How to evade jet attacks (in an AC)?

Re: How to evade jet attacks (in an AC)?

i mostly use cannons against attack choppers, they seem to evade less. the only tip i can give u when one is after u is: dive downwards and to the side. NEVER FLY UP!! you'll just crash into the plane!! <-- so many nubs do that!!!. missiles arent really a problem and rarely hit, but flare anyway.
but if a pilot REALLY wants you, you wont get away from him, so you best hide :)

fight back - or fly high - jets like to fly low for some reason.

I love hunting choppers. two kills usually right off the bat. really low armor and two seconds there back in the air waiting for me two do it again. my favorite is when they fly strait up. i just fly off into the fog and return and whammo two more kills. the thing that F's me up the most is if the pilot is actually intelligent and flys low/behind hills i lose sight and my A.D.D takes over and go find something more interesting and also if they fly toward me, that screws me up just as bad, no one wants to lose there plane or chopper so i tend to bide my time with those kinds of pilots. When i used to like flying choppers i used to have a special move of my own. If the pilot manages to pass you to do another run. i usually follow in his wake meaning if he passes me and turns to the right i will also turn right. i turn tighter than me and he will get frustrated, also i usually keep my minimap open with transparancy set at 100% so ill look for friendly AA to save my but if i have too.

i've found a couple of things that help in evading not only A2A missiles, but guns and TV missiles as well. I've mastered barrel rolling from <30 altitude, so thats handy, because even the A2A missiles seem to lose lock when used in conjunction with well-timed flares. higher up in the air, i'll go into a downwards spin, or even the opposite - climp high and go towards a backflip. Only downside is when your gunner is woeful and has little trust, bails and you clip him resulting in a punish and "learn to fly noob", despite you staying up and evading missile after missile.

Re: How to evade jet attacks (in an AC)?

OK; after some practice I now fly a tad bit more decently with a gunner (used to solo). Still, the question remains...

How do I evade incoming jets? I usually flare and do a barrel roll. This still takes me some life. This is OK for noob pilots, but any skilled jet whore will kill me in 4-5 turns. What is pretty annoying. Because I'll have to spawn again, and that's even worse:

I simply can't evade jets while taking off! Flares are useless. The only thing I can think of doing is slide to the side, but still dangerous and usually I the jet kills me before I can even think of doing it.

Any tips?

barrel roll? LMAO, I don't know how evasive that move is against jets because none of the helos I've blown away had a chance to pull that $hit. But I will say this and I laugh as I do. The other day playing some AF on Operation Harvest, i was piloting the AH1Z and had a bad@$$ gunner flying with me and we came up against a Z10. This fool does your wonderful barrel roll and I just hover and orbit to the right some, elevate my nose and bam! he's dead, Hellfire to their 12:oc7ock. So umm, in my experience a BS move with no defensive benefit against other helos.
