Was the high learning curve for air vehicles a good idea or a bad idea

Once you got hovering down all it was really was, was learning to blow up a tank. You got idiots aiming right at a tank and half the fucking rockets go right over it. its got some learning curve but eh, not really. Oh and btw if you think someone sucks at flying helos (*couch phillips) get it b4 they do....
Thats why i have an M95, no one gets the chopper except me, Out of bounds ftw.
The skill in choppers/jets isn't about if you can hit things with TV missile etc. that is basic. The real skill when you've come across the basics is ingame iq and experience. The reason so many public players can't fly the chopper really properly is because they doesn't have enough experience or ingame iq, they take it to the wrong places, use wrong manouevers etc.
made me better
You have to learn the rules of the game and then you have to play better than anyone else.

What learning curve?
Really not much of a learning curve at all. After watching one jet video, I was going 40-0 in the J-10.
Choppers are harder to learn IMO.

I'm not sure what game some of these people are playing -- is it the same one that I play? I don't know anybody that jumped in a chopper and laid waste to the entire server. It's one thing to be able to fly a chopper, it's entirely another thing to fly it. Within a few hours I knew how to not crash into a mountain, but that didn't mean I could pick up a good gunner and provide him with the means to get 90 kills in a round. It took probably a fifty hours before I knew how to prioritise the threats and know the maps (I confess, I still don't know some AA positions on maps like cleansweep and it reminds me of what it was like to be a noob -- you don't know where anything is so, when you get locked, you are more likely to die) and could play in a non-retarded fashion and then another x hours before I was truly playing smart. That was back when AA was less likely to hit you, TVs had a range of 700m and most jet pilots were garbage with the guns, too.
Choppers definitely do have a relatively steep learning curve, particularly for pilots. Someone with a good aim can do some damage in a chopper even if he has no game awareness and can't work the TV, but only if there's a good pilot managing the threats and keeping the gunner away from doing something dumb (e.g. giving gunner choice between shooting a boat or AA... gunner will probably try and shoot the boat. A good pilot will recognise their gunner's inexperience and remove the decision). The moment a seasoned chopper crew shows up, those guys aren't getting any more kills, period. If there's a newbie flying the chopper, it's not going to get (m)any kills even with a good gunner (unless it's a map where it's totally stacked like being chinese on wake and all the chopper pilot has to do is point towards the blackhawks).
It's only once in a blue moon I get in a chopper with someone and they aren't totally rubbish. That, to me, says it all.
