DCS world is my go to game for any situation. Girlfriend driving you nuts? DCS world. Kids make you want to bomb an airfield? DCS World. Family coming from out of state for a visit? DCS world. Bottom line, DCS world makes all life's problems melt away. In fact I believe that all world political situations and disagreement should be solved with a 1v1 guns only match on NTTR. Thank you ED for giving us world peace.
Basically DCS is a great game, I love flying around the maps just relaxing, when I want some combat I jump into a multiplayer server (obligatory Through The Inferno shout out) and when I just want to hang out with friends we jump into on of the missions we made or our multiplayer server and just have fun. The game itself is definitely a bit of a money pit, but the enjoyment you will get out of the modules, planes and helicopters will make it more than worth it.
