There is nothing like raining chaos from the sky in Battlefield 6 when you are sat in the Attack Helicopter. On big maps like Liberation Peak, you can feel the whole match bend around you once you get comfortable with the controls and maybe mix in a few Battlefield 6 Bot Lobby runs to warm up. Before you even think about taking off, you really need to sort your settings. Turning on Helicopter Control Assist sounds a bit “training wheels”, but it keeps the chopper level and stops those stupid accidental flips that ruin a good streak. I bump my sensitivity up to around 65%, so I am not dragging the stick across the pad just to line up a shot, and I switch audio to War Tapes so missile locks and distant gunfire cut through all the noise.



Attack Heli setup that actually works
People love to experiment with every gadget, but if you want results, keep the loadout simple. Heavy Rockets plus TOW missiles just carry harder than anything else. Light rockets shred infantry, sure, but you will feel useless when a tank shrugs off half your salvo and drives away. With Heavy Rockets, one clean pass can chunk armour and still punish grouped infantry. The TOW is where things get interesting. It is basically a scoped rifle strapped to your helicopter. The common mistake is staring at the crosshair and yanking the stick when the shot dips. Ignore it. Watch the little glowing missile itself. It drops right after launch, then you guide it back up, almost like you are dragging it along a wire into the target. It feels weird for the first few matches, then suddenly you are deleting enemy helis and AA from silly ranges and wondering how you ever used anything else.



Flying with a gunner vs going solo
Piloting alone is doable, but you are making life harder than it needs to be. With a decent gunner, the heli turns into a different vehicle. The new zoom-lock camera is brilliant because it lets your gunner stick on infantry or light vehicles even when your flying is a bit sketchy. You can focus on dodging stingers, popping flares and lining up angles, while they just hose down anything that moves. When you are the one flying, resist the urge to mash the rocket pods. Think about where that tank is going, not where it is sat right now. Fire a short burst on each pass, let the recoil settle, swing around and repeat. Spraying your full pod in one go usually just paints the dirt and tells every sniper on the server exactly where you are.



Positioning, mistakes and learning the hard way
Everyone wants those low, flashy fly-bys between buildings, and that is usually how most new pilots discover the respawn screen. Staying alive in the Attack Helicopter is more about boring discipline than wild clips. Use altitude when nobody is locking you, dive the moment you hear that lock warning and hug the terrain until it drops. Trees, hills and random structures are your best friends when half the enemy team has picked up launchers. You will crash. You will clip a tower you swear was not there a second ago. That is just part of figuring out how far you can push the nose before it bites back.



Skipping the grind and staying effective
The rough part is the early grind, when your heli is basically stock and everything feels weaker than it should. If you do not have hours to crawl through that phase, some players lean on services like Battlefield 6 Boosting at U4GM so the good upgrades are unlocked before they properly commit to flying, or they jump into a cheap Battlefield 6 Bot Lobby session to practice routes and angles without the full pressure of a sweaty lobby. Whatever route you take, once you have the right setup and a bit of muscle memory, the Attack Helicopter stops feeling fragile and starts feeling like the center of the map, as long as you respect lock-ons, pick your fights and never get lazy with your positioning.
