OMG Its impossible if you (didnt hop in jets from hour 1 after release) to get ANY points. Everyone has missles now! u go up without flares and you last 15 seconds tops. Took me nearly 6 hours to unlock anything . . .
@durendal Flares are unlocked at 300 xp now so after 1 jet kill you should have 150 points (100 for disable 50 for kill) as long as you find a server without many players or just bad ones without missiles you should be able to get them relatively fast, Helicopters are also easy prey.
Not sure about the Beta, but using a strafing run tactic on tanks using the jet's machine guns can net you several vehicle disables, with a second strafing run to completely destroy.
@Elitexf7 Yes I heard in the full release that the cannon was buffed so it can actually effect tanks, in the Beta it was near useless, a strafing run with the full burst on a tank would only take off about 5% health.
hey, good video! I never realized the game slowed you near the map edge.
By the way, defensively, pulling a tighter turn is the best way to get a pursuing enemy to overshoot, so 'circle battles' are not unnatural.
That said, if you're attempting to get a good firing solution, instead of pulling horizontal circles, try increasing your vertical pitch while in the turn. It'll slow you momentarily, but it'll reduce your horizontal turn radius before you nose down and pull in behind your target.
wait i can slow down. no one f'n told me i could slow down...

@Elitexf7 You can get a tank kill with one strafing run in the jet. You just have to be pretty accurate.
