I have a joystick with Twistgrip (old MS ffb) which is sufficient for Rise of Flight and WOFF, however i take it you need some kind of collective for a helicopter to properly 'fly' it ? Would be interesting to hear from your experience with the shark..
I have an X52 with a twist rudder and that handles the Sharkie just fine, the most important thing to learn is the trim system, get that right and the Ka50 is really nice to fly, it's nice to be able to hover and analyse a situation from a constant distance, with the A10C you need to autopilot a lazy circle to do that and then fight with the camera on the TGP which keeps getting blocked by the fuselage or a Maverick...so by the time you've located that SA-8 launcher you've already accidentally blundered into his engagement circle and turned into a Wild Weasel.
