It varies based on your configuration. Mice and keyboards usually have gimbals, while hotas use fixed mounts. Regarding equipment, the latest trends for booms and zooms seem to favor sledges.
CommanderFett noted that weapon choice depends on personal taste, like favoring Badgers for quick, rapid fire or Omni for powerful, slower shots. It's best to combine weapons with similar projectile speeds or use varied weapon types. The key is discovering what works best for you.
Sledges are getting a notable reduction in power this update, shifting them from overpowered to more balanced. I expect adjustments later will improve their performance and make them solid choices. They’re a small size 1 weapon, still effective if you line up your shots carefully—perfect for mouse users who aren’t focused on high ROF. The Omniskys remain solid options; using them on OS6 or with a gimbal on OS3 should work well. If aiming isn’t your strong suit and you prefer a more casual style, fixed weapons like the fixed badgers or gimbaled bulldogs are just as effective. As Fett mentioned, the choice between gimbaled and fixed ultimately comes down to your controller setup. With a joystick, gimbals let you move them freely, so fixed weapons work better; with a mouse, precision improves but you’ll need smaller arms.
