    Sure, you're having fun, but have you considered plugging in a handful of peripherals and remapping controls?

    Best cheapish add-on for flight games for me has been head tracking with the Smoothtrack app on my phone. Really fiddly, though.

        Not sure if they have them in war thunder, but the 23mm and 37mm cannon alternate loadouts in il-2 sturmovik: great battles are great.

          Warthunder does have the IL-2-37 which is the 37mm and the ShKAS - but it is the slowest IL-2 with a gunner in-game. thing is still a floating tank though with all those steel plates around the cockpit and an excellent way to suffer through war thunder's currency grind for new planes at rank 2-3 which are the ideal ones for air battles anyways. I actually prefer the 1942 though with the smaller cannons and no turret or gunner - no one expects the IL-2 1942 to drop its 250kg payload, glacially climb to like like 1000m, and then just harass fighters by bleeding speed to turn out of their fire and hopefully cause them to whiff into an AAA or god forbid a teammate that actually pays attention.
