Help choose joystick for WarThunder

[Jovan93]

Which is better of these few?

Saitek Cyborg 3D Gold Joystick (I can buy it used for 20e)

Saitek Cyborg V.1 Joystick (used 10e)

Logitech Attack 3 Joystick (used 8e)

Thrustmaster Top Gun Fox 2 Pro USB (used 10e)

Genius MetalStrike Pro (Around 15e used)

It depends on what you like, much like keyboard and mice selection. I like the Saitek brand, they have a solid build feel in the products I owned from them.

I actually did go with Saitek Cyborg V.1, it was a good choice. Cheap and to me pretty design, only one down side is that it was not lubed enough. I had to strip the whole thing, clean and apply oil (cooking oil ).

I have a Logitech Attack 3. Won it in a World of Warplanes contest by shooting down a Dev.

How is it performing?

for me, just fine. needs tweaking to your specific style, but works great.

I have little trouble setting up the joystick. Don't know how to polish the movement in game, any tips? It's all over the place when i try to maneuver.

thats what you need to tweak. one important thing about flight sticks, as compared to the mini joysticks on an XBox or Playstation controller is sensitivity, you can do *slight* maneuvers more readily.

Ufff, i was thinking this will be just plug 'n' play There is a lot more in it then i thought. Gonna search the web for some profiles or tweaks.

Joystick controls are really messy in War Thunder, and you pretty much have to set separate sensitivity profiles for each aircraft. If you're not flying Simulator Battles, you might as well not even bother with a joystick. If you are flying Simulator Battles, you're just going to have to do a lot of trial and error to get the controls working properly on each aircraft.

Yes i noticed that, i found some profile for controls for my joystick made by someone, P-40 behaves good with it, then i hop in some other plane and it's just messed up. I'm trying to learn simulator battles, they are much more fun then regular ones just because there is no labels and planes can be shot down much easily.

Hey, guys! One question. With what can i lube this joystick? Because cooking oil wears off pretty fast and the thing starts "jamming" while i go left and right.

I marked the trouble spot. Maybe some WD-40? I can disassemble the whole thing again and lube every thing again. If you have some tips, please share them with me. Thanks!
