Not sure why you're being downvoted but the arguments over DCS can be just as bad. It's just not as big as Warthunder or World of Tanks, so the noise doesn't generate as much attention.
Still, I think DCS keeps most of it out of the public view, and Eagle Dynamics does a good enough job of trying to keep things as realistic as possible without including classified mechanics. Most of the retired pilots who have some nitpicks and gripes with the craft usually are keen enough to recognise that the aeronautics are close enough and don't need to breach laws to accomplish the intended task.
DCS has an equipment/skill requirement that keeps most of those types out. It takes a long time to get good at it, and you'll never really get there without some kind of HOTAS setup, and usually an expensive one. War Thunder is essentially a mobile game with zero barriers to entry, so it's going to be open to literally anyone.
Also, he's being downvoted because it's Gizortnik, and a lot of people on this sub hate him and based their votes on that and not the content of the post.

There were multiple major leaks to DCS because nerds in defense were angry that their sim game didn't map weapons correctly.
