Do i need JoyStick to play this game?I played with Keyboard arrows and then my plane will start to wobble when i turn with my plane. And Second, at starting when we fly together to waypoint i can't keep up with my mate's because i can't hold same altitude and speed.

Yes I would highly recommend a joystick.
I am a tightwad that can wear the head off of pennies so I fly all my sims with the cheapo Logitech 3D Extreme. In the US you can get this at places like Best Buy for like $44. MS Sidewinder is also a good stick that is pretty cheap.. IIRC $55 or so.

can you even find the sidewinder any more ? that been out of production for a long time ?
ahh bite my butt, who got butter on my joystick !!!!!
(hmmm, hope that comes across correctly)
dang dog
Tiger Direct has the 3d extreme for 27.00
proadvantage, has it for 29.00
those are two good online stores I look at
(they got a odd Thrustmater, stick and throttle, but they on the same base ? what a odd idea)

Find Sidewinder...
Heck yeah.... right in my office at home hooked up to my old Pentium 233... LOL
I still run it too.
B-14 Flying Fortress
AWI II III MV
Colonization
Front Page Football Pro 98
Legends of the Grand Prix
Grand Prix 2
But I really wish I could run SWOTL and Wolfpack... but I would have to hook up my old 5.25 Floppy to run them.

To really play BOBII and take full advanage of the game play and dog fighting, you will need a joystick.
No one playes BOBII without a joystick but it is possible to play with the keyboard.
