ArmA, or more good say, original OFP, is a SIMULATOR of infantry combat, with aditional of vehicles.
That difference has a game? A game is simple, with no touch of realism, of total linearity in its execution. A simulator focuses on the dynamics of a realistic and allows face the same problem in different ways.
Not only aircraft are simulators, so are the infantry, tanks, ships, submarines, helicopters.
Armed Assault is an unworthy successor to OFP, if I totally agree.
OFP is much better than Arma even with its limitations. And I have good hopes with OFP2.
Sims (Sims Party, Sims Dogs) that is NOT a simulator.:thumbup:
Sorry for my offtopic.:P
