[D_Mil_Realism]

I never played Arma, to be fair. I always gravitated more toward the "brain-rot" games! But you're right of course, realistic games use more realistic ballistic models (and everything else).

One reason I never got too into the simulator games was that the line between "real" and "game" is always going to be very arbitrary. No simulator will replicate the experience of slogging over a marshy mountain carrying 100 lbs and a GPMG! The Onion said it best: https://youtu.be/yuTkgi7scKo?feature=shared

A real combat simulator would have you polish boots and cleaning latrines for most of them time, and then wake you in the middle of the night with an artillery barrage.
