  • ►Description◄
    A video tutorial to get you through the very basics of Arma. A followup to my previous video answering the question "Should you buy Arma 3". I will follow this one up too with a more in depth mod tutorial if you are interested. I apologize again for choppy audio, I only had time for one take before I left on holiday. So I had to work with what I had. Hope you find this helpful anyways :D
    If I missed anything and you have a question feel free to comment. I can always add it to a followup video to this.
    This video is best watched in 4k60fps, Anything lower than 1080p will get mangled by CZcams's poor bit-rate.

Compared to Flashpoint Dragon Rising it still looks like shit in my oppinion though. Especially the first campaign mission where you fly over that ugly looking desolate wasteland with a helicopter. Dont know why they call these settings Ultra if it doesent even look much better than GTA 4 on Max settings

    Step one: Don’t go into it thinking it’s like battlefield 4. You wanna hop in a tank with a single key? Nah friend, you gotta scroll through a menu. You wanna spot an enemy for your team? Best believe it’s 2 keys on 2 sides of the keyboard. Wanna heal yourself with that medkit you just picked up? Better hope it works or you’re shit outta luck. Thank you for coming to my Ted X talk. All griping rants aside, I’m having fun with arma so far, even if I’d gladly forgo some of the realism keys for convenience sake. But hey, it’s a military sim and that’s what you signed up for, I spose.

    I’m gonna write this comment to help people over here,
    For arma 3 you must have at least over 5 GB’s of ram,
    Make sure you have a GPU that is from 2008 <
    Intergrated graphics won’t work for Arma that good unless you have an amazing CPU (I’m talking latest Ryzen CPU)
    Now with Vsync, really depends on your specs , not just your monitor, you could have a 60hz monitor, but have a bad GPU, meaning Vsync will slow down your game.
    I hope this helped, any questions wouldn’t be minded!

    Is it normal for your psu to spit flames and sparks go happen under the cpu heatsink? I think something is wrong or this game is a bit too heavy on my pc. Help

    This is a stupid request, but it's driving me crazy trying to figure it out. at 2:34, you say "even those with a PC". What is the word you used there??? I cannot figure it out. A NASA PC? Thanks for the guide, BTW. Very helpful!
