HOTAS replacement for my TM T16000M

[EDT]

Hello guys,

 

I've recently decided that it's time for me to get a full setup, pedals, throttle and stick. Right now I'm using a T16000M which has served me well for about two years in dcs, but as I've dived into learning the A-10C these past months, I feel like I've hit it's limits..

 

My question for you guys is: Which setup should I go for? I've already decided to get CH Pro pedals (goes for 125 USD here). So what I'm asking you guys for, is which HOTAS to get.

 

Ofcourse there's the warthog which goes for around 400 USD here in DK (by far the cheapest price, some stores have it for like 550)

 

Then there's the CH Products Fighterstick and throttle which combined goes for around 350 (this is the pedals excluded)

 

I don't feel like going for saitek due to all the bad reviews.

And DCS is the main use, though I just purchased start citizen and sometimes fly Il-2 BOS/BOM and war thunder :)

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

 

I am in the same boat but I would like to share my input. If I were you I would get the warthog if you are after the most realistic option because they make superb sticks especially with a stick extension which will greatly increase the precision and realism enabling you to harness the true resolution of the hall sensor.

There really is not a great selection out there and because that I went with the x55. The earthly has cheap plastic internals just like the x5r and I do not feel it is worth 2x the price of the x55. I have not had any issues with the x55 over the past few years I have been using it.
