They really need easier to use controls in my opinion. I know that there are people who are awesome pilots, but still.
The controls for Dropships are some the most awkward and unintuitive flight controls I have ever used in a video game.
The right analog stick makes zero ******* sense, Left and Right Control the Dropship, but up and down move the camera only, Who the **** thought that was a good idea? Shooting with an ADS in first person in a joke, let alone just trying to fly in first person.
"But they actually take skill!" Some of you will say, and I can agree on that, but it's a goddamn video game. I shouldn't have to invest hours upon hours just trying to figure out how the damn things work in the slightest. It didn't take me hours to figure out how to shoot an HMG, or to drive an LAV, or throw a grenade. The awesome pilots will always be awesome, but changing the controls will allow more people to actually give them a whirl. Giving the Dropships easier controls won't make ****** players Gods and it won't make the Godly players ******. ****** players will always be fodder for those with skill.
I think if they had more "helicopter-like" controls they'd be better. Have the normal Dropships function similar to a Transport Heli from Battlefield, and have the ADS function similar to an Attack Heli.

In my first few minutes with a python, I learned how to fly it, its easy. People who have a hard time never played bf3
I played a ****-ton of BF3, Attack Heli's definitely have a lower bar of entry than ADSs, but that didn't mean anyone could easily pull off the things that more skillful players could. Maybe you just "get them" better than me, or maybe you're just exaggerating. And don't get me wrong, I can "fly" a Python, I just can't ******* hit anything or stay on a target. They just have a terrible control scheme, my main example being the goddamn right analog stick, I said it before and I'll say it again, but it doesn't make any damn sense as to why up and down only change the camera but left and right actually move the ship.
