I watched the trailer. they are pulling every known semi auto and full  auto experimental  from the time period. and this is battlefield there is no grit to cause the actual unreliability problems these weapons would have

in short yes and no. yes it is technically playable without a joystick but no it will not be near as enjoyable. even an xbox 360 controller is better than keyboard and mouse in my opinion but for $40 at the nearest microcenter you can pick up a decent HOTAS that will make flying fun.

Interesting read. I feel like I have a less negative sense of the troubled (at least economically) plane after reading this. 

I have noticed this also. In a 4-ship flight, the #4 man will not fire until 2 and 3 are dead. Is there any work around for this?

this is probably a little late and I'm sorry if someone already suggested it but I think that having the Red October could be very interesting.

expansion 3 has been in the works for 6-9+ months; a well known subject

thank you for the information i was not aware of this as i am new to the series. sorry for wasting time.

I believe there is an expansion pack coming out. My reasoning for this is after patching to the May 2012 patch level i was reinstalling some mods and accidentally clicked on the version .ini file. there i found this:

For anny sceptics no i did not make this up. I found this randomly. Just a thought. check it out for yourself and let me know.
