How to enjoy/get better at BF6 if you suck?

Used to play a lot of BF2 and BF4, always been a fan of the bigger maps and slower, strategic gameplay, but am finding myself completely overwhelmed in BF6. Feels like I'm dying every few seconds and every chance I get to figure something out (from exploring the map to learning how to fly) I get about 10 seconds to learn before I get blown to piece from four different angles.

It's frustrating because I feel like I can barely get the practice I need to get better in this fast-paced and chaotic of a setting. What are your tips for enjoying the game for someone like me (which maps, modes, etc.) and how best to get better at it besides just throwing myself into the meat grinder over and over? Thanks!
