ARMA is absolutely not a simulation

[Magnifico]

Its not even close to the reality of combat. Frankly its not better than call of duty. But this comes directly from the AI rather than the gameplay. Either your unit gets wiped out in 5 seconds from 1000 yards or its the other way around. never any lengthy shootouts or any sense or logic used at all. Tired of being spotted 5km away in the night by an AI militia with no night equipment that then hits their first and only shot.

Yep, AI has always been bad.

It's a military sandbox as stated on the store page, Not a Simulator

Tho op's problems are clearly noob world problems

The problem is that you're playing against AI. The only way a true 'simulation like' game play could be achieved would be through a well coordinated grouped PVP. Unfortunately that would take time, planning, collaboration, and would be unlikely on a vanilla experience.

In addition to the above there would also need to be 'real' consequences if your die in game. As in consequences in the physical world. I remember a while ago hearing of scripts in other games that would delete a random file somewhere on your computer after each time your are killed in game.

Dude, you obviously don't know much about the game. It is not meant to be played base. It is the Roblox/Gmod of shooters, and YOU have to make it into a simulator. Look for milsim units, they often have advanced AI mods which greatly improve the experience along with better communication and medical systems. Base game is just the building blocks of creators, like myself, who have created a milsim community and host weekly events. No game can beat it

[CW2 P. Larkins]

actually it IS a simulation op: a simulation of how much a single game community can be fragmented into tiny subsections that never increase in size (the answer is a LOT )

Warzone crack😂😂😂😂

The "problems" u describe rely TOTALY on the settings u can change for AI. No mods needed.

Play pvp you noobs than it es a simulation. So typical bmodern mainstreamkiddies cry all the time when a game have not high-end-grafic and not run with a lot of frames like simple-action-shooter.
Real armies train with a modified version of arma3(engine) . Called VBS i mean.
No other game have so a complex editor and no other game have so many different option for the gamesettings (night/day,different weather and a lot of more).

And the content is awesome too. And when you configure the grafic-settings of arma3 you can run it very smooth (not so smooth like sh.. simple-shooter of course)
Arma3 is NOT an action-shooter and dont required high frames. I remember of the operation-flashpoint time...there it was normal to play with ca. 30 frames.

But all the kiddies are only cryind and are much too silly to see the different between real tactial shooter and mainstreammess like insurgency sandstorm (look only at the idiotic rambo-gameplay there).

And all the kiddies are much too silly too what kind of game arma3 is.
It will not simulate the different vehicles (air,land,sea) very accurate. The arma/ofp-serie will simulate how to work the different units together and simulate military tactics.

For example: Before end a tank in towns send first infantrie. Sry to hard for me all to explain in english....but in short words arma will simulate how to work all units in a war together.

And all the different weapons/system of the game is awesome too. Think the most dont know how to use a drone and A L L the other kind of weapon usage.

Or all the different movement/stances of your units you will not find in any other game too.
So yes,Arma3 isd a simulation. And it is not arma fault when most kiddies play arma as a simple mainstream-mess like KOTh,EPOCH,Altis-LIFE ect.
Learn to configure the grafic-settings and play gamemodes like CTI/warlords with the right player and you can have a lot of fun.

But so typical...set perhaps all settings on very high/ultry and play in (total overhyped) 4K resolution and cry than.

Sure the engine is not the fastest but for such kind of game the engine is good enough. Better to play a game with an older engine but a gread gameplay and awesome content instead of simple-shooter they will be run smooth (and the most dont have an editor.

Stop crying and go back to your other mainstreammess like COD,PUBG ect and be happy you have there a better engine.

Human rock&roll wars are lame. Here, earths most rare perionic elements cant be found as cant be extracted from other elements to become right. Scientist are trying to predict what they would bring to us but are not sure. But no doubt that thise tech could be interesting for this game in general even that we dont know what exactly would evole out of this. I never liked battlefied kz I dont do godknows what drugs I guess. In game I would only like to sit a command military vehicle to give commands as going out for some cigaret. Changeing signal channels, dealing with jams and signal ranges, cracking codes, drive to a nice hill spots, being blown off,... Wouldnt that be cool feature in Arma4 or what ?

[Chariothe]

For AI aspect, I think it varies from stupid but cheat at the same time to great depending on type of scenario and configs. I'm making sector control scenario where you can play like call of duty, Fast paced and AI move from sector to sectors, combined with some AI mods, they feel really great to play with and fair game because they won't one tap me in the head or see me through wall anymore. ASR ai mod also has function to make ai randomly falls down when hit(not fall down like unconscious but the ctrl+s-->a/d action which they fall on their side and still shooting back)it makes AI behavior more fun to play with, but yeah, in scripted scenario most ai mod will break those scenario.

naw my guy you just have to larp harder dude, Arma has a million mods however just about NONE of it works , the problem is yes with the AI furthermore the the terrains are absolute garbage , if there where smaller terrains with like you know better functionality the game would be way better , i always said Arma is like a north Korean candy shop , everything inside is FAKE and doesn't work ,however everything looks neat i will say , just needs a proper terrain to play on , the constant copy and paste rolling hills on every map just make me sick , what was interesting is the GM mod was FLAT as SGT Smashs girlfriend , and i mean FLAT that was the only good terrain in this games like 20 year history and it was CDLC , go figure the devs of this game are not very nice people

Bruh you guys got baited. This guy's clearly baiting you.

idk, seems pretty realistic to me.
