Yeah, it's hard in the beginning until you unlock heat seekers.KuSTaV wrote:
I feel that the only way people who arent level 40+ to excel in the game is to join a server with no vehicles... those vehicle perks can be quite imbalanced if its a low-rank jet vs high rank AA/heli/jet. I was playing on Kharg I think it was, and it was pretty much impossible for me to survive 20+ seconds in a jet, and would inevitably end up aiming the jet at a tank on the ground just to make it not a waste.
It was even harder before they made IR flares a default equipment.
I remember that I got the first 400 points in jets by flying low over flags to get a few capture assist points, then crashing into enemies to hope for a road kill.
Until I got the heat seekers at 800 points, I think I only made a single kill with the gun.
If you have Armored Kill, everything is so much easier with the huge, slow AC-130 gunship.
Two strafes with heat seekers and gun salvos can take it down and the crew is too uncoordinated to use their two flares properly most of the time.
