Far less to deal with than CLoD? Okay, you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, my friend.

CLoD, while involving and has a lot to deal with, is actually quite simple in terms of the technology behind the aircraft, systems etc. Yes, it might be easier to fly in the A10C since you do have systems helping you, but you have a VAST array of systems, functions and instruments you have to keep an eye on at all time, know how, when and when not to operate them, plus the fact that the AI takes absolutely no prisoners.

Comparing the two in terms of complexity is like comparing apples to bananas. Both are fruits, both grow on trees and both taste good, but that's where the comparison ends.

As Cheesehawk also mentions, it takes a damn lot more in order to accurately employ weapons in DCS:A10C than it does in CLoD, although CLoD isn't a slouch when it comes to that either.
