Same, its easy using the mouse.
A few tips, Germans and Americans climb and dive fast, don't dive with them.
American Cobras and the Yak 9s with some 109s pack 37mms, 1 lucky round can kill you.

British planes start weak with 7.7mm peashooters, but these shoot a f***ton of bullets. Point them at an engine of a bomber and watch it blow. With Incendiary Ammo you see lots of Japs burn. Once you get to the 20mm Hispanos all your problems are gone. Watch out for the 120 round ammo cap though. Spitfires are one of the best planes in the game, and certainly very enjoyable. Can do Boom and Zoom, excel at dogfights.
Germans can do Boom and Zoom the best. Boom and Zoom is a tactic where you dive onto someone from above, empty 1 or 2 bursts(Boom) and use the speed to climb back up.(Zoom) use this for planes who have low turn rates.

NEVER EVER EVER TURNFIGHT SPITFIRES OR ZEROS, unless your in one yourself. I fly spitfires alot can cannot count the number of times 3 American/German/Russians tried to dogfight me and lost, ending with me having three kills and minimal damage just by turning and turning.
Flying spitfires against zeros just remember that you can take a few shots but 1 20mm and he's going down.

Always go High and Fast. Never Slow and Low. Going Low at 10-20m ( treetop level) fast with WEP is a good escape tactic, called hitting the deck. High and fast is for offensive purposes the best way to start a fight.
Convert KE into Potential Energy smartly and vice versa.

Avoid furballs like the Plauge. Furballs are any fights with more than 5 planes. Your just as likely to die from a teammate as a stray enemy round not aimed at you. All it takes is 1, remember.

Play to your plane's strength. The stats in game tell alot. Also you can google how the WW2 pilots flied those planes and use the strategies, everything is quite realistic.
Historical and Full Real are much more realistic though, AND MUCH MORE HARDER.

Russians. Just like in WoT russian stuff are better, not stupidly OP, but better.

Lol the aircobra. I like my hispanos better.
