I don't.

Then why play. That was rhetorical. Seriously get you a fucking joystick. They are not that expensive. BTW, I couldnt imagine playing IL-2, SF2, or Mig Alley..etc without one.

How do you effectively dogfight w/o a joystick?

LOL, who said anything about effectively?  :lol:

Actually I'm told the arcade game play works better with a mouse.  It's pretty simplified.  I still suck.  I did shoot down three planes last time and blew up 5 tanks.  Course I got shot down 3 times as well.  So it's kind of a wash.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I actually went to my local Best Buy to see if they had any joysticks.  They did not. :(

Of course I only just hit Lvl 1 on Friday, so it's not like I'm levelling very fast on this...

There is no mode in which a joystick is needed. Full Realism is the underpopulated domain of joystick elitists, but if you are feeling malicious you can go crush them there without using one.

It can't be helped...We'll have to use 'that'

The arcade mode is what makes this popular.  Flight sims have always been a niche that scared off more casual gamers.  So even non-sim flying games have suffered from this.

Okay, this will sound silly but I don't know how else to go forward.  What do I do with all that XP I get?  There's a thing I can convert XP to certain things but I'm not sure I want to do this...

Yeah, you can convert your free XP to level up in air forces.  I've hit 7 with the US, and 5 with the RAF, Germans and Lettows.  I refuse to play any Russian shit.

Pisses me off--at 7, I've unlocked more stuff than I can afford with the US.  Very annoying.

You and I both know there is a commissar inside you screaming to get out.

I am up to level 8 US, but cannot yet afford the level 7 (or 8) aircraft. And that is with a premium account. I need 180k for the F4U, for example, and clear maybe 20k per battle for a good battle. You get XP much, much faster than credits.

They are currently tuning the economy. Patch 1.29 massively increased the cost of planes, while at the same time reducing income. The cost of specialist training for the various planes was also increased. Repair costs were reduced though.

Prior to 1.29, I had bought all the planes I had researched ranks 7 - 9 in various trees and still had 1.5 million credits left, even though I never ran a premium account.

The next big patch is said to bring further adjustments to the economy, so hopefully things will get better again. It's still beta after all.

You've reached a sweet spot with the US. I am at tier 10, but my prefered setup is still 6-7: P-39N-0 + P-39Q-5 Airacobras (37mm cannon is pure murder), F4F-4 Wildcat (agile for a US fighter), F6F-3 Hellcat (awesome fighter-bomber), F4U-1a Corsair (good fighter if you work the flaps a lot).

German planes only start to get good at tier 6 and higher. Before that, they are an utter pain.
