not having joystick support is absolutely scandalous. DICE has been nerfing joystick support since the last few versions and it needs to stop. If any other vehicles were as nerfed as jets etc there would be uproar across the community.
To me flying the jets in bf2042 feels so sterile I feel more like one of those drone pilots than someone sitting in the cockpit.
In BF2/BF3/BF4 I was Maverick...ruling the skys and kicking *. In BF3/4 I felt like Blue Thunder flying the choppers. In BF2042..I feel......nothing....absolutlely nothing,.,,there is zero skill involved...lock on..push a button and thats basically it.
