CobraKhan Posted June 18, 2020 Posted June 18, 2020 Does Thrustmaster sell the Warthog Base and F-18 Flight Stick together as a package? I see where it is possible to purchase them separately @ $150+$203, but was wondering if that is the only way? Appears you get the A-10 package together for about $240.
Supmua Posted June 18, 2020 Posted June 18, 2020 Not that I know of. The F-18 stick is a pretty new product so don't expect discount anytime soon. I'm still waiting for their TPR rudder to come down in price so I might grab one and it still hasn't for the past few years. Amazon is currently selling the Warthog base for $149.99, so that A-10 package seems like a decent deal for the F-16C and A-10C fans. However, the F-18 grip is really good especially if you like flying the Hornet. PC: 5800X3D/4090, 11700K/3090, 9900K/2080Ti.

shu77 Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 Yeah the original product was the A-10C. Then they offered the base separate to the sticks. doesn't surprise me that theres not a discount for that.

rob10 Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 Not a fan of the way they are currently pricing this, but I'll agree that the F-18 grip is really nice. The buttons clicks etc are just a little bit nicer than the A-10 and it's just a nice stick. I had the A-10 stick before the F-18 came out and bought it after the fact.
