Default Re: Aircraft controls no good?

I'm just saying each vehicle has it's positive sides and it's negative sides and they are both needed.

Yes a tank has lots of armor. But it's really slow moving, and it aims slowly too. It's super easy to hit. If you play UT2K4 you can easily and quickly take down a tank by just shooting at it with a shock rifle.

The aircraft are weaker sure. But they move WAY faster and can go up and down as well as strafe making aiming at it harder. It's also a smaller target and can aim a little bit quicker. Plus the fact that it's above everybody which isn't always where everyone is looking (that is until you start shooting at people down below). As to the avril in UT2K4 which makes it easy to take out air vehicles. It's so easy to just get out of sight before the avril hits you beacuse you can move quickly.


I actually like flying in the battlefield series a whole bunch more because it's a lot more smooth and is just way more fun to fly for me. I understand that they have to do something different though because the aircraft in UT (and what looks like is in Huxley, though we haven't seen everything I'm sure) aren't regular planes, they are hover planes or something, and they have the ability to hover and take easy aim at a target. The downside to that is again that they have low armor, but again they can quickly get out of sight if they start to take fire.

There is no full proof vehicle or way to take down a vehicle but there is usually a decent chance for both sides.

But yeah I hope they make flying better in Huxley. The video I saw of the guy running into the building while trying to fly didn't really tell me much lol, just that he was bad at flying. For me I kind of have to try it out before I know if I like it or not. Hopefully they improve a bit on the UT feel of flying. Just for personal enjoyment :D
