1st person or 3rd person?

[AZ]

just curious what what perspective everyone likes to play in? Wondering if I'm in the minority- I only play 1st person only servers. Reason being that it's more immersive and I like the fact if I get shot it's because I was exposed and someone had a line of sight on me. I don't like that in 3rd person view you can see over walls and around corners while being completely hidden from the enemy

1st ftw.

but I'm happy for those who prefer 3rd.

Servers I play on are locked to 1st for infantry but you can 3rd for vehicles and until someone brings out a mod to make mirrors work properly in vehicles then 3rd person is essential to vehicle movements.

1st person due to obvious reasons. 3rd person allows you to see things that you really shouldnt, for example seeing beyond a corner without exposing a cm of your body. Reforger has enough of unrealistic design choices even without the 3rd person peeking.

That said, 3rd person has its place in the game, its been a feature since OFP.

1st mostly (cuz servers I play on allow only 1st D: )

I've seen someone adjusting their position in crawling stance using 3rd person once so 3rd person view has it uses.

Ofc it provides better maneuverability with vehicles

1st only. 3rd person is for console. I heard Arma 4 is going to be crossplay as well as being side scroll.

1st person is the only real thing here, one could live with 3rd person only for vehicles

otherwise 3rd person could be exploited to much wich makes no sense in such a game

First person for all gunplay especially in buildings, third person is really only for information gathering, sometimes cheesy advantage.

Set a server to first person only and you will weed out the undesirables quickly.

1st for infantry and 3rd for most vehicles (Attack choppers I use 1st to aim better) works best imo. Having a much narrower FoV than in real life makes driving feel claustrophobic and the lack of visibility makes it easy to hit stuff.

and turn based combat

[Ibuprofen]

I play only play on first person only servers. That is how arma is supposed to be played.

[A TIN OF JAR]

I just play 1st person but a fella I play with switches to 3rd person when driving or flying.

[long chin man]
