I have the same problem too, I used preset called "whole lotta blood" (or something). When I had to reinstall Arma 3, I lost this settings and can't find it anywhere. If I remember correctly, the presets were in a thread at this mod page, but now I suppose that they were deleted.

BMP Infantry Fighting Vehicle

EDIT: For those who wish to import my settings without needing to set every value manually I included an importable block of code at the end of the file.

NOTE: These settings will also eliminate the flickering on blood textures if you have the problem.

For anyone that still wants/need realistic values, these are the configs I've found works best after extensive testing.

(Note this was tested in single player on a Intel 13th gen core I5 13400F, with 32 gigs of RAM and a Nvidia RTX 3060, so you may need to dial it down for systems with lower specs or for servers with a dozen or more players.)

Bleeding (drops & intervals)

Bleed droplet limit
Value: 120
Explanation: Keeps trails long and believable without flooding the scene in large firefights. Lower to ~100 if you ever notice stutter in mass battles.


Bleed duration
Value: 240 (seconds)
Explanation: Safety cap for how long a bleed spawner can run. Real bleed will stop earlier if the units wound state ends.

### Bleed interval slowdown
Value: 0.45
Explanation: Starts fast and wet,, then slows by ~45% as time passes, mimics natural tapering of blood loss.

Bleed interval variance
Value: 0.25 (25%)
Explanation: Adds randomness so drops doesn't appear on a perfect metronome.

### Bleed interval (base)
Value: 0.50 (seconds)
Explanation: Half second base spacing gives dense but readable trails when the unit is walking/crawling.

### Drop placement jitter
Value: 0.18 (meters)
Explanation: Small lateral wobble so trails don't look like a perfect railroad track.

---

## Smearing & Pooling

### Blood pool frame rate
Value: 30 (updates/sec)
Explanation: Smooth pool growth without wasting CPU. Drop to 24 if you ever see hitching in very busy missions.

### Blood smear duration
Value: 240 (seconds)
Explanation: Several minutes of dragged streaks while a unit is still bleeding; then naturally fades.

### Blood smear interval slowdown
Value: 0.45
Explanation: Smears start dense then ease up over time, matching the main bleed behavior.

### Blood smear spacing
Value:0.30 (meters)
Explanation: Tight, believable smear segments. Raise to 0.35 if it looks like a continuous paint roller; lower to 0.25 for denser smears.

---

## Splatter (non-obliteration)

### Blood splatter angle jitter
Value: 10 (degrees)
Explanation: Impact fans stay organic without going chaotic (8–12° also fine).

### Blood splatter limit
Value: 140
Explanation: Global cap for active splatter decals keeps density high but safe for performance.

### Blood splatter placement jitter
Value: 0.12 (meters)
Explanation: Small lateral scatter so impact blotches don't form perfect circles.

### Blood splatter probability
Value: 0.70 (70%)
Explanation: Not every hit throws a visible splatter; feels right at CQB ranges.

### Explosive damage threshold
Value: 0.35
Explanation: Only meaningful blasts trigger splatter avoids tiny grenade tickle paint.

### Max blood splatters per hit
Value: 3
Explanation: A couple of distinct blotches per bullet impact; avoids comic-book showers.

### Max blood splatters to spawn from explosions
Value: 10
Explanation: Messy but not screen-filling for grenades and light explosives.

### Max spawn distance (ground)
Value: 1.5 (meters)
Explanation: Keeps ground splats near the victim; longer throws look cartoony.

### Max spawn distance (surface)
Value: 2.0 (meters)
Explanation: Nearby walls and props can catch spray without painting faraway surfaces.

### Projectile caliber factor
Value:* 1.20
Explanation: Heavier calibers subtly increase count/size vs. small arms while staying grounded.

---

## Spray & Arterial

### Blood spray frame rate
Value: 40 (updates/sec)
Explanation: Smooth close-up jets without burning CPU cycles needlessly.

### Blood spray jitter
Value: 0.08 (meters)
Explanation: Tiny wobble so jets don't look laser-straight.

### Blood spray limit
Value: 60
Explanation: Caps concurrent spray emitters to keep frames stable in large fights.

### Blood spray probability
Value: 0.60 (60%)
Explanation: Only some impacts produce a visible directional jet keeps tone realistic.

### Blood sprays to spawn on hit
Value: 1
Explanation: One directional jet per meaningful hit; heavy calibers may escalate via caliber factor.

### Arterial blood spray duration
Value: 7 (seconds)
Explanation: Brief, forceful spurts that taper quickly gritty but not a fountain.

### Arterial blood spray frame rate
Value:45 (updates/sec)
Explanation: Extra-smooth rendering because arterial effects are very noticeable up close.

### Arterial blood spray limit
Value: 12
Explanation: Enough for simultaneous casualties without chaos or perf spikes.

### Arterial blood spray probability
*Value: 0.15 (15%)
Explanation: Rare, mostly on severe hits; keeps the tone grounded.

---

## Trails

### Blood trail cancel distance
Value: 0.60 (meters)
Explanation: Prevents stamping a new drop unless the unit moved ~2 feet; avoids dot-puddles when shuffling in place.

### Blood trail duration
Value: 240 (seconds)
Explanation: Cap for trail spawner longevity; actual bleeding may stop earlier with wound changes.

### Blood trail probability
Value: 0.65 (65%)
Explanation: Most meaningful hits leave a trail while moving, but not every tickle looks natural.

### Blood trail spacing
Value:0.32 (meters)
Explanation: Realistic, tight spacing for walking/crawling trails. Adjust ±0.03 m to taste.

### Triggering body parts (SQF array)
Value: ["torso","pelvis","arms","legs"]
Explanation: Enables trails from legs/torso and helpful arm streaks while prone. Excludes head for a less dramatic, more realistic look.
*Formatting tip:* keep lowercase names, double quotes, commas, and square brackets exactly as shown, it may show the " as ' after saving the values, but it will work anyway.

## Obliteration (rare, not Hollywood)

### (Obliteration) blood splatter placement jitter
Value:0.22 (meters)
Explanation: Wider scatter than standard bullet hits, but not a paint bomb.

### falling obliteration gib speed factor
Value: 0.85
Explanation: Damps launch speed so fall gibs don't yeet unrealistically far.

### falling obliteration gib speed threshold
Value:14.0 (m/s)
Explanation: Only very hard impacts can trigger fall obliteration keeps it rare.

### gib bleed duration
Value:90 (seconds)
Explanation: Short seep from gibs that feels believable and then stops.

### gib limit
Value:16`
Explanation: Prevents big blasts from spawning so many gibs that performance tanks.

### gib-speed explosive force factor
Value:0.90
Explanation: Moderate shove from blasts; avoids cartoonish arcs.

### required damage threshold
Value: 0.80
Explanation: Needs ~80% serious damage to obliterate keeps it exceptional.

### total blood splatters to spawn on obliteration
Value:12
Explanation: Messy but restrained; scales well in co-op without covering every surface.

## Quick tweak options
- Too much? Lower probabilities** by ~0.10 and limits by ~15-30%.
- Too little? Raise probabilities** by ~0.10 or decrease spacing by 0.02 -0.05 m.
- Micro stutter in big battles? First lower: splatter limit, spray limit, or pool/smear durations.
