So which stick do you like for AH3? Also WarThunder, the realistic and full on sim modes though lol, no arcade BS for me lol 
I prefer a very, very light stick (as in CH Figher/Combat stick sort of light) for AH, the stick gets moved around an awful lot in WW2 pvp games, and I find I just prefer it this way after 20+ years of doing so. It's a bit more difficult to get the Virpil sticks that light (it can be done with aftermarket springs and messing around with the cams, using the Cosmo/space cams and a very light spring will do it), but the VKB Gunfighter has springs in the box that allow you to make it even lighter than the CH (I use the 2nd lightest springs myself and it's pretty much a CH analogue so far as the force needed to move the stick).
Using a TM Warthog or preferably Cougar stick (Cougar has the pinky switch in a better spot for larger hands, big time), on top of a Virpil Warbrd base, even with stock springs, makes a pretty light motion as well.
So I either use the VKB Gunfighter, or a Virpil Warbrd base with the Cougar stick handle and an aftermarket spring for AH3, at least I did when I was still flying AH3, and will again when I start playing this game again. Some prefer a stiffer stick though, and the T50 or stock Warbrd would be perfect for this game as well, all of these newer sticks from former Soviet republics are very, very accurate.
