for those having issues with performance and are starting through steam:
1) right click on arma 3 in your steam library -> go to properties -> set launch options
2) use the following commands to do some things:
-noSplash (this turns off the beginning splash screens and makes the game load faster)
-cpuCount=x (x=the number of CPUs on your processor, so if you're running an AMD fx8350 x=8, etc)
-high (sets priority to high)
-maxMem=y (y= amount of RAM in your system, defaulted at 4096. if you have 8 GB or more keep it to 8192)
so, in the window, you would type "-noSplash -cpuCount=8 -high -maxMem=8192" without the quotes to use all of those things.
Basically, the engine has BS defaults. adding these to the launch parameters should make the game run better for you (at least slightly) if you are having issues. Also, lower your visibility range to 2500-3000 and object visibility to like 500-750 helped me a lot.

Adding to that,
will remove the background scene going on in the main menu, drastically cutting down loading time.
Also,
disables logging errors and warnings, giving you a slight performance increase.

ARMA 3 is now one of the daily deals on Steam. €26,99 instead of €44,99. For people that didn't want to pay full price for it.

when combat is around it's not too slow, but finding combat can be. You really gotta play as a squad, use smoke/covering fire, know how to engage at real engagement distances (you'll rarely take a shot at someone closer than 20 meters, while in BF you probably get 50% of your kills at closer than 20 meters), know how to use terrain to your advantage when defending/assaulting, understand a bunch of extra controls, understand suppressing fire, etc. It forces you to actually play as a squad (and play tactically as a squad) instead of having a bunch of people running around like idiots all over the map trying to keep a high KDR and not playing objectives.
But the only way to know if it's too slow for your preference is to play it yourself honestly.
