What the hell is going on with ARMA GOLD!?
So I have just started playing the game for the first time. I finished OPERATION FLASHPOINT / ARMA COLD WAR ASSAULTS yesterday and I couldn't wait to finally play something newer after so many years.

First mission where I actually get to shoot at someone (with a sniper rifle) and they are like feckin' bullet sponges... Even in Half-Life enemies die faster...

WTF is sh1t? I came from the world where 1 or 2 bullets kills you. Mostly just 1. And what the hell is going on here!? This can't be real... can it? I have everything disabled and play on VETERAN. Could it be the reason why they are spongy? I mean I understand chest where they have armours but some of the shots land right on their face directly and they are still crawling...

I refuse to believe that ARMA took such wrong directions in realism after OPERATION FLASHPOINT.

Does anyone have any insight?

I don't know what to tell you... maybe you're using some mod...
and if not, the truth is very strange, at the moment I can't think of anything, if you shoot him in the face it's instant death, and depending on the caliber and the distance you can injure or kill him, if the caliber isn't very large and you shoot at too far a distance for that caliber and/or weapon you will injure him but not kill him with a single shot.

Yea, they dropped just fine from a shorter distance.

They have messed something up... maybe the guy just took a wrong tool for the job... Most of the hits felt like I was shooting with gummy bears...

We will see with the next missions/

Yes... either way, there are a couple of mods that correct ballistics, muzzle velocity, etc., to realistic values.
The default values ​​aren't that far off, but they're not exact.

Also, if we're going to make a direct comparison, ArmA Gold has more realistic values ​​than OFP/CWA. OFP's values ​​were more arcade-like, because it was the first, which was also the best of the best for its time.

Thank you. That's interesting. It's also fascinating how community can oftentimes make their beloved games so much better with their dedication and passion/

They are not bullet sponges. It's just u missing your shoots.

No man, there's clearly some bug or whatever the f*** that is, everything else feels OK.

I was hitting them and even saw 'blood marks' but they still needed like 5-6 shots sometimes lol. It is one of the very first few missions, the one you get a sniper rifle and shoot up a convoy from a water tower. Anyway, it scared me sh1tless that newer ARMA games will be like that lol, thanks god no/

It was weird way to 'introduce' me to the game but I didn't have that kind of problem anywhere else later in the game.

I just did that mission. They wear body armour. and U are quite far from them. Headshot kills them instantly. But honestly it is very annoying mission.
