Damage-wise both are awful and pretty much require clear under-the-helmet headshots to work effectively. 9mm has a bit better ballistics and flatter arc. In Arma 3 it is supersonic, so people hear the cracks and can easily react when getting shot at. .45 in Arma 3 is subsonic so less experienced players might not even understand that they are getting shot at. .45 has 2 pistols supporting red dots, there are not 9mm pistols with red dots. 9mm pistols can use 30-round magazines from 9mm SMGs (stupid), .45 pistols can not. OPFOR uniforms has insane advantage against both pistol calibers. Without headshots you generally need twice more hits to kill OPFOR soldiers. So playing with pistols against OPFOR is very hard. In general, both calibers are equally not practical in Arma 3 either in an SMG or in a pistol. Use them only if you want a strong handicap. Pistols as backup weapons are also not practical. Even M320 with iron sights is more effective as a CQB weapon than any pistol. The only loadout where a pistol can be used as a backup IMO is when you have Kozlice as the main weapon.
True, I made tests for 9x21 and .45, 9mm is more powerful at all ranges, leader in 9mm is Rook. In .45 leader is obviously a revolver (he is better damage vice than rook, but rook has 16 or 30 rnd mags so 9mm wins)@@lowskillcamper 😥
And i realised i ve been subscribed to you since ages
