It is not too difficult to control the attack helicopter. It is not too fast, but it is lightweight and maneuverable. Thanks to this, even a beginner can quickly learn how to fly it. Mouse sensitivity for vehicles should be a bit higher than for the infantry. Low mouse sensitivity makes it easier to aim, but there sometimes is a need to perform a quick maneuver, at which point it is better to have sensitivity set at a higher level. Each player needs to balance this for himself. It depends on your preferences and your mouse pad.

Keys W and S increase thrust. You use these keys to control the altitude. Keys A and D control yaw of the helicopter. Pushing the mouse away results in pitching the machine nose down, whereas pulling it, pitches the nose up. Moving the mouse to the sides rolls the machine to the left and to the right.

Remaining keys:

Camera change- C,

Free look (cockpit) - PPM,

Fire - LPM,

Weapon swap - F, 1, 2,

Countering system - X.

To fly forward, you need to pitch the vehicle forward. By the same token, if you want to go back, you pitch it back. You change direction with keys A and D. Rolling is not used that often. To learn how to fly the helicopter, it is best to access an empty server with the "Midtown" map and maneuver the helicopter around buildings.
