War thunder sim battles

[Cantaloupeman]

I would really like to try out sim battles in war thunder. If i go buy a joystick at a thrift store what do i need to look for in one?

it needs to be fairly easy to make fine adjustments with and it should have some thumb buttons and a trigger, thats about all you NEED, you probably want  some way of controlling throttle tho, either on the joystick or separate

Will I be able to tell if I can make fine adjustments in the store?

if you can try it out then yah, you need to be able to make small movements with it  basically, thats all  mine can do that but i know of ones that have problems with it, you want if to be fairy light to move around or atleast just not super hard, because then it will take more force and then its easier to over do your motions

this is what i have, the thing at the bottom is a lever i use for the throttle, its pretty good, it has plenly off buttons too and its pretty easy to move. try to get something like this. the model is a Saitek ST290 Pro if you were wondering, its pretty cheap and plastic but also pretty good for the price if you can find one used.
