Best Joystick for Warthunder?

[Rubzensky]

Hey folks, I'm gonna buy a joystick for warthunder, I'm just wondering if any of you can point me in the right direction, or have any experiences worth mentioning, thanks! price range is anywhere under 35 dollars... preferably less :)

dont be stupid, I had 3 cheap joistics.
and you know what one day i just decided I want be happy and do what I want, so I saved up abit and bought Full Warhog, saitek pro pedals, and htc vive to know what a real pilot felt, and you know what. Sometimes I forget I`m who I`m and become a real WWII pilot.
By the way a strong fan in front of me and and some intence smell of gun powder and oil helps + few kicks from wife to my racing chair and kids runing around creat more reality. I have to remove VR sometimes just ro remeber who I`m.

you suggested 35 dollars, Litva responded by saying dont be stupid and then stated they paid for a 2000 dollar set up.

To answer your question sectr, logitech has a good one, they only have 1, check it out what its called called. If it's too expensive, you can find it used in local computer tech forums in your city/country

if you'd ever actually flown a plane this would be inadequet, the actual feel of the G forces pushing you into your chair cant be replicated and makes anything less feel like a cheap knockoff by comparison (flying open canopy aircraft is even better :) ), i just get by with a saitek x55 and that does just fine for sim. put the difference into some actual flying rather than pretend

The best two cheapest joysticks u can find are the logitech xtreme 3D which is one of the best to start with but if u want inmersion go for the thrustmaster hotas X (I have this one) because it has 12 buttons and the throttle is individual to the joystick, I mean, u must use your both hands like if u are really flying , the logitech has a small lever. Its very good for its price and it also has two types of rudder, one behind the rudder or one by twisting the joystick. Dont look for more good joysticks because u wont find them, and yeah, if u want better joysticks u have to pay 150-300 $/€ (Saytek or Hotas Warthog are the best)

Well lets dont get to G forces here :D after all its a video game not even a simulator.
But imagine geting sweat on your body by plaing warthunder is something new. Your brain say its close to real your body say its no where near, but sometimes body starts thinking damn where is that G force. So need to lose the body to get G force ;)

But yea some cheap stuff you can get you will be like hell man thats sucks. Like every thing cheap sucks and you know it. I spend so mutch money on cheap things that if at start I buy expensive in the end I would save the money.

Your argument about buying the best could apply to just about everything in life. A better car (or car parts), better cooking appliances, better bigger curved gaming moniter, etc.

But buying an expensive joystick is not a good idea if u want to start playing sim games because if u decide to buy the hotas warthog f.ex , and then u dont like it what do u do now? So a better idea is to try it with a cheap joystick and then after thinking if u really like it, u can decide to buy a new one . Just giving my point of view.

Well IMO the logitech one that's already fairly cheap does the job. The HOTAS warthog stick is amazing but at the end of the day, it comes down to the equation of price / entertainment.

It does but like ive said before, the thrustmaster hotas x is a little bit more inmersive if u are starting sim battles. But the logitech is very good too and a little bit cheaper.

Thanks folks :) I've been looking at all the suggestions and decided on getting the Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X Flight Stick priced at $40. I appreciate all your input. :) Please have a nice day :)

-Litva- If only I could afford such things ;)

I'd actually reccomend the Thrustmaster T16000m, same pricepoint.

I have that joystick, it works very well in all my flight sim games. War Thunder, IL-2 series, DCS, FSX/P3D.
