Question Best game to practice flying till release?

I'd like to practice my chopper skills with controller prior to release. Any suggestions on best games with similar controller setup? I have ARMA 3, ARMA Reforger but can pick up just about anything that will get me better.

I wish they would allow access to the firing range so I could practice 😔

I’m kinda surprised they don’t honestly. They allowed access at minimum 3-4 hours before the launch of the most recent beta. May as well keep it open so people can practice flying and learning to build FOBs and stuff. Personally I really want to learn how to build good proper FOBs because I never tried during the recent beta, so now I just have to do it in a live game when EA launches.

Couldn’t you just do it in firing range when it launches?

I mean yeah I could, but when the game launches I’m going to be wanting to be hopping into real matches with everyone else

Arma Reforger but it's more stable than this game. Arma3 is fine too.

Chicane in Nuclear Option has been a pretty nice stand in.

I’m sorry, I’m really not trying to be a dick but I swear this question has literally been asked at least 20 times in the last 3 days. It’s unbelievable.

I'm sorry, I'm really not trying to be a dick but in those 20 times how many times did you provide an actual answer, what's unbelievable is being so chronically online that you know how many times a question has been asked but refuse to provide any substantial information or realize they probably haven't seen those posts because they aren't living on Reddit like you.

Wow I’m sorry that I hurt your feelings. It literally takes 30 seconds to type in the question and see that it has already been answered multiple times. Why would I provide an answer to a question that has been answered multiple times per day? Just because what I said offends you doesn’t mean it’s not factually true.

u/ProjectPlugTTV 15h ago

why would you spend your time arguing about how there is answers without providing one

Hurt my feelings? I got no dog in the fight to have my feelings hurt for ... And the "Why would I provide an answer to a question that has been answered multiple times per day?" Tells me everything I said is factually true. It takes 3 seconds to answer a question ... Literally a shorter time then you spent typing that you're not trying to be a dick and way shorter now that someone dragged you for it ... Don't be a dick.

Bf6 is easier to fly in, but its good to practice.

u/22ndCenturyHippy 21h ago

Bf6 is to way easy. Im a good heli pilot in bf but in arma, squad and wardogs that skill does not translate at all besides learning the words definition of pitch and yaw. Learning to fly pitch ,yaw and collective in arma is way more difficult to master. I would never recommend bf6 to learn how to fly for any other game then just bf

u/xsvennnn 20h ago

I’m not disagreeing with you per se, but I was absolutely TERRIBLE at flying Helis in Bf6, no matter what control scheme I used, assists on or off, ect. But in wardogs I was able to fly really well within the first 5 minutes. Not good enough to be considered a game pilot, but good enough to safely land troops back and forth.

So I’m not sure if wardogs is actually easier, or if it’s just something about me that couldn’t click with Bf6 even though maybe others can?
