Joysticks/Flight Control System – Do They Provide a Significant Adavantage?

Hi folks,

As a relative newcomer to PC (before consoles got mothballed), I've been wondering if it's worth investing in a joystick or another flight control system. I currently still use the PS4 controller on PC because that's what I'm used to. I'm also playing the game via GeForce Now/Steam.

I've watched a few videos on Youtube where I've seen folk target Interceptors with insane accuracy. I don't know if it's because they are simply far better than me, or if it's because they are using better controls. I find the sticks on the PS4 controller are difficult to get accurate shots in.

I've seen folk who are able to very accurately and consistently pick out a Ceptor heart with ease. Is it a case they are using a joystick or would even using a mouse be more accurate?

I don't really know what options there are, but I've seen a few mentions of the X52. Any other cheaper suggestions? Thanks all!
