Arcade Mode with Joystick
Hey,

I am very happy to show you guys a solution to play the arcade mode with a joystick. I wrote a guide on that topic. It works very well. Enjoy.

In this video you can see how precise it is, no wobble when pitching the aircraft:

Why do u want to play arcade with a joystick and not moving to simulation battles , which in my opinion is a better idea?????

Hey,

no I want the fast paced short action combined with my joystick. I don't want to fly the realistic battles or simulation battles.

I've searched for a solution to combine both. There are many youtube videos explaining how to set up the joystick for arcade battles but they all don't work very well. Arcade mode is nomally not made for using a joystick.

Btw I am using the joystick and an oculus rift in arcade battles and it's a blast.

If its good for u its fine, and yeah i guess AB is more "instant action" but if u want someday realism in an arcade way i recommend u to play SB but its just your choice xD

Yes why not. Maybe I will start someday with realistic or simulation battles. Who knows. But now I want just short dogfights. And I wanted to share this stuff with you guys.

Is here nobody interested in flying the arcade mode with a joystick? Hmmm.....

I think it's nice of you to share it with us, and personally I'm quite interested. I actually bought a joystick when I began to play WarThunder, only to find out it was useless in AB. :P

As hard it is for the SB players to believe, not everyone wants to play SB ...

PD: i have a t16000m too, great stick.

I promise it is functioning so great, really well..... Since I am flying with the mouseemulation i can hit everything.

Even u can use the joystick in AB i dont think u will be that precise shooting planes in comparison with a mouse but maybe with practice u can do it. Just my personal view.

Im a SB player i think u can play AB or RB with joystick but u will be i a clear disadvantage against other players, thats why i say it will be better to go to SB to have balance in the gameplay but u can play RB with joy cuz its totally playable, not AB IMO

No. then try it. It's very precise and the feeling ist great. Test it first please before speculating something.

I will, just to see if its 100% playable and maybe it helps for SB

be warned though, some consider using a joystick in arcade cheating

Why? if someone wants to make aiming 10x harder than mouse users let em.
