Good jet pilots in BF3 lets you retain air superiority so you can...blow up their jets? Most jet pilots in BF3 do dick all for their team and are basically playing a different game than everyone else.

plus the balance is way out of whack in BF3. if you're in a helicopter, you absolutely destroy any infantry or armor and basically force someone to equip a stinger just to counter. in BF1942 it was more balanced with planes only being a threat against armor. they were still very powerful in the right hands, but it didn't offset the balance so badly that the opposing team were forced to change classes to compensate
