SU-33 carrier ops, AAR, a strike, BVR, and dogfighting.. all using an Xbox controller

In my journey to research which aircraft are adequately usable with only an Xbox One controller, I thought I'd shoot straight for the most complicated FC3 aircraft and work my way down. Turns out... it's fully capable of:

 

- Carrier Ops

- Air-to-air Refueling

- Ground attack

- BVR (EO, RWS/TWS, Freq select, radar elevation)

- Dogfighting (also helmet mounted site)

 

And all this strictly using only the gamepad, with the exception of radio calls to contact tanker.

Nice! Shows that a $X00 HOTAS setup isn't strictly required to have fun & do well in the game :thumbup:
