High-velocity dogfights fall apart when your fingers trip over complex default configurations. The stock PC keybinds map hover and thrust mechanics uncomfortably close to weapon selectors, creating unnecessary friction during tight maneuvers.
To establish an ergonomic combat setup, remap your controls inside the options menu:
Move your Flight Stabilization Toggle to Left Shift or Mouse Button 4. In default flight mode, the armor carries immense momentum, drifting wide on turns. Engaging flight stabilization instantly counteracts inertia, snapping your suit into a steady hover. This hover state expands your effective lock-on angle by nearly 40 percent.
Assign Target Lock-On Toggle directly to Mouse Button 5 or F instead of forcing a hold input. Toggling allows your right hand to focus entirely on smooth tracking rather than maintaining muscular pressure on a physical button. If you play on controller, swap target lock from the right stick click to Left Bumper (LB/L1) to preserve fluid camera movement while tracking fast-moving aerial targets.
