they can be pretty helpful
i'm kind of biased since i fly a lot but i'm not gonna be like one of those idiot snipers that insist that they help by "locking down a point so nobody can cap it".

I myself roll rockets/radar/flares and strafe stuff. Usually vehicles and flags that are under attack/being attacked. Even though the rockets don't do much damage to infanty, making their surroundings explode can suppress them (it doesn't apply the "suppressed" effect, but it sends them running for cover), and if I catch some guys camping at the top of a 20 story building (like on karkand), there's nowhere for them to run. I only go after other jets if I'm being attacked by one or I can't see any ground targets.

I should probably go after helicopters more but the jet's cannon is so ineffective against them that I can't really do much. Due to the fact that the helicopter is usually moving, I'm moving really fast, and I have to fly directly at the helicopter to shoot it, there's a really small window of opportunity to actually land hits on them. And the hits I do land don't do much damage. I guess it's fair though, jets would brutally forget helicopters in the beta, and choppers have enough problems to deal with from ground units already.

tl;dr, ground attack pilots are bros, anti-air pilots are selfish

I fly a bit too much (5 jet service stars), but I know that the fighter jets are stuff at engaging ground vehicles due to the weak cannon. Rocket Pods can be effective, Guided Missiles are weak, but the missiles offer pilots the chance to double as aerial recon. Fighter jets would become a real threat if more Recons designated targets for the guys with Guided Missiles equipped.

Downloading this game now on origin. Should've got it awhile ago but my computer couldn't run it back well back then and I didn't want to play on Xbox

I just love the epic moments you get in this game. Shooting grenades at a tank while the grenades kill two engineers and the building I am in wall is tearing down. I love this game.

Sweet Jesus, that 870 accuracy.

When it comes to shotguns, I never shoot unless I'm sure I'll get a hit. I'm not going to waste any ammo.

I'm to afraid to post my stats since I suck at the game lol

Rush on the other hand.
Yesterday I discovered the magic of the Frogfoot/A10 and it's tank-orphan making abilities.

If I am in the MBT's CITV station, and any of my friends is playing with the javelin your entire team is brutally forgeted for the rest of the lobby.

The guns on it would be better if they didn't have a painfully slow traverse speed.

such is life in the future where there are no ball bearing joints.

Sweet Jesus, that 870 accuracy.

at one point i had 113% on my m320 accuracy. actually possible percentages are for the weak.

Dear DICE:
Never force us to play a gamemode that isn't conquest or rush in order to unlock anything ever again. Squad Deathmatch is one of the worst ideas you have ever had, surpassed only by Team Deathmatch.

THIS TO THE MAX. Holy tits, unlocking the L85A2 was hands-down the most painful thing this game put me through.

What the forget is this stuff?  Did the machine guns on jet fighters get buffed or some forget?  I've gotten shot down over ten times by forgeters with simple loving machine guns.  I do every single loving turn and roll but I always get shot down by some smug faced scrotum-licker with a loving machine gun.  That stuff used to be almost useless.  Why the forget is it suddenly twenty times better than heat seekers?

It hasn't changed at all. What are you flying?
Also lol they were never useless, they're the best anti-jet weapon.
