169th Wolverine

Anyone know why you can get more height in the helicopters using the joystick rather than the keyboard? Its really a cumbersome switching between keyboard and joystick in the middle of the game. Gives the other guys twice the advantage...

I use the Saitek X45 and the throttle works the same way as described in the earlier posts, but what I would like to know is why I can get more height in the helicopters using the joystick then using the keyboard. I dont think that ppl should be at a disadvantage for using the keyboard instead of the joystick. Its just more convinent for me to use keyboard and mouse all the time instead of switching back and forth..
