- Damage model: Practically nonexistent, with no real damage being simulated except fuel leaks and your wings getting blown off. I put this at the top of the list because I cannot see how you can have a digital combat simulator without combat damage being simulated.

This is locked while I investigate.

Just an update on this, with the help of a real-world Crew Chief I and testing out different survivable damage states within DCS and trying to determine what would be the resulting indicators and effects. My first report is some 30mm hits, loss of a leading edge flap, and the tip of that same wing. I do not have a timeline on when this might be looked at, and what can be done with our currently less complex damage model compared to the WWII one.
