At high altitude I think both look great and have their pros and cons.. The DCS engine starts to show it's age the lower you go.

I can't put my finger on it.. but I agree.. Something about it looks cartoonish.. I think it has to do with the scaling.. For example, in IL-2, when flying around, did you ever ask yourself.. Why can I see more airfilelds than farms? CoD kind of has that fake look to it too..

Only time will tell.. They said the same thing about CoD a few years ago!
