brutal.
Then the argument of controller vs. key-mouse begins. @TheCriticalDri1 yelled, “PLEASE give us keyboard and mouse folk a Helicopter and/or Jet Range to understand and know how to fly. Most of us are trained on Warzone man and high fiving the ground with our foreheads ffs.” The pain is palpable. @Havoc_XXI chimed in, “Yup, better with the helos but that’s what years of Battlefield gets you.” Okay, show-off.
Not everyone is struggling, of course. @necondaa007 sent out a clip of his skills with confidence, “I think I’m good.” And @DaFleetCaptain teased a GTAV helicopter video, “Cant wait to get back into Battlefield choppers!” But seriously, those guys are the only ones.
The really funny bit? Players begging for a practice mode. @ec4pres said it all: “I wish there was a way to practice with them to get better without crashing into a mountain 30secs after getting it and my teammates calling me dogshit in the match chat.” Oof. That’s a very specific kind of humiliation. @Skopezzzz also asked for a “controller guide” because all they found were keyboard ones.
And now the chaos of actually being in the air. @loyolv said, “Yea if only there wasnt a bagillion engineers just waiting for me on the map.” @Kameron_Jones_ added, “It is very annoying how you are constantly locked on to by several sources as soon as you are in the air.” So even if you do manage to take off, you’re immediately public enemy number one. Fun.
Some players have just turned their backs on it. @GODfreak75 said, “Boots on the ground is the way to go,” with @qldgrade chiming in, “There’s way too much happening on the ground to even care about the skies.” That makes sense. Not everyone wants to be Top Gun.
But hey, at least it generates some solid meme material. @leflame0676 shared a clip of their jet crashing immediately with the caption: “How I felt hopping in a jet and crashing it into a mountain immediately.” Relatable content. And @notyourbro666 asked: “Can you do this in Battlefield 6?” with a clip of some insane stunt flying. The answer? Probably not, but we can dream.
So what’s the final word? Very hard. Hard. That’s the real deal about flying in Battlefield 6. But either you’re a vet pilot or the person who’s having a hard time telling the sky from the ground, the community reaction proves one thing: We are all in this together. And perhaps DICE will toss a bone at us with a practice mode. Until then? Keep crashing, kings. You’re not alone.
