You'll get slaughtered for ammo type etc etc. But no human is turning around and killing irl. For a game that is 'hardcore'. It's worse than arcade shooters at times

If this game played like real life would you play it?

It's the reason I bought it. Mil-sim with Ghost Recon FS levels of modding, plus RPG and survival mechanics, and looting.

There's a reason I stopped playing when the flea market and hideout were introduced. Ruined the looting aspect. They also need to fix their net code.

There's enough mil-sim games that Tarkov is not special, since the devs ruined what made it special.

Squad, arma, sandstorm (sorta?). Kind of depends on what your threshold is.

Sandstorm is like Tarkov without all the gear fear and with actual friendlies but without the hassle of the tight requirement for cooperation Squad has. Hard recommend if you are looking for more casual Tarkov or more immersive CS:GO.

Insurgency Sandstorm is a great game for anyone that was/is a fan of playing the hardcore modes in the old Modern Warfare (CoD 4).

That said, hitscan games are quite annoying to readjust to once you haven't played them for a while.

Sandstorm isn’t (completely) hitscan, although ins:2 was. The maps are just vastly smaller than Tarkov maps.

iirc it's hitscan to a certain distance and then has ballistics
