Planetside 2 || ESF Tutorial || How to transition between forward flight and hover mode

TURN SUBTITLES ON

This tutorial should help you get into hover mode quickly when running into other aircraft. After that, you'll be in a hover fight, and you can apply what you learned in Hover Fighting Basics or other similar tutorials. It also covers how to get back in forward flight, which is very simple, which you can do to look for your next target after winning or even for trying to run away if you're losing.

One transition not covered is the "reverse maneuver", which you can use to get in hover when an ESF is behind you, since that would be worth of its own video. You should be able to find plenty of other tutorials about it though.

Thanks to Savagery for voicing it and to Stax for helping with the clips. And to Colin for posing for the thumbnail I guess...
