Helicopters in Crossout are here to Stay

you dont need tail rotor when you have double rotor on top, its exacly why there are double rotors on top, to prevent spining

W adds thrust and S lowers thrust. (You move up and down relative to the helicopters direction.) So aiming down makes you fly forward and down. If you want to aim down without moving, hold space to stabilise.

The controls are relatively intuitive on PS5, I flew a lot in battlefield. It isn't near that level but maybe once I get a better build with better rotars

Strafing left or right is a good strategy for outrunning the missiles if you're not going to use any defensive modules or a cloak. I remember when they had this mode before I even got to the point where sometimes I could flick the stick at the last moment & do a flip right over an incoming missile. It didn't work a lot but sometimes it was very satisfying to duck a volley. Adding more armor to the bottom also helps with this since you'll be more bottom heavy & you'll need more under carriage protection than in a regular fight. I liked using mechanical legs, as well. They have a lot of durability & will grab the edge when you're landing on a perch. They're heavy & will pull your center of mass down to help right you when you stop. Pointing your nose down while you're hitting the descending button will make you dive. Sometimes you'll also need to adjust weapon placement since enemies are above or below you. Practice with chopper placement, as well. Putting it in the rear will make you front heavy & tip you forward & nose down so your top weapons have a better shooting angle. You can leave the area for a few moments before you blow up out of bounds so it's good idea to find the limits of the ceiling & walls. Also, try to find where the cover is on the various maps. You can use buildings & other tall map assets to duck behind. Worry about getting a build that works before you worry about aesthetics. It doesn't have to look like a real flying machine. Mine always looked more like a bug with the legs hanging down. Don't just give up when you're out of ammo. You can do a lot of damage just by hitting someone's blades with your blades, which can make both builds stall & fall. If you do it right, you can knock someone out of bounds & they won't have time to restart their engine before they blow. Another reason to have wheels or legs, since you can get out on an area where it's impossible to take off or hide under cover & peek.

omg they are BACK !!!!! HELIS ARE BACK!!!!! DRONES ARE BACK!!!!!! YEEEEEEEEEES

Before they introduced hovers they had a big enough player base to have hovers in their own battle mode, ahh but too late now GG devs barley enough players to keep the PS difference fair. its more of "Hey PLAYERS more new stuff !! just ignore all the other things that need to be fixed."

Mr. G, the game physics matches real world physics at least in terms of how rotors work: pitch and yaw. The better you are with physics, the better you will be at this game

Would like to see the devs give some free build slots now that they want us to have these different game modes (choppers, confrontation, Levi builds, and the normal builds).

This is my first helicopter encounter at the game. I haven't even updated yet BUT I'm thinking into farming fuel since I see that here is ground builds and objectives are up. All I have to do I build some anti missiles from above and good nice weapons wo kill the bots because real players are flying and I don't think the would touch the ground. and and and.... oh my some many possibilities.

The wasteland become Vietnam

Helicopters: are here to stay in crossout Me: WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

GET TO DA CHOPPAAAA!!!!!. I can't wait, this is going to be epic

When your helicopter blades hit something, they automatically turn on, so you don’t need to press F.

I just learned that heli's exist in crossout. I'm coming back to this game for sure. Been making makeshift aircraft for years with thrusters and junk. This looks... real fun

I kinda prefer the old rofl copters! Even the weird captive annihilator copter

Very nice, I am much excite! Here's hoping when I log on later I can play against bots for some nice Co-op for PVE. Always nice to have fun while not making someone else's day a little less fun in the process

At the beginning talk about getting stuff between a rock and a hard place XD

They should add this to Crossout mobile but they probably lock it as a blueprint behind a premium battlepass :(

Get to the Choppa! Noooow!

Now that helis a thing u dont see hovers ever 😂😂
