Navigating multiplayer with an aircraft can always be risky. The streamer AsheBF is regularly harassed by stream snipers in Battlefield 2042 and takes revenge in impressive fights against them in his helicopter.
Shortly:
What streamer is this? AsheBF regularly streams Battlefield 2042 on Twitch. In his Twitch info he writes: “Yeah, I like helicopters.” He also posts content about the shooter on his other social media platforms.
In a June 29 tweet, a clip of AsheBF was picked up by Jake Lucky describing how AsheBF “has been dealing with the craziest stream snipers for 10 months” (via Twitter). The tweet has over 16 million views.
Here you can see a trailer for the new season in Battlefield 2042:

What is the streamer struggling with? In the clip, AsheBF can be seen dodging numerous missiles and gunfire, multiple enemy aircraft and players seem to be targeting him at the same time.
In other clips AsheBF shares on Twitter, he can be seen getting killed immediately after boarding an aircraft – as if the enemy players were just waiting for the moment.
How does AsheBF deal with this? He takes on the stream snipers and gets revenge.
In impressive battles he flies over the map for minutes, dodging other helicopters and jets as well as missiles fired at his machine from ground vehicles. In doing so, he crashes several enemy vehicles. It seems as if he has set himself the task of dominating the airspace in the lobbies.
In one clip, seconds before he’s killed at spawn, he apparently says to his Twitch viewers, “I feel a little bit like my soul’s about to be ripped out of me, know what I mean?” (via Twitter) .
The fact that he manages to hold his own against the stream snipers for so long draws a lot of attention.
Can’t he just fight back? Some players advise him to block the stream snipers. However, this would only prevent them from texting him in-game. However, you can still join his lobby.
Here’s how the harassment culminated: In an interview with Jake Lucky, AsheBF reports that one of the stream snipers named himself after his former co-pilot. He took his own life (via YouTube).
The video shows AsheBF killing an enemy player. He notices the name and says, “No, no, no. They went too far with that.”
How is the community reacting? His battles with the aircraft, which can be seen in various clips as well as on his YouTube channel, impress viewers. Some of them praise the fact that he has to defend himself against many players at the same time and remains steadfast.
In a comment below the video, titled “Pro Pilot Makes The Entire Lobby MAD!”, FreakaZoide_77 writes, “Best pilot I’ve seen in a long time.” (via YouTube).
Others also praise his gameplay and wish him many more viewers and views. AsheBF’s video has been viewed over 13,000 times.
