Turn off the chats, both voice and message, ignore those fools and enjoy your game however you see fit. Ninety percent of all BF players suck anyhow, so who cares.
They were rebooting the back end yesterday morning and connections were spotty for several hours, and even later last night I had trouble finding any sort of game I really wanted to play.
I tried out the Fighter today and it's more to my liking since it's faster and more maneuverable. I was able to take down two attack planes, a bomber and one other fighter along with a couple of guys on the ground before getting chewed up by an AA gun. I could tell, especially when dogfighting the other fighter that slowing does indeed tighten the turns. He was tailing me first but I was able to out turn him and get on his six and stay there. By following and trying to tail other planes you can see what makes turning faster if you play with the throttle, slow down to turn, then speed up if he starts to pull away. Pulling your mouse into it also seems to tighten things up a bit, after a while it will become more natural. By the end of that round I felt pretty comfortable in the fighter, oh and the fast repair (press 3) really helps.
It does piss me off sometimes but only when I have to play regular mode. This game should be hardcore only and be done with it.
Yeah, the fighter planes have crazy maneuverability. They're also the only ones where you can alter your flight speed while repairing. My graphics card is a bit old, so all the quick turning is pretty jagged and makes me a bit motion sick. The attack planes are more my style. You can also taxi people around for variety.
One funny thing to do is try and knock down enemies with the planes. You can actually kill them by running into them with your wings, just not at full speed though. Works well with horsemen too.
I only played a couple rush games on it. Both times it was half of the team sitting in windmills as sniper. First game on attack I tried playing normally, we lost. Second game on defense I equipped the limpet charge and spent half the game blowing up windmills. That was fun.
I found a new appreciation for the limpet charge. You can throw it a decent distance and you can sneak up on tanks pretty easily most times since they are hardly ever fully populated so the side/rear are blind spots for them.
Last night I checked out all the custom gamemodes, only 1 hardcore rush server was populated, ~50 empty servers. wierd
I've been able to take out several nerd players who live on the internet by dropping speed during pursuit, and they run into the back of the plane, deploy flares and they get torched.
Ive used the limpet charges from the beginning, it's my favorite kit. You can remodel buildings to your liking. I.e. Trap yourself on a third story.I only played a couple rush games on it.

Ultimate because the deluxe just has skins and stuff. Standard has one free map which already came out, giants shadow.
