Gameplay/Joystic or Mouse

[niberious]

So i am having some trouble with my FPS .I play at arround 10-19 FPS in low-custom graphics and the problem i have is that i cant aim and follow..or lead my target.I am using a mouse and keyboard and i was wondering if the use of a joystick would help me get over this problem...i have tried nearly everything so i am open to ideas and possible solutions !!

I have no real experience with a joystick in this game, but as a general rule, keyboard & mouse are the most simple means to play this game.
For me, the way I play the game (keyboard & mouse, my joystick is not usable in this game) I've learned that I need to lead a bit in front of the lead indicator (depending on the type of ammo & the distance to the target). Frankly, it's a bit difficult to say in words, trial & error will learn you more about how to play it.

Perhaps a player with a low FPS can give you more tips on how to aim better?

i dont have trouble shooting or leading.I know how to play the game ..when i have good FPS..but now that i dont i am simply useless cause i cant even follow my sights ..For example i lose track of where my aim is going .Maybe a joystick would help me follow my aim cause i dont have to move my mouse and then lose it amongst the graphics

some say joysticks are harder to aim with. Me i use mouse and keyboard. My suggestion would be to make sure your pilots stamina is maxed. that would allow for target ridicule to line up more quickly and more accurately all the time

Using a joystick will not improve your fps.

You have to get used to a lower fps and mouse/keyboard or joystick use , doesnt change your fps
Fps has to do with your graphics card

True!

Also, the only way to actually be able to aim with a joystick is to have a "heavy" one made for WT. And you will still need to learn the game all over again. The only place I find my joystick useful is in "simulator" or "full real" as it used to be called.
