Is yoke better than stick for beginner/returning player? If yes which one to pick?

Welcome to the forums! :waving_hand:t2:

Really depends on how you fly and what your preferences are. Search the forums for Honeycomb and Turtle Beach and look through some of the posts and reviews here. Personally if I am flying an aircraft or helicopter with a Stick or Cyclic I use my HOTAS (Hands on Throttle and Stick.) But if I’m flying an aircraft with a yoke I have to use my yoke, I’m just particular like that. Best of both worlds.

Both yokes are excellent kits. Both have their draw backs as well. I prefer my TB V1 over my honeycomb as it has held up for 3 years and my honeycomb has not. (The flap lever had the infamous fail, and just flops now.) As well the issues Homeycomb has had as a company of late I’m staying clear of any of their other products, I don’t care how good they are, the reliability in the return processes and repair authorization has been awful. (It’s supposed to be better / cleared up now, but left me with a bad taste.)

There are a few mods to make with the TBV1 that can help the yoke not feel as “loose” as some people say. I really love my TB rudder pedals, they are super smooth and built more rugged than the yoke. I also love the vernier (push / pull) throttles on the TBV1. As said above any yoke will need a sturdy mount and a little bit of room for the yoke and throttle, and proper clamping / mounting.

It’s a great time for flight peripherals, so much is available and so many improvements are being made. Either option would be a great price of kit to add to your simming experience.

If you really want to shock your wallet you can look into Virpil’s new yoke. (Currently in kickstarter/crowd funding phase.) Virpil makes outstanding gear and the price point resembles that.

Stepping up from there is Force feed back peripherals, there are fewer yokes available with this tech but they are becoming more prevalent, but at a very, very high price point.
