It was so revolutionary in it's time that thanks to the Allied Force reboot, it's still the benchmark of any modern combat simulator. It's unlike anything you've ever played before.īack in 1998, Microprose released Falcon 4, a title which dwarfed all previous sims in complexity. While some might miss the furious air-to air combat possibilities of other planes, the A-10 more than makes up in fun and tactical brain-crunching, thanks to amazingly simulated systems and random Close Air Support. It's a joy to fly in, stable and forgiving, maneuverable enough to get out of dogfights and the nemesis of any ground target. While a russian attack helicopter (the Blackshark) might not be the most glamorous (or easy to handle and learn) choice, the A-10c ground attack plane is.

The DCS series (Blackshark and A-10) represents the nirvana of modern combat flight simulators. If other flight sims haven't manage to catch you, fear not, DCS A-10 has the best chance to snare you into the world of hardcore sims. Buy it even just to taunt you from the shelf, reminding you why real pilots are superhuman why you're just another lazy beer hog who gets dizzy from having to push 3 buttons at a time. Just to put things into perspective, my Falcon 4 box gathered 5-6 years of dust before I finally decided to try it again, back in 2005, and it literally changed my life.
It has a superb arcade mode that you can get into the fire from the start and you'll never know when the sim bug will byte you. But even if you're just taking a break from FIFA or Mortal Kombat, even if you've only played Hawks, this is still a title you should look into. You've already mastered some combat flight simulator and you're familiar with how much effort and patience is required to play these sims. Since you're reading this, chances are you already know the difference between TWS and RWS, CCIP and CCRP. By the way, why doesn't Gamespot review this gem?

Since writing this review, two patches have solved tons of issues and the game now has a splendid manual (the old one was from the beta days I guess). By karamazovnew | Review Date: AugEDIT: I've just bumped the score to 10.
