I am interesting in buying this game but I am really on the fence if I am using a mouse/keyboard combo. Do people play like this or is it a real disadvantage?
I would have bought it ASAP but some of the reviews I watched said you needed a joystick.
There's videos preferring joysticks but there's also videos of some great flying using mouse+keyboard. It's all personal preference. Easily playable with either/both.
I just got the game myself and I've been playing it with a gamepad. Works well enough for me. Though it would be nice to try this one with a decent flight stick.
Same here. Been playing with mouse and keyboard for 6 weeks+ no problem, tried joystick and keyboard but just did not feel right.
Coming from play Mech Warrior Online and Unreal style games.
Keep in mind that you can remap pretty much everything. So if mouse left/right roll doesn't work for you, try yaw. Same with joystick axis and such, all configurable.
