Connie, it's a nice shot of a damaged A-10: lots of bullet hole decals and a missing wingtip. However, I'm not convinced that each and every bullet hole signifies precise damage internally depending on the angle, degree of penetration, and nature of penetration (ie. AP, incendiary, FMJ ball, explosive head, inert shrapnel) as it does in CoD. CoD takes into account the precise locations of hydraulic lines, fuel cells, fuel lines, coolant lines if applicable, wiring, control lines, oil lines if applicable, ammo bays, etc.). This is a well-documented aspect of Cliffs of Dover which I believe this extreme level of complexity is not to be found in any current air combat simulation, including DCS-A10 -- pretty damage pictures notwithstanding.
BTW, I installed the current 280 Nvidia driver but did not detect any appreciable difference good nor bad with my modest GTX 285 card.
