I really, really don't mind people using the tact light or the laser sight, it's easier for me to kill them when they do! I'd say I kill them 80% of the time regardless if it's up close or far away.
Also, choppers are way easier to fly than jets, Joe. And heat seekers on jets don't help a lot, I've unlocked them and the rocket pods, I still get most my kills with the machine gun.
