Hey, think a hotas is worth it for flying heli’s? (And a few other games)

Yes 100% I think its worth, of course I’m biased, but especially with war thunder flying helicopters with a joystick set up is %1000 times more enjoyable than mkb. You’re able to do more with them too like in the clip, be able to hold accurate hovers, shift laterally at will, aim your rockets without the need to drift forwards, etc etc.
Games like nuclear option are cheap and fun and a joystick is good there, and then you have dcs of course, and IL-2, and combat pilot coming out in a few years hopefully. Lots and lots of good flight sims to make getting a joystick worthwhile. And of course if you stick to war thunder, air sim can be a lot of fun with it.

Thought of another solution ontop of the one I suggested, simply just increase the rewards for prolonged activity in a match.
That way you club two seals with one swing;
- More RP for the dedicated players
- Incentive for players to stick around
I’m know this has already been suggested numerous times before (maybe in this very thread, i’m unsure) however its definitely worth mentioning again.
Most helicopter blades would absolutely destroy a small scout drone and remain flying irl. It’s ridiculous that it counts as a crash and gets you crew locked.

Scout drones should not respawn either.

I was hoping you would have the drone “sound effect” again 😂

SO much better now 🤣
Seriously though, they HAVE to at LEAST fix is so that you don’t get crew locked from “crashing”. And again I say this as a light tank enjoyer, playing light tanks ~90% of the time. It is NOT balanced or fair that the recon drones can punish heli pilots like that 💀
Or worst case “fix” would be to just remove physics between recon drones and heli rotor blades, if they can’t/don’t want to/wont apply any of the suggestions we have all posted in this thread.
