"I've been using the OG vive with my A51m R1 for over a year now with no regrets."

"If you want the best experience, you'll need a good gaming PC and Vive or Oculus."

"Psvr2! The headset rumble in for example Madison and RE Village is SO much more than a gimmick!"
"PSVR2 is the headset I use exclusively for horror games. The oled panels make all the difference."
"Definitely psvr2 it's a great system for horror."

"If you want a very good VR headset with great resolution (which is important for spotting in dcs) I'd personally go for the Reverb G2"
"If money isn't an issue, G2 all the way. No need to buy 312381 accessories, all in one package, prettiest screens in all of VR."
"HP Reverb for highest resolution."
"Reverb G2 is the cheapest, but you could get a base station headset to get into that e"
"The HP Reverb 2 is (or just was last week) on sale right now for $200 off. I ordered one but haven't tried it yet."
"Either hp reverb g2 or valve index. The latter has worse resolution but better FOV and edge-to-edge clarity. If only for DCS - reverb."
"More sim-level quality and less eye-strain means reverb g2."
"I'd say go with a WMR headset."
"HP backpack PC. With extra battery packs."
