I am pretty sure the horse is long dead here. Most of this thread is various people repeating their point of view.

No offense to anyone, since all of you have, at some level, valid complaints/compliments.

DCS is, foremost, an aircraft simulator, not a combat simulator, which BMS does better (from an entertainment perspective). It can simulate combat, but only in some very restricted ways. Hopefully, once v2.5 is released, they will do more to expand the realism of the combat side.

BMS is definitely a better experience for many as DCS is for others. It depends on what the user is looking for.

It is what it is, and hopefully, both will be even better in the future.
