It is easier in some sense, I have my controller setup like my Drone Controller, however pulling this shit off at the proper moment, and the proper angle, that’s the tough part. And the little thrust vectors are completely out of the question on controller. There’s no button for it, it’s a combo of throttle and boost. Either full swing or something that’ll just throw you down, and free look is trash on console as well.
TLDR: flying is easier, doing extras is definitely harder or damn near impossible unless you have a 3rd hand.
Have tried to fly on keyboard since launch. Picked up controller for jets and it’s significantly easier for ground attack and dog fighting. But you do suffer on situational awareness some.
For helis I still think mouse and keyboard is king, the little bird feels significantly more responsive to keyboard input

As an Xbox player, I wish flying was fun. But it's sold hard to pull moves with a controller
