And Karkand is your favorite map. Doesn't it get boring without jets and choppers? Just curious.
I've flown chopper plenty before (different account), and found it's just far too difficult to find someone capable of actually hitting anything with the TV cam while pubbing. Chopper soloing usually resulted in being kicked/banned, so I just never bothered with this account. Jet control is too jumpy with the mouse to be anywhere near as effective as someone with a decent joystick, of which I have no intention on getting. APC/Tank, too easy. 95% of armor users spawn camp or sit 150m away from the fight beside supply boxes and engineers. Someone else on a different forum said it best: you can drive an APC up to the front spawns on Karkand and then put your cat on the keyboard and you'll win the round. Sure, I guess the 3 people in armor each round are having a great time, but nobody else in the game is. The vehicles are fun for a while, but they just add too much power, hence why the real hardcore armor/jet whores are willing to TK for the stuff they want. I play on foot, primarily on IO servers now, because it puts everyone on the same playing field and leaves only skill and a bit of luck to determine the outcomes. Anyway, it's never really gotten boring so far and I've put 500+ hours into this account. I get a lot bigger rush out of winning close-quarters infantry fights against an entire squad than I ever would in any of the vehicles.
Anyway, if you don't mind me commenting a bit...
Your accuracy looks great so far, but it seems like you're not picking up too many kills, or are going down before you can get a kill shot ( <1 KDR ). Maybe sacrifice a bit of aim for speed and you should be able to get some more kills out of it. 30% is pretty high, so you've got a bit of room to work with if you don't mind trading off a bit of accuracy to fire a couple more shots than normal at a target. Looks like you're most comfortable with carbines so far. US/MEC have very solid starter Spec Ops weapons, so I suggest sticking with that kit until you get the hang of exactly how the hit detection in Battlefield works. Take some shots that you might not normally, you never know when someone is running around injured and even 1 bullet could take them down.
As for the chopper. Attack chopper can be fun, but seeing as how you've logged mostly time as USMC on Wake so far, trying to be succesful in the chopper can be pretty tough as the J10's dominate the air nearly all of the time. For learning purposes, I'd recommend a different map such as Kubra Dam (if you want jet presence) or Sharqi (no jets, just 1v1 chopper, AA sites, and transport gunners).
