Please bring back Classic Helicopter Control | Forums

I would love to have the original controls back. So many people complained, but if you just bothered to learn how to use it it was far superior. I even made a couple tutorial videos.

Speaking of videos I made, this one makes me miss Wildlands. It was a better game than Breakpoint, which is kind of sad.

Hi Mars388502,

Today I bough and tried the Obersee MK II helicopter. It still locks the missiles on vehicles but it won't lock when the murmur drone are at medium, close range.
It get a little time to learn how to compensate for pendulum motion when hoovering a target.

Thank you again.

Best regards

Yes please.

Changing the look setting for the Y axis resulting in also inverting forwards and backwards controls results in the worst helo controls for any game I’ve ever played.

Then when I hop in my drone the forwards backwards flight controls are totally opposite from the forwards backwards controls on the helo. As you can imagine the lack of uniformity causes all sorts of missteps when going from helicopters to drones. It’s unnecessarily confusing and rage enduring.

Which brings up another point. Why in the mother living hell is there not a setting to invert Y axis “look” for drones on Xbox One? The setting is there in Wildlands!!!

As with so many other aspects of the game the Wildlands team nailed it. Why must Breakpoint Devs go out of their way to break things?

You can customize ALL crontrols in SETTINGS, i personally wouldnt to do that. It be easier with 1 switch flip. Has anyone challenged themselves to make a Flying Control Loadout? See if theoption is already available?

Customizing the controls won't help. It's not about which buttons you press, it's a totally different flight mechanic.

ussless >_< serious in clasic wildland control you have yaw & pitch command but not roll helicopter without roll is just joke >_< imposible to orbiting on base and delevery cover fire or imposible make fast evasive manevring for escape missile = totaly uslessfull

This just shows you don't/didn't know how to use the classic controls properly.

Chopper controls are brutal... I don't need a flight sim but something that worked reasonably well would be nice.

I’d have to agree the wildlands controls were much better but I’d settle for the option to invert the camera y axis control on helicopters and drones without effecting the pitch

This! I’ve never played a game where inverting the Y axis for look also effects forwards and backwards for flight controls! This is the dumbest most unintuitive flight model I’ve experienced in years.

Also WTF is the issue with not giving players the option to invert Y look axis for drones? I mean it’s there for Wildlands! There is no option on Xbox One to invert Y axis look for drones.

The Breakpoint team went out of their way to break many solid game mechanics from Wildlands. Did the Devs even play Wildlands?

Don't get to close to the murmurs, take a certain distance otherwise the missiles will not lock on or switch target. With a bit of practise you'll get the right distance. Otherwise, I'm sincerely happy for you mate

they need to fix these horrible contols, when flying with helis while moving my mouse it feels like the sensibility is set to 100000 and not 100 its so hard to aim and shoot, 95 out of 100 shots i miss the targer is so stupid
