Reavers have better damage per shot at a lower Rate of Fire (so...like all NC guns then). They are 'ment' to have better armor, but you wont see it like that when up there. They have the slowest travel speed but the highest after-burner speed (the thing that happens when you hit shift) as well as the highest falling speed (i.e. when you face down and go forward).

For Chassis I personaly recomend hover, the less you have to think about whats pulling you down, the more you can think about making everything else fall down there instead. That and staying in the air while shooting the stuff thats already down there. Nanite auto repair (the self repair thingy) is also a good option. If you see your health going down fly away and let that start to put you back together and unless your on of those "noooo my all improtant K/D!!" people fly as an engineer, that way you can find somewhere to land and repair the rest yourself for some easy exp. and to get back out there sooner. If you want to go after planes more Stealth is a good bet, the closer you can get without you showing on their map the more damage you can do before they figger out their getting shot.

Finally go for ether Fire Suppression (free health when you need it most) or Decoy Flares (lock-ons will offen be the bane of your time in the air, if you have a rocket incomming hit "F" and ether find the guy that shot it and return the love or get the hell out of there)

For guns, the defalt is everything you want from a defalt gun, very accurate with good damage. For other options; Kestrel, with 96 shots before you have to reload its easy to hit with though it doesn't do much damage per shot however. Vortek Rotary, fatastic damage, at close range can sometimes down a fighter in one mag.. A pain in the @ss to hit a moving tatget with, this is one I pair with stealth so as to get in close as I can before they realise I'm about to shoot them. M30 Mustang AH (or Air Hammer as most call it); it's a shotgun that fires exploding pellets from a plane, best paired with thermal sights. Once you get used to its slow bullet speed it's one of the best guns in the game. Dogfights, if you can get in close they will blow up. Troops, if thermal can see them you can kill them. Shotguns, on planes, should not work, this one does.

For gun upgrades; Thermal sights, zoom is good but if your looking to hard at one thing theres a chance of you flying into something you wheren't looking at, or getting shot by it. Magazine size over reload speed, more shots before you have to reload is better than a faster reload.
