Have you not seen the air combat trailer? The movements of the aircraft look INCREDIBLE, they even have mid air momentum going (as in, when you turn hard, it looks like your craft is skiing on air, it's THAT smooth). They also show barrel rolls and all that. While VTOL in the sense that they can hover, craft are a LOT more precise (and difficult) now. A joystick will give you a hefty advantage over those people who think it'll be as easy as it was in PS1.
