Why is it so hard to hit in this game?

Seriously, there are times when you have to shoot them 10 times for them to die.

Do i have to predict where my bullets go when i shoot them from 25-50 meters away? Are we using soft air guns?

Holt, I love your response. Blood Sugar has a legitimate question and you just want him to join a clan. Oh and Blood Sugar, Its all what gun you use and difficulty you are on.

And telling everyone that you're player-hunting is a GREAT way to boost your recruiting! Oh, wait, I forgot to turn off sarcasm mode. -_-

To answer the original question, it's because Arma 3 is an unfinished game. Sure, it's updated frequently but they never fix the real problems like the armor system, the ridiculously underpowered weapons, and dozens of other things I could name.

They already said when it comes to weapons the MX strives over the Katiba but, when you look at armor CSAT have an advantage over NATO when it comes to protection.

I'm speaking about multi player, haven't played any single player.

SP and MP both have the same weapons and caliber "punch".

Because it is the future ARMA and the bulletproof vests are of the future,

Because the stamina system was implemented only fundamentally, exhaustion is simulated by weaponsway. The more one is out of breath, the more the weapon is inaccurate.

Injuries affect the accuracy, too. When you gets a first aid, you are often not fully recovered to 100% health.

Unlike to the previous games there is no simulation of bipods in the prown position. On the knees it has more wiggle as in the lie, the most you wiggle in the stand.

Needless to say that all these effects are accumulating.

You can define a key to simulate 'Hold breath', (normally together with the same key like 'Zoom')

Arma is one of thse games it takes a massive amount of playtime to become good with a regular assault rifle, even with an RCO or ACRO.
When fighting against OPFOR with a mx it usually only takes 3-4 body shots to take them down unless your fighting at really long ranges.

arma... easy to play, hard to master.

i agree. even with a 30 ping wasteland server, my bullets take sometimes 2 seconds to register. 2 SECONDS. it's nothing about the damage. i can put a whole magazine into an enemy before he even sees me. and by the time i'm on my last 2-3 bullets, he turns around and hits me one or two hits. and then i die instantly. if i look on the bottom left kills list, it shows that we both killed each other. it usually shows i killed them about 2 seconds later. this happens 4/5 times

What are you talking about? The AI is standing with its back infront of you, you lie down and are pumping 28 rounds of your mag into the target...and it turns to you and kills you with 2 rounds?

When you have such bad gaming experience on a '30 ping wasteland server', why don't you start to play _another mode_ at _another server_? Probably it is the continuous running script for the 'kills list at the botton left' causing this lag?

I have never heard before about such a bug. It can't be that you are the only one who has this effect! What are the other players doing differently, who are not affected?

[Erohw]

The real question is... what's your FPS in game... I bet it's ♥♥♥♥ and its the fps making you appear like the game is broken when really, it's just your computer... BUT, I don't know this... so let's play a game called post your computer specs and the level of quality you play the game on!

You'd be wrong, i play at 80-100 fps with a solid internet connection.

I like how he didn't really read what he was saying(nor did he even know wtf he is talking about)... He was CLEARLY talking about this happening against a player, not "AI". That could NOT of been more obvious, yeesh..

I have a comp meant to over kill this game(and many for a few years to come) and i have flawless FPS with a pretty good internet connection. I've seen that delay happen quite a few times after shooting someone down ontop of hearing other people talk about it as well.

But Mirudes, don't let that stop you from talking before pulling your head out of your a**. Because you clearly have some great ill-informed opinions to spew out..
