I play a lot of BF4 on XB1, and it's a blast. I love how the devs still care about this game and release new dlc for free all the time. Anyway, regarding your first question, it just takes time to level up. If you're patient, the weapon progression is quite pleasant, actually. By the time you've unlocked a few attachments for one weapon, another has been unlocked. On your second question, I do a lot of jet and heli flying so I'll try to break it down really quick. Oh, and you dont need a special controller - it just takes time to learn the scheme (I use veteran for everything because I played a lot of BF3).
For jets, the trick is to accelerate when flying towards the sky, and decelerate when flying towards the ground. But more than that, you have to keep the ideal speed around 300 which is present in your HUD. If you get an enemy jet on your tail you can only win if you get behind them, so you'll have to either beat them with loop-de-loops or beat them with better speed control and evasive maneuvers, ideally a mix of both. I can tell you that when I log in, I pretty much never lose a dogfight because I'm such a jet nerd, but that also tells you about how few people actually take the time to research about how the jet works. By the way, one easy trick if the enemy is behind you is to let them chase you back to your base, switch to third person, press up on the d-pad to look behind you and tag them for your anti-air AI to take them out - works great if you have the attack jet and a stealth jet is attacking you.
For helis, it's a little more complicated. Speed control matters less, it's more a battle of putting yourself in the safest situations. As soon as you get high up above the battlefield, stingers, enemy helis, anti-air, will all try to take you down. So stay close to the ground, put obstructions between you and the enemy, and focus on targets that are actively attacking you. Also be weary of staying still around ground troops - many (including myself ) are pretty handy with the RPG and can take you out in split seconds. When you're first starting off the 20mm cannons are good, but you'll learn that the miniguns are ultimately a much better option for taking out enemy helis (and if your accuracy is good, enemy personnel as well).
Hope some of that helped. There's a ton more to it, that you'll pretty much learn with experience. Oh- and get BF4 premium! It goes on sale all the time for dirt cheap and is worth it. My GT is y260 if you ever wanna play a few rounds.
