I also max the pitch and yaw....seems to give me sharper turns and faster control.....and thank Gawd someone finally put a pic up to show pilots where they need to line up the tv bomb guy>>>>>>good stuff, we should make it required reading for pilots!!!!

yeah, I just dug it up while I was googling, best guide I've read on the web for gunship flight, personally, I use a mouse and keyboard, I just bump up the dpi when I'm in vehicles.
Also, it isn't so hard to pull up out of being upside down. Somehow- this may have been a bug- I successfully managed to fly upside down, 20m off the ground, for a good 100m or so, and then flip out of it. I have no idea how, but It made me feel like an awesome pilot until some young(er) whipper shnapper shot me down..-.-

hehe, I'm kind of like a mini-Eroak, except I don't have a clue about how to fly tactically..but hey, I can do tricks!

I'm one of those goofy guys that plays at a very high sensitivity. I've upped it all up to 10 on sens, yaw, and pitch. Its payed off very well using a joystick in being able to pull out of some incredibly steep dives and risking maneuvers. Fly with me, you'll probably be scared we're gonna die about 90% of the time.

With the joystick, I can pull off some stuff not normally possible it seems. You can pull out of a really really steep dive faster or right yourself a tad bit easier I find. Plus, you can get a much tighter control over turns and keep your turns very sharp and continuous without having to continuously mouse over.

lol, I smell a new contest brewing! Who can get their passengers more sick/scared. Last night, Ains was saying over VoIP, "Uh, Anospa, what are you doing... PULL UP!" "Oh, we're not low enough?" Heh, good times.

I thought this to be true. I had once gotten out of an inversion, by accident, but thought that it was fluke. Until this sunday, when I was lucky enough to gun for the best pilot Ive ever seen. He was pulling barrell rolls like it was nobodys business, going straight up, tracking his targets while upside down, never lost view of a target, think his name was Ghost Sniper or something like that... I was so impressed, mainly with being able to go upside down and barrell roll.
