Umm can we have the Afterburner Function like in BF2 on the Jets ? I liked BF2 better that way...yeah we had full throttle but we also had an afterburner button that had nothing to do with the throttle....

Maps are too small, the jets do 1/3 of RL speed as it is.

yes but having that button during Manuvers allows you to do alot more while turning the jet particularly in a Dog Fight...doesn't matter that they are slower...

In a jet i could easily get 10,000+ points now it's usually 5-6k

All said and done at the end of the day you're supposed to be scared when a jet or attach chopper is flying overhead, i think most gamers accept that. I saw more bitching about people not getting jets themselves than people complaining about being killed from them.

I repeatedly saw people begging the 10000+, 35/1 pilots to stop using planes. If there were a votekick option in game, they would most probably be kicked.
Planes with skilled pilots are practically the same now as cheaters with a god mode. You have to realize that jet's weapons simply cannot have massive splash damage now that they are invulnerable to AA.

I think they are gonna buff the bomb damage A BIT once MANPADS, mobile AAs, tweaked stationary AAs are introduced.

I've never seen that in game.

AA is alot harder to dodge now. Like Hate said it'll continue to be tweeked, i just wanted to get a thread going about how people felt about the current setup

then you should cut them, this isn't about making some people into all powerful gods flying planes, it's about fun for all

I'm having greater problems where my missiles lock on and hit but only do 1 point of damage.

yea me too i dont understand that, like i followed a jet and shot the missles to shoot it, now i understand a jet can manuver and avoid them but then randomly i get just +2 (not repeatedly) i was like WTF only 2 damage from missles :/

The machine guns on the jets are useless you can't even blow a car up with them,
You'll have more chance on shooting someone out of a car then destroying it.

Has to go back to how it was

The jet bombs seem to do almost no damage to armour too, I've repeatedly had just "+2" from a bombing run recently.

Thats because you dont get damage points for bombing vehicles you only get points for the kill so you mustve done 2 damage to a random infantry somewhere.
