MouseKBoarders VS. Gamepads VS. Joysticks

"I ain't got better – I just changed the controller setup".

Crap, I was a X-Box gamepad user and now I play WT casual level style – only for better grinding. It's funny, with standard controller configuration you can achieve way more. This type of gameplay should be featured as 'Fly-by-Wire for retro planes'. I often wondered about the highscores, now I realize that even me can be a super air superiority ace pilot having multiple win streaks in a row. 

This topic has been on my mind since some time. The whole situation can not be changed, we've come too far – so here is a little fact sheet – just in case other players call me a n00b again (those b00ns):


Fact #1
Owners of command chairs know that such types of simulators can do serious stuff.

Fact #2
Joysticks players are on a pro sim level.

Fact #3
Gamepad users have the better comfort and good precision.

Fact #4
Users of mouse and keyboard allways win.

Fact #5
n00bs use preset steering assistance in video games to outmatch us all!!

Cat's are the best ...and Dolphins of course!

Real Dolphins, yes but...

Speaking of Dolphins, how about this? It has incredible manuevering beeing the holy grail of fun vehicles:


And for the speed addicts - the shark is out there!


Actually no submarines, those Seabreachers can do some little diving. On the other side they can do amazings jumps and tricks. Invented in USA those jetski boats are available as customized productions. This means they add what you want, it's all modular on request (based on the limited space). They even do individual airbrush paint jobs. Not cheap at all but big fun for sure. I cannot afford one so I wanted to share this amazing piece of real world technology. At least I might see them cruise around somewhere someday and who knows - keyword: Seatsharing. :)

Another boat they invented: The Orca.

And now Ladies and Gentleman, a Cat! Yes cat's are the best:
