August 30, 200718 yr Question for you. What do you use to fly in BF2? Keyboard, Mouse or Joystick? I suck at flying, and indeed only take planes so i can fly over a base then jump out. I use my keyboard to fly and find it awkward, but not as awkward as using the mouse. I keep wondering whether a joystick would be more beneficial.... So, what do you use?!?!
August 30, 200718 yr Author I should probably have waited for more replies, but since your pretty good at flying i went ahead and purchased a Joystick. Saitek Cyborg EVO Joystick
August 30, 200718 yr I used to use a keyboard and a mouse and I was pathetic... Planes were OK but I couldn't fly a heli (with the except of transports), though I played with a guy who claimed he used key+mouse in attack choppers and played both as a pilot AND as a gunner (he switched to gunner when he needed hellfire rockets). Never missed... HAX?! Obviously
August 30, 200718 yr well for the jets I need a joystick but for the chopers I use mouse and keyboard. apache ftw:D
August 30, 200718 yr I went out and bought a joystick. It was hard (for me) to handle, so I retruned it and I just use my keyboard. I guess I just got accustomed to the key assignments. I've even tried a gamepad, but met with the same results, plus, for some reason, i met with a lot of lag? But..................keyboard!
August 30, 200718 yr I should probably have waited for more replies, but since your pretty good at flying i went ahead and purchased a Joystick. Saitek Cyborg EVO Joystick I have the same joystick. I use it for flying planes only, I'm better using the keyboard with choppers.
August 30, 200718 yr I used keyboard and mouse. But i wasn't any good at flying, ask anyone who saw me fly above them and ask what they thought...

August 30, 200718 yr Don't listen to him he's not that difficult to blow out of the sky even in a J-10:eek: see, even ding can shoot me out of the sky. now that's bad! haha
August 30, 200718 yr If I had a joystick I would use it because it seems like it would be much more fun, but all you have to do is crank up the mouse sensitivity for aircraft and it is a piece of cake.
August 30, 200718 yr Standard keyboard and an MX518 mouse FTW. I'm in no means awesome at flying, but I'd crank up the sensitivity whenever I got in one and I could do ok. I usually didn't get the jets on the maps. I played in the attack heli's alot though. I use the same set up, but I don't put the sensitivity as high as I do when I fly a jet. I'm pretty good at both gunning and flying, but very rarely have I flown solo and swapped from gunner to pilot. It's just to complicated.

August 31, 200718 yr I am pretty good at crashing..... I wish I could do better but I have a block against becoming a FLYER.....

August 31, 200718 yr I use my mouse and keyboard to ram transports into stuff! ftw!!! I don't make lots of friends that way of course, but effective nonetheless. Still debating on whether a joystick would be a good investment, since we will probably switch games before too long, I am supposing. Most of the games we've looked at don't have flying, do they?

August 31, 200718 yr I use a joystick for planes and a keyboard/mouse for choppers. I think that's the ultimate setup.

August 31, 200718 yr I use keyboard + mouse and I like to think that i'm pretty good at flying transports, I can land then on the back of the titan 90% of the time. I *suck* at flying the gunships though, I don't know if a joystick would make it better because I dont have one
