Simulation Balance: Difficulty & AI
Arma 3 offers one of the most granular difficulty systems in gaming. Instead of a simple “Easy/Hard” switch, server admins must configure a specific profile file to dictate everything from third-person camera restrictions to the spotting distance of enemy AI.

The Arma3Profile
Difficulty settings are not found in your mainserver.cfg. They are located in your server’s “User Profile.”
- Path:
/files/config/Users/Server/Server.Arma3Profile(Path may vary based on setup). - Edit Method: Text Editor.
The Custom Difficulty Block
We strongly recommend using theCustom difficulty class. This gives you absolute control over HUD elements.
Taming the AI (Terminators vs Stormtroopers)
Arma 3 AI is notorious for instantly headshotting players from 500 meters away. You must tune them to be “Tactical but Inaccurate.”- skillAI:
0.85- High value makes them flank, use smoke grenades, and take cover intelligently.
- precisionAI:
0.35- Low value makes their aim shaky, simulating human stress under fire.
