VR games are better when made as vr only games from the ground up(not including racing sim) Otherwise it will end up ruining Arma's style of game, Maybe you should try Onwards

There are third-party applications that enable a sort of pseudo-VR within Arma III, but the game does not support it natively and the best functionality you can reasonably get is "sitting in your chair with a box on your head". You're best off waiting until the arrival of both Arma IV and higher-resolution VR headsets that can handle the vast engagement distances of the game.

Yes VR is cool i got warthunder working and wow it looks like it could be amazing but the low ress and ppi is holding it back to pretty much unplayable levels in these kind of competative games. i think i will return this to argos tomorrow for a refund as the tech quality just is not here yet. need at least 1000 ppi to have a HD view. the current 461 just inst cutting it. Migbht even get a half price PS4 VR as my friend got one and i can mess around with that.

ArmA 3 is made with mouse and keyboard interface in mind, with optional joystick control for aircraft. It has VR support but it's unofficial. Like other suggest, for best VR experience, the game has to be built "ground up" for it (except if it's a vehicle sim type game, e.g. racing simulators and flight simulators).

Not VR, but the forerunner to it - ArmA 3 supports TrackIR head tracking and IMO better than most games that implement it.

Snipers would have a field day. Imagine trying to spot a guy in the right ghillie on Tanoa from a kilometer and a half away.

VR would make this game turn into pure gold.

VR aims for minimum 90fps to avoid folks puking all over themselves.
I would love to be a fly on the wall of someone playing this in MP VR lol.

You can go lower if you have your "VR Wings", but indeed, any beginner and intermediate better have a blazing computer and a turbocharged server, as well as a well made mission with few AI.

Well you sort of described me playing games with my son's Oculus Rift. I can last about 40 minutes max with that visor on before I'm too queasy to continue, and he has the super gaming rig to make it play at high frame rates with all the bells & whistles on. I can't even sit through a 3D movie, but I have to admit I could wear the Rift in comfort much longer than I'd expected. TrackIR head tracking is more my speed and the novelty of the enhanced experience it delivers, still hasn't warn off for me.

I must say though, that having spent some time with that Epic game where assassin robots pop up and jump out of no where at you, VR hardware is impressive. Despite not being able to wear it long enough to play through a decent length session, I can certainly see why some fans of ArmA MP would want to game with VR.
