Case in point. I'd truly like to know your rationale for believing fixing clipping issues, falling off scaffolding, lag, clunky context menus, etc. equate to dumbing down the game or wanting it to be less realistic. And I don't understand where this paladin of realism superiority complex comes from either considering ArmA isn't anywhere close to being realistic. Go play Steel Beasts and tell me ArmA models tanks realistically. Go play DCS Blackshark and tell me ArmA models helicopters realistically.

Thank you. I love ArmA; I've been playing these games since at least OPF 1.85. And I love the community and players too. I remember the first time I awkwardly flew a transport helicopters full of team mates, the chat was hilarious even when the ride came to a crashing halt, the community is like the polar opposite of HoN. It's just a pet peeve of mine and I see it all the time when I'm looking up a technical or game issue on the forums and it kind of annoys me.

"Sometimes when I stand near the ladder I have to say a little prayer or the action to climb won't appear." "That's ArmA simulating aversion to heights, bro. Go play COD, noob." "When I'm climbing scaffolding it sometimes feels like an invisible hand is pushing me off" "Yeah, that's the wind, bro. ArmA is realistic like that. If you don't like wind go play COD, noob." "Interacting with objects without clunky context menus would be nice." "ArmA is simulating indecisiveness. Do you want to be a driver? Do you want to be a gunner? Go play COD, noob." "When I'm playing on low ping servers with low ping players there are still issues with players teleporting or freezing." "ArmA is simulating the fog of war, bro. War is confusing and disorientating. You killed him. Or did you? Go play COD, noob." "Driving a car feels like driving a taxing jet." "Go play GTA!#@!$!@$" Please quit trotting out the "ArmA is realistic go play X, bro" line to dismiss any criticism, and quit making poor excuses for stuff that can accurately be described as bugs or just plain awkwardness that serves no purpose. It seems to make appearances when discussing issues that have nothing to do with action vs simulation, and god help you if you mention or suggest anything a mainstream shooter like Battlefield does well.
