Both Logitech and Microsoft make great joysticks

Microsoft Sidewinder

not 3d forcefeedback like my old one which cost me £80 bundled with FS2002 but it gets the job done

and i must say is very very smooth



Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything.

MS Sidewinder forcefeedback Pro ( the original one, not the USB one) Nice heavy joystick and it auto centres thanks to the finger sensor. Let go of the stick and it sense you have gone and recenters itself so you can go afk and fly along Although you will fly out the map and die if you leave it too long lol.

Best joystick you can get imo. It cost me £150 a few years ago but they're going for like £10 on Ebay now.

It's easier to use because it offers a resistance to your movements (even though forcefeedback doesn't work in BF2) So you can 'feel' when you;re diving too fast etc and 'feel' when you need to level out the chopper a bit.. It makes it easier to concentrate on shooting stuff instead of the flying.. or does for me anyway

nah bf2 doesnt support forcefeedback as such

the joystick will still resist/rumble etc... but not like in BF1942
