Request: Change jet mastery conditions

I do not mind focusing purely on vehicles in the sky if I have something to work towards. The problem is however that the goal you work towards is massive that it will take me well over a year to get my jets to max mastery comparatively to ground weapon or tank which would take me under a month. 

Its almost as if someone just said "I don't care about the difficulty or difference in kills per second lets just make it the same across the board". 

I wouldn't mind the number if I could hit infantry in a jet and have my kills ALL kills not just vehicle kills count towards my mastery level. But they don't. 1,200 Vehicle kills is absurd. 

- You can't do it vs bots because they never take enough vehicles. 
- You cannot do it in normal games because 64 enemy players have access to an enormous amount of lock on potential. You are also being chased by other jets and going in circles for half the match (unless you're in a felon then the panther just dies or tries so hard to survive that they vtol lol)
- Enemy teams never have enough vehicles around. 
- By the time you've completed your first pass on a full health tank, someone else has already killed it. 
- Vehicle assists do not count towards mastery.

- Lock ons from jet to target also bug out constantly, randomly breaking lock on or just outright ignoring input to fire once locked on.

On average i'll get around 10-20 kills per match, half of them will be vehicle kills. The rest will be stacked players in vehicles. *Laughs in condor kills* If I have a good game it'll be around 30ish kills in a jet. Primarily the felon as the panther against an equally skilled player just loses to the Felon near constantly.

So yeah either half it, or allow all kills to count for it. It makes no sense to make it 100x slower to level your mastery in a jet compared to anything else. Its incredibly boring and if we're not mean't to work towards mastery ranks + emblems and sprays and skins. Why bother having them in the first place.
