SQUAD HELICOPTER GUIDE | Part 2: ADVANCED | Flying, J-hook Landing, Rooftop Landings, Theory, Gunner

Welcome to PART 2 of a multipart series going over Helicopters in Squad! In this video I will show advanced low altitude flying techniques, evasive maneuvers, J-hook and rooftop landings, go over how to best use your heli in a game, and talk a bit about what you need to know as a pilot, to help your door gunners do their job.

If you're looking for a more basic overview of flying in Squad, check out the Heli Guide Part 1!

Best advice i have for pilots is that like drivers, you always have the right of way. When a squad lead marks on the map where he want his squad to be dropped off. Take his LZ as advice instead of an order. If the marked LZ is hot don't be afraid to fly away to look for a different LZ. Should it be further away from the originally marked LZ then the passengers are just going to have to get out and beat their feat to where they wanted to go. I had seen too many choppers get shot down just because a hot headed SL demanded to get immediately closer to the fight and the pilot didn't use his better judgement.

A short brief from these video series could be added to SQUAD to help in training.

The best tip I can give to any new players is too practice your landing, EVERYTHING will come with experience but landing is something you have to practice, I promise you if you suck at call outs, bad at evasions, and have poor map knowledge, but you can put a squad anywhere on the map you’ll be better than the average pilot

[xzovy]

I cannot thank you enough. Kept trying my J-Hook to no avail, then landed my first one, and have gotten it down since. It may be sloppy, but hey practice makes perfect ;)

[RezEcho]

Just started learning to pilot yesterday and that J-Hook is really gonna help nail those landings, thanks man!

[NoOdLz]

I recommend keybinding load/unload supplies so you can unload in a hover more easily if you have to. I set my unloading build to 1 and unload ammo to 2 above my Q key. Made my time flying in squad way easier. Also, since the flight mechanics are a bit weird in Squad, you have more control when you use more collective, so highly aggressive 180 degree J turns might have to involve going between 0% and slamming 100% collective during the turn. The big trick is to not change your altitude throughout the turn itself.

Bro this only has 35k views?! this is top tier content man, don't worry about releasing anything BUT what you love, the passion comes through very well in your work, stay true to what YOU want and you'll never have any problems with success. Good luck man!

Perfect advanced guide, the only thing it misses is bloopers at the end to make me feel less bad about my flying

[davchan]

I just flew a heli earlier, since nobody wanted to, and I flew it like a plane 😅

Thanks for this, really needed it haha

[exhit]

3 years later and still helped, always thought you turn the collective down to 0% halfway in the jhook until now, helped a lot man

[Sarocco]

I've started piloting and I'm already doing j hooks and stuff, but these are really useful tips anyway. I agree that you can practice safe to a point, but then you need to push your boundaries all the time to improve. When I got out of training and started flying live I didn't exactly fly on my frequently played servers to not piss people off if I crashed.

[jerikotruth]

Hey it’s angel scopes you probably don’t remember me but thank you for helping me mid game your videos really helped me with my flying skills and I improved a lot. Your videos are very informative. Keep up the good work.

[ISAIAH.R]

This is the only guide anyone will need when learning to fly in squad.

[xTwinBladEx]

This channel is going to blow up in the future, i just know it

[wolfhunter]

That landing sound effect. That crunch. o.o
Just a gentle touch down *CRASH* (It's all over the vid but 8:24 for example.)

[varyaglowell]

Although I am a resident of Russia, I really liked how you explain all the subtleties of this game on a helicopter. Thank.

[vincentdn]

This is a great video, thanks for the advice! Can't wait to hop back into Squad after work and start practicing. Helo one inbound!

[corvus]

I haven't played for almost 3 years. So much new stuff to learn! Thank you for a such good explanation, this is the video I've been looking for! :D

[Nothingbutlead]

Great tips man. I am a new pilot and these were very useful!

[stanleymunro]

Thank you. Now lets just get more helo gameplay
