What HOTAS do you suggest for a PC playing RB Ground. .Keyboard is OK, but I need to be quicker
Don’t think a Hotas will be an improvement on keyboard.
theres no hotas that works well for ground (if your in a plane though would suggest the Thrustmaster T-fight with pedals its the one I have and it worked great until a month or two ago when hotas broke for console players)
I know it’s a bit late for a replay, but in the spirit of better late than never, here are my experiences.
I use the CH-USB Throttle and the CH-USB Pedals in RB Battles and am very happy with the results so far.
The tank/turret control as well as the firing of the guns is still done via the mouse,
while the brakes are controlled via the pedal as well as forward and backward movement via the throttle.
I also use the CH throttle for the following scenarios due to its wide range of possibilities:
- Zoom
- Controlling the chains for steering (slightly faster turning than when braking)
- marker, night vision, map and other things that require keyboard input
Moving forwards/backwards is a bit tricky because the throttle reacts a bit insensitively here, but can be implemented quite well.
The throttle is also well suited for flying in an airplane for all kinds of shortcuts
and supporting the movements with its small joystick
The immersion when playing is definitely huge and no comparison to keyboard input.
Only the software of the CH products is a bit tricky and has to be restarted every time the computer is started, but even here some useful adjustments can be made
I hope i could give one or the other WT player useful infos in dealing with hotas in RB battles
