This game (il2 birds of prey) lacks a good 80 percent of the commands of a full flight sim such as 1946. Thus playing the game with a joystick is not really going to give you any sort of edge , especially when the new patch hits (half trigger will give you cockpit view control)
If we are talking a fully set up flight sim like 1946 , keyboard and joystick would be needed for full simulation of the airplane (fuel mixtures ect.) But this patch is not adding any of those simulation aspects thus the entire point of adding keyboard support is a pretty big waste of time for anyone involved.
like i said earlier , if you can handle controlling a plane with a mixture of key strokes and inputs from a joystick , you should have absolutely no issue with using a controller like everyone else.
Its my opinion that the developers wasted a good amount of time with QA testing and legalities of enabling keyboard and pc flight stick support (every flight stick company would have to be contacted) When all they had to do was test a simple change in some code .
Now the 360 version is completely murdered , i have been attempting to join games nonstop for the past 3 days and have joined 1 room with 1 other player in it.
I dont care what any of you say , i know you love anton and his crew , but there is something disgustingly wrong with having a hugely successful game waiting to get patched for like 3 months because they want to add controllers to 1 version of the game that doesnt even need it. All the while both versions are not functioning properly and people are trading the game in

Actually you need to grow up. If you like to use gamepads, then you should be able to use them. I can't stand playing games with them, so I should have an alternative - such as wheels, flight sticks, and yes - a mouse and keyboard.
And yes, a flight stick gives you an edge if it is properly implemented. A short thumb activated analogue stick is not as precise as a longer stick that you control with your entire hand.
Again, if you like using the gamepad, then YOU keep using it. I refuse to play games that force me to use one unless it makes sense for the game type.
