Lol calm down there, sonny
I meant that it defeats the purpose of a console game for me. When I use sticks, I used them for PC, and I had a helluva a time. Using a stick on a PS3 makes me feel weird.
Many of us have been somewhat shamed by this game's abundance of historical flaws, and I'm only going to be completely comfortable when the largest of these flaws are fixed.
I, however, do enjoy the fact that this is a game, even with its monor quirks. Flying a Spitfire all the time, I don't notice the larger quirks. I enjoy the unlimited ammo and fuel because the only thing I want out a of a sim is good flight modeling, and the Spitfire IX is probably the most accurately modeled of all the planes right now.
So a stick, really is not that great for me. I love the feel of this being a smooth-running game I can play with my friends just for fun on my controller, on the comfort of my couch. When I feel like hardcore simming, trimming each surface manually, changing propeller pitch and working with the engine, I simply fire up IL-2 1946 and play there on my PC.
