I don't have the patch yet but from what I read the new patch totally ruins dogfights. That said, why not have the infantry supporting the Aircraft AND vice-versa? Have a sniper team (2 snipers and maybe a medic or support) and once an enemy AA emplacement is spotted, go neutralize it. Then the guys up in the air won't have to worry about the AA. The pilots could then provide the good ol's air support that we all know about.
Either way, if it sucks so much that large masses of players stop playing, you can bet that EA will fix it.
