As many of the people who play arma lie in realism communities I personally believe arma could very well be a greater success if the developers would add just a few small items. 1 A M4/M16 Base gun. I understand that mod makers have release M4 mods but as far as I have seen none of them come close to the quality of work on models as bohemia interactive produces. 2 Large transport aircraft doesnt need explaining 3 decent tank with a commander gun for the nato the slammer up has only 105mm as opposed to a 120mm

It kinda is my business I have been part of these groups and they treat their members like dog crap. ---------- Post added at 00:49 ---------- Previous post was at 00:47 ---------- Yeah I dont have two accounts sir you observations are flawed.

I was more talking about the internal workings of the groups not necessarily the servers themselves. The servers are fine I was just stating the difficulty of trying to play as if it was real life and for the need for them to take and adapt real life tactics and apply them the game better.

Dear Readers I have been part of Mil-Sim groups so my opinions are not without reason please bear with me I wish to offend no one but these are the facts as I see them. Being a player of Arma 3 and Arma 2 you will come across groups such as the 7cav, 15th MEU, 23rd Gaming Division, and the 173rd Airborne, Lets not forget everyones favorite the TAW group. Everyone at one time has probably played on one of these groups servers and possibly been on teamspeak with them. In my honset opinion these are some of the groups which take the game to a level of realism which not only makes you less effective in game but less fun. Many of these groups wish to play the game as if they were fighting actual people as we all know this is not the case. While there are some PVP servers in Arma I have seen more coop servers as opposed to PvP. When you play with some of these groups they restrict you play style so that you are constrained to what they want you to be. In the off chance you join the group they will more than likely put you through some B.S. Basic training which assumes you dont even know how to play the game. I will be honest some tactics regarding communication and formations from actual real life combat can be affective in Arma but at the end of the day you still are fighting against glorified aimbots which means you cant apply some actual real life tactics. I mean we all know you cant lay motionless in the grass and let an AI walk right by you. They will see you and shoot you where a normal human may not. This is only one piece of the puzzle though. Some groups have age limits which are not strictly enforced. I believe this can lead to a lot of internal problems. I mean I am a 21 year old man. I dont want to take orders from some 15 year old kid or be talked down to by one none the less. Many of these groups have superiors which like to hide in their admin caves and talk amoungst themselves, rarely playing the game with the lower ranking people or even with the public. I have had my fair share of problems with these groups and they all are the same. They have people who are on a power trip and wish to the God of the server. When they have missions they will send you to your death and then laugh about it later. honestly I think it best to stay away from groups like this because they are nothing more than Drama, and when i say this I mean High School tattle tale. BS drama. Some members of these groups are good people I am in no way saying they all are bad people. But as with everything, there is always that rotten few who ruin the game for everyone. I was forced to use mod guns for some of these groups when they were completely ineffective. and with the release of Arma 3 the Realism Kinda becomes skewed. I think Camo Mods are great but these groups need to adapt to what BI has given us. Use the MX guns they are versitile and usefully when you learn how to use them. I could go on but I have other things to do. Please respond with your thoughts and ideas. If any of the groups mentioned feel upset please contact me Im more than willing to give suggestions and talk. Sincerly PhoenixRisen Prophet Chuck_Norris9000

I personally run two 660ti's and an i5 3rd generation processor with 16gb of ram the game right now has problems with multiplayer, at least for me a lot of servers out there are either underpowered or they do not have ample internet connection. You can plainly tell because my system can run A3 with 60fps+ on singleplayer.... multiplayer however is dependent on the server speed and the processing power of the server. there is a significant amount of desync between servers and players right now. I have had some servers run at 3 fps and cause my client to slow down to around 30 below fps. multiplayer is in the process of being optimized and I can only hope a company like NVidia will release a driver for optimizing arma.

First off the damage done is relevant to what gun you are using. I personally prefer the MX series but they take some getting used too. when shooting its best to be in the crouched position for best mobility and shooting preformance. Also dont forget to fire in short burst and aim for center mass pulling down on the mouse when firing will also help you keep you sights on the target. also using a silencer is a bad idea it increases recoil and decreases damage. If you have unusually high ping on a server you can have a dely between you hitting the target and it dropping. all 5.56 calibers also are pretty ineffective at all ranges. remember you can check your de-sync by pulling up the map and then selecting players in the tap in the top left and finding your name and clicking on it. it will pull out a menu with you de sync and ping rate along with your bandwidth. also if you are using mods a large amount of the mod guns i have found have bad damage or dont fire where you are shooting also remember to check your zeroing. the rco sight is zeroed to 300m which means anything short of 300 you need to aim below a little to hit it
