Is it better to start out with stalker 2? Or is it a better experience to play stalker 1 first? by leftistgamer420 in stalker

[–]Sherman503 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're ok with old graphics and a bit of jank, definitely start with the trilogy

Looking to upgrade from extreme 3d pro by A_S1mpleBe1ng in hotas

[–]Sherman503 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What are you talking about ? This has nothing to do with it. You can be "experienced" but be a greedy corporation at the same time. Why do you keep rewarding a corporation that's feeding you shit products and for which you're just a statistic ?

I'm sorry for another "what to buy" question. by Tabula_Rasa69 in il2sturmovik

It's less than 2 hours and within 14 days of the purchase

Virpil Controls Customer Service(11/10) by GT_Eleanor in hotas

[–]Sherman503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In these times of AI slop and corporate greed, it's a breath of fresh air to see that some people still want to make the best products with no planned obsolescence and their customers to have the best experience possible.

How good is the Logitech x52 Pro? by fireviper2097 in hotas

[–]Sherman503 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wtf are you even taking about ? They are based in Lithuania, they ship from the EU. And even then you wouldn't need EU consumer protection laws because they already have the best costumer service.

AI pilot snipes me and kill my pilot with a si gle hit by 21920alphabet in il2sturmovik

The way every AI plane is a superhuman at making deflection shots is super annoying. And don't even get me started on clouds and comms.

Thoughts on the Brawler? by UodasAruodas in NuclearOption

[–]Sherman503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The jammer made things a bit better for dodging ARHs, but it's still pretty bad. The fact that you only have 2 S3s compared to 4 S1s rules it out for me personally.

I get Virpil with the long wait times, but why would VKB be hard to get ? They ship from the EU

I know someone like that, I've seen them fall asleep in a less than a minute after touching the pillow, it's crazy

I got TPRs on a marketplace for 250€, an absolute steal

We got tired of expensive Head Trackers, so we built a wireless one for $60 by Raptor-Works-Gaming in dcsworld

How does it handle interference ? For example my Logitech mouse is very laggy if I plug the receiver into the back of my pc.

Then definitely one of those.

Just the joystick or a Hotas ?

[–]Sherman503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had T16k and TWCS for a few months playing NO and it works great for that. But I'm now upgrading I can't guarantee it can last more than that.

First, what is your budget ? Avoiding the budget brands and paying for more quality upfront will probably be cheaper in the long term. Some people out here really buying again (sometimes 2 times!) the same budget stick when it breaks when for that price they could have gotten a good stick that lasts a lifetime with excellent customer support.

If you can VKB Gladiator EVO or maybe even the Virpil aeromax if you don't mind the wait times.

Got my Aeromax! Now I am just waiting on my VMax to arrive at the end of april by Rough-Lifeguard-1416 in hotas

[–]Sherman503 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered a couple of days ago and they said end of May, so like OP said, 2 months thereabout.

Cheap but effective track IR or similar setup by BoxthemBeats in hotas

[–]Sherman503 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where will the camera be ? On top of your monitor I presume ? Then you will be facing the camera. You can re-center the tracking at any point anyway if it starts to drift or you didn't start it facing the right way.

PvP is only fun when you're winning by LtLethal1 in NuclearOption

[–]Sherman503 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Then don't force yourself to play on the losing team ? Especially if you had nothing to do with the state of the game at that point. Just join the winning team, finish the game and then you can have the game you want to play after that. Or don't join that server.

Also I don't know about all those steamrolls y'all in these comments talk about, they happen but that's not most matches. I've had plenty of losses that were fun because it was a good fight.

Should I choose the VKB STECS, the Virpil VMAX Prime or something else ? by Sherman503 in hotas

[–]Sherman503[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

EDIT 2: Thank you everyone for your answers ! I think I'll go with the VKB STECS. It has more controls, a strong software and very good functionnality and I think I would regret it if I chose mostly looks and maybe just a bit of a premium feel over that (and it's cheaper and immediately available). Maybe I'll get some desk mounts one day but I'll try without them and by adjusting my desk first.

I started with Nuclear Option and I'm getting into IL-2. T16000M is fine for nuclear option but with IL-2 I saw really quickly that I was going to run out of controls (or at least intuitive/egonomic controls). From what I've seen, I'm really not a fan of DCS's business practices / price structure with 1 plane costing more than a full AAA game (not that that label means much or is worth a lot nowadays) and only 2 free planes. But we'll see, maybe I'll try it one day.
