Anyway Im getting this game for a Ps3 and was wondering, Which is the best joystick?

Any better ones?? Thanks 4 input

Just read the other threads and decide which one sounds best for you. for ps3 you can choose between the Saitek AV8R-03 and the Thrustmaster sticks (with or without HOTAS) . At the moment in the demo both Saitek and TM have different drawbacks. I'd wait untill we get some feedback on how the sticks perform in the full game before choosing.

Thrustmaster for PS3 = best in the business.

Hori Ace Edge for 360 = best in the business.

Last thing I will ever have to say about it, it's kinda been done. But, he was apologetic at the start of the thread so please don't chew all over his ass for it.

Humm AV8R-03 Looks hard 2 use.... Grrr i dunno aaarrrrhhh

You could go to a PC World or something, they usually have some joysticks lined up for you to get a feel of them. The HOTAS Thrustmaster is probably the best bet for PS3 as the rudder works as analog. If the developers have managed to get the hat to work 8 ways it will be allmost perfect.

One of my best friends whom I have played online with for more than a decade uses the AV8R to great effect on the 360. I have both the Ace Edge and AV8R and all I could really say is that it's a matter of preference. AV8R isn't hard to use, it's just a light stick. Some people prefer that, though. It's like one of the differences between flying a Cessna 172 and a Cessna 182 (don't f'in go off on that, we're only talking controllability people). The 172 has light controls that are easy to move. The tradeoff is that it can be pretty squirrely in the wind and it responds to every little thing. Some pilots like that, some don't. I fly a 182, not only for all the extra power, but also having much heavier controls leads to greater stability. It takes more effort to get it to do something, but it will do it quite well every time. You just have to decide if you want to fly all twitchy like, which could actually help some in a combat scenario, most fighters are inherently unstable, or if you want a steadier gun platform that will get on target and stay on target. Let me put that a different way: You can either go for winning your fights by rapid maneuvering and snap shooting, or you can win your fights by taking longer to work into position and then creating a lead wall for them to fly into. It's what you prefer vs. your capabilities. Some people can't pull off the jerky maneuvers and react fast enough to make a kill shot like that. Some can and just prefer the walls of lead.
