Is this picture from real life or arma 3?

[HolyAllah 10]

So my firend sends me this picture and tells me its Arma 3. He then told me it was a real life picture. Now im really confused and would like to know if its a real picture or a Arma 3 screenshot? I cant find this picture anywhere on the official site..

If this is indeed Arma 3 then i will instantly buy it because i have never seen such a photorealisitc game ever.

This is the picture im talking about:

Arma 3.

You need serious horsepower to run at those settings.

That is indeed from Arma 3 :) The Opfor Kajman attack helicopter

Definitely not real. You can see the modeling on the front nose if you look close - the silhouette reveals straight lines not a curve. Also the rotors - the blur starts at the rotor not the machinery holding the rotor.

It will probably not look quite as good as that while playing unless you have a very powerful PC.

Bingo, always the biggest give away. Until they start use some proper DX11 tessalation, then who knows where to look.

The biggest giveaway might be the helo that doesn't exist at all...

Mystery solved :)

Indeed the game does look great and I recommend that you buy it for its game play features as well.

Not everybody is familiar with military tech. I remember some people calling the Merkava fake :)
