holle20 Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 Hello, I'd like to buy DCS A-10C Warthog (PC) and I have to know what joystick I should use. Could you please recommend one or two? Thank you in advance.

taxman1 Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 Just this weekend I installed my HOTAS Warthog and Saitek Combat Pro Rudders, for me this is great set up. A bit pricey but if you can go for it.
Cali Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 Depends on what you play, if you play A-10C then the choice would be the warthog. If you play everything then it's up to you. I have CH and love it, I've tried the Cougar about 4-5 different times and have always sold them and went back to CH. One thing I don't like.....wait and kinda hate about CH is the throttle. I don't know why CH won't make a new one! I haven't tried the warthog so I can't comment on it. As for CH, the programming is awesome, you can do anything with it and it's easy once you get the hang of it. Foxy for the Cougar isn't hard and I have not seen how TARGET for the warthog works. i7-4820k @ 3.7, Windows 7 64-bit, 16GB 1866mhz EVGA GTX 970 2GB, 256GB SSD, 500GB WD, TM Warthog, TM Cougar MFD's, Saitek Combat Pedals, TrackIR 5, G15 keyboard, 55" 4K LED
Swaty Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 IMAO depends on budget! I have had almost everything from TM (Cougar, T16000, Warthog etc) and I am very satisfied! Now I use Warthog + Cougar + Simpeds) for IL-2, A-10, Ka and P-51 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] My Pit
