the milsim aspect does not fit the game

[I3o0M]

without the forced milsim aspect the game would be x100 times better

[Vivianite]

mods are coming, you can fix that when they drop

[ImKrazyK]

I keep hearing people refer to this as a MILSIM. But what exactly makes it a MILSIM? Arma is a MILSIM. This is just an MMO FPS.

[Schmocka]

yup, these people obviously did just never play any milsim at all :D like just because its military themed doesnt make it a milsim...

[Rezzy]

As someone who has played games I would call MILSIMs like ARMA and Tarkov (back in the day, before 'the wiggle') I'm not sure what aspects you are referring to other than ammo management? Like you don't automatically know how many bullets are in your mag and you have to repack them from time to time. Other than that, this is pretty heavily arcade-y, what with being able to revive everyone and heal up so fast and stuff.

[FOOTLOVER900]

when people say milsim, I assume they are talking about bandaging, no passive heal, dragging.

[ImKrazyK]

Yeah, just looked at the tags for the game:
1. Shooter
2. FPS
3. Destruction
4. Multiplayer
5. Action

No mention of MilSim there.

Because it is. It's a more arcadey milsim but it's definitely more on the milsim side than not. Game is SUPPOSED to be about people playing their roles(sim), coordinating and executing strategies(sim) and utilization of the robust health system(sim) to beat your opponents.

What milsim aspect are you even talking about? There's nothing about this that feels milsim

Okay, but we don't plan out the operation for an hour before heading into a simulation. This game is 100% not a MILSIM.

Well ideally everyone would be doing this in the time before the match starts instead of making stupid noises....but y'know.....internet.

Still more milsim than not. Whether you like it or not is irrelevant lol.

It couldn't be more clear that you've never played a simulation game of any kind, nothing is being simulated here. Any level of "arcade"-ness makes it immediately not a MilSim. The condescending tone is ironic

[Inhale Music]

silence

[Chizzit]

This is not a milsim by any stretch of the definition. Hell Let Loose and maybe Insurgency (the mod, source version, and sandstorm) could be the threshold for milsim-lite at best.

That being said, they are working on a "hardcore" mode, so maybe that would lend itself more to milsim-lite, but the base game is not a milsim.

[Reapercussion]

What about this game do you think is milsim? It's not anywhere near what milsim is

[Bread-kun]

The only "milsim" aspect of this game is just the bandage system is pulled wholesale from Squad. Otherwise it's straight up battlefield. I wouldn't call 1 mechanic milsim its just a different way of handling res'ing friends and lets any class do it, vs Battlefield only letting medics do revives.

Tbh the only thing I'd like is if medics revived someone they get brought back to full health instantly because its really annoying reviving people, then pulling out a medkit to heal back and forth over n over. That or if I throw my medkit on the ground give me points for people using it to heal at least.
