Well luckly the game isn't too button hungry unlike Elite, enough buttons worked for me to handle most the mechs functions. I tried setting dead-zones and curves to my joystick to help with aiming but that made it worse. Instead I turned up the vertical and horizontal sensitivity in MW5 which made the "top" of the mech a lot more responsive and now i can land shots regularly at the 400/500 meter range without zoom, anything farther out I start having to zoom in. The biggest thing I'm missing is VR, I've got a Rift which is incredible in Elite but any 3d game on a regular monitor is so un-immersive.
