How to Fly Jets Effectively in Battlefield

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Start off by 'binding' keys

   This means you can easily look behind you, know when your being followed and engaged, and switch back to cockpit view to evade the enemy and avoid going face first into the dust.
   
   If you have a gaming keyboard, you should have extra keys for this, if not, use keys that are not used in the game, but are still readily available.

   Step 2: you will need a key to switch your view to behind

   Bear in mind, that if you take a few hits and have to bail out, your going to be facing the ground troops, so you will need a weapon that packs a punch, i suggest either medic or assault, that way you have medic packs or a nice rifle to help you escape , Depending on the map, team and role you want to be playing (more on this in the tips section) , With this you can also co-ordinate the ground pounders with your efforts, and if you have to ditch, have some backup when you para down ,,, Everybody has their own evasive maneuvers, basically you twist, turn dive and climb very quickly.
   
   Use the afterburners to make your loops, dives and turns faster and tighter..If you have the skill, fly very dangerous paths, going under bridges, between trees, flying close to the ground, this makes his missiles less likely to kill you because there are more obstacles in their way, and the enemy pilot may make a mistake and fly into a wall or something. , Use your bombing mode, get in close, this way there is less distance the missiles must travel, then when your ready switch to missiles, his lock on tone will sound, spot him with your common rose, when you have lock wait for him to deploy flares, and engage, 2 missiles at a time, if he evades you, follow, he will be on your map so you can find him ,, With practice, you can aim a damaged jet into a tank or the like ,
