Helicopter controls...

[The FogDog]

Make the helicopters easier to fly. Its like trying to fly a pendulum.
Shift=Up, Ctrl=Down, A=strafe left, D=strafe right, W=accelerate, S=decelerate, mouse left/right=yaw, mouse forward/back=pitch.
the controls need to be more tight and responsive too, can we please ignore dead zones and have more arcade style controls.
Remove roll and have a limit on pitch with a auto-center when speed builds up.

Couldn't agree more. The helicopter controls are extremely sluggish with no slider to make the controls more sensitive.

Yeah, I thought it was really strange that A and D didn't strafe.

W and S controlling the cyclic for lift makes perfect sense, but the mouse movement for pitch and yaw is WAY too slow. Plus the view being as limiting as it is can make some landings extremely difficult.

OP's suggestion makes it too arcade-y IMHO. It shouldn't be as easy as driving a car in an arcade. Just fix strafe and mouse sensitivity/responsiveness.

i already suggested they change the controls but nothing was said about it :(

or how about add arcade as an option to the existing ones?

IMO, the flying part of the helicopter shouldn't be the detractor once you've managed to acquire all the parts for it.
If people on the ground see a heli, they shouldn't have t worry whether the person in the heli even makes it to them, they should worry about the armament.
