Pretty much agree with the above post. It's super easy to unlock flares, but prepare to be shot down 10 times before you even hit anything with your cannon. All you need to do as aircraft is get the feel for it and the controls. Then start attacking things. You'll get support points for helping destroy vehicles and taking objectives. These will push you up right away. In fact, with the helicopter, all you have to do is cap a single flag point ONCE and you unlock flares right there. 200 points is all it takes. As soon as you unlock flares, survivability shoots up at least 40%. The rest is on you to keep out of the line of sight of stingers. Not much you can do against heatsinking sidewinder missiles, though. Just use flares and then get back at your enemy as best you can.
