Rotation, static always irked me. I don't like to angle my head to see where I'm going, and the white compass like markings leading from your dot on the map is hard to notice IMO.

Static, my brain is wired to read it faster than the rotation one

I've tried both..

especially when flying the AF scout helis the static is quicker for me to read

Rotation always.. I got used to that long time before BF2... ie. Aliens vs Predator 2 (movement detector)

Rotating. I like it when everything revolves around me.

Static, cos when you want to point someone out, you know which way is North etc, ie "He's on the NE corner of the building at B5"

Rotating. I always lost in the middle of battle with static so I kept going in the wrong direction.

I tried rotating when I first started playing and thought it was too weird and confusing so I switched to static after half a round and stuck to it ever since.

Also, I doubt its possible, but can you make it so when in a vehicle it doesnt make it go to the furthest out mini map zoom? Or at least make it stick so it doesnt change every time you hit tab?

I use rotating. I don't think one is really better than the other, it just depends on which you're used to looking at. Only advantage I can see is that when you use static, it cooperates with the big map (M key).

zoom the minimap to the desired level before entering lets say the blackhawk. the minimap will stay at the zoom level you entered with when you switch gunner seats.
