Can I buy this with a base? Or do I already need to have one?

You Need a base, as well. (Pay attention to the connection of the power and the threading/ interfacing to the base you choose.) Heads up- Virpil is backordered 8 weeks plus if you can wait. Thrustmaster base works just fine. I recommend getting the extension, and doing center stick.

Does this stick offer a Z or twist axis?

This is an add on fligh stick for the Hotas Warthog (you can search Amazon for ASIN B00371R8P4). There isnt a "twist" incorporated in to this product as it is designed to be used with rudder pedals like the Thrustmaster TFRP or Thrustmaster TPR pedals.

We know that it's phisically different from the A10 joystick, but is there a difference in handling amd feeling?

It is not, the F-16C flight stick it is exactly the same as the A-10C flight stick that comes with the TM Warthog Hotas., same feel, same button layout, same exact dimensions, the only one that is physically different with a different feel and button layout is the F-18 flight stick.

Will there ever be an option to get the grip with the base? I have no need for the A-10 grip

Check out these bases (https://virpil-controls.eu/shop/bases.html), they are directly compatible with the Thrustmaster sticks and are extremely high quality. You may have to wait depending on which one you want.
