What would be best is if Sony/Microsoft, publishers, and developers would get their crap together and let the gamer choose how to control their games.
Gamepads aren't the best solution for every game except things like fighting, sports, and platform games.
Everything else:
1. First person shooters - mouse and keyboard/pad will always be better than gamepads - this is probably why you don't see pc/console cross play bc pc gamers on avergage would crush console players. The mouse controls that are out for consoles don't count because they have to emulate the stupid gamepad to work - which DOESN'T work well at all.
2. Flight sims - again, a proper stick flight control setup will crush a gamepad setup - just not on BOP due to the poor support - lack of rudder. As the pc market shrinks and console market expands - control options need to expand to meet the diverse needs.
3. Racing games - these suck on gamepads for a lot of people - but thankfully, console race fans haven't been ignored and they have many wheels available. IL2 BOP should at least give the same level of flight related options for sim fans. Including the playstation eye/natal head tracking support.

Dude the AV8R is a really good stick the rudder needs to be fixed but it is way better then the thrustmaster. Why, do you ask? well because the Thrustmaster has issues. you cant really look around with it i guess its a trade off yeah you can use the rudder the way it was intended but you cant look around you. with the AV8R you can still use the rudder but its either full left or full right but you can still use it and you are able to look around and spot targets.
