" Recommended system requirements: OS: Windows 7 64; CPU: Intel Core i7-970; RAM: 4+ GB; Graphics: 512+ MB ATI HD4850+ or nVidia GTX260+; Sound card; 6 GB of free space on HDD; Copy protected, requires internet activation; Joystick." I know the product is only in beta, however it's obvious the recommended system requirements need to be changed, in my opinion. Black Shark was pretty much exclusively single-threaded, from what I've heard, A-10C Warthog will be no different. Hence, it would be best to have the fastest processor in terms of single-threaded performance rather than overall multi-threaded performance. It therefore baffles me that the recommended system is a Core i7 970 which is a $900 hexacore processor. 85% of it will be sitting idle during DCS. Change it to the 3.4ghz (3.8ghz turbo) Intel Core i7 2600 or the 3.3ghz (3.7ghz turbo) Intel Core i5 2500. Both have higher single-threaded performance than even the i7 980X, yet cost significantly less. They also use less power. Core i5 2500 is $210 while Core i7 2600 is $300. The versions that can overclock (2500K & 2600K) to 4.5ghz on air cooling are $225 and $330 respectively. Just sayin 'cause I would hate for someone to blow $900 on a largely inferior processor.

Thanks for the video!!!

I want to see DCS as currently planned, as well as the future modules with new aircraft.

Of course, I am looking forward to any and all the aircraft, but the ones I would like the most are; F-16C, F-18, & Harrier. I wouldn't like the F-16A as it would be next to useless against Su-27 & Mig-29. Su-35 isn't in real numbers and would dominate almost everything in the sky... unbalanced...
