I was just curious who uses WASD and who uses the arrows to move around.

Infantry - yes I use the WASD for moving, not the arrow keys because they are so far from the other keys... with my left hand at WASD, I can easily reach other keys. Right hand on the mouse for aiming. I prefer the mouse over the joystick because it's more responsive than the joystick at aiming.
Vehicles - ug still working on that. I'm probably going to revert to Infantry controls. Right now I try using my Saitek X45 HOTAS, but I really need the mouse for aiming. Might try using the Throttle control or the Joystick for piloting + the mouse (for aiming).
Sea - my X45 works OK, but again, the mouse makes for good aiming. Whatever finally works best for land vehicles will be what I use for sea.
Air - I use the HOTAS 100%, since there is no mouse aiming possible. The stick is on a small end table between my legs, under the keyboard drawer for when I need it.
On second thought, my X45 HOTAS throttle + mouse could possible work for everything...
it has:
* a throttle which can be used for throttle + running forward and backward.
* a rudder (on the handgrip) for rudder + turning vehicle + strafing left/right when infantry.
* Two hats (which you can configure as individual 4-way buttons or 8-way buttons) and two buttons = 10 or 18 buttons.
...I just won't use the joystick - use the mouse instead.
