Arma 3 KOTH HC: A hard-fought success

[@vitovictorian3869]

Thanks to its longer barrel, the MXM retains the highest muzzle velocity out of all the MX variants: an impressive 920 m/s[CfgWp 60] in contrast to the baseline MX's 800 or even the MXC's meagre 720

Nicely video

[@vitovictorian3869]

Hello Timur. Do you have any video with MXM marksman rifle? What do you think about the MXM? Could you show your gameplay with MXM marksman rifle in your game style? Thank you. I think that MXM is good and universal rifle in any situation, what do you think about?

[@lowskillcamper]

It is in every way worse than Katiba, but requires a marksman perk. Most players do not understand how bad it is compared to other rifles, so they won't see it as me playing with a handicap, but for me it would be a handicap. That would mean that my result would be worse than usual, but the watchers would not blame the rifle. I sometimes use MX SW as a handicap. It at least has 100-rounders. But I don't think I ever made a video with it, since nothing of interest happened when I used it.

Are high refresh rate monitors important?

[@lowskillcamper]

For Arma 3 specifically not that much. Can be helpful on very low-pop servers when FPS can get to around 100. But in full games even a beast machine will struggle to go much higher than 60. Arguably screen size is more important. It is very useful to be able to notice 2 pixels slightly moving to see a sniper in a window 300 meters away from you. I've achieved my first great results on a cheapest available 42 inch 1080p LG TV, which was around 120 centimeters away from my eyes. But generally for gaming I find high refresh rate monitors them very nice. I will not go back to 60 Hz. When I will be buying my next one, it will probably be a 4k 32 inch or bigger 144 Hz or higher display.

[@champdelta98]

@lowskillcamper thank you bro Because I'm using screen 75Hz right now, I can't shoot anyone in time. I aim but I can't hit anyone.

[@lowskillcamper]

@@champdelta98 Try recording your game at 60 FPS or more and analyze your shots frame-by-frame. You can learn a lot from it. I, for example, often complain about hit detection or someone lagging, but when I check the video, turns out that I just missed all 10 shots.

[@champdelta98]

@@lowskillcamper If I have a 144Hz monitor but the fps doesn't touch 60, will it still look smoother than a 60HZ monitor?

[@ratherbyexploring4898]

katiba is secret weapon, shhh

[@lowskillcamper]

Yeah, Katiba is great. But I did less than 30 kills with it in this video. Had to upgrade to SPAR-17 for better penetration.

[@champdelta98]

what is your CPU now? it's so smooth FPS

[@lowskillcamper]

5950x. Video editor fixed 60 FPS output makes it look a bit smoother than it is IRL. In full games with some explosions and smoke grenades I have drops below 30 and average between 40 and 50. The whole specs of my PC are in the description of this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYOQq2V_l7l7gtE

[@frels1337]

@@lowskillcamperWhy do you have 40 - 50 fps avg with this CPU. I have old i5 9600kf and i have same frames.

[@lowskillcamper]

@@frels1337 because I prioritize visuals. Most settings are at Ultra, render distance is usually 1.5 - 2 km (since I often shoot back at snipers), I use 200% supersampling, so the game renders at 5120x2880 resolution. Also 5950x is not the best at single-threaded performance needed for Arma. And Arma 3 engine itself, as far as I understand, is significantly struggling to work efficiently in multiplayer with big amount of players in a small area, so the CPU can not be even fully utilized.

nice vid good game . nice too see finaly somthing from arma3 exept high lvl 3d person navid campers and stupid shortrange shots from maaws

[@lowskillcamper]

Thank you!

[@bigshot329]

what are ur settings at i have a 4070ti super and i get 60 fps on average, i dont even wanna play

[@lowskillcamper]

Pretty much everything on Ultra apart from the blurring effects which are off. I am going for the picture, not performance. I usually have 30-60 FPS during fighting in the city. With 4070ti you are pretty much guaranteed to be CPU-bottlenecked unless you play with 8K resolution.

[@MyColdBeans]

I like hc but the server is usually empty by the time I play.

[@lowskillcamper]

Yeah, sadly Arma 3 KOTH is losing popularity. 4 years ago there were HC servers to chose from. Now there are 2 and one of them uses RHS.

[@igo9481]

@@lowskillcamper everyone is playing reforger now. a3 is dated in many ways

[@lowskillcamper]

@@igo9481 Yeah, I know. I've tried getting into Reforger multiple times. Did not find a game mode I liked. I love the engine tech improvement though. Can't wait for a proper Arma 4 with proper Arma amount of content. Any game mode/server recommendations for a KOTH fan? What I like in KOTH is relatively low cost of death, a very clear goal, games lasting around an hour or two with clear winning and losing teams, "gamified" stats with a leaderboard clearly showing how well you personally did.
