I bought a Thrustmaster TFlight Hotas 4 for playing Elite Dangerous. I would love being able to use it in SWBF2 fighter squadron too.

What do you mean with different targeting style? You steer your ship to aim, or am I wrong?

I watched many gameplay videos and I have no idea what you are talking about. It does not look like that.

Your video doesn't show space fights. Probably the controls are different in this gamemode.

What does WASD do exactly? Don't you steer with the mouse, when you move the crosshair to the side of the screen?

You do steer with the mouse. WS is throttle and AD does rolls.
The thing is, I just played another match, to make sure. You use the mouse to steer, but once you have an enemy in front of you, you start making much, much smaller mouse movements to target the enemy. E.g. your ship doesn't move so much any more; while your ship moves in a straight line, you're just moving the reticle very precisely to hit that small moving, leading circle in your enemy's path. I can't see doing it that precisely with the joystick. So I'd love to, unrealistically, be able to use the hotas to steer, but then also use my mouse to do the very precise targeting.

Here. I just uploaded my latest play. Quality will be potato for a while, while YT processes the 1080P. I don't see myself doing this with a hotas, even though I'd love to.
( My daughter came in halfway through, so I was a bit distracted )
