There is no real way to help someone else improve while flying a jet. Guided Missiles aren't as good as they are cracked up to be, mainly because once you get a lock onto someone, they will eject flares/countermeasures the moment you let a rocket go. Try to master the machine gun since that's the only gun that will kill people without having to worry about flares etc.
But if you do decide to use Guided Missiles after you unlock them, it's going to be a pain because if the enemy has flares, you need to wait until after they eject their flares, not exactly after they are deployed but around 5-8 seconds after. But the only problem with doing that is that you need to keep the lock on them which can get extremely hard when people are trying to evade the lock.
Just stick with spotting people, tanks etc. You will get xp, and try sticking with a "wingman" or another teammate in a jet especially if they are good. Because if you can get a couple hitmarkers on the enemy jet, and then your teammate destroys the jet and kills the enemy you will get XP for assist. Hope some of this will help you. :y:
Help me a lot thanks but What about the heat seekers? I also keep getting shot down from other jets because i don't have the IR Flares yet, which is getting me mad. There's no way for me to kill other jets because I keep getting locked on from them...
