Co-op with another player would be closest, and earn you unlocks.

What platform are you playing on?

If you play on the PC, just get comfortable strafing and shooting, dropping to kneel and generally speaking being patient. I score best on maps where I don't rush in.

Join a squad and if the squad leader or the "medic" in the squad has a decent rank stick to them and support them.

My experience so far is that Battlefield 3 is the most forgiving battlefield of recent times online and provides more of a thinking mans challenge than a "keep getting killed" challenge like in Bad Comapny 2.

PM me if you need anymore help and best of luck!

I have put up a tutorial video for Conquest mode, it should give you some good pointers.

Is there any way to practice flying? Seems the only way is online. I keep taking off and flying for a bit then ploughing into the ground. I was ok flying in BF1943 but the controls seem different in this.

you can practice chopper controls in the 2nd co-op mission. just repeat it with a friend swapping roles each time until you are both winged angels of death.

The jets are much more straight forward. Just remember until you unlock extinguishers you are essentially dead one once your hp goes below 50%
