Well, it may be unethical, but I could suggest farming jet points on Gulf of Oman 64 player with the F-35 with a partner on the other team by hovering over flags and trade flag capture points.

Those videos are good. Now I know to not hit W when I am slowing down to turn. I was doing that a ton.
I also didn't know it shows your speed. That is cool you can dodge javs and stingers that way.
I played another server and unlocked chaff and seeker missiles again. Yay!
I got enough points by shooting down a helicopter.

yeah just fly and try. it took like 50-100 exploding jets (mostly with me in them) till i actually did well with jets. now i have 5 service stars on them.

and dont spend too much time trying to get the dodging right, seems like that will get changed in the big patch.

Glad you liked video, but really best way is to just to fly and crash many many times as mannerdupanner said. he also has a point about the dodging stuff, it is getting changed completely so I need to come up with another method after the patch. honestly dodging is kind of hilariously OP, it got to point where I'd just strafe people who launched stingers at me "to punish them" or I'd just fly around where I was getting locked on and dodge everything. I mean even in that video example i made I'm flying over their base for ~1 minute. That doesn't make sense to me, I should be punished for flying in an area for that long when that area should be naturally risky.

I mean its fun for me but its aggravating for the other person so I can see why they'd change it

I am ready for the patch. It seems like so long ago when they released all the info about it. We might as well start learning how to play the game again.

There are delays with the announcement of the patch, however it was leaked before that March 27th is the patch date. Then we hear only ps3 is ready with a confirmed patch date. Also, PC gets new commo-rose and 3 minimap modes.

That's definintely so needed. Every time we play I will rage about the minimap being a piece of shit and so inaccurate it's useless as well as netcode and eventual idiots with explosives etc.

Hehe, I will make sure to post once I hear a date for pc/360. They are working on making sure the PC patch is 100% ready and fixing some errors with the 360 patch.
