Whoever disagrees here is either completely stupid, did not read this, or is a jet whore.
I believe in what is called gameplay balance. This means that there is no one thing in the game that dominates over everything else.
In 1.12, jets/heli had a huge advantage over everything. Nothing could kill them. This is not a balanced game because there was nothing that could kill the jets, except other jets. This is what we call NOT FAIR. You don't deserve to get a 50:1 ratio just because you guided your guy using WASD to a jet and pressed E. You DO deserve a 50:1 ratio if what you did actually took skill.
Now with the 1.2 patch, the jets are not as good anymore. This is what we call BALANCE, because everything is equally useful now. So you can't get a mega ratio from having a better vehicle than the other guy. If you want gameplay like that, go play an MMORPG where if your guy has better weapons, armor, and experience than your enemy, you automatically win.
The reason we have so many idiots who don't believe in balance here is because BF2 appealed to the MMORPG junkies with the gay ass rank/points/unlock system.
