The vanilla games tutorial is wank lol

Better wank than cancer

That is hilarious. I can't believe units actually work like that.

Par for the course when Seal Team Donger is around.

Youve obviously had a ♥♥♥♥ experience. Milsim units are there to enhance fun.

If you actually read the thread, you would have noticed a lot of bad experiences. Milsim units are ideally good, but more often than not are jokes. The longest-lasting units are "Serious Fun" that like realism in mechanics but not hardcore realism in the structure of their own unit. Shacktactical, commonly considered to be a peak "Serious Fun" unit, for instance has lasted over a decade when the average Milsim unit cannot make it a month for a whole league of reasons.

you think arma 3 milsim are bad wait until you come in contact with an airsoft one...seriously grown men who haven't served acting like they have using military tactics in a bb gun war...it can be fun to "simulate" tactics and the like and run missions in a "realistic" way, however this like airsoft is a game and doesn't work 1 to 1 like real life and lets be honest the military isn't intended to be fun but rather functional. its about calculating the best plan in order to kill your opponent through the worst act that mankind has to offer.

games allow you to not be serious and experience a taste of war giving a slight adrenaline rush that many crave without the horrors of watching your friends arm get blown off by a grenade or an rpg. It allows one to understand war on a surface level so you can realize the total destruction and terror it brings while staying far enough away so it doesn't impact your life.

In short games like this shouldn't be taken too seriously. there are some serious themes in games like this like what was outlined very well in the laws of war mission, but at the end of the day games serve as a way to experience something or compete with others, and i don't really see many milsim units that have a sole focus of competing with one another. anyway remeber its just a game and should be played for fun, and if you are not having fun or feel like you are under pressure to participate in events against your will then you are in a milsim unit that has lost sight of the fact that this is a game and should probibly switch

You think an Airsoft milsim is bad? You've never seen a NERF milsim then.

My favorite are when NERF "milsims" composed entirely of on-the-spectrum nine year olds try to fight Airsoft milsims composed of on-the-spectrum twenty year olds who all dropped out of college and are too high on pot to aim a gun. It ends up being surprisingly balanced in spite of the overwhelming Airsoft performance advantage.

I have only had one experience with a milsim unit, and i have to say its a lot of fun. But it is the "serious fun" kind of Milsim, and not that cringy "realistic" type that a lot of people seemed to encounter here

yea...those are real fun...can be hard to find unless you know the right people though due to the overabundance of cringe level mislim groups that literally have people do mock pushups by laying down and standing um....i mean why. I can see doing a boot camp from a role play perspective and some of those can be fun, but its more in the way of why d&d is fun and the ones who did it well didn't do bs like pushups

I have to agree. Doing pushups in Arma is stupid and cringy, so im really lucky to find my unit
Mamluk's Honor Mar 8, 2019 @ 10:49am 
Fill out this paperwork and do an interview with our recruiter over Skype to get in my milsim, now you must do 100 push-ups over the Skype conference call and I don’t mean half ass push-ups either. Ok now don’t miss a day of ops or you’re banned, we do ops 7 days a week 8 hours a day. There is also a mandatory 5k run in-game you must do before every op, we also require you to stretch for 20 minutes and we have an hour before every op to choose loadouts while you have to sit there and watch if you finish early.
