You could get a sound mod. JSRS or DragonFyre are good.

Ok, my question is rather simple, but I couldn't find a previous thread detailing my particular issue. My apologizes if it exists... When I'm playing a singleplayer scenario (specifically WLA: Amalgamation) I notice that jets, both enemy AI and friendly AI, always tend to fly somewhat low, and go in circles around targets I know they can see. I'm also very confident they aren't out of ammunition in these instances. Example: I'll be traveling, either on foot or in a vehicle, across open ground and a squad member points out a jet. I see it and just watch as it circles me. Even as I'm moving, it's pretty clear it's following me. Only rarely do they disappear, to come back using its cannons, but then the circling continues. Bombs and missiles are never used, whether against me or other AI targets. I think I've seen rockets engaged only a handful of times. After watching this happen countless times, and eventually just going about business as usual even when a jet comes by, I started to get the idea the reason examples like the above are occurring is because 1. they fly far too low and 2. they simply don't approach from a far enough distance to engage in a threatening manner. So what's going on? Am I delusional? Is there a way to fix this? Are they doing something crucial that I'm not aware of? Is there an AI mod that changes this? I've been using several addon jets, but the result is the same whether they are addon or vanilla. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, because I would like jets to be actually threatening to me on occasion...

I have an AMD FX-6300, and GTX 960 with all the same specs as you and I can run it pretty well, with 40-50 FPS. I have my view distance (I think...) at about 1800. Make sure your "Overall" isn't too high either, because that will murder your FPS. All the other settings are at standard. I have clouds on low, because quite frankly I don't care about the clouds (and if it gets foggy and you have clouds at high you will get bogged down in performance very quickly). I know plenty of people want to play with the best graphics, but for most AMD users it's going to be a compromise. Which do you want more? Great graphics and crappy gameplay, or just regular graphics with great gameplay? I choose the latter. Hope that helps.

If I put this in the wrong section, please move it. I'm going to start playing ArmA 3 within the next week or two, and I've been checking out mods and I'm pretty excited about what appears to be a very diverse modding community that's supported quite a bit. My question is: What mods/add-ons do you suggest I get? I'm looking specifically for popular mods, as well as what you personally would consider "underrated" mods/add-ons. Altis Life is at the top of my list right now from what little I know of it, but aside from it I am aware of very few. I also know from past experience with other games that there can be some really poor quality mods, and I would like to avoid those. Disclaimer: I have good experience with ArmA 2, if that means anything.

Thank you sir. I honestly don't plan on having the same cpu and motherboard in 10 years, since I imagine most of what I have will be grossly obsolete by then anyway.

A better answer? You could have tried to explain your reasoning, offer suggestions, tips for improving performance (however minimally), been generally more informative, and less meaninglessly blunt about three posts ago.

Again, thank you for the great help. I've read people online using AMD 6300 and being able to work the system out to be able to play just fine. I don't care if I can't play on ultrahigh settings.

That's not very helpful, but thanks anyway?

Ok, I had no idea "mode" was a thing. Thanks.

Two "whatevers" I'm interested in getting when the time comes: DUWS and Altis Life. Are they not called, generically, "mods?"

Hello everyone. I'm new and I was wondering how well I would be able to run ArmA 3 with the following: AMD FX-6300 Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO (if I overclock I assume this would matter more) EVGA GeForce GTX 960 2 sticks of RAM, each 4 Gb Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P This will be a completed build within a week or two, and as of this writing the only thing I can alter is the motherboard. As for the CPU, do you suggest I overclock, or should it be good as is? The FX-6300 is 3.5 GHz, 6 core (for those who don't know). Thank you.
