I would like to see a game that calculates the distance to the target, the wind speed and direction, and the mechanical accuracy of the rifle, and the adjust the bullet trajectory accordingly. E.g. an AR-15 should have a mechanical accuracy of about 2-3 MOA on average, and usually has a 50/200 zero (e.g., your optic is zeroed at 50 yards, and height over bore means that you'll hit slightly below your point of aim at less than 50 yards, above your point of aim between 50 and 200 yards, and then below after 200). So you should have to aim, say, about 24" high on a target that's 400y away, but then your point of impact is anywhere within about a 12" diameter circle. 7.62x39mm in an AK? You get a 25/200 zero, 4 MOA mechanical accuracy, and at 400y you have to aim 46" high.

Oh, and calculate velocity for realistic time to impact, and actual damage; at 600y, a 5.56 is doing to be stopped by pretty light body armor with minimal injury.

Essentially I'd like a game to force people to understand real-world ballistics and performance, and adjust their strategies accordingly.

Just play Arma with Ace installed. Already has all that and more

Does anyone really play Arma, or does one person build a mission, and then everyone fucks around until that person gets frustrated and stop trying to direct anything?

Just go play Operation Harsh Doorstop, it is free (community funded free not microtransaction casino "free"), runs a million times better, has vehicles and support for large maps and is moddable!

(including support for players downloading a server's mods on connection so players only have to click on a server to try out a new gamemode or mod)

I constantly praise this game and it is because of the crazy potential of it, it's accessibility and the fact that the foundation is already awesome.

Or check out Easy Red 2 for realistic WW2 battles and easy and useful controls for giving orders to AI teammates.

(it it is usually around $9)
