DCS is a damn simulator dude, don't compare it to it. Both great games just not comparable.

I'd love you to share it

I mostly agree with you, i hope he can add the Freeflight mode pretty soon. Since I think that's not too hard. Now I just fly away as quick as possible in the missions and go fly some. ;p

The wingman does do something. After the entire level you'll see he might have shot down 1-2 or maybe even 3 aircraft! i know its not a lot, but its mainly about you ay? Because you used alot of missiles if you were out of em! ;P

When in cockpit view u can see where the missile is coming from.

I agree with some things, but the three kinds of different missiles is something i really like about it, they all have a different way of how to use them.  And for me, the settings do save so i guess you have multiple maps with data or something. ;P

Flares are already in the game - H

If u press Leftclick there is a cannon.

I don't know about the other stuff, but hope you will play some more and understand it a bit more!
