You will find someone to teach you.
The only thing you really have to "practice" is the helicopter and other vehicles (cause yes, I hate it when I get teamkilled by the driver on my way to point B cause the humvee explodes in a crash)
Isn't BF3 supposed to bring back jets? If so, that will require the most practice. But do that in an unpopulated server, because I already know that EVERYONE is going to want to fly a jet.
I haven't read about jets, but wasn't there one in the End of the last long trailer? I felt like that jet was just to fly over the map to show us, that jets are in bf3.

Ill create a thread closer to beta with the server/clan information. Like you guys said. If your a TL poster/lurker, add the TL tag and your set to go on the server. Easy enough.
If you have not used your Entitlements or Account for twenty four (24) months or more and your Account has associated Entitlements, your Entitlements will expire and your Account may be cancelled for non-use.

Jets are in Conquest they won't show up in rush and deathmatch according to dev interviews.

I know it's 2 fucking years of inactivity, but still, that's kind of freaky that they can do that.
It MAY be cancelled after 24 month. That does not necessarily mean it will be deleted. It's the same in WoW. They always said that your Character may be deleted if you didn't use it for two years but till now they have not done that yet.
It is my dream that jets in BF3 handle and fly somewhat similar to BF2, along with the cams associated with them and the other vehicles. It's probably asking a lot, but it would be nice to just hop in a jet and tear it up on day one, heh.

Anyone else have an awesome time with the helicopters in Desert Combat?
Haha I used to play that all the time... I was never a good with helicopters in that though... I'm hoping it will be more like DCS: Black Shark. Obivously, it won't be that realistic, if realistic at all. They got to make money. And that means appealing to Cod players. :/

I remember 3 to 5 waiting for a helicopter and then flying it backwards and exploding and then doing it again. DC Helicopters were whatever because no one was willing to go into an empty server and practice. Such gross handling

I miss them terribly . I could dog fight jets in the littlebird.DC was truly an epic game. Scuds, battleships, that giant plane I have forgotten the name of, and then it still played well on infantry maps/tank maps etc. BF2 was a bit of a let down after that. I am hoping BF3 is closer to DC than BF2. I know I don't have good chances .
Edit: I know what they need, vehicle licencing where you have to complete a series of tests through courses and against bots before you can get in the vehicle in game! Then people can't try and learn to fly and cause there team to lose .
@Demize99 @DJN00B Is there an advantage to equipping knife/nade? Like faster response? @afiggity @DJN00B Well you don't need to wait as long between attacks with the knife. For the grenade? Meh. Could do it, did it. Why not?
@Demize99 So I would think the knife auto-aim is gone? @GamerOfFreedom It's a completely different system, you can't compare the two at all.

Speaking from BF2 experience, Mouse+KB was the most superior method of piloting choppers. As for jets, Mouse+KB was more than enough to do well in pubs. However, if you put equal skilled pilots against one another, the one with a joystick and the other with Mouse+KB, the joystick pilot has the edge, but definitely not a big one. Personally, I used Mouse+KB for choppers and joystick for jets.
@Demize99 Will the game punish players for sitting in base waiting for the next airplane? @LoLAdriankat No more than sitting in the middle of no where being bored. Kinda punishment enough.
You guys know what this means?
Get your sniper rifles ready. We're going noob hunting.

I think it's best to sneak up behind them and plant C4 on their heads. There is no better time to then run off making wookie sounds into your mic.
