Well, as with any flight sim, you'd be best-advised to get a joystick, yeah...
I think the turrets should be controllable with keyboard shortcuts like the plane, though.
I think some people might hate that the guns aren't mouse-controlled, but honestly, I think that's actually a good choice for the game - the turrets were, after all, actually controlled with sticks and the guns really were that unwieldy.
If you plan on sticking with the campaign game, I highly recommend that in difficulty settings, you turn off collisions with aircraft, set enemy fighters to expert, and enemy flak to rookie. I know a lot of bombers were lost to both collisions and flak, but having played ~40 missions now and kept careful track of losses, I found that these settings were producing the most historically accurate casualty rates. Losing multiple bombers every mission to terrible AI collision avoidance is no way to go!
