Can I use test flight commands in live Arcade or Realistic battles?

Guide Q&A

No. Console commands such as test flight, invulnerability and mission editor spawns need host or admin rights, which you only have in an Arcade test battle you host or a custom battle where the host granted you access. They do not work in live Arcade, Realistic or Simulator matchmaking.

Use an Arcade test battle or custom battle to practice gunnery and lead before you queue. The guide also explains the difference between those built-in test flight commands and third-party cheat tools on live battles.

Guide answer

Correct: host the custom battle, enable mission editor tools, then open the test flight / custom battle console from the keybind you set.

Guide answer

The guide lists test flight, invulnerability and time controls for testing. Turn invulnerability off before you test real damage numbers.

Guide answer

Useful distinction. Admin commands are a server feature, not a cheat product.
