Hey guys,
I have been playing with a Joystick since day 1, last year. I just cannot fathom how you can fly a plane with a mouse -sounds like me trying to steer a car using oars. Or eating noodles with my ankles. Or petting my cat with a pitchfork. There is something inherently wrong with using the mouse. The hair on my arms stand up.
Of course, pathetic jokes aside, what I feel I gain in quick response (SNAP BARREL ROLL!) and pseudo-impression of flying an actual plane, I loose in awareness. Indeed, moving the mouse around expands your field of view dramatically and gives you a serious edge in dogfighting -you can actually see what the opponent is up to, and not wildly guess looking at a tiny arrow in the minimap. But again, a pitchfork on a cat gets the job done in a blink. Not that I could ever approach any of my cats with a pitchfork, of course.
I sometimes use the mouse to play with my son side-by-side on two PCs, but I feel like the cockpit is full of water when I do not use the 'stick. If I ever suffer terminal brain damage and play bombers, I might enjoy using a mouse, or even a trackball. But my brain is not shrinking too much -yet.
On a different note, it seems that I should lift some weights, exercise more or take vitamins, because I haven't been able to wreck my Logitech Extreme 3D joystick yet. I should look into that. Maybe I should play with boxing gloves. Maybe my Woody Allen Fitness plan needs upgrading.
When will we have a "JOYSTICK WRECKER" ribbon in the game ?
Have fun and eat fruits,
Levlos
