Can you guys give tips on how to be a flyer?

Well most flyers attract looks (and fire) because of their inherent nature to rain heavy damage if not taken care of, so being seen is all in a day's work for a flyer :p

Flak is every flyer's bane but it can be easily countered by a rail who prioritises the flak (normally done only in coordinated platoons).

Attacking lone enemies is good, since one volley of plasma can cripple most builds, so if you're aware of the enemy's movements you can win most 1v1s if there isn't a flak.

Vulturing isn't something I do, but there are a few flaws to that playstyle. Firstly, you'll need to keep an eye out for low health enemies, which means sustained LoS, which means flak heaven. Every second your energy bar is full is a second of unused damage, I'd rather you shoot some plasma while keeping the bulk of the bar for a final blow.

I might be judging too hard, but it seems like vulturing is for kill chasing, which is not that important in BA 2.0. Getting assists is as good as getting kills, since a weakened enemy will be much easier for both you and your team to pick off.
