What if there is no flak available? Should the other weapons not be equally effective against CAF as they are against AF?
I see Normal flight as more of a training mode, I don't see a problem with it, other than its name.
CAF should have its camera locked on the hawk at all times, like AF. If you do a loop-da-loop, you should be facing the direction your hawk is facing. no slight zooming out, When you're facing the sky, your camera should be facing the sky. When you take your reticule off your target, you shouldn't be able to see him anymore. The camera should be locked on nice and tight, in all flight modes. Tada, problem solved with the cameras.
The drifting in all fight modes should be identical, CAF's drifting is a bit different. I can drift in wide circles twirling and boosting and sliding around a map unnaturally. Ground targets can't get rocket locks as well when I do this. Make the drifting identical in AF and CAF.
The moving reticule in CAF should be removed, and up the turning speed to what AF has. So turning and drifting would be the same across the board. So everyone has to turn their entire screen, and aim the same way. What an odd concept, I know
And lastly, this doesn't have anything to do with flight differences but flight in general, I personally think the auto-lock for the machine gun-fire is too much. Not only does it make it too easy to spray on target from behind, but sometimes, I try to fly in slow and focus my machinegun fire on a small target, only to have my target go off to the side to lock onto a mech on the ground, or jump for a moment to the hawk that flew by. It's not a big deal, but it's not what I'm aiming at, and I don't appreciate the game throwing my aim off on something I don't want to shoot. Not only that, it gives way people in Mechs or tanks, that I can't really see at first, but once I notice my reticule jump to that spot, I realize there's a tank or mech there, and I just focus all my fire on them, when otherwise, I may have flew by them without noticing. Really cheap and unfair for the ground troops.

No, really skilled CAF pilots don't just backflip. In fact, they'll use that even less. It's the newer CAF pilots who get too many locks and end up panicking and going into the flight ceiling too early doing loops. A really skilled CAF pilot will be shaking swarms and homers without panicking or flying in constant loops as much.
And when you get Close quarters with them, its even harder to track them. When you think you're slightly behind them, their flakk comes shooting out the side of their hawk and ends up hitting you anyways. Because with their moving reticule, what you think is the back of their hawk , is actually their side, and their side, is actually them having a clear shot on you. (I'm slightly exagerating, but you get the idea)

I can lock on to them with missles but not MG, its just that CAF can be annoying as hell. When i hurt a CAF pilot and they go in their panic mode spinning everywhere until they get the health, that pisses me off and i don't feel like continuing anymore.
@ mule-tool, i don't think its too late to take it out
