This flying in this game is complete trash

[John 3:16]

I have tried for several hours now to beat this POS flying around in an airplane. John Seed can drink my seed. It's impossible to beat. The guy shoots behind himself, in front of himself and flies like he's in a fracking UFO. No matter what he is always in a line of sight shot behind me. Thank you for taking my $70 for this garbage Ubisoft.

The controls are bad. Not in a way that it makes it unplayable, its just too arcade. You can do a 180 in a plane almost on a dime, its pretty rediculous.

Don't treat it like you would if the flight physics were reasonable, treat it like an FPS. Just turn the plane to point at him, keep close and fire away. As someone else said, you can turn on a dime with zero risk of stalling, so don't over think it. Subtlety is not called for here!

Just send nick to kill him lol

lol yeah first troubles I had were inverted controls, which I changed. Then I kept getting shot down from behind for ages. I finally beat him by not using the look controls at all and just using the directional flying. I stayed behind him best I could and won. But yeah it took me 2 hours to beat him ugh. If there were good flying mechanics it would have been fun, but I just couldn't get the controls down. I didn't know you could take him from the ground or in a helo or I would have done either of those.. The on-screen prompt said to defeat him in a plane so I figured I had to.. Oh well. What a strange fight.

This was the easiest battle in the game. I took no damage and it turned into a point and click adventure game.

I also have been using a controller, I think I'll use mouse and keyboard as well from now on. I've been having a blast with everything else in the game but the plane flying. Helo's with weapons are ridiculously strong I don't have the skills most folks have but overall it's been a pretty easy game so far. I also have found it far more fun than Far Cry 3 and 4 in the setting, but Far Cry 3 is still my favorite overall I'd have to say. How about y'all?

Shouldn't this article read "aimbots suck"? I know how you feel. It seems like no matter what, NPCs with LOS will always have an advantage. Doesn't matter if they're in a plane, car, or whatever. If they can see you, they can hit you, while the vise-versa may not apply.

Asofar as plane controls, I haven't gotten that far. But helos are SAF and fun to fly imo. Might agree once I try a plane.

not everyone can git gud, true. enemy spotting in previous fc's were always braindead, im glad they finally made it more realistic.

I'd say it's the best one since 2. Hopefully they'll work on flying for the next one, or at least give us a "realistic vs arcade flight model" option, for those of us that appreciate such things.
