    If you are done being a flying donation box and actually want to bully the sky, you have to start with rockets, not fancy tricks, and learning that is way more important than hunting for some easy Battlefield 6 Bot Lobby exploit. Think of rocket pods as your area control tool, not a panic button. At mid range, around four to eight hundred metres, the rockets tend to line up pretty much with your main crosshair, so that is your sweet spot. The thing that throws most people is momentum. When you shove the nose down hard, the rockets climb more than you expect. Keep the chopper fairly level when you fire and you will see the spread tighten up. Do not mash the trigger. Pick a line, lead the target, fire a short burst, then break away instead of hanging around asking to get locked.

    Rocket Pods And Target Leading
    Once you stop spraying at everything that moves, the game changes fast. Picture a heli drifting up over a ridge. You want to fire slightly above where it is, because it is already climbing. Same deal with infantry. If they are sprinting across open ground, put your rockets a body length or two ahead of them, not right on top. You will miss a lot at first, that is normal. Over time you will start to feel how far to lead without really thinking about numbers. One clean volley per pass is usually better than emptying the pods up close and then needing to reload while an AA truck lines you up. Treat every run as a quick strike: approach, line up, fire, then get out before they can react.

    TOW Missiles And Precision Control
    TOW missiles are your long range scalpel. They hit like a truck, they delete other helis, and they absolutely shred armour, but only if you ignore the default crosshair and stare at the glowing tail of the missile instead. The missile drops as it leaves the pod, so it is often easier to start low and guide it up into the target rather than trying to nose dive onto them. Keep your inputs small and steady. If you yank the mouse or thumbstick, the missile will swing off line and you will feel stupid watching it drift past a stationary tank. A good habit is to keep the heli more or less level while guiding, adjust with tiny taps, and let the missile climb gently into the target. Once you nail that feeling, those one kilometre kills on AA vehicles stop being rare highlights and start being part of your normal game.

    Gunner Seat And Solo Tricks
    Running the gunner seat is almost like playing a different game. With zoom lock on, your view sticks to the target even if the pilot jitters a bit, which makes leading shots way easier. The rounds are still projectiles though, not lasers, so you need to give moving targets a little space in front. Short bursts beat long sprays every time, because overheating loses you chances. Against infantry, two or three clean hits usually drop them, so tap, check, tap again. If you are solo, you can float high, swap to the gunner seat for a few bursts, then hop back to flying before your heli drifts into a bad angle. With a good duo, it gets silly: the pilot focuses on line, speed, and cover, while the gunner just farms anything that shows a head.

    Staying Alive And Managing Energy
    All that damage does not matter if you die in the first thirty seconds trying to farm some easy Battlefield 6 bot farming style targets and forgetting about real players. Flying is really about energy and timing. Nose down gives you speed but burns altitude fast; nose up slows you and makes you an easy mark if you do it in the open. People love to hover over objectives because it feels powerful, but it just turns you into a glowing pinata. Wait to pop flares until you hear the actual missile incoming, not just the lock tone, and use terrain like it is your shield. Dip behind buildings, swing wide around hills, come in from the side or behind armour, unload your rockets and TOW, then bail out of the line of fire. If you keep moving, vary your approach angles, and stay at ranges where your rockets and missiles still feel comfortable, you will start to feel almost untouchable.
