Arma 3 leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Arma 3
Bullet drop, stance, sway, weight all matter
Halo Wars 2
Leader power activation and Blitz card plays need precise timing
Reads7 vs 7

PvP and milsim ops reward prediction
Halo Wars 2
Opponent leader choice and Blitz deck strategy must be predicted
Variance4 vs 3
Arma 3 leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Arma 3
Mission scripts and AI behavior vary
Halo Wars 2
Blitz card draw and resource crate spawns add moderate uncertainty
Optimization6 vs 6

Arma 3
Loadout planning and tactics solvable
Halo Wars 2
Leader power cooldown sequencing and base slot assignment are learnable
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
