BF2S Forums Why is people moaning about using keyboard/mouse to fly?

Just alot more realistic

Meh, the definition for you is a planewhore ( this means that you always want the plane, but you suck at flying )

On the  subject: i find flying keyboard/mouse quite comfortable after i got used to it.

Yo, Zimmer, ive got some news for you :

According to- Your- stats your not good at flying yourself !  Why ? because  you might have a way to narrow view of "good flying" if you only look at K-D ratio or so.
Apparenly you ONLY fly the J10 at Wake all the time.

"Good pilots" fly ALL planes on ALL maps, like maps with fog (Dragon Valley), distracting OIl rigs (Zatar Wetlands), Mountain ridges without any J10 on the map (Kubra Dam) and so on...
And also - just an estimated guess since I have not met you in-game as far as I know - your priority seems to bomb infantry and ground targets mainly (uncaps like the carrier maybe too ??), because most enemy pilots can offer you no real challenge in the F35 on wake..., and theres no mobile AA on Wake either.

I would like to see you fly on the maps I mentioned above for say 20 hrs per map, before you go judging
other peoples flying abilities.

Btw,  my K-D in planes is - only - 2 , because my priority as pilot  is engaging ANY enemy fighter/bomber 1st thing  in WHATEVER plane is available, so that does not often leave time for ground attacks.
Shooting the enemy fighter gives you one kill, before being shot down by mobile AA (kubra) , stingers (Oman) or whatever. Thus giving "good pilots" just a K-D ratio of 1.0 or 2.0 ....

Ooooooooh you can't get Kris down when he is in the Super Cobra! His beastlyness is just too hot for some players. J10s fear me because when I'm not evading them I've shooting at them . Igloo sites are the only problem because they never miss. Oh yeah I fly with mouse and keyboard (I think without them I couldn't pull some of my hot moves ). EDIT: I have a bad K/D ratio in a helo because I'm always the pilot, and pilots normally don't get most of the kills.

Captain "Fear me J10s" Kris

watch yourself when me and wileypube (my pilot) come a knocking. (he uses keyboard only btw, as do i)

I'll show you usefulness of the joystick

i am not good at chopper... but good enough to see that move is useless!

It's about how much control you have with joystick and not about that move i used keyboard and mouse but never found it to be superior to joy ever since i started flying in AH-64 in dc days.

I couldn't configure my joystick to work with helis. Leaning the stick left would turn right etc.

Well actually, I barely flew wake before, I went on Oman, and I still do. I can fly on any plane map without complication, so dont go telling me that i only fly the J-10, I fly that plane because I like it and it gives me a chance to get my scores higher in no time.
And I sadly, cannot fly on Dragon Valley or Fushe Pass, becuase my computer simply cannot cope with the graphics or the largness of the map.
I really love Fushe Pass, but instantly when I get in a plane, my comp starts to slow down and I get major lag.
Oman, wake, Kubra and Daqing I can play, but the last 2 with a lot of difficulty.
Believe me, if i had a powerfull computer which would not lag on such maps, I would be playing them more.
But my computer is restricting me from such options.
And no my friend, your definition of good pilots is bullshit.
Have you even read the AVIATORS GUIDE by Zenmaster?
I think not, he is a great pilot because he can do BOTH things - Bombing and air to air.
You suck because you can only do air to air, against planes.
A good pilot MUST always look for the threat on the ground before looking in the air, as this game is mainly for ground troops, you dont want the enemy cpaturing bases while you fly around looking for planes.
Secondly, you MUST look out for choppers.
They are part of the big force that will try to capture flags.
You have all the priorities completely wrong, so dont go telling me good pilots have a K/D of 1.0-2
And if you are a good pilot, you should be able to avoid stingers and AA, thus showing you arent one.

I prioritise myself for ground attack, so that we dont lose any bases.
most good pilots do, or they go for the big BH's so that they cant go to any base.
Dont go giving me a lesson on how to fly, because by what you have said here, you are a very bad pilot.
Who has an even narrower view on "good piloting"
Go talk to Zenmaster, or Sarge, tehy will tell you right away, that flying is not all about the planes.
Sarge is an  amazing pilot, so is Zenmaster, and where do they play a lot?
Wake
You go play with them, and learn something, instead of coming up here with teh dumbest facts and comments i have read on plae piloting.

Keyboard's fine for me. WASD, arrow keys, space and Num 0 are all I need.
