A comparison between Hotas Cougar and Warthog

[bird-1]

I got a hotas warthog at the beginning of last year and a cougar several days ago, now I am very glad to share my comparison opinions here:

 

Some pictures first:

 

 

 

 

 

 

My comparison opinions:

1, The joystick of hotas warthog is much better than cougar's, for cougar, the button is flabbier and back-to-center structure is heavier, and you will feel much better when you yaw or pitch through hotas warthog;

 

2, The back-to-center structure of cougar is like a cross or something, you can choose to yaw or pitch but you cannt choose to do yaw and pitch at the same time, but you can do them both on hotas warthog, it is a big difference between them, of course you can change the structure of cougar yourself if you want;

 

3, Hotas warthog is designed for A-G aircraft A10C and hotas cougar is for A-A aircraft F16, it is a bull shit but may be ignored when you choose your input equipment, in my opinion, hotas warthog is really not fit for A-A aircraft because their is no roller on its throttle, using a button to adjust the rader vertical is not efficiency enough during furious fight, but if you have a cougar already, you can use it to fly A-G aircraft, of course fly A10C with hotas warthog is reallly enjoyable, another bull shit.

 

4, Most of past time I use the joystick of hotas warthog pair with the throttle of X52 pro , now , I have a cougar, I will send my X52 Pro to my friend.
