Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 6
DCS World leans harder on execution: Precise stick-and-throttle handling and BFM have a high ceiling.
Reads4 vs 4
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance3 vs 2
DCS World leans harder on variance: Sensor fog of war and unseen contacts hide information.
Optimization8 vs 6
