Ah, I see. So you’re Switzerland! Making money and avoiding conflict. Can’t say it’s not smart. Increases the probability of a successful run without interference. Good way to build up a pile of cash.

Soloing is actually pretty fun, but it can still be compatible within gang environments. You don’t need to constantly be with your gang on the map, you can spread out and simply call on each other whenever trouble arises and whatnot. Additionally, if the rest of the gang is rolling as a unit then you could act like a scouting party in some circumstances and relay information to them. You don’t even need to go out of your way to scout, you can just be doing a run and see another person with a tempest and call it out to your lads.

Have you noticed other games running slower than usual? If so it is most likely your system or hardware. Are other servers running better? If so, then I can't help and you would be better off talking to olympus staff/devs etc. (obviously). Are the temperatures good while playing Arma? No overheating? Have you installed anything unusual lately? Run a virus/malware scan? Haven't cleaned out your pc software in a while? CCleaner, temp files, etc? Did you try rolling back your drivers at all? The new updates might have effected your FPS. Change your Arma3.cfg or .Arma3Profile any? Increasing your FOV, changing GPU_MaxFramesAhead, GPU_DetectedFramesAhead, might have hurt it. Are you running Arma 3 on an HDD or SSD? Changed any launcher options? Windows 10 DVR off? Sometimes it likes to turn on randomly every couple of months for me, I just keep it off. Heard it helps with FPS but I just didn't like the feature. My FPS in Arma 3 tanked and went from like 50 fps to 20 fps before my graphics card died. Could be a sign of some failing hardware, however, your equipment wasn't as old as mine was. My guess right now would be some driver issues since @Vigi easy money has the same specs as you and had problems.

I think a good way to balance the tax and having it effect the rich more than the poor would be to have it so each player can have one "main house" and all the others would be taxed. That way the less rich players will still be able to invest in a house for their runs and whatnot while not being punished, and the rich are able to have numerous houses they can invest in. I don't think garages should be taxed though. Their functionality is rather different than houses and are simply more scarce than other types of infrastructure. If it's possible then there could also be a tax bracket shown in the example below. Note: Figures used aren't supposed to suggest how much the cost of taxes are. I just added them for illustration. Price would also depend the size of the house which I am not bothered to include. This is only a suggestion and I imagine many others would be better at adjusting the costs accordingly. 1 house: Tax free as it is your main house. 2 houses: Main house tax free, second house taxed 50k. 3 houses: Main house tax free, second house taxed 50k, third house taxed 50k, plus an additional 25k for owning three houses. etc.

I don’t know about the attack helicopter being a real thing, however, I don’t doubt it since I identify as a fruit roll up.
