    Suggestions to vastly improve planes as a playstyle

    Planes:
    • Planes should automatically (and maybe only temporarily) tag all allies and enemies it passes over. This would allow strafing runs to be done, as currently it's impossible to hit anything even with missiles because of how impossible it is to see anyone below, especially in outposts and forests.
    • All ammunition should regenerate in planes, but not helicopters, as helicopters are far easier and more powerful, hopefully that would tip balance toward planes and allow for reasonable use of bombs and missiles.
    • Weak automatic targeting for machine guns, to enable strafing to be done whilst allowing the player to focus on piloting the plane, rather than having to tunnel-vision the cultist ants and thus crash into a pylon.
    • Make the fuselage and general health of the plane tougher, while allowing wings to be destroyed by LMGs etc. to give ways for NPCs/players ways to down an aircraft without immediately killing the pilot. Only explosives should be able to destroy the plane and pilot. Being whittled down by assault rifles isn't fun, but dodging rockets and other aircraft is.
    • Separate, or at LEAST add the option to separate, yaw and roll axes. Right now, it's impossible to pull quick U-Turn or any kind of stunt (Even in Crash Nixon) because of how poorly the planes control, and it's not because of manoeuvrability - it's because of the controls.
    • Allow an option to disable the auto-stabilising of the plane. If you wish to fly knife edge, or pull a fancy stunt between two towers or trees, it's pretty much necessary to give the player that control, rather than assuming they want to be flat.


    What would also be useful is, with the separation of yaw and roll, put yawing onto Q and E, then instead of using E to exit the plane, you press E when stationary, or use another key to eject when moving.

    use boomer on the ground as your spotter. There's already a control setting for what you ask.

    Spotting

    I agree because I am still in the beginning stages of the game and have found the plane leaves a lot to be desired on the controls. For me it is harder to fly because I don’t have the control I am use to.
    Next is the colorblind assist. It helps a little but could vastly be improved!!!! Yes I am color deficient (darker colors blend. Also red and yellow I have issues with).

    Get a controller, it does switch the yaw and roll from the analog to roll with the bumpers. analog becomes yaw. I've seen other posts about key board controls. Use a controller just to fly if need be. If no controller, switch the mouse buttons to yaw and roll.

    Heli und Flugzeuge

    Hallo

    Wäre schön wenn man bei Flugzeugen, Helis, und anderen Fahrzeugen eine Aussenansicht hätte.
    Dies würde einiges an steuerung erleichtern, vorallem bei verfolgungen
