I have +1k hours in DCS too (jets) and have thousands of hours in arma 3 so i get what you're saying but they arent really comparable, other is pretty realistic simulator while other is just arcadey "milsim" But if you want to just pilot in arma then I wouldnt recommend unless you accept the fact that its more arcadey and just want to enjoy flying actual troops in military environment while getting shot at etc
@TeejMcC wow ...I almost donated to...saw the arguments over discord but was at work...so I couldn't look more into it...by the time I got home...saw that the discord server was down.
