    Remove planes entirely from the game

    They add absolutely nothing other than frustration and they don't do anything the helis don't already, gameplay-wise. I have never seen controls this bad for anything, much less flight.

    I just spent an hour clearing a huge unidad base, perfectly, no alerts, no patrols coming through, took out every single SAM launcher. I did all this just to steal a plane without getting auto-killed by the endless missiles that cover every portion of the map after the first area. The problem isn't even the missiles though, because I can dodge those in the heli, even with the horrible controls. The problem is that the plane controls seem to have 2 settings. Fly straight really slowly, or spiral dive bomb straight into the ground. All the planes in Battlefield, the planes in H.A.W.X., all of them, I have no issues flying. These planes? I think I've managed to land a plane safely 3 times out of probably 20 attempts. So that hour I spent clearing that base? Burned, along with the plane, about 300m from the base I stole it from, because I tried to dodge missiles coming from god-knows-where only for the plane to decide that "rotate to the right and pull back to turn hard right" actually means: turn completely over, then turn completely over the other way while trying to correct, then slam into the ground.

    Fix your controls or get rid of planes. This is pathetic.

    I find the driving of road vehicle's worse than flying airplanes.

    As someone who enjoys flight models from GTA, to Battlefield, ARMA and flight simulators, this game has the worst I have ever used. The likes of Battlefield 1944 did better then this game.
    It is honestly a pathetic standard for 2017, the effort put into it is just not up to any standard it seems.
    But somehow people defend the controls, probably because they finally have something simple so they dont have to put any effort into learning and getting good at something.
    I agree, fix it or get rid of it. When I played the closed beta and realised the planes didnt even have yaw I knew that this dev team really has no clue at all. Very pathetic indeed

    Are you playing on PC or what? flying by mouse /keyboard works fine for planes and chopper but when i tried a gamepad controller for the plane it was much more difficult

    I actually find the flying controls pretty good.

    Planes work exactly as you would expect. Pull back/push forward to pull/push the nose up. Left/right to roll left/right. Make a turn by rolling over, then pull back on stick. Pushing forward while turning won't work, or pushing forward to make the plane dive won't work well either, exactly like that won't work in a real plane (negative Gs are to be avoided when flying a plane). Roll and pull.

    Helicopter controls in this game are weird, but plane controls certainly aren't.

    I really don't understand some people's line of thought: "I suck at flying, so planes should be removed for everyone!" Seriously WTF dude. If you suck at flying just don't use them.

    There is no precision at all with the planes controls. How you people can sit here and defend them is beyond me. "You just suck". You can get bent, because I play games with far more complex flight controls and do fine with it. These are just hypersensitive clunky garbage. The fact that it's probably the number one complaint about this game means that it's not just a bunch of people sucking it up. They are legitimately bad controls.
