I've become a pretty good pilot and I strafe, though that's mostly because my gunners have been idiots who wanted to learn how to fly but didn't get there fast enough. I ended up flying without a gunner 90% of the time yesterday because they kept bailing out.

If there's something to use a hellfire against, like artillery or a T90, I'll line it up. Otherwise I'd just be asking to be hit. I was only hit by a missile once during an hour of flying before I even learned what the flare key was.

Helos are very easy to shoot down with the 12.7mm guns, though I seem to be the only one who has discovered this. Bagged 5 in a single match alone yesterday with it. If you fly along without doing any stunts you're just asking to be hit.
