I was actually chasing around a red clump on the map until I realized that the bomber was a flashing yellow dot.
I'm starting to get used to the fact that I have to use the R3 to look around, and I'm more able to keep my view on the enemy.
Any tips flying with a game pad? I feel using a HOTAS defeats the purpose of a console game.

Defeats the purpose of a console game?
This setiment is the problem with console companies, publishers, developers, and some gamers.
Why should we be confined to playing these games with a gamepad? It has to be about the worst possible control method for flight sims, FPS, and RTS games. Gamepads and the rigid enforcement of using these pieces of crap in games like Halo mean, for me at least, that I get NO enjoyment playing an otherwise great game. If I could play Halo with full mouse support, I'd be playing that game for sure.
At least with driving sims they have enough sense to support wheels.
Seeing as how PC games are dying, if consoles take over and I'm forced to play games with a one size fits all approach regarding control interface - my desire to play games at all really will tank.
Maybe playing with a HOTAS defeats the purpose of a console game for YOU - it doesn't work when applied in a general sense.
