So picked up 3 BJs and have been piddling around with them. (1, 3, 1DC). While in various engagements while either strafing or chasing an enemy I have popped my jets a few times to see if I could turn and get above the obstacle that is blocking my los to get off a shot and it "feels" like I might actually be turning faster while jetting then if I was to strictly rotate my legs on the ground.

I honestly don't know if this is the case and if someone knows the dark of it and could weigh in that would be great.

turning with the jets is faster and gives a tighter turn radius, especially at higher throttle settings

For most cases just have jumpjets will dramatically increase your brawling potential, just because you can turn faster.

Typically 2 jets is all that's required unless you are going for full on poptart.

One thing I learned from the BJ-1 and BJ-3 is that your JJ's should be in constant use. When you turn, especially if you're in combat, never just turn your legs. A quick burst of your JJ's and you'll be facing the opposite direction. It makes up for the lack of torso twist range and the fixed arms.

Hills and other cover are to be taken advantage of also. Run up a hill perpendicular to where your target is, hit the JJ's when you're about a quarter of the way up, take your shot and fall back to the ground under cover.

I probably look like a Tasmanian Devil when I'm piloting my BJ's. Constantly surrounded by a cloud of dust.
